Ryan's POV
Mark did not like Gwendolyn Stuart the fourth. That much Ryan knew. To be honest, he could not stand the woman either.
The only reason that he was considering marrying her was because of his grandfather's failing health. Were it not for that, Gwendolyn would not even be in the running. But he had to say even with all of the dislike that he had for the woman, clearly Mark hated her a whole lot more than his friend had ever let on.
Ryan had never seen him look so disgusted at just the mention of somebody's name. He wanted to meet his friend's look of revulsion with a matching one of his own. But Ryan knew better. Once he asked her to marry him,
Gwendolyn would become a part of his life.
He had to make Mark see how her being Mrs Terrell would be a good thing. If he failed at that, he might just lose his best friend and Ryan had no idea if he could survive such a blow.
"Mark, I have to marry her. She is the woman that my grandfather thinks is best for me,"
