Five Lost Angels: My Husband's Fatal Deception novel Chapter 51

In the past, I was a loner whereas he was the playboy, flirting with other girls. It was nice to see the first strike of karma, making him feel the pain I endured for so long.

My dance partner was skilled in his field, dancing like a trained dancer. Bright was successful in earning my admiration as I disregarded Leo’s fury in his presence.

“You are quite a dancer, Bright. Not bad!”

Bright smiled brightly as he gave me a twirl and placed his hand on my waist, praising my beauty.

“I am not a trained dancer, but a stunning fairy’s company has done the trick.

You are looking breathtaking in pink, Laura.”

Bright and his sweet talk!

He didn’t fail to utter cheesy lines according to the occasion like always. But it was a formal party, so I couldn’t say it openly. I was about to return his favor when someone bumped into me from behind, I flinched uncontrollably.

“Who is there?”

I turned around to see the culprit. Leo’s expressionless face was in front of me, shocking me for a heart stopping moment. Bright remarked at our encounter.

“Hey, be careful, Leo. Balance is everything in the game!”

I could sense the profound meaning behind Bright’s comment as Leo raised his brow and said,

“Some accidents are bound to happen, Bright. Our game is rough ...”

Whatever!

I resumed dancing with Bright silently as my interference could escalate the situation. However, Leo was adamant on causing trouble, he deliberately bumped into us on purpose. I didn’t know what he was trying to prove.

Gritting my teeth, I tolerated it all just for the sake of peace in the party until some fans came to request Bright.

“Will you please allow us to have some pictures with you, Sir? We are your huge fans!”

Those girls reminded me of my passion for my idols as Bright’s courteous reply resounded in my ears.

“Thank you so much for your kind words. Where can I meet your friends?”

Bright left with girls for autographs and pictures, and I decided to sit and relax for some time, my high heels were killing me. But it turned out to be my unfulfilled fantasy as Leo immediately shooed her dance partner away and flashed before me.

“Can I have this dance with you, Miss Laura?”

But now, I stepped on his both feet, this repeated assault left a permanent scowl on his face. And honestly speaking, it was the highlight of today’s party.

His angry displeasure had made my day!

If there was another man, he would have left me for a better dance partner, but Leo’s persistence made matchless. So, I question him.

“Mr. Leo, I think there are other girls in the party as well, but you are still sticking to my side.

Should I take it as a sign that you are trying to pursue me romantically?”

Leo’s exuberant eyes shined with passion as he nodded seriously.

“Eyes on the prize, Miss Laura!”

What the hell!

His boldness struck me with an invisible force as a suspended moment of shock stole my voice. I bit my tongue to confirm what I had heard just now wasn’t a figment of my imagination. I stared at Leo, whose face took a haunted look as I responded with a query of my own.

“Would you like to be the home wrecker, Mr. Leo?”
