Unideal Romance

Chapter Sixteen.

"What the heck are you doing here?" He grabbed her hand as she made to open Rissa's door.

She grinned. "I heard you brought in a mistress." She tried to get her hand out. "Am I not allowed to see her at least?" She saw how nervous he looked.

"Don't cause a nuisance, I have guests." He caught her other hand. "We can talk later." He said in a low-pitched voice as he glanced down at the guests looking up, obviously they were curious and they also were familiar with Diane and their damned marriage.

She giggled drily. "It's always about you but I don't care, let me go this minute or I might scream." She threatened glaring into his flaming eyes.

He made no move to give in. "Tom! Ric!!" He called at his men who came running up the stairs immediately.

"Sir!!" They both chorused.

"Take her out of here, if you must drag her. Do that." He ordered them.

"If you lay those filthy hands on me, you both are dead, you ingrates!! I recommended you both to him, I literally got you this job but you will turn against me." She barked at them.

Just when they made to take her out, the door flew open and Rissa came out looking like she woke up from sleep because her eyes looked haggard.

Diane slipped her hands out immediately she got the chance. "Is this who I'm up against?" She turned to Rissa who seemed puzzled. "I thought you had a great taste, honey." She gave Luke a glimpse.

Honey? What was happening here?? Rissa turned to Luke for answers but he looked out of it, who was this woman? Whoever she was, she had no right to speak to her the way she did.

"Who are you, please?" Rissa made sure she was as calm as possible.

"Isn't she a darling?" She chuckled sarcastically. "Well, I'm Diane Maddins. His wife."

What did she just say? What had she just heard? She turned to Luke again for help but he avoided her eyes, was this woman saying the truth!!!

"And you are a mistress? Well, that's what whores like you would do." She said trying to piss Rissa at the moment considering the fact that she looked weak.

"Diane!!!" Luke grabbed her hand.  "Don't you ever call her that!!" He fired.

"Huhn? Are you yelling at me because of her, the court won't believe you guys. This is a joke." She snatched her hand away from him.

"Call me any god-damned thing but that. " Rissa closed the gap between them, their feet literally touched.
"I don't know you and I don't know what is happening but I'll warn you to watch your mouth."

She was  clapping with smiles. "Isn't that interesting? The chick wants to fly, you should know your space and know that you will always be the option." She gave Rissa a final look and walked away with a confident smile.

Rissa wanted to rip the blonde so bad, what a rude and arrogant bitch, there was no way she would even do any of that as long as she had no idea of what was happening or all she said about being Luke's wife was true but it seemed so because he didn't deny it in anyway but why did they not live together, she had mentioned court and all. She was confused.

"Can we talk now?" Rissa was fuming.

"Tom, see the guests off." He turned to him. "This way-" Luke walked along the hallways and into the large space at the end of it.

"Who is she?" That was the first thing she needed to know. "Your wife?" She asked again.

"Technically." He replied.
