Oh God.
Is it him?
I fooled around with V in school, mostly out of spite, and he’s a true charmer, nice, understanding, and really gentle.
He’s the exact opposite of my husband, and although I’ve never thought of myself as the type who cheats, I can see why Vance would fit the profile of a man I’d choose for an affair.
“Hey, V.” I step closer so no one overhears. “As you know, I forgot some events the past couple of years.”
“Yes, you mentioned that the other time.”
“Did something happen that I should be aware of?”
“I’m surprised it took you so long to ask.” His blue eyes brighten up. “I knew you wouldn’t forget everything.”
I think I’m going to be sick.
His head slides close to mine, but before he can say anything, he’s shoved away and then punched so hard, he hits the buffet table and plunges into the extravagant food. Blood explodes from his nose in a shock of red instantly covers his face.
Did…Eli just break V’s nose?
A collective gasp from the attendees echoes in the air as my husband stares at his handiwork with savage eyes. “I warned you, but you didn’t listen.”
Gemma grabs onto Eli’s arm. “It’s okay…”
He pushes her away before I can think about her presence beside him, grabs my arm, and drags me behind him.
“Eli, wait…” I literally jog in freaking heels to keep up with his wide strides.
“I’m done waiting.” He shoves me into a supply room, jams the door closed, and presses my back against the wall.
“Don’t you think you went overboard?—”
My words are cut off when his angry words roll off me. “Is he the fucker you cheated on me with?”

My lips part as I stare up into Eli’s eyes.
Cold.
Harsh.
Filled with rage.
I’ve never seen him like this before. He’s calm and collected to a fault. It’s alien to see him lose his cool, let alone drift into the lawless territory of anger.
His grip tightens on my arms, fingers digging into my flesh. It hurts, but I show no reaction and release no sound. I’m enchanted and completely taken in by his ruthless aura and…
Gray.
His eyes are so gray and enraged, it’s a miracle they don’t flash into darkness and suck me into its depths.
“Answer the question.” His calm words are deceptive, too clipped, too savage.
“W-what…” I swallow past the dryness making my tongue stick to the back of my throat. “What do you mean?”
