hear him chatter on instead of sulk.
He'd been through a lot.
I wondered how Karina was doing right now. Was she relieved she didn't have to sit through another boring party? Was she gazing at her piles of fine dresses and wishing she were all dressed up and ready to go?
What about Alissa?
Was she happy? Was George just a pawn in her game? Did she care about Karina's feelings at all, did she even care that she'd broken up a marriage?
I wanted to be spiteful of the young woman, to hate her for making Sebastian so upset.
But, in the end, the honest to God truth was that I couldn't bring myself to dislike her. I didn't know Alissa. I didn't know what she thought about or how she felt about herself. I didn’t know if she’d cried in her bed late at night, tormented over Karina’s sadness. I didn’t know if she’d even thought that far.
All that I knew was that it did not take a woman of dignity to steal a man so willing to cheat. This was going to come back and bite Alissa in the ass at some point. Karma would take care of everything.
Sebastian suddenly stopped talking, straightening as he glanced out the window.
From behind the glass, I could see the glow of lights decorating a large country club.
"We're here." Sebastian sighed, no excitement whatsoever lighting his eyes as he stared at the huge center.
I allowed him to help me out of the limosine, carefully brushing a wrinkle out of the chiffon gown.
Music spilled out onto the courtyard. From within the club, I could see figures dancing and moving about. I could hear their thrilled chatter.
It was time to make my debut as the billionaire’s bride.
Chapter Ten
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Macy." A man with white hair bowed low before me as though I were royalty, taking my hand softly kissing the back, "We've heard such lovely things about you." His British voice reminded me of Sebastian's, though this stranger's was much more frosty.
"It's a pleasure." I replied, struggling to keep a clam smile on my face. I'd already forgotten the man's name, as well as everyone else's.
I was going to have to find some back corner and have a drink.
More and more people floated our way, like zombies wandering towards a locked building with people hunkered down inside.
They said much of the same thing, over and over. Lots of 'pleasures' were exchanged and 'how do you do’s.' It was all very stiff, formal, and unbearable.
Fortunately enough, we had yet to come across George Davis and Alissa. I was sure, however, that his arrival with his new lover would be the drama of the evening. At least it would be something interesting.
As enticing as that sounded, however, I really didn't want to see the look on my husband's face when they arrived.
I still hadn't figured out what I could do to help him. It pained me that I was so useless in this complicated situation.
"I'm going to run to the ladies' room." I whispered in his ear, holding still as he planted a kiss on my cheek before darting away.
Tonight was all about show. Nothing meant anything, it was all just to make it seem as though we were the happiest, most in love newlyweds in the room.
This was why we got married after all, to show his corporation what a dedicated man Sebastian could really be.
I was sure on the inside that none of the older gentlemen here were in the dark of our situation, but the least we could do was fake it for them a bit longer.
The line into the small bathroom was way too long, I realized, as I approached it. There was only one stall and many women with too much champagne in their bellies.
I sighed, choosing to slide around the other side of the wall and plant myself in a chair. It wasn't long before a waiter circled around, offering me a glass of my own bubbly.
Too enthusiastically, I snatched it, downing it quickly before requesting another glass.
If there was anything that could make this night more bearable, it was alcohol. I only wished there was some tequila in the
