Jennifer paled, her face turning ashen the moment the woman’s words echoed round the entire room.

My lips curled subtly into a sly smirk of satisfaction as I watched her face.

There was only one of this dress made in the entire world, and that was what I currently wore.

I watched as Jennifer quickly recovered, her eyes flared as she spat at the woman.

“What are you insinuating?

That I, the young madam of the Blackwoods family cannot afford to wear an original dress?

Are you saying that I’m lying?” She hissed in rage, firing back at the woman.

Not ready to back down from the fight I instigated.

And neither was the woman.

She folded her arms before her chest–her eyes roaming around Jennifer’s body in disgust.

In the high class world, wearing a fake dress was akin to a sin for them.

“Young madam, why are you attacking me so furiously?

I was only stating the truth, that the dress you are wearing is the fake.

While this madam right here is wearing the original Visanchi dress,” the woman

    KILLIAN THOMPSON’S POVThe whiskey rolled down my tongue as it burned its way through my throat.Just the exact way I loved it.My gaze drifted to Aveline.She sat beautifully as always beside me.My coat wrapped around her, claiming her as mine and no one else.Then my eyes slipped down to her finger where the huge rock sat elegantly on her fingers.The same one I placed there.Piercing eyes burnt through me, making my gaze snap up the moment I felt them.And I watched—observing as her lips tugged up slightly at the edges.That was until the line expanded, curling slowly into a beaming wide smile.And then, the melodic sound of her laughter filled the entire car.She laughed so hard that tears glinted in her eyes, rolling down her cheeks.And I was mesmerized by the sight as the drink in my hand paused in the air.“Who knew you were this much of a talented actor Killian Thompson,” she joked, wiggling her brows at me.I knew what exactly she was talking about, and for her sake, I forc

    “You are just as mad as your wife Jennifer!It seems madness runs in your family.I better leave before I get infected,” I snarled, turning back to walk away.But then, his words halted me on my steps as my entire body stiffened.“Does your husband know that you are cheating on him?” He hissed.My back coiled with tension.My face clouded with shock as I turned towards him.“What?” I snapped in confusion.His face hardened, his jaws thickened, vibrating with anger as he stepped towards me.And each step he took felt suffocating.“I heard you on the phone earlier,You said ‘I love you more.’Who were you speaking to so secretly and saying those words if not a man?” He spat venomously.I stared at him, my hands clenched in a fist tightly beside me.‘Still as doubting as ever, Ethan Blackwood,’ I thought internally.Always quick to believe that everyone is a cheat like you.You’ll never change.Well, at least that proved that he had not heard my earlier conversation.He had no idea about

    “You know, the minute I opened my eyes that day, they told me you were dead.That you burned to death in a car crash, and even your body could not be recovered,” Ethan breathed, his hot gaze on me.One of his hands held tightly on my waist, and I could barely breathe.While the other trailed up to my face, moving a strand of hair behind my ears.“But, I didn't believe them.I told them, and everyone that was ready to listen that you were not dead.The Leah I know would never die so easily.So I waited, I waited for days.And days turned into weeks.Weeks turned into months.And months into years…” he stopped himself as his voice shook slightly at his last words.His eyes bled with so many emotions that they pierced deep into my chest, taking my heart out of my rib cage and squeezing it painfully tight.“Five years, Leah.That was how long I waited.And how long it took you to come back to me,” he whispered.The wind blew harsher this time, my dark hair flowing into my face.I watched

    My face split into a wide smile as I gazed at him below.My cheeks hot from shyness.“Say yes!Say yes!” The crowd chanted and I laughed beautifully.“Yes husband.I would love to be your wife all over again,” I said softly as the crowd screamed.From where I stood, I could feel him stiffening as he watched everything happen before his eyes.His gaze burned hot into mine as Killian slipped the huge and beautiful red diamond ring into my finger.And they sat perfectly.I raised my hands in the air, waving my ring as if it were my price.And just then, Killian did something unexpected again.He lifted me in the air, his hands below my ass as he twirled me around.Confetti filled with glitters and money sprayed around us.And right there, my eyes landed on Ethan’s scorching hot ones and his tight jaws.And I did the most surprising thing, I smiled brightly at him.My entire thirty-two teeth on show.“Wow, Mr Thompson, you just really love Mrs Landers.You gave her the red tear cut diamon

    My soft and innocent voice came.Killian shook at my side with confusion as he turned to me.“Aveline, what are you doing?”I rolled my eyes, moving out of his hold and I bent down to support Jennifer in standing up.“Please, she is human too.No one deserves to suffer.I do not hold her responsible for trying to harm me at all.I know she acted irrationally, but she might have not done it in her right mind.I mean look at her state,” my voice shook tearfully as I muttered those last words.‘I’m really an amazing actress.I deserve an Oscar award for this performance,’ I praised myself internally while putting on my feeble act.Jennifer stared at me in shock and confusion as she muttered underneath her breath.“You are not Leah,”Her voice was small, below a whisper, but I still heard it clearly although I pretended not to.I turned to face her slightly, “Did you say something?” I asked as she shook her head.If I were alone right now, my face would have split up into a beaming wide s

    The moment those words left his lips I steeled myself internally.Seeing him this close after a long time brought back all the painful memories all over again.The crowd did nothing as he took a step towards me.One step turned into two.And two into more till he stood right before me.His hands lifted and I stood still saying nothing, just frozen in place as his familiar scent wafted in my nose.His fingers drew closer to my face, and I feared that if his skin touched mine, all the walls I’ve struggled so hard to build might shatter.But yet, I could not move away. But right before his hands could make contact with my skin, thick strong palms slid across my waist drawing me closer into his warm heat.And Ethan’s hands paused in the air.And he watched helplessly as Killian held me closer to his body.“Mr Blackwood.It’s a pleasure to finally meet you.I believe you have met my wife, Aveline Lander.The heir to the Lander fortunes,” Killian muttered, his words sounded humble but I co
