I was thoroughly jet lagged when we landed in the Maldives.
Jace held my hand as we came down the stairs that led out of the jet.
Imagine my shock seeing Ariel there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"I flew two days ahead. Mr Romano has asked for impeccable pictures from you."
I turned to him before facing her again. "From me?"
She grinned. "Well yes. You're the luxurious wife of a billionaire who enjoys quiet luxuries."
"I thought we were done with that?" I asked him.
"We do it on my terms." Came his clipped response.
I swallowed my response. I was too tired to fight him and I could not even do it in public.
"You could have at least told me about this so I wouldn't look crazy while coming out of the plane."
"It makes you more human," Ariel said with a nervous smile, trying her best to reassure me.
I sighed. I was too exhausted to say anything else.
