"Exactly."
I was expendable. Dante was not.
"Well, it turns out that this guy I am supposed to be marrying is a hot mess. His face is all over the news on a pretty regular basis."
"Oh, that's not good."
"Which is why I think I am being set up. Why would my grandfather promise me Brooklyn if I agreed to stay married to this guy when he is a media nightmare unless he wants me to fail?"
"Fuck, man." Hugo shoved his hand through his dark hair. "What are you going to do?"
"I'm not sure yet, which is why I set up a meeting with a few of my frat brothers from back in the day. I'm hoping they might have a plan to help me from losing my head."
I knew if anyone could figure out a plan, they could. They were some of the smartest people I knew.
"Are you really going to marry this guy?"
I nodded. "I will if it gets me out of Colombia and gives me Brooklyn. I just have to figure out what to do after we're married. I don't need the media snooping in my business."
"Just who is this guy anyway?"
"Ever hear of Delancy Matisse?"
Hugo's eyes went saucer wide. "No!"
I couldn't help but chuckle at the horror paling his face. "Yes."
"Mierda."
Yeah, pretty much.
I wagged my eyebrows at my best friend. "Aren't you glad you came with me?"
"I was," Hugo said slowly. "Now, I'm not so sure."
I chuckled even if the situation wasn't funny. It just kind of felt funny to me. My life was on the line here and I was walking through a minefield. One wrong step and I was done for.
"What are you going to do?" Hugo asked. "That guy is a menace to society."
"Marry him."
"Alejandro—"
"Look, at this point I don't have any other choice. If I don't marry this guy, my grandfather is going to send someone to take me out. If I don't stay married to him, he's going to send someone to take me out. I have no other choice but to marry this guy and stay married to him even if he is a media nightmare."
Hugo huffed as he settled back in his seat. "Maybe there is some way to curtail his activities and keep him out of the news."
That was kind of what I had been thinking.
"Martinez is supposed to be picking us up from the airport and then tomorrow morning I have a meeting with a lawyer to sign a prenup and get a report on Delancy. After that I am supposed to be having lunch with Jake and the guys. I'm sure if we all put our heads together, we can think of something to keep me breathing."
They had never let me down before.

This was insane.
