Traded For His First Love 93. Tangled Hearts and Sparkling Lies
Reese POV The party at Nathalie’s was a knockout—the hall shimmered with golden lights hanging like stars, the five-tier cake gleamed like a sculpture in the center, and the clink of glasses and laughter bounced off the marble walls. I was standing near the dance floor, the blue dress Spencer had complimented hugging my body, trying to feel in control, when Nathalie swooped in out of nowhere, her eyes sparkling like the chandeliers above us. She grabbed me in a tight hug, her expensive perfume nearly choking me as she pulled Alice in too. “Venus! Alice! My brilliant girls!” she exclaimed, her voice loud enough to turn a few heads. “Look at this party! It’s all perfect—I’m in love! You two are a dream, you know that?” I laughed, a little awkward under her enthusiasm, and hugged her back. “Glad you liked it, Nathalie. We gave it everything to make it your way.” “Your way?” she shot back, letting us go to step back and fling her arms wide, like she wanted to embrace the whole ro

Reese POV I was knee-deep in a sea of golden tulle and boxes of scented candles, holed up in the office we’d turned into a command center for Nathalie’s party. The event was two days away, and the chaos of preparation was almost a gift—it kept me busy enough to stop my mind from drifting to Elliot every five minutes. It’d been days since that elevator, since he walked out with those dark eyes and hands in his pockets, leaving me behind. After that, he vanished. No calls, no showing up. Just sent the driver to pick up Sammy, like he’d made peace with the kid spending more time with me. But that was it—a silence that screamed louder than anything he could’ve said. “Venus, you in there?” Alice nudged me, waving a silver ribbon in front of my face like a magic wand. She was standing, holding a roll of fabric, giving me that look that said she knew I was spacing out. “If these flowers aren’t ready by the end of the day, Nathalie’s gonna strangle us.” I blinked, snapping back to real

Reese POV I could barely feel my own body as I trudged heavily down the condo hallway, heading back to my apartment. The conversation I’d just had with Elliot had really gotten to me—I felt drained, almost breathless, the pressure nearly bringing me to my knees right there in the corridor. I even had to brace myself against the nearest wall. “Please pull yourself together, Venus…” I begged myself, repeating it like a mantra to make my heart remember my cause, to remind my heart of my struggle. I’d chosen to stay away from Elliot because I believed it was the right thing for me, but it was overwhelmingly heavy, and I just didn’t feel strong enough to bear it. It hurt like hell—uncontrollable tears streamed down my face—so I crouched down, trying to gather my strength. “Venus…?” It was Spencer. “My God, are you okay?” He came over, kneeling in front of me and pulling me into a hug, visibly worried. “Did that guy do something to you? Did he hurt you or anything?” I could hear the

Reese POV I couldn’t settle with how Elliot had stormed out of there, running off like he’d been wronged somehow by me bringing Spencer home—and worse, holding his hand right in front of him. It gnawed at me, this urge to do something, to make him listen. I felt this need to explain myself, even though I didn’t fully understand why. “Can you wait here for me?” I asked Spencer, nodding toward the kids. Sammy’s little brow was furrowed, unsure what to do now that his dad had bolted out like that, so I took off after Elliot. I ran through the hallways until I caught up with him at the elevator, shoving my hand in just as the doors were about to close. I slipped inside, and his jaw was clenched tight. His eyes darted everywhere in that tiny metal box—anywhere but me. “What are you doing?” he asked, his words coming out stiff and sharp. “I…” I stammered, and suddenly all the things I wanted to say vanished from my head. My throat went dry. I knew he still had feelings for me, but w

Reese POV After dinner at Le Jardin, Spencer suggested a walk around the city, and I couldn’t say no—not with that crooked smile of his looking at me like I was the center of the universe. The night was gorgeous, the clear sky dotted with stars, the cool air carrying the scent of wet asphalt from the rain earlier. We strolled through Chicago’s lit-up streets, the building lights reflecting in puddles, and he took my hand, lacing his fingers with mine in a way that caught me off guard with its ease. “Ever stop to think how alive this city feels at night?” he asked, his voice soft as he gazed at the glowing shop windows and passing cars. “It’s like it never sleeps.” I smiled, following his gaze. “Yeah, sometimes I forget that. I spend so much time rushing around, I don’t really look.” He laughed, giving my hand a gentle squeeze. “Then let me show you. Let’s enjoy it a little.” We walked without hurry, chatting about everything and nothing. He told me a funny story about a clie

