CHAPTER 22

Adrian

I stand with Cameron on the side of the dance floor. We watch Joshua spin Natasha around as they both laugh. No one else is in the room for them.

I smile broadly. “Have you even seen him dance with a girl before?” I ask Cameron as I drink my drink.

“Nope” Cameron shakes his head as his eyes stay glued to the two of them.

“Me neither.” I smile. “He’s like a different person with her.”

Cameron frowns. “If I ever get that pussy whipped, please get me castrated.”

I laugh into my drink. “Me too.” Cameron shakes his head in disgust.

“What?” I ask.

He shakes his head and takes a swig of his beer. “How is this going to go when that silly bitch sends this email to Natasha, huh? What then? It will be Armageddon once more.”

My stomach drops as I run my hand through my hair. “I know. I am trying to get him to tell Natasha before that happens,” I mutter.

Cameron shakes his head in disgust. “Just pay the money and be done with it.”

I frown. “You can’t be that stupid! She will just keep coming back for more money and Natasha will finally find out,” I snap angrily.

“Can you imagine if Natasha sees that tape of him with her? She’ll lose it.”

“There’s a sex tape?” Abbie snaps from behind us. Fuck!

My horrified eyes meet Cameron’s.

“What are you talking about?” Cameron snaps.

“Who’s blackmailing Joshua?” she asks as she puts her hand on her hip. “Has he been fucking around again?” she sneers angrily.

I shake my head as I try to think quickly on my feet. What in the hell did she just hear?

Cameron’s eyes flick to me. “No, of course not!” he snaps angrily. “Stop eavesdropping.”

“You tell me right now or I am going to tell Natasha.” Her angry eyes move between the both of us.

Cameron’s nervous eyes flick to Natasha and Joshua who are now kissing on the dance floor. “I don’t know what you are talking about,” he snaps.

“I’m not stupid and I won’t tell Tash. I mean it, tell me!” Cameron’s eyes meet mine. “It was before he was with

Natasha.”

Abbie narrows her eyes. “Where?” she snaps.

I swallow the lump in my throat. “Here in Australia,” I whisper quietly.

She narrows her eyes. “Go on,” she sneers.

“Joshua was with a girl before he was with Natasha at the wedding,” Cameron says nervously as I take a drink.

“Yes, TC the prostitute,” she says.

Cameron frowns. “TC? What does that mean?”
