When There Is Nothing Left But Love

“I trust Ashton completely.” I shrugged. “If he does fall in love with Rachel, it’s his choice. If he does not and turns her down without even giving her an opportunity, doesn’t that show that it was worth all of the trouble I had gone through to make him my husband?”

“That’s true…” Linda nodded.

Rachel continued to glare at me fiercely. “Scarlett, you’re too confident with yourself. After the honeymoon phase, we’ll see if you still feel the same.”

She did have a point. “Like I said, fair game amongst rivals.”
