Billionaire Crave: A Billionaire Romance

by Lauren Wood

  “Well say something, Candy.”

  Jax was pissed off and I could hear it in his voice and see it on his face. He most likely could see that I was starting to question everything, and I wasn't denying it anymore.

  “I am not saying that I did get married, I don’t remember it if I did. But I was in Las Vegas about this time. It is a possibility.”

  He cursed a little louder and I could hear a gasp going out through the room. I was so embarrassed, and I couldn't even look over towards my family’s side. I knew that they were going to think that I was a fuck-up, like always. What was I supposed to say now?

  “Jax, if this is real, which I don't even know if it is, we can take care of this. I don't even know who this guy is and if I somehow got drunk and signed a piece of paper, that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean that we can't be together, and it certainly doesn't mean that I love this man or anything like that.”

  “It doesn't matter if you love him. It matters that you are married, and we can't get married today. All of these people are here and what are we supposed to tell them?”

  He wasn't talking so loud now, and his voice was almost a whisper. I knew more than anything that he was embarrassed like I was, but he didn't take it as well. His family was well to do, and they had a reputation to uphold. I don't think that they wanted me and him to get married in the first place and now it was just reason for them to hate me more. My perfect day was turning into anything but perfect.

  “I don't know what to say Jax. Do you want me to say something to these people?”

  He looked out at the crowd and I could tell that he was debating it in his mind. I think a lot of it had to do with how he wanted to move forward with me. If we were still going to be together, the last thing he wanted to do was make it harder. But if he was going to walk away, it wouldn't matter what anybody else thought.

  “I don't know what to do.”

  He looked over at the old man and told him that he had done what he came there to do, and he could go sit down.

  “In fact, why don't you go ahead and just get out of here? I think you have done enough for the day. Tell my lawyer that I will be talking to her soon. She could have found a better way to do this.”

  The lawyer’s assistant was stuttering a little bit and I could tell that he was upset. He was of course, just the messenger and it wasn't his fault.

  “She was just trying to make sure that you didn't break the law. That is her job above anything else is to protect your family Jax.”

  Jax waved him off and told him to go. I knew that he was trying to hold in his temper, but it couldn’t be easy for him. While everybody thought Jax was easygoing, he really wasn't. he was quick to get upset, but he was good at hiding it. I could tell that he was seething inside. I hated that it was my fault that he felt this way.

  This was all my fault and even though I didn't remember marrying anyone in Vegas, I wouldn't put it past me. I was in a weird place back then and I was drinking a lot. There is no telling what happened. The old adage that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, is obviously not the way it worked for me. What happened in Vegas, did not stay in Vegas for me and now I was going to have to pay for the consequences, whatever they were going to be.
