Aaron briefly explained the predicament he found himself in because of his father and the Knightons. "Any ideas would be helpful at this point. I've got nothing." Jennica thought about it a moment. "If it's someone who doesn't exist…say you've been doing things long distance and you didn't want to tell anyone in case it didn't work out but that you couldn't hold back your love when you saw her again and that's why you proposed in public." "Alistair might fall for it," Cameron mused. "Just act as…

Aaron sighed and leaned his head on the back of the couch. Keeley had sounded so confident in his love for her that day even though he never said it. When exactly did that confidence fade? He couldn't pinpoint the exact time she stopped believing in him. Even before he had started ignoring her to throw the servants off their scent they hadn't been as close as they used to be. It probably started when they moved back to New York to get married and he stopped taking her opinions into consideration.…

Even though he had talked to the light of his life on the phone, Aaron didn't feel any better. It was obvious she had been crying and he knew it was because of him. So she hated weddings now, did she? Well, she had hated being married and he had no one to blame. His father and Lacy's schemes had their role to play but ultimately she was miserable because of how he had treated her. Aaron hadn't cared about what she wanted—he hadn't even asked. Keeley always seemed so surprised when he noticed or…

Aaron once claimed that he noticed everything about Keeley and had the evidence to back it up with some really random observations. It must have been how he figured out what her dream was without her ever telling him. Still, she wanted confirmation. "How did you know?" "Cystic fibrosis is an oddly specific thing to study. I remembered learning about it in biology class, how it caused breathing problems. There's a picture of a little blonde boy that looks kind of like you in your dad's house wearing a…

During the couple's first dance, Keeley decided to utilize the free Wi-Fi at the venue and scroll through Facebook. One of the first things that popped up was one of those annoying suggested tabloid ads. She didn't even follow any gossip pages! She was about to keep scrolling past until she saw the headline 'Aaron Hale Proposes at Lacy Knighton's Party In Front of Everyone' and did a double take. Not wanting to read more, she shut her phone off immediately and stuffed it back in her clutch. So he had…

Aaron didn't know how to answer all of Aiden's questions. Of course he would be curious after everything that just went down but there was no way he would believe his boss had been reincarnated and was getting revenge for grievances in a different life. All he knew is that it was going to be a nightmare explaining this to everyone, especially his parents. His mother would want to go shopping with his fiancée immediately. Aaron couldn't let that happen. Sending Aiden to Sweden on the next available…

Aiden was still having his way with the various hors d'oeuvres when the announcement was made by Brann Knighton. "Thank you everyone for coming to celebrate my beautiful daughter's 25th birthday. We have something special to announce tonight in just a few moments if Lacy could make her way to the stage." "It's time," Aaron said grimly before dragging Aiden away from the food and standing him up right in the middle of the crowd. He didn't even have time to finish his glass of water. The saltiness…

As they pulled into the venue, Aaron went over the information on the fake identity he created for his 'girlfriend' one more time. Her name was Bethany Carlisle and she was from a prominent Harvard family in Boston. They met while going to school but lost contact for a while when she did a study abroad program in London for a year. They met up again there when Aaron was on a business trip and decided to get back together. One of his business contacts in Boston actually did have a daughter named…

Aaron's suspicions that Lacy was planning to announce their 'engagement' at her birthday party increased when Keeley texted him to lay off because he had a fiancée. He had no idea how the news had reached her ears of all people but it strengthened his resolve to put a stop to it. Aiden was going to hate it but he modified his plan to include a diamond ring and a fake proposal. It was the only thing that would get that delusional idiot off his back permanently. How dare they think they could try and…

Everyone was riding the high after the pole dancing class and was acting giggly and tipsy without even consuming any alcohol yet. They all headed back to their homes/hotel rooms to shower and change into the matching 'bachelorette party' pajama sets that Lydia's maid of honor got for cheap in bulk before the next part of the night began. The pajamas were pink button-up short sleeved tops and shorts patterned with lemons and little white flowers. In addition to the pajamas, each bachelorette was given a…
