I look up as I zip up my pants. “This didn’t fucking happen,” I tell her, panicked.
She smiles. “Oh baby, it so did.”
I glare at her. “You tell Trixie and you’ll wish you hadn’t.”
She narrows her eyes at me. “Excuse me? If we don’t keep doing what we did last night, I will, and nothing you do will stop me. Poor little Trixie. Her baby just died and her husband cheated on her, all in the same week.” She gives me a nasty smirk, as the blankets fall, giving me a full view of her naked chest.
I look away quickly. “You do realize she’s good friends and family with the Angels Warriors, right?”
Her eyes widen in shock and her face pales. “You shittin’ me?” she croaks out.
“If I lose my marriage because of this, because you tell her, I won’t hesitate to send Reaper after you. And you know how much he can’t stand your slutty ass.” Everyone in town knows of his hatred for Lacey, although the stupid thing is, his hate for her is all his own fault. He’s the one that slept with her. And his wife Moira knows Lacey all too well also. Since Lacey fucked her now ex-husband in their home.
Lacey might not be a stripper anymore or a hooker whatever the fuck, but she’s still not liked around here. Most women, if not all of them, despise her. And she’s known for sleeping with married men, taken men, whatever. I should have known this shit would happen, all the attention she gave me, the bitchy comments about my own wife. Trixie’s warnings.
I rush out of the hotel room, and into my car. Fucking hell, how am I supposed to face my wife.

I was thankful Trixie never found out what happened, and even with all the guilt I felt, I couldn’t bring myself to tell her. It wasn’t an issue since Lacey left town the next day and didn’t come back—until three months ago when the bitch showed up and introduced me to the daughter we made together that awful night.
Chapter 3
Trixie
Ihaven’t heard from Chris in a week. I send him texts, telling him I love him, but he never texts me back. Since I have nothing that needed to be done today, instead of wallowing at home alone, I decided to get some grocery shopping done. That’s when I spot Lilly up ahead.
We have had a weird relationship, mainly because my idiotic cousin Kayla was screwing her husband and ended up getting knocked up. It caused a huge family issue when my parents and my aunt and uncle found out I was hanging out with Lilly. They blamed her and Vincent for a long time for Kayla’s death. Now, though, everything is normal. Hell, my aunt and uncle love Lilly and even treat her daughter as their grandchild as well.
“Hey, Trixie,” Lilly says, smiling at me. She always looks so damn stunning every time I see her. Her long, curly brown hair is perfectly styled, and she always looks like she’s comfortable in just her Tee shirt and jeans. Every once in a while, I spot her wearing a pretty dress, but that’s usually only for nights out, when I see her, Eden, and Moira having a girls’ night.
“Hey, Lilly, how are you?”
“Tired, I just dropped the girls off to school and figured I should get some things done,” she says.
I smile, hoping it’s genuine, since I don’t have much reason to smile for real these days.
“Okay.” Her eyes narrow at me. “What gives?”
“What gives?” I repeat.
“Yeah, what gives? You’ve never shopped during the weekdays unless you tag-a-long with Chris. You spend that time blogging and stuff. You only go grocery shopping on weekends, first thing in the morning ‘cause you hate being around people.”
Hearing Chris’s name causes me to wince.
“What did he do?” Lilly demands, suddenly angry.
I burst out crying, telling her everything I know.
“He didn’t give you a reason? Just said he wanted out?” she asks in shock.
I nod.
“What a dick. Because of him, you lost Avalynn and Kristi as friends. You wanted your time with him. You put up with his shitty ass family and this is how he repays you?” She looks ready to blow. “I’m telling the guys. I swear to god, I’m going to kick his ass.”
Avalynn and Kristi were my best friends in High School, but once I hooked up with Chris, the friendship sort of fell apart. They always wanted to go out and have fun, but I was at home with Chris, spending every minute I had with him. After a while of trying, we lost contact. Avalynn moved away and last I heard, is married to Cameron James, the CEO of some huge company in Edmonton. And Kristi, according to her Facebook page, is dating Vinny’s brother Bryce, and they just had their first child.
“Lilly, don’t. Please. I just want to give this time. Maybe he’ll talk to me when he’s ready,” I say, sounding hopeful.
