Markian

I looked through the crowd, he had to be here somewhere and something smelt fishy as well- you can call it a businessman's intuition.

I kept thinking about the look on Livy's face and I felt guilty leaving her all by herself, then my mind flashed back to the young man who had asked her for a dance.

I clenched my fist and fought back the urge to excuse myself from the presence of these business tycoons and look for my wife, before these predators feed on her.

She had been so quiet all night, and I really hope she doesn't get any funny ideas about what Felicity said earlier.

Maybe I should've explained to her and clarify that awkward situation Felicity put me in.

But I immediately gave myself a mental slap, what do I care if she misunderstood the situation or not? Since when has others opinion being a concern of mine?

I cussed silently at the slow fondness that was creeping between Livy and I, and I knew I had to put a stop to it before it's too late.

Felicity was clearly tipsy. She's amazing at hold her whit when she's high, but tonight, she was losing her marbles making me wonder how much she had had to drink.

I was about to go look for Livy when Felicity whispered to my ears, "how about we take this party upstairs for the grand finale, huh?" she asked while wrapping her arms around my waist.

"Hmm, I would have really loved to have a word with Mr Gracía before I leave. After all I came all the way here just for him, don't you think I at least deserve that little?" I asked, milking my way to my mean aim for tonight.

Knowing Felicity as much as I do, she would do absolutely anything to get what she wants at the end of the day. She is smart and bold, but when she's drunk, she can often get...well, easily manipulated.

She nodded and led me upstairs to her husband's chambers.

Mr Gracía took his time to answer the door and I caught a glimpse of why. I had wondered why he retired to bed so early when his party was far from over, and now I knew the reason.

Felicity was not the least bit bothered that another woman was on her matrimonial bed, in fact she seemed so indifferent about it.

I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if it was Livy who found me with another woman, open marriage or not.

At least he was courteous enough to have a word with me, so he led me straight into his study.

We didn't talk long, but he agreed to go into housing and hoteling business with me, if I agreed that there would be no competition with the offer when the time comes.

I guess for him, the older he gets, the warier competitions becomes.

He appreciated the fact that I considered him in the first place and thanked me for attending his party. We said our goodbyes and departed.

Felicity who was waiting in the room opposite the study was still fixing herself more drinks regardless of how high she was already.

I walked up to her to assist her to her room when she informed me that she had stays in her own home few kilometers from the Gracía's mansion.

I guess that makes sense, maybe it was what was decided based on their open marriage agreement.

I can't imagine how awkward it would be passing Mr Gracía's room every night and hear moaning from him and his lover and vise versa. I chuckled at my wild imagination.

She confessed she wanted to spend more time with me, but I offered to call her a ride that would take her home, so she should call it a night and head home.

She was leaning on a table in the room, looking very seductive and hot with her thigh sticking out of her high slit gown.

She moved her hair from side to side exposing her beautiful enticing neck and cleavage that was barely fitting into her dress.

Those were her advances that got me every time when we were still together, so she was trying to seduce me and was doing a great job at it.

Every other hot-blooded male in my position right now would've take her right this instant, but I won't do that.

I walked up to her and put her arm around my shoulder and held her back in an attempt to help her up and steady, but she leaned in for a kiss.

I dodged her first attempt but it wasn't her only one, so I was locked in an embrace with her long legs caging mine as she sat on the table and pressing her body again mine.

I could feel her soft breast crashing into my chest as she started kissing and caressing my shoulder and advanced to my neck, then she cupped my face and leaned in to kiss me, but I held her hand stopping her from moving any further.

She looked in surprise as her eyes caught on something. I followed them to my hand with my wedding band on it.

"You still have your ring on even though she's dead? wow, Markky, I never pictured you as a hopeless romantic. What did she do to you?" she scoff arrogantly.

"Actually, this is from my second marriage. The lady you saw downstairs is not my assistant, she is my wife" I confessed leaving her dumbstruck and completely frozen as a smirk creeped on my lips.

PI can't believe I just admitted that Livy was my wife and I'm actually happy about it.

"That can't be true, you're lying. Why would the mighty Markian fall for such a lowly helpless girl? And it's barely 3 months since your wife passed away, hasn't it?" She questioned wide eyed and beaten.

"Well, things just happened that way, and she is not lowly neither is she helpless. She is in fact the heiress of Luthel Industries, Mrs Judy Luthel's daughter." I boasted proudly.

Felicity was petrified and I almost felt sorry for her, "come on, I'll call you a ride" I told her as I helped her stand steadily.

The light seemed to have dimmed on her face and she was now looking pale as I led her out and called the valet to call her ride.
