Garth's POV

After a while, we pulled up to the Blackwell mansion with a black Mercedes Benz. And when the door was opened, I came down with two guards.

They walked beside Catherine.

“Darling we are late.” She said.

I shrugged before I entered the mansion.

I suddenly stopped when I got to the door. My face went cold. I flashed back to how things moved from sweet and friendly to disastrous.

It started years ago when I lost my mum and my father got married to his secretary after a few months.

I swallowed the thoughts, there was no need bringing back the past.

“Garth.” Catherine called from behind.

“I will go in first.” She said and walked in.

Even while walking, she looked perfect. But not compared to the woman I had a one night stand with. My fiance was remarkable but she had no depth.

I looked at the open door and I heard their laughter and excitement.

But it didn't matter to me.

“What are you doing? My cousin Marcus asked from behind. “Won't you go in?

I looked straight ahead and walked in while he followed behind me.

The lights and chandeliers were still all the same. The house didn't change much. But it wasn't warm and safe.

“Garth, you are here! My father called out when he saw me.

My Dad was putting on a strip shirt and a black jean. You would agree we all had charming eyes.

My mum was seated beside him. She was wearing a beautiful lace gown with a full face of makeup and lipstick.

Meanwhile, Sebastian sat like he was a perfect gentleman and he didn't say hello when I entered.

A lady was seated next to him.

When I walked in, he didn't make an effort to greet me but I didn't mind.

I wasn't bothered either.

“Son! My Dad called and I averted my attention back to him.

“I apologize for coming late.” I said but my face had no hint of remorse.

“It's fine. I'm happy you could join us.”

*************************

Ever since Catherine arrived, I noticed the subtle look Sebastian has been giving to her and it infuriated me.

Her fiance was handsome with a handsome appearance and it made me wonder why she would cheat on him.

When everyone was finally settled, I felt uncomfortable sitting with them. I just kept running my fingers in my curls.

They all had an aura of wealth which I lacked despite the fact I was putting on an expensive dress.

My mother-in-law looked perfect and it made her look younger than her age.

Catherine and her fiance looked like royalty as well.

Garth was putting on a black tuxedo. His newly trimmed wet hair gave him a perfect conjuring appearance.

His eyes were deep and blue and it reminded me of the sea.

It was intimidating to look at him yet for some reason I found myself stealing glances at him.

He was perfect.

His face and jawline looked like it was carved by the gods. When he swallowed, with his bulging Adam's apple, it was the sexiest thing I had seen in awhile.

Watching him turned me on.

The way he picked his glass and drank from it had me on chokehold.

I wouldn't have paid attention to him but after what Sebastian did, I didn't care if it was his brother.

As he placed his wine down, his gaze fell on me.

When we made eye contact, I froze. My breath hitched in my throat from how handsome he looked.

I looked away but he didn't. For some reason it seemed I sparked something in him.

Maybe my hair, eyes, my lips or even my dress.

“Amelia,” My father in law called after a couple of minutes.

They were having a conversation and I wasn't involved so he wanted to involve me as well.

“Your hair looks nice on you dear.” He said.

“Thank you father.” I smiled. “Actually, it's my natural hair.”

There was a smirk on Garth's face.

“Sebastian likes it when I carry my natural hair.” I said.

Garth looked at me and the memories from last night flashed through his mind.

<The mystery woman who seduced me and had a one night stand with me. They look similar or is it my imagination?

He clenched his fist but he hid it under the table.

<How dare she get me involved in a sexual act when she was married to my brother. I will get her back and she must pay>

His phone buzzed and he snapped out of his thoughts. He excused himself and walked out of the table.

At that point he felt used.

<How could she be my brother's wife?

While he was lost in his thoughts, I walked down the hallway.

Without hesitating, he followed me outside.

“Amelia! He called out.

I stopped and my eyes trembled when it met his.

“You are the one. Yes it's you! You are the one that begged me that night!.”

“What are you talking about? I lied.

I'm his brother's wife, why will

he say something like that to me?

My thoughts went out when he leaned in and kissed me passionately, forcing his tongue into my mouth for submission…
