Chapter 5

Serena came from a family of landowners that had built property near the Everglades dozens of years ago. She went to school at Yale University and studied English. Eva was the daughter of two powerful male investment bankers. When asked about her mother, she claimed that she hadn’t spoken to her in over a decade and no one knew where she had gone. It seemed to Lida that both Serena and Eva were in competition for Wyatt and Malcolm. Serena had her claws sunk into Malcolm and Eva was consistently trying to persuade Wyatt into conversation.

It drove Lida crazy to watch the other girls fawning over her fiancé and the man she was secretly in love with. She’d realized earlier that morning that she and Malcolm hadn’t used protection, and had been internally stressing out about this all throughout breakfast. Every couple of minutes one of Wyatt’s family members would lean into Lida’s ear and ask if she was okay.

“I’m fine,” she would say politely, staring down at her plate full of food. She’d lost her appetite due to stress and confusion.

As for Malcolm and Wyatt, they seemed to both be vying for her attention. She’d never had this much male attention before and wasn’t quite sure how to handle it. While Wyatt was more on the romantic side, Malcolm was cunning and constantly shooting her looks. She caught him winking at her over his pink champagne, or nudging her knee with his foot ever so slightly. The slightest touch from Malcolm or quip from Wyatt sent her reeling. She had to figure out something to do and quick or else she would wind up back in Russia all alone.

“Where will the wedding be held?” asked one of Wyatt’s cousins.

Wyatt shot Lida a glance which instantly froze the heart in her chest.

“We plan on getting married at St. Peter’s chapel,” Wyatt said.

Lida excused herself and rushed off to the bathroom, confused by Wyatt’s shift in attitude.

Does he know? She thought to herself.

Suddenly Malcolm appeared behind her in the dimly lit hall.

“What are you doing here?” she asked. “We’re going to get caught!”

“Which is exactly why I followed you,” he said coyly. “An audience is always fun.”

“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said but was quickly engulfed in a kiss from Malcolm. He took her breath away, pressing her against the wall and pinning her to a painting.

“What are we doing?” Lida asked. “This is wrong.”

“Do you really feel that way?” Malcolm asked, looking deep into her eyes.

“I don’t know what I feel anymore,” she said.

They continued kissing until a waiter interrupted them, needing to sneak past.

“We should probably get back to the table,” Lida said. “We’re going to get in so much trouble.”

“You get back. I’m going to smoke a cigarette and pretend that’s where I’ve been the whole time.”

He kissed her on the forehead before disappearing through the kitchen and out the back door.

Lida couldn’t believe what was going on. How had they not been caught yet? Even at the table, Malcolm had been flirting with her nonstop.
