CHAPTER 23

After finishing their doubles game against the Alemans, Vena and Glenn, Perlita had immediately returned to the room to take a shower while Nate decided to head down to the kitchen for a snack. And she’d just entered the room when Nate’s phone buzzed and almost fell off the little piecrust table near the window. She nudged it back toward the middle of the table, and as she did, the message caught her eye. Stunned, she grabbed the phone to take a closer look.

And it was at that moment that her husband entered the room, a Snickers bar in hand, of which he’d already taken a big bite, and was chewing happily.

“What the hell!” she screamed, and threw the phone at his face.

He ducked just in time, causing the phone to hit the door with a thwack. “Hey!” he said. “Watch it!”

“Izzy Price?! You’re cheating on me with Izzy?!”

Nathan’s jaw dropped. “I’m—what are you talking about?”

“I saw the message, Nate. ‘I’m naked and thinking of you?’ What the hell, Nate!”

“I-I can explain,” he said, holding up his hands in a gesture of defense, just in case she decided to throw something else at him. Like a table or a chair.

“How long has this been going on?” she demanded. “How long?!”

“Six months,” he said sheepishly.

“Six months!”

He nodded, and carefully picked up his phone and checked to see if it still worked.

“I want a divorce,” she said, causing him to blanch.

“But, honey!”

“Don’t you honey me,” she said, pointing a menacing finger at her husband. “You’re having an affair with my main artist and your main client. How dare you!”

“You’re one to talk,” he scoffed. “Don’t think I don’t know what you’ve been up to.”

She was momentarily taken aback by this comeback. “What are you talking about?”

“Izzy told me that you and her…” He gestured between them. “That you’ve… Well, that you’ve been… doing things together!”

She should have laughed at the prudish way he expressed himself. Nate hated talking about the more intimate side of their relationship, preferring to keep things under the covers—literally. It usually cracked her up. But she was too shocked now to even crack a smile. “What do you mean?” she asked feebly.

“You and Izzy, you’re also having an affair, aren’t you? So when were you going to tell me about that, huh?”

“I’m…” She gulped uncomfortably at this sudden reversal of the roles of accuser and accused. “It just… happened once. Once only. And it was a mistake.” A mistake she had thoroughly enjoyed, though, and had been eager to repeat. Which is why she was so disappointed that Izzy was also carrying on with Nate. Somehow it made her feel doubly betrayed—by her husband and her lover.

For a moment they just stared at each other, then the door swung open and those detectives walked in, followed by Michele.

Perlita snapped, “I want to go home.”

“I’m afraid you can’t,” said Detective Kingsley, as he checked to see if any damage had been done—either to the furniture or the people present.
