Chapter 7
Nikita shot us a furious glare and sneered, “Diana, even rabbits don’t stir trouble in their own den. Why are you fish- ing for men in Wayne’s circle?
“He doesn’t even look that good.”
Gotta say, she and Wayne were two peas in a pod. They had the same twisted logic. Dirty themselves, they think ev- eryone else is dirty too.
I rolled my eyes. “Yeah, yeah. He’s just five years younger than your Wayne. Stronger. Taller. Better abs. Oh, and fights better too.”
Leroy puffed out his chest in perfect timing, showing off his solid pecs.
Wayne looked pissed and shoved Nikita aside. “Why are you here? Didn’t you say you weren’t feeling well? I told you to stay home.”
Nikita pouted, looking all pitiful.
“I heard you were taken in by the police. I was worried about you, that’s all.”
But Wayne was already irritated. He snapped, “Instead of worrying about me, worry about yourself. You’re already weak, running around all day. Don’t blame anyone when you start feeling sick again.”
She hadn’t expected to be scolded for her concern.
She turned and shot me a death glare, then ran off with teary eyes.
As her figure faded down the hall, I said mockingly, “Not going after her? What if your little childhood crush gets hit by a car and blames us for it?”
Wayne, black and blue all over, looked torn.
“Honey, let me check on her. She’s like a sister-I grew up with her.”
I didn’t stop him. I watched him chase after Nikita.
Then I invited Leroy to dinner again.
That night, I booked a hotel. No way was I letting Wayne trap me again.
Day 3 of hotel stay.
Wayne called late at night. Voice weirdly soft.
“Honey, I sent Nikita to another state. She won’t bother us again. Come back. Let’s start over.”

Chapter 7
Waking me up at midnight just for this garbage?
I was beyond annoyed.
“Wayne, are you addicted to pretending?
“You think just shipping Nikita away will fix what’s broken between us?

“Then riddle me this-why, after marrying me, do you spend a week every month in Las Vegas? I’m pretty sure your family has no business there. Were you with her?
“Spare me your twisted games. I want nothing more to do with it.
“Let’s just divorce. It’ll be better for all three of us.”
I thought it’d drag out longer.
I didn’t expect Nikita to go nuclear.
She posted on Instagram that she was pregnant with Wayne’s baby.
Everything blew up.
My phone wouldn’t stop ringing-calls from Wayne, from Nikita, and from the Clinton family.
I was thrilled. I saved the post and sent it straight to my lawyer.
And I only picked up Wayne’s call.
“Diana, if you come back to me, I’ll make Nikita abort the baby.
“Don’t worry, you’re the only one I want kids with. As for her, she’s still mine too. She can live with us. The three of us can make it work.”
What kind of deranged nonsense was that?
I was speechless.
“Wayne, don’t get it twisted. I only picked up to talk about divorce. You cheated. So, you owe me more money.”
With Nikita’s help, the divorce went through smoothly. I got a good chunk of assets.
Then I moved to a new city.
I kept the little house in New York, though. I didn’t sell it.
Over half a year later, a friend told me that Nikita gave birth to a mixed-race baby.
Wayne had it investigated. It turned out Nikita was wild back in school.
Her whole story about moving to Las Vegas after her confession failed? Total lie.
She just wanted more freedom to fool around.

Chapter 7
The Clinton family’s reputation was ruined.
Wayne filed for divorce.
But Nikita refused.
They kept dragging it out-until they drove into the sea. One dead. One lost a leg.
Nikita died.
Her family freaked out.
The Clinton family was forced to raise that mixed-race kid.
More gossip trickled in after that, but I didn’t care anymore.
I’d finally escaped Wayne’s mess.
But somehow, I started seeing more and more of Leroy.
It took me a while to realize-he wasn’t just hanging around for fun.
I didn’t say yes right away.
I’d just ended a mess of a relationship.
“I can wait. I’m still young.
“But can you not make me wait too long?”
I ran my hand down his firm abs.
“It depends on how well you behave.”
Well, I gotta admit-young men do come with perks.
