“I should leave,” he says in a quiet voice.
“There is something I want to talk about… can I call you later?” I ask hesitantly. It’s odd talking to him with my eyes still blindfolded.
“Sure,” he says, then I hear the balcony door open and shut.
I pull down his tie from my eyes and the gleaming lights over the city look even more beautiful. I am feeling a strange sense of bliss and still breathing heavily.
How could he walk away? He must be damn good with self–control.
My legs are still jelly, and juices are running down my thighs. I put my head on the wall and try to contemplate. This is unlike me.
For some reason, I grin like a fool.
Whatever. It was interesting.
After a while, I walk towards the washroom to clean myself up.
And of course Della has to break my spell.
She corners me in the bathroom and Suddenly a dread rises inside me. Did she see me with M?
M had pushed me towards a corner before kissing the hell out of me. Nobody could see us. I blush again thinking about doing inappropriate things at the party.
“Keep your distance from Ethan,” she breaks my spell with her high–pitched annoying voice.
Arghh.. With pleasure..
I roll my eyes and walk away.
She grabs my arm again, and I snap at her. “Next time you grab my arm Della, or try to push or slap me. I will file assault charges against you. The hell with the united front for the media!”

She looks perplexed and leaves my arm.
“Just tell me what you and Ethan talked about.” she hisses at me.
I squint my eyes,
Why is she asking me?
Can’t she ask Ethan?
I frown. Doesn’t she trust him?
“He wanted me back,” I tell her calmly. “And… he wanted to kiss me.” I smirk at her.
She shakes her head and grits her teeth. “You are lying!”
I shrug. “Maybe,” I say as I walk away from her.
I want to laugh. Don’t tell me Ethan is cheating on her too. I wouldn’t be surprised, though.
Once a cheater, always a cheater.
The way he wanted to kiss me and the way Della questioned me. It looks like there is trouble in their
paradise and I am loving it. This evening suddenly turned much better.
Rest of the evening I keep glancing around to make guesses who M could be. Is he still here? Or did he leave the party? He must be amused, watching me, searching for him.
“Avery,” Dad calls me out as I am talking to some of the guests.
I turn and see Ethan standing next to dad.
Oh fucking great. I excuse myself from the guest I am talking to and walk towards them.
Stand tall. I tell myself as I feel a little anxious. Did he tell dad about my marriage?
Shit, I haven’t even talked to M about it. I wanted to be completely sober before throwing the bombshell at him. Will it be a breach of contract? The contract didn’t mention anything about it. But I am sure about one thing. M wanted to keep it a secret.

“Ethan suggested we should have lunch the day after tomorrow. Can you stay here for-”
“Dad! it’s not fair. I told you I am going back tomorrow evening.” I touch his arm with an apologetic
smile.
He sighs. “How can I make you stay?”
“I will keep visiting you. I promise.”
I can notice Ethan looking at me intently but I don’t throw much glance at him.
He finally says, “Well, in that case we can meet for lunch tomorrow. I am sure everyone would love to talk to you, Avery.”
I want to roll my eyes.
“I actually talked to most of them.”
I did not. And I have no intention.
“Ethan, can you give us a minute?”
He nods and walks away and dad says, “I know it’s hard for you. But…”
“Yes… I know dad. United family front! But isn’t this too early for you to expect all this from me?”
He sighs.
“I want to tell you something,” He says and my eyes widen.
What news does he have for me now?
“But not here… come home tonight so we can talk in the morning while having breakfast.”
“Dad, my stuff is in the hotel.”
He smiles ruefully at me. “Do you hate me this much Avery?” he says and I instantly feel bad.
“Your luggage can be bought home I will ask Orin to do that”
“I don’t hate you!” I tell him in a low voice, then I add. “Okay… I will stay for the night.”

Some board members join us, and we immerse ourselves in talking to them. Dad happily boasts about my music company and I blush profusely.
Dad never paid attention to my work before or praised me. it feels odd to hear all these praises from
his mouth.
“Now that she is back you can retire peacefully,” A guest says and my eyes widen.
Dad smiles at him. “Well… we will see about that.”
“You are retiring?” I exclaim.
He chuckles and pats my back. “We have catching up to do. Let’s talk tomorrow morning.”
He engages himself in conversation with business partners and I take a leave from them.
If Dad is retiring how will the business run. Della was crappy at her job. Did she get any better or is
she still the same?
“I don’t believe what you said,” Ethan’s voice breaks my chain of thoughts and I turn and look at him.
He still looks good.
I scoff internally. He is on the eligible bachelor list for a reason. Only if they could mention his
characteristics.
Not faithful and a pretentious asshole.
“What?”
“That you are married. If you are then who is the guy?”
“Believe whatever you want,” I say indifferently.
“I told your dad I want to break off engagement with Della and marry you.”
“You WHAT?”
“I am serious about you Avery. I always was. it was just a rough patch.”
Can you believe this Guy?

“Must be real good rough patch where you fucked my sister day and night.” I shake my head at him.
I walk away from him only to bump into Della. She looks at me furiously. She clearly heard Ethan.
“Save your fiance honey,” I drawl at her and leave the party.
I will go mad if I have to bump into her or Ethan one more time. I cannot believe how easily he said he wants to break–off the engagement and marry me.
Fucker. I hate him all over again.
I tell dad that I am going to the hotel and will come to the Collins mansion at night with my luggage.
“Oh honey, Orin will pick it up. You don’t have to-,” he says, but I cut him in the middle.
“Dad, I have to meet Lena. I will come home before midnight… We will talk tomorrow.” I assure him.
I walk towards my car in the parking lot, feeling quite triumph about the night. As I sit in my car, a
knock at my car window startles me.
“Hey! Can you give me a lift?”
My heartbeat quickens as I see Hot Jerk from 903 standing there.
I stay frozen in my spot, shell–shocked.
“You owe me one after that night in my room after all,” He says and I flush all over again.
