Grayson's Vow

by Mia Sheridan

Today may be a very bad day, but tomorrow may be the best day of your life. You just have to hang on until you get there.

Watch what people do when they think no one’s watching, love. That’s how you’ll know who they really are.

But sometimes, I supposed, a girl just had to be her own hero.

Dammit, Kira, you knew enough not to disappear. I need you at my disposal.

He says he can’t figure whether you’re a spoiled princess or a little witch, but I think if you are a witch, it’s the good kind ’cuz you sure are pretty.”

Lol!!

“Course, my mama says it’s not what a person has, but how he treats others, so I don’t know.”

“Oh my GOD!” I shrieked, realizing I was as naked as a jaybird. I looked around wildly for something to hide my nakedness, grabbing the shirt at the top of my open suitcase and attempting to cover as much of myself as possible.

misguidedly blamed him for things a child should never be blamed for. They treated him wretchedly—

“Grayson tried so hard. All his life, he… Well, it didn’t matter. Nothing he did was deemed good enough.”

my bride

She’d whipped me!

Kira’s men was probably more accurate.

“please abstain from daring my wife to pull dangerous stunts on moving equipment.”

She blinked up at me with those gorgeous eyes, suddenly looking uncertain and very young.

“I realize you’re more of a cold indifference kind of guy, but surely you can do better than that. You look like a demented hyena.”

Lol

“Oh no, Kira, you’re burning up, sweetheart.”

Wife?”

I think hes really starting to like calling her wife!

Charlotte, who must have returned while I was upstairs showering, was on his heels. “It was meant to be helpful,” she called after him. He turned around, the lines of his body tense, his eyes shooting fire at Charlotte. “I almost molested her. When she was feverish and unconscious,” he ground out. “Oh dear,” Charlotte said. She looked up, placing one finger on her chin. “Was it meant to be halved not doubled?” She took her finger down. “Yes, that must have been the problem.”

Lol i thought she might have slipped something in the OJ!! Lol

“She poisoned me,” Grayson growled, pointing a finger at Charlotte. Charlotte laughed merrily. “I didn’t poison him. It’s a simple herbal concoction my mother taught me, meant to increase male ardor.”

Grayson let out a pained sound, looking up at the ceiling. “I’m in hell.”

wife

Happy feminine laughter followed me up the stairs, a sound I suddenly realized I’d never heard so often in this house…before Kira had come along.

my wife

were husband and wife on paper only, but she had shown me undeserved kindness.

“You may be her father,” he said quietly, his voice deadly calm, “but you will never lay a hand on my wife again. Am I clear?”

If I needed to, how would I even fight for my woman now? My woman.

“Kira,” I whispered, “relax. Let me hold you, sweetheart.”

“It’s okay,” I said. “I’m here. I’ve got you.”

“There’s my girl,” I said.

wife

She was mine.

I had a wife to look for and some errands to do.

I love my wife.

Finally, he reached for my hand, squeezing it tightly in his as he choked out, “Like…my…own son.”

For a moment, Walter didn’t say anything. When he finally spoke, his voice was quiet but steady. “When I was lying at the bottom of the stairs, you know what I kept thinking?” I shook my head. “I kept thinking, please don’t let me leave this world without telling that boy how I feel about him.”

And maybe, while I was working, something would come to me regarding a way to win my wife back.
