The crowd has an approvingly prideful smile on their faces.
"Being the sponsor of this event, I thought I'd use this opportunity to announce something important," I continue. "Zara, my love, please join me."
I see that smile of hers drop quicker than one can imagine. Her carefree motions are frozen in place, her hands shaking ever so slightly. The instant fear clouding her eyes proves that she still belongs to me.7L
I extend out my hand as she slowly makes her way up to me and as she takes my hand to climb up onto the stage, I bring myself closer to her ear, "Did you enjoy yourself with Elijah tonight?"
Her response to my question is visible in the way she grips my hand tighter in absolute fear.
"Did I say something wrong?" My poisonous tone clouds her eyes even further.
"It's nothing like that, Alejandro. He was just telling meâ€""
"Would you rather it be him than me right now?" I grit my teeth in irritation.
