Regal : Majestic (Book #1) The Russo Series {Completed}

Chapter 06

Alana sips on her drink as her eyes stays on her husband who was still standing with the girl she met earlier and both of them seem to be in some deep conversation.

The girl was literally hanging on to every words he was speaking, while she did had the thought to walk towards them and ruin the conversation but she stayed away wanting to see how long will he forget he was in the party with his wife.

She rolls her eyes as the girl lightly touches Richie's arm stepping closer to him and she puts her glass down when Richie touches her hand.

"Oh come on" she groans before walking away from the party.

"Why bring me here if he had someone already?" she grumbles walking out to the balcony to get some fresh air.

"Alana" a voice from behind her makes her turn to come face to face with Nicholas Price.

"What are you doing here?" she asks turning to face him.

"Just what you are doing" he smiles walking out of the dark.

"Cursing my husband?" she asks making him smile.

"Getting fresh air"

"Should not you be inside having some deal finalized?" she asks and he just shakes his head no.

"You should not be out alone, not everyone standing in the dark is for fresh air" he points out and she sighs.

"I can take care of myself"

"I am sure but won't it be better to stay out of the trouble instead of having to take care of things?" he asks and she groans.

"Fine, fine I am going in" she grumbles as she walks inside the party while he follows.

*******

"What are you two doing?" Richie asks as he finds both of them walking out of the balcony.

"Getting fresh air in the dark corners" she grumbles as she tries to walk away but Richie holds her hand pulling her to his side.

"Dark corners?" he asks raising a curious brow towards Nicholas who chuckles.

"Later" Nicholas speaks walking away and Richie turns to face his wife.

"I was looking for you" he speaks.

"Oh really, well did not see you turning away from little Abi while I was standing and staring at you two. She is beautiful, looks like your type always wanting to please you" she comments and Richie pulls her towards the buffet.

"You must be hungry" he speaks.

"Oh, now you realize" she states but he just ignores her.

"Mind if we join?" someone asks and both their head turns to see their host along with Abigail standing with their plates and Richie gets up to pull Abi's chair while Alana just stares at the chivalry her husband did not showed to her.

"So, are you enjoying the party?" their host asks and Alana nods her head stuffing the food in her mouth while her eyes stays on Abi who whispers something to her husband who nods his head before he pushes the glass of his water towards her.

All through the dinner she stays quiet stopping herself from jumping over the table and snap at her husband who was being attentive to the girl, finally as they are done she gets up announcing she wants to go home.

"Why?" Abi speaks sadly.

"Abi, ask that question to yourself when you get married. Why you want to go to bed so early" Alana cannot help but states as she wraps her arm around Richie who speaks few words to their host and with their goodbye's they leave.
