041: THE VAUGHN SECRET

~~Selene~~Rain doesn’t allow the conversation with Noah to fester before he pulls me away. Fortunately, reporters are not in the hall to shove their cameras in our faces, but the stares we get from the guests are just as nosy as any camera could be.Rain leans into me, his breath fanning against my shoulder. “They are watching us.”“I can tell.”“You know what this means, right?” I expel a sigh, looking up at him. I don’t know if it’s the night light, but he looks majestic right now. His green grey eyes seem enchanting, like it would be so easy to drown in them. Clearing my throat, I drag my gaze away and whisper back. “We need to give them a show.”His hand drops to my waist, pulling me closer. An inaudible gasp escapes my lips at the contact. His palm settles against the small of my back, fingers spread out. “Selene,” Rain calls in a low tone. “No one will believe that we are deeply in love if you keep getting flustered whenever I touch you.”I tip my head back, a brow raised. “A

~~Selene~~She walks to the sink and turns the tap on, placing her hands beneath it. “Your ring is the talk of the night. You really know how to grab attention, don’t you?”“Rain insisted I wear it.”A mirthless chuckle leaves her lips. She grabs a napkin, dabs at her hands, then turns to me. “Are you flaunting that in my face?”“No, Miss Wu.” For Pete’s sake, I have had enough drama for one night.

If I were you, I wouldn't read too much into the gestures he’s making for you.”“You don’t know about Rain.”“I dated him for twelve years. No one knows him better than me.”I roll my eyes and slip my lipstick back into the clutch. “Since we’re advising each other, let me give you one of my own.”She arches a brow, a look of surprise flashing across her face. “You’re a beautiful woman, Ava. I think it’s pathetic that y

~~Rain~~Noah averts his gaze instantly. That’s all the confirmation I need that my hunch is right. My teeth grind against each other. How dare he? How dare he lace her drink with an aprodisiac? In what world is that even right at all?“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”I spring up, my vision blurry with fury. Noah glances at the crowd, and it reminds me that we’re still in front of people. Pushing saliva down my throat, I slide the lid of the pen back on. Noah stands too, causing the hall to erupt in another round of applause. He stretches a hand out, applying the perfect role of a professional business partner. I take it and pose for the cameras, but I can't for the life of me fake a smile.“Meet me outside. Now.”The guests continue to clap even as we storm outside. As soon as we are in the garden outside the hall, I grab Noah by his collar and deal a blow to his face.“What the fuck is wrong with you, man?” Noah groans. “You drugged my wife.”Blood roars in my ears.
