"You cannot bring another woman into this house while I'm here!" Katie's voice rose, filled with anger. "We had an agreement, and I expect you to make this whole charade look convincing!"

Aiden wanted her to play the role of a devoted wife, yet he acted as though he were still a carefree bachelor, free to invite any woman he pleased into their home.
