I wasn’t fast enough.“Gianna, looking for something?” Sydney asked.“I was looking for my husband.”“Your husband is the father of my child. He’s with his son.”I nodded. My face hurt so much from the emotions I was going through. At any moment I was going to break down and I didn’t want it to be in front of Sydney.“Do you always take what doesn’t belong to,you Gianna? I ask because I really don’t know you very well.”“Do you always steal, lie and abandon your family?” I spat. Thanks to my raging emotions my words were sharp.“Me?!” She faked ignorance when she knew exactly what I was talking about.“You left when things were horrible here. You didn’t care about Dad and Nora. You still don’t.”“Don’t act righteous. You didn’t marry Brad because you wanted to save them. You did it because he’s a billionaire. Don’t get it twisted. I’ve seen this so many times. You’re set for life. You lucky girl.”The accusation stung. I wasn’t a slut. I’d done things I wasn’t proud of. I would have m

I felt Brad kiss my forehead before the door opened and Rufus’s soft footsteps sounded. His heavy body landed on top of me, but I pretended to be asleep. It was early and my body was tired. Brad had to go to work early. I heard the door click close and then opened my eyes.“Hey buddy,” I rubbed his head.Rufus opened one eye, “You’re still tired aren’t you?”“We have to get up we have things to do.” Well, I did. I was going to leave Rufus with the neighbour. He liked dogs and kept Rufus when Sydney had her party.That was a few days ago, but I still felt the effects of that night. The news of the double heir was everywhere! If I had friends in high society they would all be asking me how it was possible my husband also got my sister pregnant.I got dressed in thigh-high boots, black leggings a grey turtleneck and a cream-white coat. It was starting to get cold. I left Rufus at the neighbour’s house and took the car. It was a long trip. At least it was going to be because I had too muc

“Gianna, what’s wrong?” Brad reached for me but I backed away. “No, please.” Mom came rushing with the apron dangling around her waist and a wooden spoon in her right hand. She stared at the broken glass then at me curled in a ball and my dog barking his head off. “What’s going on?” She demanded. “You were supposed to get rid of everything! Why is that picture still here?” “What picture? Gianna what—” She bent and picked up the picture. It was like digging up a buried secret that no one wanted to be uncovered. “I didn’t know this was still around. Where did you find it?” “It was on the nightstand,” Brad replied. “Honey I’m so sorry. I had no idea.” She wrapped me in her arms. Brad took Rufus out of the room and came back minutes later. The barking had stopped, but I have still curled in my mother’s arms like a teenager again. “Will someone tell me what is going on?” Brad demanded. “You want me to give you some space?” Mom asked. I nodded and sniffled. Mom stopped

“Stop Brad!”Brad’s fist collided with Bryan’s jaw. Bryan stumbled and hit the body of the car. Brad grabbed Bryan’s collar again and slammed him into the car.“What the hell were you thinking?” Brad blasted“Brad, stop. It’s not what you think.”Brad slammed him on the car and shoved me behind him.“Get out of the way. Are you trying to get hurt?”“You’re causing a sense!”“Why the fuck would you do this?” He barked at his friend.Bryan brushed blood off his upper lip and glared at his friend.“I haven’t done anything.”“You don’t understand. Can we all get in the car and talk?” I whispered.People had their phones out, filming us. I gripped Brad’s arm and tugged him to the car.“Please…”“Did he hurt you?” Brad demanded.More people came out of cafes and restaurants to see what was going on. Gosh, what if someone called the police on us?“He didn’t. You’ll want to hear what he has to say.”“Fine.”Bryan climbed in the backseat while Brad and I got in the front. I started the car up

I hung up the phone with my best friend stressing about my situation. I ran to the other side of the bed.“Gianna, open up now.”I placed my hand on my chest.“I’m coming.”It was only Brad. I could finally breathe, but that didn’t mean I was at ease. I opened the door with shaky hands. Brad burst in and surveyed the room. Rufus stopped barking. He walked into the room and stood next to me. I rubbed his head to comfort him. He must not have liked that I left him with the bodyguard.“Why did you lock yourself in the room?” Brad asked.“I… nothing. I just needed a minute.”Brad walked to the walk-in closet and the bathroom while Rufus and I crawled onto the bed. The second I touched the soft bed I realized how exhausted I was.“Is that all?” He asked when he came back.I didn’t know what he was looking for, Silas. The bodyguards must have

I decided to leave Rufus at the kennel another day. There were so many boxes for me to unpack. Mom and Lilly were busy so I took on the task on my own. While unpacking Brad’s clothes I realized how much I missed my husband. I buried my face in his suit jacket and inhaled. Tears nearly sprung from my eyes. I decided to leave his belongings alone and focus on the kitchen. I got new appliances that needed unpacking.When I called Brad his phone was either busy or out of reach or he just wouldn’t answer. When I tried to call him again when I settled down completely exhausted in the evening I realized I called Brad seventeen times today and he didn’t pick up once.I slammed my phone on my brand-new white sofa chair. I wasn’t jealous I just wanted my husband to answer me. The blistering headache I had was not helping my mood and being neglected wasn’t helping either.I was thinking about ordering a pizza and heading to my room to eat since I hadn’t ordered any curtains for the living room.

