going on with the power, but my voice doesn’t echo around the room either. I finally turn around to look at the guys. They’re all looking at me with a smile. Van nods toward the side of the stage, where Daniel’s emerging.
“What are you doing?” I ask with a wide smile on my face.
He drops down to one knee and pulls a small black box out of his pocket. The crowd gasps.
He has a mic in his hand and he raises it to his lips. “Luna, I know we’ve been planning our future with a bunch of “what ifs,” but I got to thinking, Why wait? Why wait to get married when we both want it so badly right now? So during your sound check, I snuck out and found a jewelry store. There’s no more talk of the future. There’s only right now. I love you with every fiber of my being. Will you waste your life with me?” He opens the box and shows me the ring.
Tears fill my eyes and fall over the rims. I look at the crowd and they’re all chanting “YES, YES, YES!”
I cover my mouth and nod my head. I take his mic and say, “YES! Yes, I’ll marry you!”
He slips the ring on my finger and stands up, pulling me against him and pressing his lips against mine. He kisses me like there aren’t thousands of people watching us. With this kiss, I can feel every ounce of love he has for me, and I know that no matter where life takes us, we’ll be together.
He pulls back with a wide smile, which I return. “There’s no one else I’d rather waste my life with than you,” I say, repeating his words back to him.
“Good, because we have a lot of years to waste together. I love you, Luna. More than I could ever express.”
“I love you too, Daniel.”
The crowd before us goes wild with cheers and he pulls me back in one last time.
Breaking up with My Boss SNEAK PEEK
Okay, so taking a golf club to my boss’s precious sports car was probably an overreaction—but damn did it feel good.
However, him showing up to my house to blackmail me into marrying him AFTER he fired me?
WAY out of line.
* * *
If there’s one person that can make me hate my very existence,
It’s Matthew Lewis III, my boss from hell.
Imagine the devil’s younger, sexy brother in a three piece suit.
* * *
He’s the kind of man that makes any sort of rational thought go right out the window—which is exactly where I want to throw him.
* * *
So the morning he tsk tsk’d me for the third time that week for being TWO minutes late,
I lost my shit.
I not only gave him a piece of my mind, I ripped his prissy ass to shreds and marched out with my middle fingers in the air.
Oh, and of course…I destroyed his car.
* * *
So I either face a felony or pretend for a few short months that I love him.
I deserve an f-ing Oscar for this performance.
But after meeting his grandma, I find out Matthew has one giant secret he doesn’t want me to know.
* * *
Game on.
Chapter 1
Poppy
My alarm clock goes off at six on the dot, but I smack the snooze button like I usually do. I’m not much of a morning person. In fact, I loathe mornings and everything that goes with them: breakfast, coffee, newspapers, and overly cheery morning people. The thought of any of it makes me want to gag and puke up the dinner I ate only four hours ago.
As I drift in and out of sleep, I think about what my day will bring. Nothing good, I’m sure. I’ll rush to get ready, probably getting to work late to get bitched out by my boss who I hate almost as much as I hate mornings.
Matthew Lewis the third. He’s the devil himself. He’s good looking, cocky, arrogant, and rich as hell. With a name like that, of course he is. Honestly, I have no idea why he’s even working as a lawyer at the firm. He told Daniel it had more to do with an honest day’s work, being fulfilled, and getting out from under his overbearing father’s thumb. I, personally, think it’s all a crock of shit. I just know the devil put him here to torture me any way he could. Why would I be on the devil’s radar you ask, I have no idea
