The Perfect Photoframe - A Dark Billionaire Romance [Photoframe Series Book #3]

2. Red-handed

"Oh, I still just can't just believe that you are married," Katherine pointed her chin at me while swirling her glass of white wine, with a smile on her face, "having a wife and all." She turned her face to her left side, towards Ron, who was cutting his steak effortlessly, with a mixed expression of politeness and reservedness. "It's really hard to believe."

"And why is that?" Ron put down his fork and knife and looked up at Katherine with an amused experience.

"I always thought you would marry someone only for business." Katherine glanced at me with that same smile on her face. "So, when I heard you married someone who didn't come from a big business family like you," I abruptly looked up at her. Katherine smiled at me kindly, "I mean, a different background." I tried to control it but my eyes slowly squinted at her. Why did I have a feeling that she was trying to humiliate me? Or it might be normal for rich people to talk like that about other people. Without caring how they would feel.

"Well, sometimes big businesses like us do things just for pleasure," He looked at me boldly, "and love." He had a naked expression of passion on his face. I got goosebumps as I realized it was only for me.

"I spent four years with you," Katherine raised her eyebrows at Ron, "and never realized that you are so....romantic."

"Because I never showed you this side of mine ." Ron smirked as he picked up his wine glass.

"That's a...shame." She tilted her head with raised left brow at him. I spoke up before Ron could answer her.

"Or maybe..." I smiled sweetly at her, "It's your loss."

I could see her eyes twitched a little but she was still keeping that polite smile on her face.

"So, I guess you are the lucky one here." She leaned back on her chair's back-rest.

"No, I am the lucky one to have her," Ron said out and slowly intertwined his fingers with mine. "I am glad, my charm worked on you." He stared at me intensely.

"That's very romantic Ron." Katherine raised her wine glass. "To our lovely couple."

Ron also raised his glass.

"Thank you."

Katherine looked at me with a friendly smile on her face.

I smiled back and joined them.

"Right," just as Katherine was about to climb into her car, she turned towards us, "I am having a party this weekend. With some old friends. You remember Derek and Thomas?"

"Yeah, kinda." Ron answered calmly but the expression on his face clearly screamed that he didn't even bother to remember them.

"They will also fly over here to attend the party." She smiled sweetly at Ron. "They are very excited to meet you after so many years." I was just standing between them and listening to their conversation. "You too, Liza." She then turned to me. "It will be a little boring for you as you don't know anyone in the party. But please try to come over."
