“Are we expecting anyone?” Nova asked her husband.
“I asked Lucien to come to dinner.”
I had a wine glass halfway to my mouth and then sputtered.
Astrid shot me a look across the table and I quickly recovered. Above the rim of the crystal goblet, I watched as Liam went to let in his guest. Never had I thought I would run into this man at their dinner table.
Well, he works for them dummy,I thought.But that doesn’t mean he eats dinner with them, remember he was always home while you were fucking kidnapped by him.
Good damn point,I thought again.
It was a few minutes and then Liam reappeared. Behind him was a brooding Lucien and a blonde bombshell dressed for a club somewhere. She seemed vaguely familiar.
“Hey everybody,” Lucien waved to everyone.
The moment his eyes landed on me, a smirk appeared on his face. He never took his eyes away from me, even when he whispered in the blonde's ear.
“Everybody, this is Yasmine,” he introduced her.
By then more chairs had been added to the table. They took their seat side by side and I averted my gaze. Nova who was sitting beside me nudged my hand.
“You okay?” She whispered.
“Honestly?” I whispered back to her, my throat feeling tight.
“Yes.”
“My stomach feels kind of upset,” I stated. “Where’s your bathroom.”
Nova gave me directions and I excused myself from the table. Hurrying around the corners, I realized I must have taken a wrong turn. Turning back, I collided with the one person I was trying to get the hell away from.
“Little Angel,” he whispered. “What are you doing here?”
