We walked out to the shade of a tree, and | immediately shook his fingers off my arm. “Con, spill. How much
did you hit up Jared for this time?”
“Not much, really, just a little bit,” Aiden mumbled, noticing my expression darken. “Victoria, please don’t be
mad, okay?
“I brought my girlfriend here for a date, and | didn’t want to bother you. Aren't you supposed to take care of
Yvonne?”
| looked at him, knowing he was still pretty innocent. He was a college student with a girlfriend, and of course, he
wanted to show her off. | could understand that.
But even so, it stung a little that he didn’t think to contactfirst when he cto Hachester.
Jared really had a knack for getting on everyone's good side. My whole family respected him. He was polite,
spent freely, and everyone adored him.
“Victoria, the hotel Jared set us up in is like a hidden paradise. Seriously, it’s gorgeous. Rich people really know
how to enjoy life,” Aiden said, looking totally enchanted.
| had a lot of mixed feelings. Aiden was my brother, and he had always been a decent guy. My parents told him
to go back to our hometown for work, but instead, he landed a job in Hachester.
After a few years, he quit, claiming the pay was too low to live the life he wanted, then jumped into a small start-
up with sfriends.

though, success had gone to his head. Wine, women, power, and cash were given to a man, and pride followed.
I had no clue how his life would turn out in this lifetime.
But seeing him now, in his early twenties, so full of life and swagger, | couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Without thinking, | reached out and hugged him. Aiden looked totally baffled, and the next second, his face
turned red as he pushedaway. “Victoria, seriously, I'm a grown man now. Don’t hugin front of my
girlfriend.”
| grabbed his ear instead, and he immediately put on a pitiful face. “I'm sorry, really. Victoria, next t| cto
Hachester, you'll be the very first person | call, | swear. | won't break my word.”
“Yeah, right,” | said, laughing despite myself. | let go of his ear and sighed. “It’s fine. Go on inside. I'll wait here
for Jared.”
Aiden happily ran back into the private room.
Not far away, a silver Bentley rolled up, turning heads in the sunlight.
Jared got out, dressed in a white T-shirt and gray pants, looking casual and at ease.
“What are you doing out here? Waiting for me?” Jared said, his good looks softened by that easy, charming
smile.
Just then, a breeze drifted by, carrying the moist scent of the lake. My long hair danced lightly around my waist
in the wind.
| tucked my hair behind my ear and said, “Thanks for arranging a place for Aiden to stay, and for taking care of
him.”
Jared paused for a second, then gave a faint smile. “I'm your husband. This is nothing. You really don’t have to
thank me.”
“It’s not a small thing,” | said. “I know | once said you'd only get a 60 out of 100 as a husband, but as a family
member, you'd

Jared raised an eyebrow. “Really?”
I nodded.
Jared seemed to perk up all of a
sudden, reaching out to entwine his
fingers with mine. "eg were) m

Jared shook his head. “You passed, but don’t get cocky. You're not top of the class.”
| immediately shook his hand off.

Jared stared at me, baffled, and the mood he'd worked so hard to build just evaporated.
“Victoria, just eat your lunch and try not to cause a scene today, okay?” Jared teased.
| sped up, but Jared easily caught up.
