“Did she tell me?” She nodded and smiled. “Seems your little girlfriend, I mean ex-girlfriend found Jesus.”
“That’s not true.” He refused to believe the words coming out of his wife’s mouth.
“Oh, but it is. Seems she found a man who was willing to commit to her. I’ll give you credit, you’ve got great taste in women. She’s beautiful, talented and smart. Heck, if I were a man, I’d have tapped that, too.” She continued walking around the beautifully decorated apartment.
“Stop it.”
“Am I making you uncomfortable?” she asked. “So what are we going to do?”
“Call it the past and move forward.”
“That’s funny. Except for one little thing.” She bent down and whispered. “I knew.”
“What?” He looked shocked at her words.
She repeated herself in his other ear. “I…knew.” He jumped up and looked at her. “What’s wrong?”
“What are you talking about?”
She stood up straight and repeated herself again. “I knew.”
“For how long?”
“About four years.” Olivia confessed, smiling. “Don’t look so surprised.”
“Four years?”
“Yep.”
“Then why did you marry me?” he asked.
“Status, power, money. In this city those things are more valuable than real estate.”
“You married me for my money?”
“And position.”
“But you had position.”
“Not on the level I wanted. Do you know how much power I have as Mrs. Eric King?” She shook her head. “Sweetheart, I can get a table at any restaurant in the city just by saying my name. I sit in the front row of the major collections during Fashion week, I have designer swag delivered to me on a daily basis, I’m in line to chair next year’s hospital gala, I’m on the planning committees of some of the top charities in the city and I couldn’t get this woman to meet me. That is, until I called an old friend and she hooked me up.”
“You said you knew about Kyla.”
“That wasn’t exactly true. I knew there was someone, I just didn’t know who.”
“I don’t understand.”
“I knew in the beginning when you stopped trying to get me to sleep with you, you were either seeing a hooker or had someone on the side.”
“A hooker…my God, Olivia.”
“Please, don’t act so surprised. I figured you had someone or someones on the side. Whatever it was, I was fine with it. We sort of helped each other. I wanted security and position, and you wanted a showpiece. However, I had no idea you’d be such a horrible lover.”
“Excuse me? How would you…you said…”
“I said I wouldn’t sleep with you unless we were married.”
“So you weren’t…”
