The Devious Husband (The Windsors, #6)

by Catharina Maura

“You’re such an idiot,” she snaps, pure rage flickering through my sweet sister’s eyes, and it catches me off-guard.

Sister ?! 🤦🏾‍♀️ why wouldn’t you just say thaattttt🫠…men are so annoying.

Valeria left home when she was twenty, not wanting anything to do with the way our family conducted our business, and instead of stopping her, I let her go.

Interesting. Okay. This makes sense.

We searched for her for years, only to find her on our doorstep one night, bruised and broken, her clothes drenched in blood.

Ooh. What happed to her ?

she’s mostly kept to herself, requesting that we help her stay hidden, her identity kept secret. It’s clear she’s scared, and until we know what she’s running from, we’re abiding by her wishes.

Mmmmmmm, abusive, ex maybe ?

I can’t help but laugh and look away, only to spot bright emerald eyes that I’d recognize anywhere. “Sierra,” I whisper. Our eyes lock, but she acts like she doesn’t even see me

Welp..😬 this could get awkward

her undivided attention on the man she’s with — Graham Thorne. Is that why she’s been declining my calls?

Uh ohhh😬

“Think before you act,” Valeria urges, and I unlock my jaws. I didn’t even realize I’d been glaring at them.

I doubt he’s gonna do that darling. 😬🤦🏾‍♀️

“Bold of you to assume I’m capable of thinking straight when she’s near,” I mutter as I rise to my feet. My sister audibly sighs

😂😂 exactly what I thought. Crazy pants.

“Sierra,” I warn. “There isn’t much that I won’t let slide when it comes to you, but there are lines you shouldn’t cross. Eat with him if you’d like, but you’re leaving with me after. I’ll drive you home myself.”

Wellll, it went better than I thought. But you definitely should tell her the truth and stop provoking her.

I wonder if she realizes how telling it is that she knows exactly where to go. Judging by his sour, forced smile, Graham has certainly noticed.

Uh oohhh, we got another guy moving in on your turf Xavier..watch gonna do buddy ?

In all the years we’ve known each other, neither Sierra nor I have been in a relationship. Hell, I’ve never even seen her act remotely flirtatious

Wooooow. Really ? Cuutteeee♥️

so why has she been letting Graham get away with his little touches? I can’t shake the feeling that something is going on between them,

They’re old childhood friends. Relaaaaaxx😂🫠

She has no idea that I don’t even like red wine, does she? I bought that bottle for her, in the unlikely event she’d ever come over.

Broooo, he is so down bad girl ! 😭🤭

The Mrs. Kingston Protocol — a protocol that’s enacted the moment Sierra steps foot on any of my properties.

Of course. I expect nothing less. 😂

She has no idea just how robust my security is, and just how many security personnel are on site and purposely stepping away when she breaks in.

I cannot right now.. he’s been helping her ?!😂😂🤭 of course he has. Smdh. Awwww, he calls it the Mrs. Kingston protocol🥴♥️. Lord, it’s me again…🫠

Mrs. Kingston protocol allows her to do whatever she wants without setting off any of my alarms, and it always makes Elijah’s day when she breaks in.

DAWG ❗️😂 he’s been helping her break into his properties this entire time ?! 😂😂😂😂 omggggg, he is DEFINITELY DOWN BAD.

Graham wraps his arm around the back of my sofa, his thumb touching Sierra’s shoulder. Why the fuck does he keep doing that? It’s inappropriate,

😂 I’m weak.

I’ve seen her put countless men in their place for behaving like that with her, so why is she okay with him doing it?

They have history. 🤷🏽‍♀️

reaching over to click on something before placing her hand on his thigh. She leaves it there as she begins to read what’s on his screen, and my heart squeezes painfully.

Aaawwwww, welp. 🤷🏽‍♀️ You know, at some point you gotta say something. 😂 I’m laughing because I know what eventually happens w/ them and it’s adorable. 😂

It’s one thing for him to touch her in little ways, but it’s something else for her to reciprocate.

Awwww, puddin🥴

I ran a background check on Graham after I saw them together at dinner, and it came back squeaky clean.

😂😂🤦🏾‍♀️ I’m not surprise you did that.

Take that, Felix Osiris. Fictional asshole. How fucking dare he make my wife wet when he isn’t even real? Fucking prick.

Lmaaaooo. Hilarious .

I grabbed your wrist and took a bite of your cookie, and just like that, I made it to the top of your most hated list, though it took me years to realize that’s how I condemned myself.

😂♥️ that’s how this ancient feud got started ? Over a cookie ??!? 😂😂 they’re broth nuts.

Mrs. Kingston Protocol — a security protocol that allowed you to do absolutely anything you wanted at any Kingston property, at any time.

He is so down baaaddddd😂🤭. My mans is so enamored w/ her that he created a security protocol to help her get him back whenever he would do stuff. Mans literally helped her wreaked havoc in his life and businesses and he just smiles and falls in love.😂♥️ I love it here.

It was hubris, to name the protocol that, and I knew it, but even back then, I just couldn’t help myself when it came to you.

♥️♥️♥️

Please be happy together, Sierra. Live a life filled with wonder, devoid of regrets, and overflowing with love. You deserve nothing less, my sweet child.

Im lowkey sad but happy at this letter, but mostly this part is what really got me. Love this.♥️

I sigh when I walk in and find him seated, my brothers and my dad standing in front of him, their guns clearly visible in their holsters.

Lmaoo, men🤦🏾‍♀️😭. Smh

“That guy chose to marry Valeria,” I remind them. “He clearly has no sense of fear, nor any self preservation skills.

Lmaoo, not too much on your sister.

“Honestly, Enzo, if she’s forcing you to marry her against your will, blink twice. I’ll find a way to save you.” He opens his eyes as wide as possible, and I can’t help but chuckle.

LMAAOOOO😂😂

You have to earn the right to be with someone every day, in little ways that show them you care, that you love them, that you still choose them, long after you say ‘I do’.

This part ! Absolutely. It’s not easy, but w/ the right person it’s completely worth it. 🤭♥️

Somehow, our love just grows stronger every day, and I can’t wait to continue writing our story together, our happily ever after never ending.

What a good story !🤭♥️ I loved thiissssss. Ugh, Cat you’ve done it again my love.
