JESSICA'S POV.My mood had shifted for some reason. I was suddenly more positive than I'd been the night before, after I'd taken a shower. As I got dressed, I made a decision to dress up a little more than usual. I wanted to look good, even if it was just for myself. I put on a bright yellow sundress and a pair of sandals, and took a little extra time to style my hair. Gianna had inspired me to try harder on my appearance and after the way I saw the way I looked on my wedding day, there was no way I was going back to how I used to look. I was going to take a it step by step. When Daniel walked into the room from the bathroom, he did a double-take. "Wow, you look amazing," he said, a hint of surprise in his voice. I did my best to not stare at the wet t-shirt stretched across his shoulders or the short shorts he was wearing. At least he was wearing a t-shirt. I didn't know how I'd have felt if he came out shirtless. "Thanks," I said, feeling a little self-conscious. "I just felt l

JESSICA'S POV.Stepping off the plane, the warm tropical air enveloped me, tinged with a hint of salty ocean breeze. The excitement buzzed in my chest as we made our way through the bustling terminal, hand-in-hand. I'd suppose Daniel was holding me just incase anyone knew us here like he's said. His dad had connections here. As we walked towards the car rental area, Daniel turned to me with a mischievous grin. "Ready for some fun in Hawaii, Mrs Snider."Mrs Snider. That was my name now? I hadn't even thought of it that, that was going to be what people will refer me to. I decided to play along just for fun. "Absolutely, Mr. Snider. Let's make this honeymoon unforgettable.""Okay wife," Daniel chuckled and the sound made my chest tighten. His laugh was amazing and contagious. Wait, did I just compliment his laugh?That was it. I'd gone mad. Daniel picked up our rental car, a sleek convertible that looked like it cost a fortune and I got in feeling overwhelmed at all the luxury I'd b

DANIEL'S POV. I sat alone at the mini bar, my eyes fixed on the distant horizon where the waves crashed against the sandy shore. The sun had begun its descent, casting a warm golden glow over the beach house that Jessica and I had been staying for three days—in for our honeymoon. But my mind was preoccupied, my thoughts consumed by Jessica and all they things she'd been making me feel. I couldn't understand how easily she'd gone from being O attractive, to being the object of all my desires. I knew I was being cheesy, but that was just the truth. There wasn't a day that passed that I didn't think of her. And now the thought that was plaguing me was the guy we had met at the cafe before embarking on this trip, Alex. I'd overhead her talking to him on the phone, and from what she was saying, he had touched down Hawaii yesterday and wanted to see her. I knew it wasn't my business, but I defended my jealousy with the fact that we were supposed to act like a real couple throughout this va

JESSICA'S POV.Things were going well.Really well for now. I mean, I'd made friends asides Julia and Daniel and I had come to an understanding. We weren't bickering or wanting to chop each other's heads off, instead we were kind of in my opinion in the flirting phase. I knew the reasonable thing to do was not to interpret Daniel's friendliness as flirting, but I couldn't help how my heart felt. How was I supposed to believe that his eyes lingering on mine longer than he used to, and how I caught him smiling at me more times than I could count recently—was just him being friendly and not flirty? So, in essence what I'm saying is what more could I've asked for? Things were going great. All we needed to do for this agreement to work was to keep up this friendly or flirty energy without it ever growing into anything else. Any other thing would've make this marriage unbearable. From what I'd experienced so far with this—we were better off as friends than enemies. I got out of bed with a

DANIEL'S POV.Jessica had really gotten on my nerves. I walked away from the party to the balcony with my blood boiling. Just a few minutes of going to get a drink with Alex and she'd already found a random asshole to dance with, even when I'd specially warned her not to do that. And then what did she make me look like in front of everyone? A jealous asshole husband who couldn't put a leash on his wife and stormed away like a jerk.Shit. That made me angry, but you know what made me more angry? It was seeing Jessica in that asshole's hands as they laughed and danced together. It wasn't even like she was really mine or anything, but I felt mad with fury anyways. I really wished it was just my stupid male ego acting up and not anything else, because at this point my feelings confused the hell out of me. I was suddenly transported back to the scene where I stood at the edge of the crowded room, my heart pounding with a mix of anger and jealousy as I watched Jessica dancing with that guy
