LESLIE'S POV

The day I have been preparing for was finally here. The Annual Baxter Gala. The one that determined my place and acceptance in the Baxter family.

But things started to go wrong as soon as I opened my eyes.

I woke up feeling like I ran five miles the day before. My limbs felt heavy and my eyes could barely open. It felt like I was sick but I knew it was the nervousness wreaking my body.

“Leslie? Are you okay?” Saint crouched in front of me as I sat up. He had been avoiding me for da

    LESLIE'S POVMy mouth dropped open and I glanced around to see if anyone was nearby. I was not that lucky. I turned back to him and planted a smile on my face. Fake it till you make it, right?“Thank you for liking me but I'm married." I showed him my ring. “I'm actually here with my husband." “Oh, I know you're pretending," he slurred. “I've been watching the both of you all night. You were clinging to him to make me jealous, huh?" “Uhm…I don't even know you?" I raised my eyebrows. “Please, just let me go. My husband will be worried if I take too long." “Stop calling him your husband in front of me." He grabbed the back of my head and forced me to look at him. “I've always admired you. Why can't you see it? Why won't you love me back?" Was he mistaking me for someone else?“I think there is a misunderstanding here. This is the first time I'm setting my eyes on you," I groaned, wondering what rotten luck I have to always get into trouble at events. “Well, I've had my eyes on you

    LESLIE’S POV“Oh my, Mrs Baxter. I'm so sorry. I didn't see you there," she gasped. “Did it touch you? I'm sorry." "It did not, so it's okay.” I turned to walk away but she grabbed my arm. Her hands were cold against my bare arm so I shook it off. “Is there a problem? I'm not upset, honestly. You don't have to be concerned." They wanted to embarrass me so as to humble me but they failed. I've spent enough time in this circle to know how shallow they think and behave, thanks to my mother-in-law for her amazing mentorship.The woman stared at her hands in question before looking at me. “Since you are here, why don't you join me and the others?" She gestured to the women that were staring at us earlier. “All of our husbands are CEOs. I am sure we can be good company to you." I blinked at her words, my brain sending a code red signal to me. “As much as I would love to, I have to return to my husband. I told him I was just going to the bar.”"Hey, you don't have to be shy.” She hooked h

    LESLIE'S POVI smiled as I turned in front of the mirror, my sleeveless black dress shimmying with my movement. It was a mermaid tail gown with diamond dust around the waist and the hem of the dress.I looked up when the door opened and Saint walked in dressed in a tuxedo that matched my dress perfectly. He smiled and moved his eyes down my body slowly, in a way that had me clenching my thighs.“How breathtaking." He went behind me and caressed my shoulder. “What do you think about my choice this time?" “I love it." I smoothed out the fabric and smiled. “It makes the color of my eyes pop too. I'm proud of you once again.”"It looks like it needs a little bit of color though.” He placed his head on my shoulder and looked at me through the mirror."Does it?” I frowned. "Should I use red lipstick instead?”"No, use this.” He placed a box on the chair I was sitting on."What's that?” I grabbed it and opened it, my eyes widening from the sparkle that hit me in the face. I gawked at the te

    LESLIE'S POVI read those words over and over, each one looking less real than the last one. But the words didn't disappear, they stared back at me.My daughter. He called me that three times within a paragraph. Words that I never heard from him in the twelve years I lived with him.I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding and looked up. The staff that had been gossiping earlier stared at me in disbelief, their feet rooted to the ground. Saint returned with the bottle of water I had asked for and accessed the situation.“What's going on? Did they say something to you?" He looked at them and they avoided his eyes, fear clear on their faces.“Nothing I haven't heard before," I shrugged. Saint turned to them but I held his hand and shook my head. "Let it be. I don't want to make an issue out of this.”He pulled away from me and walked up to them regardless. I craned my neck as he spoke to them but I couldn't hear a thing. After a while, he returned back to me.“What did you tell

    LESLIE'S POVI groaned when the shrill ringing of my phone permeated through my sleep. I fished out my hand, searching for the treacherous device blindly. I had only managed to fall asleep at the crack of dawn, thanks to Saint's never ending desire and strength.I finally found it and answered the call without opening my eyes. “Hel–”"Leslie, go online right now!”My eyes snapped open and I checked the ID of the call. It was Selene. I glanced at Saint who was still asleep before sitting up and putting the phone back in my ear. "Why? What's going on?”"Someone left a comment on the pictures you posted last night. It is trending. You have to go and check it out. Just…just don't pay too much attention to what people are saying. People are always going to say shit even if they don't know half of it.”I clenched the duvet. "Thank you. You don't need to worry, no matter what people say, I'm sure I've heard worse.”I ended the call, noting the slight tremor of my fingers. I logged in to my a
