Lara:
I should have been the happiest that day. Kash had co to see .
He was introduced as my mate, my husband-to-be, to everyone.
But my happiness ended the mont the car stopped and I saw her.
He had brought his ex and the kids with him. My mood dropped right away.
I did not understand when Kash had beco so thoughtless.
Why would he think bringing her here would not upset ? I could not believe it.
But I kept my smile for him. I acted happy for his sake.
At the sa ti, I was not going to let this visit pass without making sure Iris made mistakes that would remove her from Kash’s life forever.
I was ready to push her as much as needed. If she slept with Luca, even better.
My eyes moved to Iris’s mother. She had helped more than anyone else.
She was the one who ca up with the idea of sleeping with Kash.
Then the next day, she would tell Iris that it happened.
Thankfully, Iris stayed that night, so she saw us herself. No one else had to tell her.
My father planned a dinner for and Kash. But now Kash’s ex and his children were also seated at our table.
I was annoyed. Every ti I turned to look at Kash, I caught him staring at Iris.
It was the sa focused stare again and again. Even when he spoke with soone else, his eyes kept going back to her.
She looked like she was pretending not to notice, but I knew she did.
Kash was now busy with his phone. He typed sothing, then lifted his eyes and looked straight at her again.
And she checked her phone right after. Her head lifted.
She narrowed her eyes at him as if they were talking through the screen.
Then she noticed watching her and she straightened her back.
What a bitch.
Shaless. Trying to get attention from soone who was already taken.
I hated won like this. Growing up, I always made sure never to beco a desperate woman chasing after soone else’s mate.
It could never be . But Iris, a rogue like her, had no dignity. No morals. No pride.
To her, getting touched by soone and begging for attention seed like a good plan.
And here she was now. Sitting in front of everyone. Doing her best to get his eyes on her again.
"So what is the plan for the night," my father asked, trying to cheer up.
I guess he had noticed that I looked worried.
"I was thinking about going to a royal bar with Kash. They hold a masquerade party every Saturday."
As soon as I said it, I noticed the unease from Kash’s side.
When I turned to look at him, he was staring at with a mocking smirk on his lips, almost like a sarcastic grin, but his jaw was clenching behind it.
"That seems like a good idea. I heard they serve so premium wine too. It will be a perfect royal space and a new adventure to cherish," My father comnted, instantly supporting the idea.
"I am not sure about the first experience though. I am pretty sure Lara has visited this bar before," Kash responded.
The words ca from him so quickly that my skin broke out in goosebumps.
I knew exactly what he was talking about.
My father frowned. He did not know the reason behind our first breakup.
So of course he had no clue why Kash said that.
"What about you, Iris?" My father turned his attention to her.
I noticed the way Kash fixed his posture and his seat again, almost like he had been waiting for her answer.
"Iris does not go to bars like that." My fiancé was the one who spoke up for her.
It made feel worse. Even my father and the others who heard him started to whisper.
"Is that so, Iris? You seem quite boring," My father remarked, trying to stand by .
Then he turned to Luca.
"What about you, young man? You seem like soone who will have fun partying," He asked him, and Luca shook his head.
"No, I do not go to bars," He replied.
But I noticed the way he looked anxious, as if he was lying. I wondered what was really going on between him and Iris.
Lady Clarissa told the two were not sharing a bed, so now I was even more curious why.
"Anyway, so are we going tonight?" I still asked Kash.
Even when I knew this place would bring him mories, I wanted to go.
That bar held mories for too. I wanted to rewrite them with him so I would not feel sick every ti I thought about the bar.
I did not think I was saying sothing wrong. I just wanted my trauma to end.
The trauma of cheating on him. And then losing him to soone like Iris.
"We will see," Kash stated.
"How about Iris, you join tonight. Co on, you gotta loosen up a bit," I decided to use her as bait and it worked.
"Sure, we should go, right?" Iris finally turned to Luca and gave him a smile.
I noticed the way Kash, who had been tapping his fingers on the table nonstop, suddenly stopped the mont he heard her say that.
"You want to go to a bar like that?" Kash phrased it so strangely that even I felt judged by the tone.
"Why not? She is an adult and I guess it is the right thing to do. She should explore her horizons instead of being judgntal," Luca was so quick to agree.
And it bothered so much. Why were n so interested in her? Even when she was cold and arrogant.
"Well then, I think you are right. Maybe we will go too," Kash agreed all of a sudden, and I began to think it was not even about anymore.
However, I forced a smile onto my lips to avoid ruining the mont.
With that, the dinner concluded. But one thing kept bothering .
Why was Kash so affected by Iris?
