Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 614

Ludwik brushed his thumb gently against the soft lobe of her ear, whispering with a low chuckle, "We've made our vows before a preacher, Whitney. The night is young and fleeting. If you keep this up, when will I ever get to carry you over the threshold?" Whitney trembled with indignant fury.

What?

How dare this madman suggest such a thing?

The blood in Whitney's veins boiled with anger, and she sprung up, glaring at him with shock and outrage, "If you lay a finger on me, it'll be over for both of us!

I belong to Bryce, legally and emotionally. I'm his!"

"Do you even know what he did to you?" Ludwik's anger surged, his veins throbbing, "Stop mentioning that man's name, Whitney. He doesn't deserve it.

Do you really think marrying him was your choice?

Not a scheme manipulated from behind the scenes?

He's far more despicable than you could imagine."

"You tell me not to mention him, but I will. Bryce is my lawful husband.

No matter what you say or how much you slander him, I've made my choice.

I love him, and I chose to marry him!

I'd rather die than be with you in some farcical remarriage."

Her defiance infuriated him.

Ludwik grabbed her, setting her on the table as he moved in like a predator, "You said Florence threatened your marriage using Sammy.

I looked into it. It was Bryce who put Florence up to it. Did you know?!"
