Willow's POV

“We have a party to attend,” that was literally the first thing I heard once I opened the door.

“Whose party?” I asked and he sighed as he poured himself whiskey into a glass.

“Vincent Chan. He is a Chinese man owning a couple of gangs I like,” he said and I nodded sitting next to him. He looked exhausted but I guess it is what you get for trying to own a mafia and trying to be on top.

“When is the party?” I asked and he looked at the watch on his wrist.

“In six hours. We will leave here by seven, wear something you feel comfortable in as we may stay there for the whole night. And I heard that winter here is bad***,” I took the glass from him and took a sip.

“Why don’t you take Angelica?” I asked and he chuckled taking the glass from me and taking a sip himself.

“Mr. Chan wants my wife, it’s you whom he wants to me and it’s you whom he will meet,” he stated and I nodded my head. I took the glass from him and gulped its contents.

“I’ll go get ready,” he nodded and took the glass from me. I got up and headed to my room, when I got there, I didn’t get ready. I was tired so I took a nap.

When I woke up, it was almost six. I walked to the bathroom and took a shower, brushed my teeth, and dried my hair. I walked to the bedroom and put on my panties. I walked to the closet and picked a dress. It was cute and I love whoever bought it. I wasn't gonna walk around all night in high heels so I put on my flats. I couldn't button the dress so I took my clutch and put my gun in it before putting my ring on.

I walked downstairs and found Sean with Bradley and Brielle

I walked downstairs and found Sean with Bradley and Brielle. That means Angelica will be coming too. Just great.

“Can you help me here?” I asked and he nodded. He stood behind me and went to button the dress. His hands accidentally touched my skin and I flinched. His hands were cold. Like really, really cold.

“Where is Angelina?" I asked and Brielle looked at her watch.

“It’s Angelica. She will be here in ten,” she said and I looked at Sean who looked pissed at the answer. Didn’t he know she was coming or did he get offended by how I was answered?

“Your neck is naked,” Sean said and Floyd got in. I touched my neck and he looked at me up and down.

“And your face too,” Floyd said and I looked between him and Sean. Did I look ugly without makeup or jewellery?

“I don’t use makeup,” not cause I don’t want to but because I don’t know how to and I don’t have the energy to stay in front of the mirror to be pretty for guys like Sean or Floyd. Sean left the room and I took the charm bracelet Mariah got me and put it on.

“Here,” Sean said handing me a small box. I looked at the box and then back at him, he nodded as if encouraging me to take the box and I did. I opened it and looked at him, it was a necklace that had a gun in the middle with W.B carved just at the back.

“It’s beautiful,” I said, he nodded and took the box from me. He stood behind me and put the necklace around my neck. My eyes landed on Floyd who was staring at me and wanting to see my reaction. He looked handsome with his black Armani suit. He looked like the mafia leader and not an assassin.

“Sorry I’m late!” Angelica shouted and I looked at her, she stared at the necklace and then at my dress. I think it is safe for me to say I hate her more than I despise Kimberley.

“No need to make noise about it,” Sean mumbled and I rolled my eyes. They have a complicated relationship, yesterday they were touchy and clingy and now the other is annoyed at the other.

“We can go now,” Sean said and his hand travelled down until it was on my lower back. Angelica was staring at the hand like it would fall as soon as she said ah and Floyd on the other hand, looked pissed. And that made him hot.

“Where is Willow going?” Angelica asked and both of us looked at Sean for a reply. His eyes met mine and somehow he looked like he understood what my eyes were saying; Stop her before I blow her head off. He nodded and looked at Angelica.

“She is my wife. What did you expect?” Sean asked and I gave her a side before walking with Sean out of the house.

“Why do you keep her anyway?” I asked Sean when he led me to the limousine that was waiting for us in the driveway.

“She keeps my bed warm,” he answered honestly and I sighed dramatically. We found Darius with Celine in the Limo and to say I didn’t wish to be Celin would be an understatement. She looked like a goddess.

“I just wonder how she is in bed, is she good?” I asked Sean once he sat next to me. He raised an eyebrow and watched as Angelica got in followed by Brielle then Bradley. Floyd was the last one to get in and sit next to Sean.

“Yeah, she’s fine,” he replied and Angelica gave me a death glare from where she was sitting.

The vehicle started moving and Celin and Darius also started flirting.
“Sean baby, I need some-” Sean cut her off.

“I think we should keep it to me being Sean for the night,” she gasped and looked at Sean then at me. Like I had just told Sean how to reply to her stupid face.

“Then what is the use of me coming to this stupid party?” She asked and I sighed looking at Sean.

“You are going there as the third guest,” he answered and I looked at Angelica. She was fuming. If the car air was filled with gasoline, we would have bombed away.

“I am so over you! Over you!” She yelled at Sean, and I raised an eyebrow. The ride was starting to get interesting.

