“How are the wedding plans?”
“Fine.”
She gave me a thin smile. “Apparently, Mia’s wedding dress is by Vera Wang? Wasn’t Zie going to wear the same designer? How sweet. When Mia’s walking up the aisle on your wedding day, your mind will be filled with memories of Zie.”
This woman had spies everywhere.
I shrugged, not caring to reveal Mia was considering another designer. Or maybe, just maybe, she’d wear her Vera Wang because she loved it so much.
“You’re making a big mistake.” She glanced behind her. “You still have time to win her back.”
“Are you referring to Zie?”
“Of course.”
“Or I could just slice through my wrists with the closest sharp object and bleed out, which would be a lot more fun.”
“Do you want me to put in a good word for you?”
“Instead of the cake I had Mia for dessert. Now that was worth waiting for.”
“If someone seems too good to be true—”
“If you ever again come within fifty miles of me, or Mia, or anyone I care about, I’ll—”
“Threatening me?”
“I’m putting you in your place, Helete.”
“What were you doing at my club?”
“I was there for Shay,” I answered, exasperated. “I had no idea you were connected to the place.”
“We have more members then you ever did at Chrysalis.”
“Fantastic.” I went with sarcasm because the other option was to look like I gave a shit. “Listen,” I glanced back the way I’d come, “can we please settle our differences?”
She gave me a look of mistrust.
“Shay’s considering remaining a member of your club,” I added. “He seems to like it.” And he would see his wish fulfilled to return to her club over my dead body.
“We’d love to have him back.” She smirked.
“You’re going through a lot, Helete. I bumped into Lance and he told me about your divorce. I’m sorry, I really am.”
“Where did you see him?”
Okay, this was getting into the give-the-bastard’s-affair-away territory, if I wasn’t careful. I waved it off. “This is hard on both of you.”
“He’s just concerned his political career will take a hit.”
“I didn’t get that from him.”
Her expression softened. “Can I tell you what my greatest joy is?”
“Sure.”
“Of all your enemies, I’m the most dangerous.”
