Chapter 44
Gabriel
I think of how different things would have been if we had ended up together.
This wedding would be Vee’s worst nightmare. Mine too.
Lost between two worlds…
She flicks her tongue over my end and my cock weeps in appreciation. I grab two handfuls of her hair and push my cock between her two lips, it slowly slides down her throat.
A million sensations, my balls contract as they get ready to fire and I feel the heat of her perfect mouth around me. “Suck me,” I growl. “Harder.” Suction vibrates through my body and I begin to
lose control.
So good, so fucking good.
I slam my cock down her throat and begin to ride her mouth hard. She gags and I go deeper. “Suck me dry.” We fall into a rhythm. “You swallow every last drop I give you.” I go faster, deeper. “Take it
all.”
Her moans only make me harder, and I’m about to explode, her fingernails dig into my quad
muscles and I lose it.
I slam in and hold myself deep as I come down her throat, my breathing is jagged as I struggle for air. Perspiration sheens my body as I look down at her and she

Vee.
I jerk awake, and as I gasp for air, I look around the darkened bedroom to see Ariana fast asleep beside me.
The room is silent and calm, so unlike the hot place I’ve just visited.
I can feel that I’ve just ejaculated, and I drag my hands through my hair.

“Leave,” I snap. “My next appointment is here.”
They laugh and chatter as they pack up their bullshit surprises and then slip into the sky–high heels.
I watch them for a moment, beautiful, immaculately groomed, both in designer clothing, perfectly styled dark hair with not a thing out of place, and I have an out–of–body realization that I am marrying my mother’s younger twin.
The thought is disturbing, how haven’t I seen this before?
Ariana kisses my cheek and my mother kisses the other and then they breeze out of my .ce just as they entered.
A whirlwind of glamor.
The door closes behind them and my office falls silent. I try to concentrate, but instead I walk to the window and stare out over the view of New York. I slide my hands into my suit pockets and my
mind drifts to Greenville…with her.

Chapter 44
Fuck..
I pant as I try to catch my breath, it was just a dream.
It’s okay, it was just a dream.
Who am I kidding, it was a fucking nightmare.
I wait in the restaurant and sip my scotch, it’s my monthly lunch date with my beloved friend Claire.
Claire and I have been close for over ten years, she’s cool and calm and hilariously dry. Funnily enough, she married one of my enemies,

I remind myself, whatever you do today, don’t say anything about the recent events.

life.
She waddles through the restaurant and when I see her, I laugh out loud as I stand to greet her.
“What’s so funny?” She kisses my cheek.
“Why are you walking like that?”
“Pilates instructor from hell.” She laughs and sits down opposite me. “My ass is grass. I’m on a health kick that’s about to kill me.” “It’s working. You are glowing.” I smile.
“Oh, I’ve got so much to tell you.” She jabbers on as she takes her jacket off. “Why didn’t you back last week, by the way?” Before I can answer, she talks over me again.
“You won’t believe what Patrick has gone and done.”

I smile as I listen, something about Claire Anderson brings me a sense of calm. We met not long after her first husband died and for some reason we just clicked. She rants and raves while I listen and she’s probably the most normal person I know…apart from Vee.
“What did he do?” I sip my scotch.
“He thought he would start Tristan’s Aston up in the garage…” She looks down at my drink. “Why are

you drinking scotch at lunchtime?”
I roll my eyes. “Sorry, Mom.”
“Anyway, why he did it, I do not know, and the car jumped out of gear, lurched forward and hit the
brick wall.” I chuckle as I imagine the scenario.
“And Tristan is away in Paris and I’m trying to get it fixed before he gets back because he’s going to go absolutely postal.”
“When does he get back?”
“The day after tomorrow.”
“No chance.”
“Why, why not?” She puts her hand up to catch the waiter’s attention, “All I want is a glass of wine, this healthy crap sucks. Anyway, everyone is saying that they can’t fix it at short notice, I mean, it’s one little ding and a bumper, how hard can that be to do?”
I lean my face on my hand as I listen to her chaos, and I smile.
“Anyway, I told Patrick he has to pay for it, and then…”
“Does he have a spare thirty thousand dollars?”
“What?”
“It’s an Aston Martin, it isn’t going to be three hundred bucks, Claire.”
“Ugh…” She rolls her eyes. “Why does he have to have such a wanky car, anyway?”
“Because he’s a wanker.” I sip my drink.
“So…” She finally falls calm as her eyes find mine. “How are you?” My face falls before I can catch it.
“What’s wrong?” She frowns.

“Nothing.”
“Galiriel,” she warns. “Don’t lie to me, your face just told me that something is wrong.”
After Divorce
Chapter 44
I stare at her for a moment.
“Gabe.” She takes my hand over the table. “Is it Ariana?” “No.” I shake my head.
“The wedding?”
I drag my hand down my face.
Her face falls. “The wedding…what about the wedding?”
“You cannot tell anybody this.”
“It’s me, you know I won’t.”
“So…” I pause while I try to articulate my thoughts. “Last week I saw Violet Coleman.”
“Oh, Vee, there’s a blast from the past.” She smiles. “What’s she doing now?”
“Living in Maine with two of my children.” She frowns, not understanding. “What?” “We…” I stop myself.
“Gabriel, spit it out.”
“Before she left me seven years ago, we spent a night together.” “How do I not know this?”
“She fell pregnant and never told me, I recently found out I have six–yearold twins. A boy and a girl. We have the paternity test results; they are definitely mine.”
Her eyes widen in horror. “What. The. Hell?” She puts her head into her hands. “How could she not tell you?”