“What do you mean?” Sean asked and she chuckled before crossing her arms over her chest.

“I mean, whatever we had between us is over! I no longer wanna be your fuck buddy or whatever I was,” she said rudely and I looked at Sean who didn’t have any emotion on his face whatsoever.

“Okay then,” he finally said and I sighed then fiddled with my bracelet, I was getting tired with every word Angelica shouted. She has the power to drain you like a fucking parasite.

“Even better, stop the car. I'm heading back home!” she yelled and Jace stopped the car, she got out and slammed the door and started hiking.

“Do you think it’s safe to let her walk alone this late?” I asked Sean and he scoffed without replying.

“Give her ten seconds,” Bradley said and I raised an eyebrow.

“Three... Two... And now,” the door opened and Angelica climbed in. I looked at Sean and he rolled his eyes. The limo started moving again for about twenty minutes before it totally stopped.

Jace opened the door for us and my jaw dropped. The house was huge like very big. With a small fountain on the middle. It was even beautiful as it was night-time. Sean placed his hand on my lower back and led me to the door. He mumbled few things to the guard before pulling me gently with him inside. Angelica avoided me like a plague for the time being. Its not like I care, she is doing me a favour anyways.

“Ah, Mr. and Mrs. Bernardo,” a chinese man said and I looked at him with a smile. He must be the host of the party.

“Mr. and Mrs. Chan, nice party you got here. This is my wife, Mrs. Willow Bernardo,” Sean said and Mr. Chan smiled looking at my exposed leg.

“Nice to meet you,” he said holding his hand out. I went to shake it but he grabbed mine and kissed it.

“A queen indeed,” he said and Sean nodded his head. Floyd walked over to us and handed me a handkerchief. I wiped my hand and gave him a nice smile handing him his cloth back.

“I’m Viola, how about you come with me so we can leave the men to talk man business?” I nodded my head and she pulled me to wherever. Thank god I was wearing flats or I would have hit the ground with my face by now.

“Nice party Vee,” one of the ladies said and Viola curtsied.

“Don't I know it all. Ladies, this is Willow Bernardo,” she introduced and the ladies gasped.

“As in like, the wife of Sean Bernardo from Roseedge?” One of the ladies asked. She had blonde hair that was tied in a cute high ponytail.

“Yes. This is Scarlet, this is Bianca, this is Vennese, this is Julietta and next to her is Patience,” she introduced us and I smiled at them.

“Tell me,” Patience said and the Ladies closed in on her. “How is Mr. Bernardo in bed?”

“Is he good?”
“When are you planning to have kids?”
“Aren't you too young to be married to a thirty year old man?”
“What size is he?”

Those were the questions I got from all of them. I smiled when they all looked at me. All of them were twice my age if not older. Apart from Bianca and Vennese, they looked same age as me if not two years older.

“He is good. We are not planning on having kids yet,” I said and they nodded.

“I have daughters. One of them is eighteen and the other one is sixteen,” Mrs. Chan said and I nodded. They started talking about other stuff that I knew nothing about.

“I'm going to grab a drink,” I said and walked away. I took a glass of champagne and took a sip.

“Why is a beautiful girl like you standing alone?” A man voice asked and I looked up. It was a bald man and totally not my type. I just wanted to go home and sleep.

“She is not alone,” Floyd said and the man raised his hands in surrender before walking away.

“I am not a damsel and I am not in distress,” I said and he chuckled holding my hand and pulling me to the dance floor were couples were having one of the slow ones.

“I know, but don’t tell me you wanted a guy like that hitting on you,” he joked and I rolled my eyes. His Nutella breath fanned my face, it was mixed with alcohol. He rested his lips on my forehead and swayed me to the beat.

“You look beautiful,” he said and leaned his lips to my ear.
“So sexy.”

“I am married.”

“To a coward, some SpongeBob guy,” he said and I chuckled.

“Better than the Nutella guy,” his chest rumbled before a soft laugh left his lips. It was my first time hearing his laugh, and I was in love with it. Call it love at first hearing.

“You are sexy, Willow.”

“What are you gonna do about it?” before he could answer. His watch started beeping a red light. He looked at it then pulled away from him.

“Hold that thought, I will answer it tonight.”

“It’s night,” he brought his lips down to mine and rested them there for a few seconds before pulling away.

“When it’s really night,” he said and took off his jacket before wrapping it around me. I watched as he hurriedly walked out of the house. I walked to Sean who was talking to the face and Darius.

“Are you enjoying yourself?” he asked and I rolled my eyes.

“Can I go home and just sleep?” I asked and he shook his head while Darius laughed at him.

“At least it is not only my lady that is bored to hell by this party,” he said between laughs and I looked at Sean.

“Why the hell are you here!?”
