GEORGIA'S POV
I scrambled to get ready as fast as possible. My morning coffee with Nikolaj had made me late, and Katsha and I had a high-stakes board meeting to manage.

How was I supposed to get back at a man with that much power and family backing? The thought that he was on the path to becoming an Alpha made me feel physically ill. My only hope was that he wouldn't marry anyone during my three-year "sentence" with him; that would make my life truly hellish.
