“Yes, sir. I will personally call her right this moment. I’m glad we were able to get this taken care of.”

I nodded and blew out a breath. “So am I, or I would have had one very upset bride-to-be.”

After ending the call, I pulled up Robert’s number. I didn’t want to bother Mr. Elliot with this kind of bullshit, so I had been keeping his son Robert in the loop. After I got the picture of Lola and me, then another picture of me with my arm around Stephanie at a benefit dinner that my sister Ashley had taken, I knew something wasn’t right. I immediately told Adaline what was happening and she agreed that it all seemed a little fishy. Now with this happening, all signs were pointing to Stephanie. She had access to everything of mine at one time.

Fucking bitch.

“Emmit? Is everything okay?” Adaline asked as she made her way over to me. I quickly decided she didn’t need to know what Stephanie had done. I caught it in time and fixed it. No need to add any stress on my beautiful bride.

Forcing a smile, I nodded and pulled her into my arms. With a quick kiss to the top of her head, I said, “Everything is perfect, baby. I needed to have Robert take care of something for me.”

Adaline pulled back and looked into my eyes. “Are you sure?”

I slipped my hand behind her neck and pulled her lips to mine. Kissing her with as much love and passion as I could, Adaline moaned into my mouth. If my mother and sister hadn’t been in the house I would have taken Adaline right here by the pool.

When my lips broke contact with hers, Adaline giggled. “Wow. It doesn’t feel so chilly outside now.”

“That’s just a little taste of what I’m going to do to you after my mother and sister leave.”

Adaline’s eyes lit up and then her lower lip jetted out into a pout. “I think they’re going to be here for a while. We have a lot to take care of for the reception.”

My body filled with warmth as I gazed into the eyes of the woman I loved more than life itself. Lifting my hand, I ran my thumb across her lower lip. “I love you, Addie.”

With her hands placed on my chest, Adaline tilted her head and looked at me like she knew I was bothered by something. My phone rang with my new assistant Todd’s ring tone. I had already had him change numbers from Stephanie’s old number. It was a pain for people to contact me, but I didn’t care.

Adaline pointed to me and said, “I’m not finished with you Mr. Lewis. We are talking later.”

With a quick chuckle, I nodded and said, “Yes, ma’am.”

Adaline took two steps away from me and then turned and headed back into the house as I swiped my phone to answer it.

“Todd, what’s up?”

Todd cleared his throat and said, “We have a slight problem, Emmit.”

I dragged in a deep breath and braced myself for something else. “Hit me with it.”

“I got a call from Robert just now. I decided to go ahead and pull up your credit card online, I had a gut feeling if Stephanie had your card number for a cancelation, she might try something else.”

My hand pushed through my hair as I dropped down onto a chair and stared out over the lake.

“Fucking hell. What has she done now?”

There was a slight pause before Todd started talking again. “It appears your new credit cards we had issued after Stephanie was fired, have all been closed.”

“Why in the hell would she close my accounts?”

“Why would she call and cancel your villa, sir?”

I let out a sharp breath of air as I said, “Point taken. How did she get the new numbers?”

“I’m not sure sir. It was only two cards, not all of them which is kind of strange.”

I nodded my head as I thought for a moment.

“Todd, we need to go ahead and have all the cards changed out again and no one gets access to them. Let’s also go ahead and do the restraining orders like the lawyer suggested. I didn’t want to do it, but I think we need to.”

“Got it. I’ll have the new cards to you within twenty-four hours.” Sounds of rustling paper followed a brief silence. “I’ll get it done ASAP.”

Closing my eyes, I nodded and said, “I owe you.”

“Just doing my job.”

After talking about a few more details, I hit End and stared out over the lake. I was not about to let our wedding get ruined by some nutcase.

Knowing what I had to do, I got up and headed to my office.

Stephanie was going to wish she’d never heard of me.

Two Weeks Later

THE LIMO PULLED UP AND stopped outside of Laluna as a sinking feeling hit my chest.

Oh, my gosh. In four days I would be Emmit’s wife.

The door opened as Emmit extended his hand out to me. I placed my hand in his and let him guide me out of the limo and into the hotel.

“Mr. Lewis, welcome to Laluna! We have your beach cottage and your villa ready and waiting for you and your guests. I’m sure your parents and siblings will enjoy their stay in the villa very much.” Emmit and I had the beach cottage that was more secluded while everyone else was in the five bedroom villa.

“This is beyond beautiful!” Ashley said as she snapped pictures and posted them on her Instagram. Emmit rolled his eyes and pulled me closer to him as we finished the process of checking in.

“Ms. Morgan, the wedding planner would like to meet with you to go over a few last minute details if you are free later this evening. Perhaps before you all go to dinner?”

I nodded to the hotel clerk as I smiled, “Of course. Yes, that shouldn’t be a problem at all.”

After telling everyone about the property features, Ashley, Candace and my mother all decided they needed to find their zen and headed to the spa. I on the other hand had no intentions of leaving Emmit’s side. It was the first time we were alone in a week. I was taking full advantage of it.

I turned to Emmit and was about to say something when my father walked up. “All right son, get those clubs out because we are teeing off in an hour.”

My mouth dropped open as I turned and looked at Emmit. “You’re going to go play golf?”

With a shrug of his shoulder, he glanced back to my father and said, “Let me get us settled in and I’ll meet you back here in the lobby in forty minutes.”

My father gave Emmit a slap on the back and started following everyone else up to their villa. Emmit took my hand as we made our way to what would be our home for the next fourteen days.

“Golf? You’re going to go play golf?”

Emmit laughed and shook his head. “What was I supposed to do? Your father asked me four days ago about playing golf. They are only here for five days baby, I thought you’d want me spending time with your dad as father and son-in-law and all that shit.”

My shoulders sank when I knew what he was saying was right. “It’s just, well we haven’t had a moment alone in the last week and I’m starting to get needy.”

The young bellhop walked through the fabric that was hanging down in the doorway and into an amazing cottage. It was huge and full of color.

“Oh my goodness, it’s beautiful,” I said as I walked up to the giant king size bed. My fingers moved along the soft Italian fabric as I took everything in. Emmit had been talking to the bellhop as I got lost in our home away from home.

I made my way over to the shower area and gasped when I saw the views of the Caribbean Sea through the partially open stall.

Arms wrapped around my waist as a smile spread deeper across my face. “Do you like it?”

My head dropped back onto Emmit’s chest as I giggled. “Like it? I love it! It’s so romantic.”

Emmit’s hands moved up and cupped my breasts as I let out a moan. “I’m going to make love to you, Addie.”

Closing my eyes, I melted into Emmit’s body. “You have golf,” I whispered as Emmit turned my body to face his.

His smile caused my body to light up instantly. There wasn’t anything I wouldn’t do for this man. “How about I relax you some so you can go enjoy the other ladies in the spa.”