My headache from last night hadn’t gone away now my head was pounding. I woke up with an upset stomach. When I was awake I realized the pounding in my head wasn’t my head at all it was the front door.I grabbed my robe and rushed to answer the door.“Yes?” I answered.The sun hit me right in the eyes and I winced.A tall man in a black and white suit stood on the other side. He had black shades on. I needed those. He wasn’t there at the park. They must have a roster of who protects me every day.“Mrs Wolfe, we searched the property last night and there wasn’t any sign that someone broke in.”I was sure I saw a flash. I didn’t see the person, but I know a camera flash.“Oh, that should be a good thing right?”“We thought so too, but we found this.” He pulled out a plastic bag from the back of his waistband.He held two broken pieces of a black object. It was partly covered in mud I couldn’t make out what it was.“What is it?”“One of your security cameras. It was supposed to be in fron

“I don’t see why we have to leave so soon. Mason wanted to see France.” Sydney cradled her son.“Mason needs to get home to his father where he’s going to be comfortable,” I said.“You’re not going to be bitter about that are you?” Sydney scrawled. “I wasn’t sure okay. And you had no right to have a DNA test on my baby without asking me.”“It was either that or have you rob me blind,” I muttered.“Stop you too. Mason will still be in Brad’s family. You’re his uncle. You did a good thing for your family.” Nora said.Sure Mason was Gianna’s nephew. I glanced at my phone again. It was seven thirty in the morning and I hadn’t gotten a single call from Gianna. Not even a missed call.We arrived quickly. I made sure of it. I tried calling her cell but it was disconnected.“Is something wrong Brad?” Nora whispered.“Gianna won’t answer the phone.”“Her father left me a dozen calls last night. I just hope—”I didn’t let her finish her sentence. I was dialling Ronald’s number seconds later. He

“Sorry about your shirt,” I said as Rocco washed his hands.“It would have been my shirt or your dress. I needed a distraction to get you alone,” he smirked.“How do you know my Dad?” I wasn’t sure I wanted the answer to this.“We’ve done business together. Whatever that is you don’t need to know.”I planted my hand on my hip, “The first day of our relationship and you’re already keeping secrets from me?”Rocco laughed. He grabbed my chin and kissed me. “One thing about me is I’ll try to protect you at any cost. Let it go, okay?”I nodded. My heart settled. Some things were better left buried.We walked of the bathroom at the same time and drew some eyes. I turned to Rocco he walked ahead unbothered. He oozed confidence. I appeared by his side. I still had to answer questions about my ex-boyfriend and being seen so close to Rocco would spark rumours then I remembered I needed to get Candice out of the bathroom.“I have to take care of my sister,” I whispered.Rocco smiled easily, “I’l

After Rocco left I couldn’t sleep. I curled into my bed and rethought the entire night. The most traumatizing thing was Chad kissing Cleo. I couldn’t digest that I was single. I’d been with Chad for so long already. Rocco bore his heart out but the night wasn’t long enough for me to come to a decision.The next morning, I had to get ready for my sister’s engagement. I put on a brave face for my family and prepared of the engagement taking place at seven in the evening.Gianna told me she couldn’t make it. She hadn’t been feeling well so Brad put her on lockdown. I needed my best friend but this was my battle to face. There would be questions when I showed up without Chad. Mom would throw a fit.The sun came and went before I knew it I was packing up my makeup and picking shoes. After drowning a glass of wine I called a cab. The engagement was at my family’s estate which had been in the family for years. Mom would sell her leg before selling that piece of property. Thank goodness I did

Rocco chuckled, “Aren’t you going to answer that?”“Hide in my room!”Rocco grimaced before walking to the couch, settling on it and lifting his feet on the stool.“That isn’t hiding Rocco!”Rocco rolled his head back and rested his palms on his chest like an innocent man. The pounding continued.“Lilly, open up,” Chad demands.I fidgeted with my hands. I couldn’t just wait here until he went away.“Want me to open the door for you? You knew this was a long time coming.” Rocco pushed himself up from the couch and closed the space between us. He was right. I cheated on Chad now I had to face the explosion.I marched to the door. I glanced at Rocco there was a hint of surprise on his face but he said nothing. I opened the door. Something squeezed my heart when Chad appeared on the other side stood his receptionist Cleo.“What’s going on?” I asked.Chad marched inside, Cleo tailing him. Alright, y’all can both come in, I thought.“You’re asking me what’s going on? Who’s he?” Chad pointed

Rocco picked up the phone slowly. He leaned back and brought the phone to his face. Silence settled between us while he scrutinized the photos. Did he even know what he was looking at? He was so drunk nothing must be registering in his mind.Then he tossed the phone on the table.“What is this? Did you come to seduce me with your semi-nude photos?”“Excuse me? Seduce you? Don’t you know what those are?”“Pictures of your ass,” he said, bringing the empty glass to his lips. He frowned when he got nothing out of the glass.“Pictures I didn’t take! Did you send these?”“Why would I, Lilly?”He hauled his body off the chair and staggered to the liquor case. I groaned and followed him to the case. I caught his arm before he could grab another bottle.“That’s enough alcohol for one night,” I said.He snatched his arm back. “You can’t tell me what to do.”“I have a problem here! Someone has nude photos of me if it isn’t you.”“Your naked imagine is embedded in my mind for the rest of time.”

