Hades and Sofia arrived, and we exchanged hugs and handshakes. We sat at a square table, and I was disappointed when Hades and Sofia chose the chairs directly beside us rather than across from us.

That meant Damien would sit there—right in my line of sight.

“Where’s Damien?” Liam asked.

“Late,” Hades answered. “Always late.”

“We were late too,” Sofia said. “So, he’s just later.”

Hades placed his arm around her chair. “Shh, baby.”

She gave him a playful glare. “Did you just shh me?”

“What are you going to do about it?” he asked, enjoying the rise he got out of her.

“Oh, I’ll show you what I’m gonna do…later.” She grabbed the bottle of water in the middle of the table and poured herself a glass.

I could barely focus on their conversation because I was so tense. Would Damien bring Charlotte? He wouldn’t, right? He would know how awkward that would make everything, so he would avoid it. And he said it wasn’t serious.

Liam moved his hand to mine under the table. “Want some more wine, Anna?”

“Uh…” My eyes flicked to the entry, and I saw a gorgeous woman step inside. In a short cocktail dress, toned physique, and with beautiful long hair, she looked like model material. And then Damien walked in behind her. “Yes, I’ll take some.” I pushed the glass close to him because I would need every drop.

Once the host directed Damien to our table, he headed our way, in the lead.

Charlotte moved behind him, and she sped up in her heels so she could slide her hand into his, gripping his palm like reins.

I shouldn’t care. I was married to Liam, so Damien’s personal life shouldn’t bother me. He was sleeping with this gorgeous woman, but I was sleeping with a gorgeous man, one who loved me. I forced myself to be indifferent, to let it go.

Damien reached the table and looked at everyone but me, as if he knew this awkward. “Charlotte, this is Sofia.”

“So nice to meet you.” Charlotte came to her chair and shook her hand.

“You too,” Sofia said politely.

Damien turned to me next, a slight look of dread in his eyes. “And this is Annabella…”

Charlotte moved to me next, ignoring the frown on my face as she smiled wide. She extended her hand. “Hello. I love your dress.” She seemed to be trying hard to impress us because she thought it mattered to Damien. That meant she had no idea that Damien used to be mine, that I wanted him to be mine forever. If she knew, she wouldn’t want to touch me.

“Thank you.” I shook her hand and quickly pulled away.

She seemed to pick up on my dismay because her smile faltered. She turned away, suspicion written on her face. And because my luck was terrible, she sat in the chair directly across from me.

Now I had to stare at this stunning model all night.

God, this was going to suck.
