The woman gave her an amused look from dark brown eyes. She was a model as well and was rapidly growing a reputation. She was also tall, a little over six feet and wore her bleached blonde hair in short tight curls. Her exotic good looks were featured in magazines and on TV advertising skin care products.
"You are. Very lucky." She was sipping champagne and eyeing Anika's dress with a critical eye. "Romano's original. And those sapphires cost a small fortune."
"Good eye. May I help you with something?"
"We are all wondering why he chose you."
Fire flashed in Anika's eyes. "I suppose if it was any of your business, I would say it is the sex. I give you a good head."
The woman's eyes widened in shock. "You have a sharp tongue."
"Sister, you have no idea. Now get lost."
Bella's eyes glittered with temper. "He was with me."
"And now he is with me." She lifted her left hand to display the wedding rings. "This says I am legal. It also says that I am his present and his future and his past, none of it does not matter a damn."
"Bella, I see you have met my wife."
Both women had been so absorbed by the argument and temper darting between them they had not noticed the on-stage event had ended.
"Darling—"
"What we shared was several years ago and it was over then." His green eyes glittered dangerously as he wrapped his arm around Anika's waist. "I would hate to think that you are harassing my wife." His emphasis on the word 'wife' was not lost on the woman.
"I was just congratulating her on the marriage."
"Thank you. Would you excuse us?" He guided Anika onto the dance floor. "Should I apologize?" his arms came around her as he twirled her around.
"Why? Because your bimbo wanted to rip my hair out?" She asked him mildly, her hands wounding around his neck. "She said I am lucky."
"Aren't you?" He was relieved to see that she was not upset. He grimaced when she tugged at his hair. "Ouch."
"That was for sleeping with that bitch in the first place. And for subjecting me to her venom."
"Noted. If you want to slap me around when we get home, feel free."
"Pervert," she muttered and caused him to laugh. "I adore you darling. And I can see that you are bored."
"What gave it away?"
"The expression on your beautiful face and the fact that you have not eaten anything much."
"I feel a little queasy."
"Want to get out of here?"
"It's your deal," she reminded him.
"I can bail now. I did my duty." He tilted her chin up. "You look a little green around the gills."
"I do feel like crap."
"Then we are leaving. Right now."
"Okay."
