Chapter 8

If she had known he was going to be there, she would have given Bill some excuse as to why she could not accompany him. It had been two weeks since he had called her and she had not heard from him. She had looked in the papers and on the internet and had not seen him with anyone. Every day, she searched the papers with trepidation in her heart expecting to see him with a stunning beauty on his arms, but the times he had been photographed, it had been with his sister Marissa or with his mother. She had found it difficult to start making wedding plans and had told Bill that she was too busy working on a new curriculum. She had dressed with extra care in a dress that she had bought a week ago. It had taken out a big chunk out of her savings, but it was worth it. It was of the softest buttercup yellow and was a Romano original. It shimmered over her body and cupped it so lovingly that she could not wear anything else underneath it. She wore chunky hammered gold necklace and large hoop earrings as her accessories. Her hair had grown and she had not bothered to cut it. It touched the nape of her neck and the glossy dark curls gleamed with life. Her makeup was flawless and she had decided to wear strawberry red lipstick.

She grabbed a scarf and headed out. She had told Bill she would meet him there. He had tried to kiss her, but she had moved her head and the kiss always landed on her cheek. She sat in her car for a few minutes and then pulled out.

Bill was waiting for her outside the hotel when she got there. She gripped his hand as he helped her out and handed her keys to the admiring valet. It brought a smile to her lips as she realized that he was young enough to be her son, but he appeared to be star struck with admiration.

“My dear, you look lovely,” Bill said affably. “Isn’t the dress a little too revealing?”

Hailey looked at him in surprise as they made their way into the crowded ballroom. It was a charity event and it was well supported. “It depends on who is looking,” she told him coolly.

“I did not mean-” She did not wait to hear what he had to say but made her way over to where the champagne was being served.

She was sipping the wine when her gaze wandered over to a group of men in one corner of the room. Her heart skittered in her chest and she stared at him. He was wearing dark blue tux and looked so wonderful that she wanted to weep. He looked up and their eyes clashed. She wanted to run away, but she could not move. She heard Bill come up behind her and had no idea what he said to her. She saw when he spoke something to the men and knew he was coming over.
