I threw the agreement in his face, leaped to my feet, and started showing them the door. “Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a beauty nap to take. Get out of here and remember to take your trash with you.”

I couldn’t believe it took me eight years to realize who Edward really was. I had liked him since I was 16!

I guess I had Maddison to thank for that. I was this close to marrying a snake!

Sally was upset. “This is what I don’t like about you, Taylor. You have the temper of a tyrant!

“Look at Maddie—she’s gentle, docile, soft-spoken, and reasonable. She’s so considerate of me, too!”

I forced the disgust in my heart down and commanded my pet dog, “Bullet, get them!”

Bullet barked at them incessantly.

Sally’s face turned pale. “You! How dare you!”

Edward had to hold her hand as they backed away.

He shot me a cold glance. “This is too much, Taylor! How could I have been so wrong about you?!”

I smirked as I could say the same about him!

Edward and Sally left in a hurry. They even forgot to take Edward’s things.

I’d grown accustomed to his verbal tirades.

“Should I buy some fireworks while I’m at it?” I asked.

“What the hell?!”

“You know, to celebrate the occasion,” I explained.
