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

Chapter 33

Richie stands at the corner of the room as he stares at the drink on his hand swirling it deep in his own thoughts, he looks up as he hears a familiar voice before standing straight as the couple makes their way towards him.

"Is that brandy?" the woman asks as she takes the drink from his hand before gulping it in one go.

"Natalie" Rolfe chides his wife who ignores him before she smiles at Richie and goes to hug him.

"Just promise my husband does not kill me tonight" she whispers in his ear before she moves away and Rolfe frowns as he looks from Richie to his wife in question.

"Oh, cut it off with your stare I was just greeting him"

"You never greet anyone that way" Rolfe narrows his eyes.

"Of course, I do" Natalie smiles before she pushes her coat away from her shoulder and hands a passerby.

"Is there something I need to know?" Rolfe asks in confusion as he was not very sure of bringing his wife in the party who insisted that he bring her in today.

"The only thing you need to know honey is that you have two daughters sleeping soundly at home, who needs a mother" she pats his arm before she eyes around the room and walk away.

"I made a mistake bringing her here, did I not?" Rolfe asks Richie who shrugs his shoulder in answer.

"How are the girls?" Richie asks instead.

"Terrible" Rolfe sighs before he stands beside Richie and looks around.

"You alone tonight?" Rolfe asks and Richie sighs.

"I would not be sulking over here alone" he comments making Rolfe raise a brow.

"Trouble in paradise?"

"Salvatore threatened Alana and now she wants to leave with boys" he fills in, Rolfe squeezes Richie's shoulder showing his support.

*******

"Sal" Natalie calls out as she stands behind the man who turns around at once with a surprised face.

"Natalie, my, my...where...what?" he asks surprised before she puts her hand out for him to take.

"Well how can I refuse an invitation to one of the most happening party in the city?"

"But I don't remember inviting you" he frowns as she calls for the server for a drink.

"Ah, don't bother I personally take it as an invite to myself when every time my husband gets one. It's like we are a package deal, you call one you get another for free...

Wait till my girls are ready for all of these" she grins.

"Oh yes, congratulations though even if it's late and look at you" he gushes eyeing her from head to toe.

"Hard work pays off well, I was bored wearing my husband's boxers and shirts because my clothes would not fit in but now that I am back to shape, imagine my relief" she waves her hands around.

"I am sure Rolfe never minded"

"It's not about what Rolfe thinks it was more about the fact that he wore the shirt I had plan on being lazy in...

We got in a fight and of course what choice do I have, I tore it off his body had a great make up sex and decided I will have to be back in my old shape...

There is just so much shirts I can tear off" she sighs tiredly.

"Of course, of course" Salvatore laughs.
