Maybe that was one of the reasons she didn’t tell Van about Walker, because she knew her best friend wouldn’t like him.

Evangeline frowned. “Who are you talking about?”

Roshall didn’t miss the questioning gaze that came her way. She was keenly aware that Van would be upset with her that she hadn’t mentioned Walker before now, but everything had been so exciting and new that she wanted to keep it to herself for a while longer back then.

“Walker,” she answered.

“Who’s Walker?”

“My lying ex-fiancé,” Roshall replied, almost choking on the words.

For a long moment, her best friend looked back at her in utter astonishment like she knew she would. “Why didn’t you tell me you had gotten engaged? I thought we were best friends. When did all of this happen? Why didn’t the two of you get married? What is going on? I can’t believe this, Roshall.”

Sighing, Roshall closed her eyes as she tried to regain her composure. The memory of what happen was still so fresh, despite it being almost three months ago. Yet, she could still see it in her mind as if it were yesterday.

“Walker was one of my clients. I had met him for coffee one day for a meeting, and the chemistry between us was more than hot; it was electric. He was everything I hadn’t known I was looking for. He could have given Morris Chestnut a run for his money, and I couldn’t deny my attraction for him.

“We started dating within a week of meeting each other. Every day I left work, I spent time with Walker. So, when he proposed to me after only two months of dating, I didn’t see anything wrong and accepted it. I mean it was like a dream come true for me. I was totally in love with him.”

“I’m still not getting what happened,” Van told her. “Why aren’t you married now, if everything was going so well between the two of you?”

“His birthday was coming up, and I knew that I would be working late on that day, so I wouldn’t be able to spend it with him. So I decided I would show up at his house and surprise him with a romantic dinner and some mind-blowing sex as dessert. I couldn’t wait until I got everything set up. I even bought a new outfit from Victoria’s Secret just for the occasion.”

“Did something happen over dinner that caused the two of you to break up?” Van asked her.

“No, we never got to dinner,” Roshall answered. “Instead of surprising him, Walker surprised the hell out of me when I got to his house. I had let myself in, and I was setting up everything in the kitchen to start dinner when I heard some sounds coming from the bedroom.
