      About The Author

      CHAPTER 1

      It had been an uneasy night for me because I was wondering whether to help Edmond Fairchild with his family issues. Things had been happening so fast the past two days, it almost felt as if I was in some sort of dream or something. One minute we were attending my best friend, Sue's, wedding, where I was the bridesmaid and walking down the aisle with one of the men that I hated the most in my life, Edmond Fairchild, who happened to be the best man and Christian's best friend. The next minute I was as drunk as hell during the reception party and making the biggest mistake of my life, forcing Edmond, or Eddie, as he was popularly known, to fly me to Vegas, which he did, since he was the asshole I had always thought him to be. On getting back to New York, I found that my apartment had been robbed and as it is, Eddie had offered me a place to stay. He also had a request, which was what had been going through my mind for most of the night, he wanted me to pretend to be his happily married wife, until the annulment came through. I had promised him an answer in the morning. I was awakened by my cell phone buzzing on the bedside stool. I reached for it lazily and hit the pick key as I brought it up to my ear.

      Hello?

      Hi honey, it is your mother.

      Mommy, how are you? I asked, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes and struggling to become more alert.

      I'm fine honey, it is you that I should be asking that question, because I thought that you and I had no secrets kept from each other, mom said.

      Mom, I don’t get it, what are you talking about? I asked, trying to figure out what she was talking about.

      I just discovered from a lifestyle magazine that my only child got hitched and I had no idea, unless they were talking about another Amanda Taylor that is, she said, bringing me back to the present.

      Yes mommy… what the hell was I supposed to tell her when I was in the situation in which I was with Edmond? How could I lie to my mother, she was not just anyone? If I was to go along with Eddie and keep everyone in the darkness, that would mean keeping the truth from my mother until after the annulment of our marriage.

      Mommy, I'm sorry that it all happened so quickly, I had meant to give you a surprise, I replied quickly.

      I'm really happy for you Amanda, I have always prayed that you would meet that special person to share the rest of your life with. So, when do I get to meet this prince charming that blew you off your feet? mom sounded honestly very happy for me, a pity because she did not know the whole truth.

      Right now we are still trying to get settled in, mommy, but I promise that we will come and visit you as soon as we get the chance, I said, contemplating the hole that I was getting myself into.

      Excellent, I have really missed you, and I look forward to seeing you both, honey.

      I have missed you to, honey. Listen mom, we will talk later, right now I really have to run.

      Do what you have to do, honey, I love you, take care of yourself.

      I love you too, mommy.

      I swung my legs over the side of the bed and sat there with my face covered in my hands. My head was aching and I hoped that the pounding would go away. How comes it was aching anyway, since I did not feel as if I had a hangover anymore? From my conversation with my mom, it looked like my mind had decided to go along with Eddie and act as if we were a happily married couple, although I still wasn’t sure if it was the right thing to do. I pulled on the pair of shorts and the T shirt that Eddie had given me and sat on the edge of the bed with my face buried in my palms.

      Good morning, sunshine, was that your mother on the phone, Eddie said, startling me out of my thoughts.

      Eddie, don’t tell me that you are now eavesdropping on my phone calls?

      I could never do that, I just happened to be passing by your bedroom door when I heard you talking on the phone.

      Bla, bla, bla, whatever, Eddie!

      "Anyway, I just wanted to let you know
