Kelsey’s chest tightened as emotions weighed heavily on her. Tyler might be able to tolerate the incident a couple of times, but what if it became a recurring pattern?He might end up despising Kelsey too. Now that she had a new lease on life, the only thing Kelsey ever wanted was to spend the rest of her life with Tyler. The question of her worthiness now stood between them. Tyler’s eyes were unreadable. “I have never meant to insult you, Kels.” Her strong reaction took Tyler by surprise. Kelsey looked at him through the tears in her eyes. “I know that my upbringing makes me a less suitable wife to you, but I’ve been working on myself. Today, I realized that certain things are out of my hands. I can’t undo my past.” The Langs were a prestigious family while the Youngs were reduced to an upper-middle class at the hands of Charlie. Kelsey married beyond her social class. She thought that she could break free from her family and be good enough for him through her own

Tyler did not give Kelsey a straight answer. Instead, he lowered his head and sealed her lips. He engaged in a deep, lingering kiss. Tyler did not give Kelsey a chance to get mad and drill him with questions. Kelsey was left gasping in a daze from the kiss. She could not focus on the question long enough to grill him. … Kelsey stayed put in Tyler’s place for the next few days to help with the injury to her ankle. Since the argument over Charlie, Kelsey and Tyler avoided the subject altogether. Tyler moved most of his work home which freed up his time to care for Kelsey. Then came the after-party of Runway Revolution. There had always been an after-party once the annual Runway Revolution came to an end. The party was thrown in honor of the winners and to serve as a platform for participants to socialize. Many business and political figures were among the attendees. The organizer had the party in line once the curtains were drawn for Runway Revolution.The w

The reception was filled with the soothing sounds of the violin. Kelsey entered the venue, her arm linked to Tyler’s. The pretty pair were a real head-turner. Several leaders of the organizing committee and influential figures from politics and business flocked to greet Kelsey and Tyler. Cerys and James were brushed off to the side. The winner of Runway Revolution was Cerys. Yet, all the attention was on Kelsey. Not only did Kelsey win two awards, but she came with Tyler too. These people were no fools. Kelsey clearly had more to offer than Cerys. Kelsey kept Tyler company as he socialized with the crowd. Malice seemed to follow Kelsey around, though. “What’s the matter?” Reading Kelsey’s discomfort, Tyler put his hand over hers and held her tight. Kelsey glanced at a grimacing Cerys from the corner of her eye and shook her head. “I’m fine.” Tyler followed Kelsey’s line of vision. He narrowed his eyes dangerously. It was one intimidating look. Cerys looked a

Zara quickly put a stop to the mayhem. “Who are you? Do you know where we are? We are at the after-party of Runway Revolution. I can call the cops on you for causing a scene and assault!” Her intention was to scare Rhea off. However, Rhea was not buying it. “Fine. Call the cops. Let them be the judge. They can take this mistress away.” Rhea shoved Zara away and charged toward Cerys to slap her again. “How dare you hit on my husband! “You have the nerve!” Her assault and insults attracted everybody’s attention at the party. Now the truth was out about the gold digger. A murmur of gossip began to spread through the crowd.“Turns out, Cerys, the winner, is the homewrecker! I can’t believe it. Why would a talented young lady get involved with a married man?” “I thought the one pulling strings was Kelsey, the runner-up.” “I think we got the wrong idea about Kelsey. The real gold digger was Cerys. I sure couldn’t tell. The wife caught her.” The crowd mocked and sne

Rhea came prepared. She shot a malicious look at Cerys, who was in James’ arms, and opened her mouth to speak. Cerys went ahead and talked before Rhea, “You sure are willing to go to lengths to break us up.” Her accusation and tearful eyes made her a convincing victim. Cerys was in the dark about the nature of evidence Rhea had. Still, her best option was to stop Rhea from producing the evidence just in case. Cerys skillfully turned the conversation on Rhea. To the naked eye, it looked as though Rhea caused a scene to split her husband and his mistress up. Even if Rhea could produce condemning evidence, she would lose credibility. Everybody would be fixated on Rhea’s motive. Since everybody assumed Rhea was merely trying to expose her husband’s affair, there was no telling whether the proof was genuine. Rhea glanced at Cerys before approaching the member of the organizing committee and whispering something in his ear. The committee member made a face and questi
