Chapter 96 The Alpha Heir Ceremony

• A few weeks later, I'm at the villa, poring over paint samples. Jeanette has been very generous in helping me with ideas for a massive makeover for the villa, and I'm excited to make the place really my own.
• Well, mine and Marcus's, of course. He comes home in the evenings from his business duties at the hotel to have a glass of wine with me and talk over options. We've discussed decorators, but for now, I think I'd like to handle most of the decisions myself.
• "You surely don't expect to paint the place yourself," Jeanette had said in horror when I told her this, as if I'd suggested I was going to take up skydiving without a parachute in my spare time.