Reese POV The restaurant Spencer took me to was one of those places that felt straight out of a movie—the kind where luxury screamed in every detail, but not over-the-top. Le Jardin sat atop a downtown Chicago building, with huge windows showing off the city lights twinkling like fallen stars. The hostess led us to a corner table by the window, with a view that seemed to cradle the world outside. Candles flickered in crystal holders, and the scent of fresh herbs and expensive wine floated in the air. Spencer pulled out my chair with that crooked smile he did so well, and I sat down, trying to ignore the weight still pressing on my chest from the park. “You look beautiful tonight, Venus,” he said, his dark eyes gleaming under the soft light as he took his seat across from me. “That blue dress… it’s like it was made for you.” I smiled, smoothing the fabric of the dress I’d picked almost on autopilot before leaving. “Thanks, Spence. You’re looking pretty sharp yourself,” I said, n

Reese POV The kiss felt like a wildfire, hot and out of control, and I was burning up in it. Elliot held me like I might slip through his fingers any second, his hands firm on my waist, his body pressed against mine in a way that erased any rational thought. I clung to his neck, my fingers tangled in his hair, lost in that taste I knew so well yet felt so new—like we’d gone back in time, but with all the weight of the present on our shoulders. Then a sharp cry from outside—“Mommy!”—cut through the air like a knife. It was Avie. My heart jolted, and I pulled away from him in a panic, the cold bathroom air rushing into the space between us. “Elliot, the kids,” I muttered, my voice hoarse, almost breathless, as I wiped my mouth with the back of my hand like I could erase what had just happened. He looked at me, his green eyes still dark with desire, his breathing heavy. “Reese, wait…” he started, but I was already unlocking the door, the click sounding too loud in the silence. “N

Reese POV The midday sun was perfect at the park, a warm glow that made the tree leaves shimmer in vivid green. Me, Elliot, Sammy, and Avie had claimed a little spot by the lake, with a checkered blanket spread out on the grass and a picnic basket Elliot insisted on bringing. It was a light day, one of those that almost made me forget the weight of the world. It reminded me so much of those days in London when I dreamed of moments like this with my family—we hardly ever had them, but the few we did were eternal, and it was just wonderful to be doing it again with Sammy and now with Avie. Now the boy was chasing his little sister, who clutched a red ball with her chubby hands, laughing loud as she tried to escape him. “You can’t catch me, Sammy!” she squealed, her short legs stumbling over the grass, but her smile was so big it lit up everything. “I can too, you little rascal!” Sammy shot back, pretending to run slower to give her a chance. His hair was all messed up by the wind

Reese POV Back at my apartment, the air felt lighter, but only on the surface. I was sunk into the couch, running my fingers through Avie’s soft hair as she blinked sleepy little eyes in my lap, nearly giving in to sleep. Alice and Spencer were parked at the coffee table, wine glasses in hand, while I tried to explain the Bethany fiasco without letting exhaustion swallow me whole. “So, Bethany was totally different,” Alice started, swirling her wine in the glass like it was some magic potion. “She treated Venus like she was trash or something. I swear, if I hadn’t held myself back, I’d have yanked that sloppy ponytail right off her head.” Spencer laughed, that low, raspy laugh that always carried a hint of irony. “Seriously? What happened to make her so prickly?” “She’s convinced Josh is into me,” I said, rolling my eyes while I rubbed Avie’s back, her warmth calming me a little. “Josh Carter’s a great catch, but to me, he’s just a good friend, you know? But Alice thinks that’

Reese POVToday was Valentine's Day, and as usual, I was preparing something special for my husband. Four long years of marriage had passed, and our son, Sammy, was the fruit of our love. At least that's what I liked to think, since with each passing year, Elliot Goodwin's love for me only seemed to grow colder.I married him on a day like this; it snowed all night, as if God were blessing our union. Elliot Goodwin and I loved each other more than anything; he was the man of my life; for him, I left my old life in New York and accepted to go with him to another city, expecting to live wild love adventures by his side, expecting that I would finally be happy with him.But everything crumbled when his family looked down on me with disdain and disapproved of me. "What is this, Elliot?" Florence, my mother-in-law, asked haughtily as she looked at me as if I were dust."This is Reese Hudson, Mom," Elliot said, introducing me to his family. "Actually, she's Reese Goodwin now. She's my wife....
