I snap upright and scramble away from Rubin as reality hits me like a brick. My attention flicks to the doorway where I see an unfamiliar man standing beside Jackie. The man has a gleeful smirk on his face while Jackie has buried her face in her hands.
Thereâs nothing I can do, or say, to fix this. I donât know how long they were standing there, but even just the last few seconds were incriminating enough.
Guilt, shame, rage, and frustration all roll through me in an instant. I donât know what to feel. I donât know which emotion to latch on to.
Rubin is staring at me, and I can sense the confusion wafting off him. Heâs wanted me since the beginning, and unlike me, heâs been aware of exactly what it is he needs. Meanwhile, Iâve just been bumping around in the dark like an idiot, trying to explain everything Iâve felt toward him as nothing more than friendship.
But thereâs so much more to it than that.
I canât deny it any longer. But that doesnât change the fact that Iâm not interested in omegas...and it certainly doesnât help my current situation.
I quickly rise from the sofa and straighten my rumpled clothing.
âMarius Lang, pleasure to meet you,â I say as I approach the reporter with the brightest smile I can manage.
âLeopold Vega.â The reporter reaches for my hand as he introduces himself. âI must say, Mr. Mayor, your assistant gave me the impression I was on the way over here so you could refute the rumors Iâve heard.â
âYes, well...â I wet my lips with my tongue as I attempt to figure out an appropriate answer. âI believe you deserve to know the entire story before you write your article. What youâve just walked in on is a somewhat new development.â
Leopold looks like he doesnât believe me for an instant, but he doesnât say so. âAlright then, why donât we get started?â He strides into the room and makes himself at home on the sofa across from Rubin. âDo you mind if I record?â He looks at each of us as he pulls his phone out of his pocket.
âNot at all.â I return to my seat on the sofa beside Rubin, but this time, I maintain a comfortable distance between us. âI would appreciate an accurate record of everything Iâm about to share with you.â
Jackie takes up position on the third sofa and pulls out her own phone.
âAnd since youâll be recording us, Iâm sure you donât mind if we make a recording of our own.â I smile professionally.
Jackie and I have been doing this for a long time. Itâs standard practice now for her to record every single interview I give, just in case my words wind up twisted or taken out of context.
âOf course, Mr. Mayor, I wouldnât expect anything else.â Leopold nods as if expecting the request. It seems my reputation in this matter precedes me.
âNow...why donât we start with something everyone has been curious about? Who is this
