“You want revenge on The Heartstones. I want something as well, while the Heartstones fall before your eyes.”

I frown, meditatively. A sick excitement courses through me.

“What do you want?” I ask, unable to suppress my enthusiasm. The thought of Regan and his family destroyed, thrilling. 

“I need a wife and pregnancy, so that my father can hand over the entire business to me.” 

I frown, wondering what that has to do with me. 

“Marry me tomorrow and sign an agreement to get pregnant for me. Then watch the first wave of The Heartstones’ devastation.”
 

Her Nectar, His Peak

Melanie.

Saturday.

I gaze at myself in the mirror. Amazed.

Beautiful, enviable. Priceless. I finish with my outfit; a silver dress, complete with a pair of matching rhinestone heeled sandals.

The dress, a beautiful maxi, with double side slits. My legs show, as I walk. It's one of the dresses Malachi sent me, on Thursday, which I didn't initially acknowledge.

After our shared moment, when I went to my room that night, I finally checked them. Each one, beautiful.

Finally, I had to settle for something and I selected this one.

I have diamond and pearls on my neck and ears. Even my wrists. My wedding ring gracing my finger.
