Accompanying her on the trip to France was a way to take our relationship to the next level. And when you're in the romance capital of the world, there was so much you could do.
I would have joined her on the stage and helped with her speech, then taken her to the best restaurants the romance capital had to offer. I would take her to the opera house; afterward, we'd have the best singer accompany us to my hotel room, singing while I fed her grapes and she'd do the same to me.
It was going to be the best thing ever, but my father had asked me to do something for him, regarding the company's dealings. Normally, I wouldn't mind, but as Ethan was around, I was a little worried about how Natasha would react to his presence. But she wasn't fazed by his presence, nor did she look interested. Ethan himself didn't seem to care either.
Well, I wouldn't blame the both of them.
She had eventually found out that Ethan was actually married and his younger brother was tricking her. As for Ethan, the clumsy fool that he was, wouldn't even know such a thing had happened behind his back. I had nothing to worry about. Or so I thought.
"She's not at the event," the man I had placed to watch over her, reported.
"What do you mean she's not at the event?" I asked.
"Well, last night she never left the building so it was safe to say she retired for the night,” he explained. "But this morning, she left the hotel with Dr. Ethan Sullivan."
"That's impossible," I insisted. "He's a married man and won't be caught dead with another woman."
"Maybe he's reverted back to his old ways?" he asked. "Because as I followed them, they visited a cute animal cafe."
"An animal what?"
"An animal cafe. I even got a coupon. The hedgehogs are very cute. I'm more of a hamster man myself as dogs and cats frighten the hell out of me. So, I…"
"I don't care about what you did there! Where did they go next?" I yelled.
"Oh sorry, sir," he apologized and continued, "They visited the Eiffel Tower, had dinner and walked around while linking arms. I took some photos. We could blackmail Ethan."
"It won't work," I said.
"they are high quality pictures, sir."
"It won't work," I repeated. "That's no Ethan either. That's his younger brother, Dr. Ian Sullivan."
"Oh, I see," he replied. "I'll get rid of the photos then."
"Send them all to me," I demanded.
"As you wish," he replied before hanging up.
He sent the photos, and all I could feel was anger. The woman in the photos wasn't the Natasha I recognized and loved. The woman in the pictures looked at the barbarian with eyes that spelled true happiness and joy. She had never looked at me like that. She held him a lot in the pictures, but she would look uncomfortable if I even tried poking her arm. She had a playful, curious look in her eyes.
Who was this playful, curious woman? And how come I was the only one not allowed to see this side of her? Why did the failure of a twin get to see her this way? I was getting angry, and I needed to calm myself down, so I brought out some photos we took together recently. The lack of interest in her eyes only managed to infuriate me.
I called the spy to ask, "Where did they go after everything was done?"
"He dropped her at the hotel and drove back to his own hotel," he replied.
"Do you know where the hotel is?" I asked.
"Yeah, I'll text it to you," he offered.
"Thank you. I'll pay you for your service today," I promised before hanging up.
He texted me the address. Ian was going to get a wake-up call.

I went to his hotel but wasn't able to get his room number. The peasant at the receptionist stand, wasn't easily swayed by my bribe. Foolish 9 to 5 workers, thinking they have anything to boast of.
