Chapter Five

Michael stood in his office and looked at the beautiful engagement ring lying on the floor at his feet. He bent over slowly and picked it up, holding it in his fingers and wishing, with all of his heart, that things could be easier for Isabella and him. He looked toward the door she had slammed closed and sighed.

The door opened and Glenn walked in looking at him. “Was that Isabella I just saw tearing out of here?”

Michael sat down on the sofa and looked at the ring in his fingers. “Yes.”

“Why are you holding her ring?” Glenn asked with a furrowed brow.

“I’m holding her ring because she dropped it on the floor, and I didn’t want to leave it there,” Michael said sadly.

“Why isn’t she wearing it, Michael?” Glenn walked over to him and sat beside him on the couch. Glenn was Michael’s campaign manager.

“She isn’t wearing it because she broke off the engagement.” Michael sighed.

Glenn’s eyes widened in panic. “No! She can’t do that! What did she do that for?”

Michael leaned his head back and stared at the ceiling. “Because I’m an idiot and I screwed up.”

Glenn turned and looked at Michael directly. “Michael Bradley, you get that woman back over here and get that ring back on her hand as fast as you can! We have to stop the media from getting word of this. A breakup of your engagement this close to your election would be disastrous! There’s no way we’d get the Latin American votes we need! We’d lose the whole thing! What in the hell did you do to make her that mad?”

Michael closed his eyes, his face still turned up to the ceiling. “I made out with my ex-fiancée and apparently she told Isabella about it.”

“You did what?” Glenn glared at him.

Michael shook his head. “It’s the worst excuse ever, but I didn’t mean to. I went home after the engagement party… the engagement party. Isabella asked me to stay with her that night and I didn’t. I went rushing home to get more work done and who should walk into my den, but Kelsey. Kelsey came strutting in wearing this little see through thing and nothing on underneath it.”

Glenn stared at him as he described what happened.

“She decided she wanted to spend the night with me. I was so surprised to see her there that I didn’t stop her, she just… came on to me, pretty much literally, and I let her kiss me and make out with me, but I stopped her before things got… too far. Then I kicked her out, but I should’ve stayed with Isabella that night. I should have kicked Kelsey out as soon as I saw her. Now I’m paying the piper. I lost my fiancée because of it. Tarado.”

Glenn blinked and tilted his head. “What does that mean?”

Michael opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling again. “Stupid.”

Glenn stood up and began pacing. He chewed on his thumb and walked back and forth. “You still have a shot at this.