I ran to my door but there was no one chasing me. I ran as if a dog was right on my heels. I never wanted to see another silver suit in my life. I didn’t think I would have to walk around nearly butt naked. I would have to sell my soul to do it. I’d have to sell my soul to pay Rocco back. Tears rolled down my cheek as I rummaged my kitchen for a bottle of wine I kept for special occasions. I kept it under the sink. I pulled out the bottle of white wine and grabbed a curvy wine glass. I filled the glass and collapsed on my couch. I was screwed. I would have to go to my parents for money and maybe my sister. I sniffled the ultimate embarrassment. I kicked off my heels. My boyfriend would leave me. At least my best friend wouldn’t abandon me. On my second glass pounding came from my door. I grumbled. I ignore it and took a sip. The pounding continued. I didn’t care I couldn’t afford this apartment anyway so if my neighbours complained it was fine with me. “Emilia! Open this door.” I

I arrived under the cover of night at the nightclub. I let my hair down, plastered on red lipstick. I pulled out black heels from the back of my closet and pulled on a black coat. Maybe I would fit in at the club. Still my skin crawled when I entered the underground club.The bouncers let me through. The bartender left his station and told me to go to the office to the right. It wasn’t Rocco’s office. The office was smaller than Rocco’s office. It had a desk and a chair behind it. An arm chair the in the corner of the room as well as a small liquor cabinet.“Where’s Rocco?” I asked.“He left but I was told to bring you here when you came.”“Okay?” I walked to the chair in the corner. “By whom?” Too late the bartender was already gone.I picked up the brown liquid on the desk. I brought it to my nose and winced. Strong stuff. Did Rocco have another office? He wouldn’t mind if I helped myself to a bottle in his cabinet.I scanned the bottles each one stronger than the last. I settled on

My sister scowled and raved about me being late and my hair being a mess. I couldn’t argue with her about my hair. It looked like I just walked out a bed I’d been fucked in all night. I was thankful rather than mad when she gave me a pink beanie.“You know what you’re looking for Candice?”“I’ve got an idea. I’m thinking glamourous rich princess.”“I’m having a hard time envisioning it,” I frowned as we walked into a dress store with pink cursive letters over the door. Headless manikins posed in the windows wearing dresses of all sorts of designs.We walked in and the scent of lavender and lilac welcomed us along with a ceiling covered in yellow lights. Rows and rows of wedding gowns lined the walls and extended to the backrooms. This place reminded me of how I missed my best friend’s dress fitting.Gianna’s situation was complicated. I wouldn’t have made much of a difference. Her sister-in-law showed up with her husband’s ex-mistress. The day ended with a damaged wedding dress that G

Rocco’s fingers traced the line of the side of my body. How did I end up back here? I lay in his bed, staring at the bathroom door. My clothes had been discarded on the ground. I asked him to help me forget that people exist. He did that. For hours.Subtle moans turned to screams that would have Rocco’s neighbours reporting him in the morning. He closed his lips on my neck. If I checked the time on my phone it would tell me, it was somewhere after two in the morning. I should have been at home instead I was snuggling closer to a man that had knives sticking out of him.“Rocco?”“Lilly?” he rested his palm where he wore a cold metal ring on my hip.“Aren’t your neighbours going to complain? I made a lot of noise.”He chuckled and brushed my hair out of my face. “They should get used to it.”My heart cracked with information I had tucked in the back of my mind.“Right… you have a lot of women here.”“None of which are like you.”I wanted to tell him all women are different but he slid h

“Hey,” I flipped my hair over my shoulder and smiled wide.Chad marched in and looked around.“Are you with someone?” He asked.“What? No. I’m alone. I’m ready too. Shall we get going? You know mom likes us to be on time.”He eyed me from head to toe. “You look gorgeous but I’m sure I heard voices in here.”“Voices? I had the TV on must have been that. I turned it off when I answered the door.”“You were talking to the TV?” He raised his brows at me.“Chad? Would I do that? Maybe you’re just stressed you work a lot.”“I’ve been stressed before and I’ve certainly never heard things.”His eyes roamed around the living room and scrutinized the balcony doors. Anything but the bedroom.“Can we leave? I don’t want to get on mom’s bad side tonight.”He br
