A Trillionaire’s Revenge

CHAPTER 36

Nice meeting you again, Mr. Carrington. We met at the Richardson soiree? I'm the Senator's daughter in law." Lydia says, and I'm beyond shocked.

"Daughter in law?" I repeat.

"It's a pleasure. Please, do make yourself comfortable here- I know you're my wife's close friend."

She nods, "Yes, Natalie. It was documents alone. I just had to sign some papers there was no wedding."

"But still, you should have told me, Lydia, I mean I would've come over to you."

"Excuse me, Ladies." Luke says before he leaves.

I hurriedly drag Lydia to the sofa, so we can sit and discuss. "You have to make sure David doesn't come here." Is the first thing I can say. I couldn't risk having David or the senator around, especially when Rocky was still present in the house.

Lydia nods, "I know- I came alone, and I come in peace. I just needed a getaway, Natalie. That's why I came." She says, giving me a very weird look. I ignore it.

"Yes, yes, you're most definitely welcome here anytime but your husband," I say, placing emphasis on the word. I continue, "And, your father in law mustn't come here, at least not while Rocket still lives here. If that ever happens, my marriage is as good as over." I say, but I notice Lydia's breaking a sweat and I can see she's not too comfortable. "What's wrong?" I ask.

"Look behind you." She says and I pause, a thousand thoughts going through my mind. Someone was behind me and had heard our conversation.

"I didn't see or hear anything." Emmanuelle says as she turns to leave. I am in complete shock, utterly confused as I watch her eyes look at me with disgust and mistrust.

"Wait!" I scream as I rush to grab her. "Please, please, no, it's not what you think. Emmanuele!"

She's breathing heavily, her eyes almost betraying her. She remains quiet. Oh, dear God. What have I done?

"Emmanuele, please. . ." I whisper as I sob.
