Wanda laughs, “Oh, come on. It’s no secret that you’re fucking Eliza.”
She casually strolls to the windows and looks out over the city before turning back to me, as if to drill home the fact that she lords over everything that happens in Manhattan. “So, tell me,” she says, “How does she stack up?”
“As compared to what?” I ask. Two can play this game.
“No need to play coy,” she purrs, walking over to me. As she approaches my desk, she slowly bends over to pick up the sheets of paper that have fallen to the ground just moments earlier. Her actions are smooth and calculated, and as she bends over, she deliberately gives me a perfect view of her breasts, straight down her low cut blouse.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” I say.
She continues, “Oh come on, don’t you remember our all-night marathons? Does she get you as hard as I did?”
“That was another fucking lifetime ago,” I reply, trying to end the conversation. The last thing I want to think about is our failed marriage … I don’t know what I was thinking ever marrying her in the first place. Sharing a bed with her is like cuddling a viper.
“I have a hard time believing Eliza could ever stack up,” she smiles. “It’s an unfair comparison really.”
“Don’t fucking kid yourself, Wanda,” I say. “Eliza and Carter are the best things to have ever happened to me. The three of us are amazing together.”
I watch as Wanda’s eyes widen.
There’s a look of shock that spreads across her face, and in that moment, I realize she was lying. She never knew about Eliza and I, and she certainly never knew about Carter. She was phishing me for information.
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
She laid a trap and I fucking fell right into it.
I can’t backpedal out of this one. I can’t un-say what’s been said.
She shakes her head. “Unbelievable,” Wanda says, just above a whisper.
I’m basically going all in now.
“Believe it. We’re happy. All three of us.”
She eyes me up and down, her gaze shooting daggers at me.
“Watch yourself, Derek. This isn’t over yet.”
Chapter Twenty-Five
Good Day, USA
Jennifer:
Welcome to Good Day USA. I’m your host, Jennifer Long.
Jan:
And I’m your co-host, Susan Duran.
Jennifer:
We’re starting off today with major breaking news that’s got the city talking. So shocking that we’re advising all our viewers to be sitting down and not operating heavy machinery when they hear or see this broadcast.
Susan:
That’s because what New York City has been waiting for has finally happened. Eliza Seymour has lived up to the reputation that she’s known for.
Jennifer:
Media outlets around the city were tipped off late last night through anonymous sources that the heiress has been carrying on a romantic relationship with both Derek Stackford and Carter Blake.
Susan:
That’s right Nicky. Sources indicate that Ms. Seymour not only has an intimate relationship with both her stepfathers, but may have had sexual encounters with both men simultaneously.
Jennifer:
A threesome?
Susan:
The best kind. It looks like Eliza Seymour really hasn’t changed much. Just learned to hide it better.
Jennifer:
Was there ever really any doubt that she had changed? Did we all expect that she went to Paris and then just because her father died she came back as a nun?
Susan:
Critics are charging that there is an added level of depravity in this situation because Ms. Seymour is sleeping with both of her stepfathers at the same time. The relationship has a faint taboo nature to it, they say.
Jennifer:
It has a very strong taboo nature to it. But there really isn’t anything very wrong with it on paper. Neither of the men are her biological father. Neither of the men has actually forced themselves on her. And neither of the men knew her in any way before she had turned 18 years old.
Susan:
It’s a deliciously dirty situation to be in, for sure. But many of you may be wondering what the reaction of the elder Mrs. Wanda Seymour has been to all this.
Jennifer:
And that’s the interesting part. So far the reaction has been zero. Complete and utter radio silence. Nothing at all.
Susan:
We know that Wanda and her stepdaughter are not the best of friends. There is very little love lost in that relationship. And usually in a situation like this, you would think that the other party would take a moment to gloat.
Jennifer:
It could be that Wanda Seymour isn’t basking in triumph now, because she’s waiting for something even bigger to happen.
Susan:
Such as?
Jennifer:
If this leads to the end of Eliza Seymour keeping control of her family’s finances, then Wanda Seymour would give up making any mention of anything right about now. She’d be biding her time. Letting her stepdaughter do all the self-destruction right in front of her.
Susan:
Scary thoughts. Thank you, Jennifer. Unfortunately, that’s all the time we have today.
Jennifer:
Right. When we come back, stay tuned for exclusive coverage from Senator Parker Trask as he highlights his transition from hard partying playboy to champion of the common man in the Senate! All after these commercial messages!
