LOGINI slaved away for my husband and son. But what did I get in return? Cold shoulders, cutting words, and distance. Then one day, my husband suggested a “fake divorce” so my stepsister could adopt a child. Fine. Fake divorce it is. Except… if it’s just fake, why are the two of them heating up the sheets behind my back? Then, Fake divorce just turned real. My ex-husband thought I’d beg to come back. My stepsister thought I’d envy her for stealing my husband and son. They both thought I’d shatter. Wrong. I’ve got my career, my revenge, and oh—did I mention? I’m dating a drop-dead gorgeous man who actually knows my worth. And suddenly, life tasted sweeter than I ever imagined.
View MoreWillow’s POVI stared at Beatrice lying face first on the table, completely gob smacked. The scene had drawn the attention from all the tables around us. All eyes were on us as Beatrice slowly stood up. Her hand was cut from the glass she’d smashed, and her cheeks were flushed red from embarrassment.But her eyes burned with an anger I’d never seen before. Her chest had food smeared all over it and gravy dripped from her hair and eyelashes.“Oh my god,” I whispered. “Beatrice, I didn’t mean to…” My voice trailed off as I spoke. I don’t know what had come over me. She’d pushed me to a breaking point and I’d completely lost control of myself. Humiliated by my own display, my lips quivered.Luigi stood up and came to my side just as Franklin rushed over, grabbing Beatrice by the arm.“She assaulted me!” Beatrice hissed, pointing her finger at me. “You all saw it! She punched me in the face! Someone call the authorities!’Her face was haughty, her voice tight.“I…I’m sorry…” I started but
Willow’s POVWe took our seats at the table, across from Beatrice and Franklin Fundle. I had to admit, the fact that we were sitting with the two of them was weighing on us pretty heavily.But I was determined to take the high road, and to have a good night. Besides, there were other nominees at our table, so we could, in essence, simply ignore them.Everyone else also began taking their seats for the five course plated dinner. Throughout the dinner, guests could make their way over to the wine table and pick up glasses of any wine they wanted, all compliments of the event.Luigi brought us all the Wine Not red blend, and I pretended to sip mine as the first course was served. Beatrice laughed obnoxiously, drawing eyes from everyone at the table in her direction.“Pardon me,” she said, setting down her wine. “Franklin here just said the funniest thing though. Tell them, Franklin. Tell them what you just told me.”With an arrogant smile, Franklin launched into a story about a buyer and
Willow’s POV“Surprised is not the word I’d use,” I seethed.I couldn’t believe it. What was Beatrice doing at the wine awards? The last time I’d seen her was in Dallas, right after I’d found out that she’d messed with my holiday necklace line.My heart dropped. Was I destined to just keep running into her? This was a special night. Luigi and Logan’s night. Everything had been going perfectly.And now?Narrowing my eyes, I glared at her.“Why are you here?” Luigi said, protectively putting his arm across me.“I was invited,” Beatrice quipped.“By whom?” Adonnis seethed.“A gentleman friend,” Beatrice said.“One of your tricks?” Adonis snapped. His insult caused Beatrice’s smile to drop momentarily.“No,” she said. “I don’t do that anymore.”“You mean, you don’t have sex with men for money anymore? I find that hard to believe. You know what they say. Once a whore, always a whore.”“Adonis,” I said, shooting him a look to tell him to be quiet. The last thing I wanted was to make a scene
Luigi’s POVI really did feel like the luckiest man on the planet as the limo pulled into the red carpet entrance of the wine awards. I had the most beautiful woman at my side, and a very special award nestled inside my suit pocket.Logan was with me too, and the fact that he and I were celebrating this night together meant a lot to me. Logan was bristling with excitement like a little child on Christmas morning. This wasn’t my first Wine Awards. I’d been nominated before, mostly for my red blends. But this was Logan’s first time at the awards, and I was happy to share it with him.Just as I was glad that Adonis and Jay were also with us. We’d secured some extra tickets, and who better to bring along than Adonis and Jay? They were like family to us. My only lament was that Benjamin couldn’t be there. He would have loved the event. But he was there in spirit.So, surrounded by the people that I adored most in the world, we stepped out of the limo and right into the flashing lights of th
