Chapter 16

In his head, Lucas was clapping like crazy. As the saying goes, women can be fierce—and the one Alexander married? She's straight-up untouchable. That woman's got teeth. "Is it Ethan?" Alexander's brow twitched, his gaze dark and full of menace. "Those five days you were away—did you hook up with another man?" Either she had a complete personality shift, or someone was backing her up hard. Otherwise, there's no way she'd act this fearless and out-of-line over and over. Even though Ethan never struck him as the type to protect her, Alexander couldn't hold back the rage, and his mouth ran faster than his brain. "Another man?" Samantha suddenly laughed out loud. "Even you aren't really my man, Alexander. Don't forget—we're just pretending!" "As long as you're Mrs. Alexander in name, you'd better know your limits in this house. If you even think about going after another guy—" He cut in, voice harsh from anger. Samantha's face stayed remarkably poised, smooth as porcelain under the light.
