“What? You don’t want your best friend here to celebrate with you?” he asks.
“No, Luca,” Sloane and I say at the same time.
“Fine, fine. I wouldn’t want to hang out with thieves like you anyway,” Luca says as he walks back to the bar.
I grin. “I wouldn’t want to hang out with a liar like you either.”
He smiles and waves. Then, he leaves Sloane and me to celebrate.
“So, what are you hungry for, future Mrs. Calder?”
“You. And, just so you know, I’m keeping my name.”
I sigh. “As long as I get to call you my wife, I don’t care.” I stare at Sloane as she looks down at her ring and then back up at me. Her whole body is glowing with excitement. But even through the excitement I know that she is hiding something from me. And I know exactly what that secret is. I cornered Chance, the bastard lawyer that was in her bed. It was easy to persuade him to tell me the truth. I can seem pretty intimidating when I’m angry and threaten to cause him pain.
She never slept with him. She just paid him to pretend that they were cheating. And the look in her eyes now confirms his story.
I won’t tell her that I know her secret. It’s a lie I bet she plans on taking to her grave. It may not be as bad as ruining someone’s life like I did, but it is still a lie. I stole her heart, she lied to claim mine. All that matters is that we love each other.
THE END
