Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance

Molly asked, "Are you smart?"

Aimee grinned, "Not really, but I'm scrappy."

Mia jumped in, "Hey, Princess, say you want to do something, but Patrick says no. How do you get your way?"

Aimee shrugged, "Why would I need to convince him?"

Mia looked baffled. "Huh?"

Aimee smirked, "Just don't tell him. Do what you want. Why worry about his opinion?"

Mia chuckled, "And if he tries to punish you?"

Aimee laughed, "Before we got married? I'd toss him out on the street. After marriage? I'd go find myself a boy toy."

Mia just shook her head. "Respect."

Anya waved her hand, eager to join in. "Wait, I've got a question too!"

Since they'd only met Aimee a couple of times, everyone already saw her as the queen bee. Anya asked, "What if your husband gets jealous of your teddy bears? What then?"

Aimee snorted, "That's out of my league-I've never been into bears."

Molly immediately caught on. "Anya, let me teach you a trick. If Leo ever gets jealous of your bears, just dump a bucket of water on his laptop."

Anya's eyes went wide. "But what if Chad tries to get back at me?"noveldrama

Mia chimed in, "Then you get even. Cover Leo's whole car inside and out in pink wrap. Every time he drives, he'll regret it."

Anya giggled, "Thanks, aunties!"

Aimee gave them a thumbs up. "You two are geniuses. I might steal that idea someday."

Aimee turned to Annie. "Officer Chapman, got any marriage problems you need help with?"

Annie shook her head. "Nope. As for Conner, I've got him wrapped around my finger."

"Oh, Mr. Nettleton is your husband?" Aimee was surprised. "Small world."

Annie blinked. "You know him?"

"My family does business with the Nettletons. But all your men ignore me as CEO and go straight to my VP."

Annie looked even more shocked. "Conner works with your family?"

Aimee nodded. "Yup. Didn't you know? He's changing careers. Says his wife is special and he wants to do something meaningful. Turns out, you're the wife."

Annie was floored. No wonder she hadn't seen much of Conner lately. Every time she called, he was busy with renovations, reading, promising he wouldn't let her down... She was really planning a career change?

"He... he... What else does he know? Other than fighting, grabbing turf being shameless, and running his mouth, he's clueless." Annie complained, but worry crept into her voice.

Aimee teased, “So he's not good at much, but is he at least easy on the eyes? Otherwise, why would the prettiest cop in town pick him?"

Annie swallowed, then reluctantly muttered, "He's... a little handsome. Maybe."

Jade piped up, "My godbrother is super handsome, okay? Like, rugged handsome."

Anya nodded, "Uncle Conner is definitely good-looking."

Aimee's words stuck with Annie. Conner was changing his whole life for her. But could he really pull it off? He had no business-savvy people around him. Would the underworld give him a hard time? Did he even know how to protect himself? Those worries now swirled in Annie's mind.
