It’d been overwhelming the legalese of the documents he’d presented with his attorney had all been a jumble to her. He’d given her a day before finally coming to her with his own terms. Mistresses were expendable, wives were little harder to dispose of and Eden had been armed with at least that little knowledge. He’d wanted her badly enough that he’d grudgingly agreed to her one condition… marriage.
