My shock is fading, drowned out by disbelief.I can’t believe this is happening.“There’s been a mistake.I haven’t changed my last name.”
The sergeant frowns at the computer.“Our system says otherwise.”
I stare at the badge.Inara Roy.
I don’t need a detective badge to solve this mystery.There’s only one man who has the power and influence to do something like this: Rex fucking Roy.
You belong to me.
Are all billionaires like dogs needing to pee on their territory and advertise their ownership in any way they can?Or just the one billionaire who’s obsessed with me?
Either way, I’m going to kill him.
“Your system is wrong,” I grind out.
The sergeant doesn’t seem to know what to say.
I sigh.“How do I fix it?”
“Name changes are processed at City Hall.You might go talk to them.”
“Great.I’ll get right on that.”I don’t have time for this, but I need to push back.
And I have to go down to City Hall anyway to look up old records anyway.
New badge in my pocket, I head outside, texting as I go.
Me: Wtf
Me: You changed my name.
Sir: Good morning, Mrs.Roy.
Unbelievable.I ignore the way my heart feels a little thrill, knowing he’s publicly claimed me.
Me: Marking your territory?
Sir: Now everyone will know you belong to me
Gah!I knew it.I add a few angry emojis to my next message.
Me: everyone will think we’re married
Sir: Exactly.
Is he serious?
Me: I’m changing it back.enjoy it while it lasts
Sir: I will
I can feelhis smugness radiating from my phone.
I text him:
I thought you were going to back off
Sir: Never
