The Daring Billionaire’s Wife

This should've been a celebration of my big day and I should be into it just as much as everyone else while they listen to the wonderful speeches but I just can't forget about Kate. Liam sits right next to me and I have to keep a smile on my face despite the way I feel inside. Since I didn't even speak to him on our way here, he keeps sending me text messages to grab my attention even while we're next to each other but not once do I reply despite reading them all. He's yet to explain himself to me, but now isn't the time. Still, why did Kate say she was there? The questions on my mind only bring me nothing but heartache and I try my hardest not to think about it.

Just as I finish reading his latest text message, another pop up message catches my attention. It's from Abigail.

"You know what my dream phone is. Get me the latest release tomorrow."

I look away from my phone with a soft chuckle of disbelief and Liam sighs in defeat. He obviously thinks this is because of him.

How could my family only think of themselves even at this moment? It seems that no matter what I say, the entitlement just won't stop.

Not even my mother-in-law's beautiful speech can fully grab my attention as I find myself zoning out, wondering how I should deal with my family.

It's only when Liam towers over me while holding out his hand that I pay attention now.

While I'm still mad at him and demand answers, I can't ignore him anymore as everyone's watching.

I force myself to smile, placing my hand in his and he leads me to the dance floor.

The beautiful piano music played by one of the most talented pianists in the world, makes everyone go silent as they watch the two of us.

"I know you're mad at me," he says.

"Thanks for stating the obvious."

"Look, I really left on a business trip and afterwards, I thought it was just going to be a small celebration with my friends. I had no idea it was going to be a bachelor party. It was completely Josh's idea."

"But you still had fun?" I narrow my eyes, still forcing myself to smile brightly.

"I didn't fuck anyone, if that's what you're asking. I've only been waiting for you."

The sincerity in his eyes makes me smile but it quickly fades.

"What about Kate?"

"She's someone I had a fling with and the last time was two weeks before I met you. She didn't take it well when I told her about you. That was the last time I spoke to her before she showed up at the bachelor party. I didn't even know she'd be there last night as one of the dancers."

"Dancers? Looks like she's not over you."

"You're the only one who matters to me." He places his forehead against mine.

"I almost threw out the surprise I have for you," I say to him, my smile now genuine.

"What surprise?" He raises his eyebrows in curiosity.
