Married For The Show 084. The Wait
SYLVESTERIt was 7:45 p.m. on a Monday evening.It was the start of a new week, yet my head was still in yesterday's fundraiser.I tried to work through the day, to do usual office work, but somehow, my eyes kept darting to the clock on the wall.It was a silent count down.Patrick had left an hour ago. He'd checked on me before leaving, and and I'd pretended to be rounding up my work to leave as well.I hadn't done a single thing today.The brief sat open in front of me. I hadn't read a line of it. My eyes kept going to the door instead, to the dark hallway past it. Listening, waiting.She'd said eight. It was ten to.I got up. Walked to the window. Came back. Straightened a stack of files that didn't need straightening and caught myself doing it, and that was the part that got me. Ten years as an attorney, of standing still in front of judges who wanted me to break and I never for once let them see me lose control.Now I couldn't sit through ten minutes of waiting for a woman.It h
Married For The Show 083. One More
RAINAWe rode home from the fundraiser in silence.Castor spent the whole drive on his phone, thumbing through messages, muttering once or twice about Sylvester having the nerve to show his face. I kept my eyes on the dark road sliding past the window and said nothing. My knuckles still carried the ghost of his lips. My waist still remembered his hand.When we got home, Castor went straight up to his wing without a word to me. I heard his study door close. I stood alone in the entrance hall for a moment, listening to the house settle, then kicked off my heels and carried them down toward the south wing.I couldn't sleep. My mind was too loud, too full of the dance and the office he wanted me to come to tomorrow. After an hour of lying in bed, I gave up and went to the kitchen for a glass of water.The kitchen light was off.But someone was in there.I stopped in the doorway. Maria sat at the kitchen Island in the dark, her back curved, her head bent low over something in her hands. T
Married For The Show 082. The Dance
RAINAA week had passed since the night Castor almost caught me, and it hadn't cooled a single thing between me and Sylvester.If anything, the near miss had made us worse. Desperate. Hungry. We'd texted through the whole week, and twice he'd begged me to come over. I didn't go, it was too early to resume physical visits.A smarter woman would have taken the fright as a warning. To end things with Syvelster and keep my distance. But instead, it only made me crave him even more.I tried not to give Castor any reason to be suspicious of me. So when his fundraiser came around, I did my part as his wife and stood at his side in the deep gold gown he'd laid out for me, my hand in the crook of his arm while he worked the room. I greeted the donors he steered me toward. I answered the questions I was supposed to answer.Then I saw Sylvester across the room, and my whole body woke up.He was near the far wall in a dark suit, a glass in his hand, listening to some older donor talk at him. He l
Married For The Show 081. Not Luck.
RAINAI continued to see Sylvester in secret, covering my tracks perfectly.Or so I thought.Until a Friday when it almost all came crashing down.Castor was supposed to be gone until Sunday. A trip to Chicago, a closed-door thing with donors that Felix had arranged weeks ago.Maria had informed me that morning while she cleared the breakfast dishes, and by 7p.m. that night I was in Sylvester's bed with my dress on the floor and my head on his chest and no reason in the world to be watching the clock.That was the mistake. Letting myself relax. Believing, even for a few hours, that because Castor was two states away, I had nothing to fear.My phone rang on the nightstand.I almost didn't reach for it. Then I saw the name glowing on the screen and my blood turned to ice.Maria never called me. Not once in all these months since I'd known her. We spoke solely at home and on verbal terms. She had never texted me, much less dialed my number. Which meant the only reason it was ringing now
Married For The Show 080. The Falling
RAINAI went back the next night.And the night after that, and the one after that. I stopped counting them, the way you stop counting anything you're ashamed of and can't stop doing anyway.Syvelster always made love to me in the most passionate way possible.I became a woman I didn't recognize. A woman who sat across from her husband at breakfast and lied to his face without a flicker of guilt, then slipped out through the kitchen door the moment the house went dark. A woman who had the security team memorized, all their shifts, nap time and breaks.Now the back roads to Sylvester's apartment were like an impulse, I had them implanted unto my brain, from the back gate of my house down to the broken streetlight on Delmar expressway and the crossing where the barriers never came down. I was now a woman who sat at campaign dinners with her husband's hand resting on her knee and typed filthy things to another man. We constantly texted now, all the time, everytime. One time we were in
Married For The Show 079. The PullBack
RAINAI woke in the bed with the morning light coming in from the wrong side of the room.For a few seconds I didn't understand where I was. The mattress sat firmer than mine. The sheets carried a different fragrance than I knew. Cedar.I recognized the scent, it belonged to Syvelster. The low, clean scent of him.I looked around me.Syvelster lay beside me on the bed. His arm lay heavy across my waist, his chest warm against my back, his breath moving slow and even through my hair. He was still asleep, and for one soft, dangerous moment I let myself stay there inside it, wrapped up in a man who slept like he had nothing in the world to be afraid of.Then it all came back, and the fear hit me like cold water thrown in my face."Oh My God!" I exclaimed.I slid out from under his arm and got up too fast. The room tilted. My dress was on the floor near the door, my bra somewhere past it, one shoe kicked under a chair and the other halfway across the room from where he'd taken it off me.

RAINA.The car ride home was when I finally broke completely.The moment the door shut and we pulled away from the venue, the tears began to fall. Not gentle tears, but huge, gasping sobs that shook my whole body."Mrs. Rowland?" the driver said softly. "Are you alright?"I looked up and met his ey
Married For The Show 002. The Performance
RAINA.I stood frozen against the wall for what felt like hours but was probably only seconds. Teddy had returned to Castor's side, his hand resting on my husband's shoulder with disgusting familiarity."Now," Castor said, checking his watch like nothing had happened, "we have the Cameron Foundatio
Married For The Show 001. Shattered Dream
RAINAMy husband loves them small.The smaller you are, the bigger his desire.I knew this because he'd told me several times in the two-month courtship we had. I'm petite myself, just five feet two inches, so I thought he meant me. How stupid I was.We've been married for a month and immediately
Married For The Show 004. The Party
RAINAA week had passed since I met Sylvester at the bar.I thought about his card every single day. It sat in my purse like a bomb waiting to explode. But every time I reached for my phone, I stopped myself.Too dangerous. Too risky.If Castor found out, he would destroy my family. Better to endur
