CHAPTER THREE

Nicholas Daniels. Nicholas Daniels. Nicholas Daniels.

The name kept ringing in my head, that bastard prodigal son had returned just to take everything from me, the excitement in the room became just a big blur to me as everyone pushed me to the back of the room just to see the infamous heir to the D&D empire. I had not realized how hard i had been gripping the champaigne glass till i heard it crack in my hand, my throat had clogged up and i couldn't breath properly, my eyes had become glassy with tears that were threatening to fall. Through my blurry vision i watched a young man take the centre stage, dressed in a navy blue designer tux as he greeted his father with a handshake before turning to the crowd to make another speech. The moment his face came into view i dropped the glass i was holding, he still possessed the signature smirk he wore the night we had met, his hair was still the same; short and neat. Everything from his physique where still as I remembered utterly gorgeous, he was very tall and athletic and i knew that on a more intimate level, images of that one passionate night two years ago resurfaced in my mind and i could feel my knees getting weaker. How the hell had i slept with husband's son and not know it?

By this time i was already hyperventilating, how had everything gone wrong in one night? How can one person easily be the one to crumble my world? I felt someone tug my hand forward, they dragged me out of the room and back upstairs to one of the  guest rooms balcony, my brain was a bit too traumatized to be able to register what was going on but i knew for sure that Alex had been the one to drag me up here "Hey, hey look at me. It's going to be okay, i just need you to breathe and drink this." she told me leading me to a chair where she handed me a glass of water, my hands were shaking and being out here in the chilly night didn't help the cause. Alex kept whispering about how everything was going to be okay but i knew it wasn't, all that hard work had been for nothing, how dare Craig humiliate me like that and how dare he even open his arms to that good for nothing, spoilt, ungrateful son of b****, my sadness and shock quickly morphed into anger and damn was i livid.

"NO!"

i screamed when i found my voice again, throwing the glass i had in my hand to the nearest wall. I saw Alex visibly flinch but didn't try to calm me down, she knew i needed to let it out. With tears running down my face i picked up chair and threw it at the wall again.

"HOW DARE HE?!"

i screaming whilst flipping the table breaking everything that was on it, spotting bottles of wine in an outdoor cabinet, i grabbed them and threw two of them at the wall splashing the wine all over my dress and i didn't care.

"AFTER EVERYTHING I HAVE DONE FOR THAT OLD MAN, THIS IS HOW HE REPAYS ME?!"

i was seething and still not satisfied with the damage i had made, i wanted to go down there and shout profanaties at my husband and his  ass of a son but i knew better. I finally allowed exhaustion to take over and i slumped on the cold floor with a surviving bottle of red wine in hand, using the little strength i had, i opened it and gulped down the contents not stopping till it was snatched out of my hand.

"If you are done with your little temper tantrum, we can talk like adults."

Alex led me to my bedroom and told me to clean myself whilst she fished for a replacement dress since i had ruined the one i had on. After taking a five minute shower i began dressing up again, Alex came back holding a black dress in her hand.

"You are lucky i brought two, now put this own." she demanded as she cascaded through my closet for another pair of shoes.

I put the dress on and to say it was beautiful was an understatement, the dress was just as sinful as the first but more sophisticated, it had long sleeves that were held together by diamond embroidery, it was backless and dipped all the way down, just above my bottom leaving the rest to imagination. Alex blow-dried my hair before pulling it into a pony tail whilst i did my make-up.

"It's him."

i spoke dryly after being silent for a while, Alex eyed me curiously wondering what i was talking about,

"Who's him?" she asked as she handed me the silver strap heels from my closet.

"Nicholas Daniels. He is the guy from the club, the one i had that mindblowing one night stand with."

I watched my bestfriend as she processed what i had just told her, i remembered how i had gushed about my amazing one night stand with a stranger at the bar to her. I wish i could say i regretted it but God knows i didn't, being with him had been too good for me to start regretting right now. Alex eventually got over her initial shock and sat down beside me with a frown on her face.

"Well, maybe things aren't as bad as they seem. Something good may just come out of this revelation my dear friend. Now i want you to go down there and show everyone who is supposed to run D&D." she told me with a pat on the back.

I knew she was right and that i shouldn't show how much my husband's decision affected me, even he didn't deserve to see my world crumble like this. So with a mission in hand, i pulled myself together and took a sip from the wine bottle, plastered my best fake smile. Momma wanted me to be an actress, so tonight i was going to make momma proud.
