Chapter 173
Serena
I watched Kieran lead Sophie away through the crowd, her hand at his arm, in the presence of everyone, he had defended her from his own sister and showed everyone that to him, she came first.
It was a sort of devotion that was both stupid and cute. If he had taken my emotions into any form of consideration, perhaps all of this wouldn’t be happening.
The women around me were all filled with anger, I could not tell if it was because of the fact that we haven’t found
any conducive place to play but also because they had experienced Kieran do such a thing in front of everyone. They were going through the same thing in their marriages, one way or another just embarrassments.
Seeing that Kieran was open about it and he was the only man that they could have their hands on, they were quick to jump in.
“Alpha Kieran is so weird, many men cheat on throw wiges with women who might rival their wives i looks or
they woro wou u
on but he actually wont to be with

someone who was not only ugly but was older than his wife.” She shook her head. “It’s disgusting honestly.
“Yeah, the least he could do was hide it from the world and not just show it.”
“We need to find where to play.” I said, trying to steer the conversation away from what she had seen.
The room we’d been in had too much foot traffic and
someone kept interrupting, so when one of the women suggested the second floor I agreed before she finished
the sentence.
I knew where Kieran had taken Sophie.
The second floor was where the bedrooms were. His room
was up there. And there was a pavilion at the far end of the landing that would work fine for games.
The pavilions was a great place for everyone to take over the world.
“You’re right.” One of the women said.
We moved toward the staircase.

I was three steps from the top when the door at the far end of the landing opened.
Kieran stepped out.
I stopped.
No tie. His collar was open, his hair pushed back and slightly out of order, nothing like it was downstairs when he walked away from me. He looked up and saw the group of us on the staircase. He stopped.
I thought about another time, when I put him in a situation like this, I had drugged him and he fought it. He was angry do weeks and made me regret it.
Tonight, I never drugged him and everything he did was on his own.
The door behind him opened and then Sophie stepped out from behind him.
She held his tie in one hand. She was no longer in the pink dress but was wearing a dark blue dress now, short and tight across the hips, the left sleeve hanging loose at the shoulder. It pulled in the wrong places and the fabric bunched at her hips where it was meant to lie flat. She

had no curves for it to follow.
Irritation flowed within me.
I pressed my hand to the back of my mouth as tears filled
my eyes.
One of the women behind me said, “What is happening here?”
Sophie’s head came up. “Kieran brought me upstairs because I needed to-”
“She came up here because her dress was ruined,” Kieran said. His eyes were on me. “That’s all that happened.”
“He forgot his tie up here,” Sophie said. She held it toward him. He took it without looking at her.
“Serena,” he said. “It’s not what you think.”
I looked away from him as tears fell from my eyes.
There was in fact no deep feeling of betrayal within me. Kieran had done worse, but if he was willing to do such a thing in public then he should be ready for what would
come.

Thankfully, I could cry when I wanted to, filled with pain. or not my tears were mine to control. And they were working miraculously right now.
One of the women stepped forward. “If it’s not what we think, then what is it?” she said. She looked at Kieran and then at Sophie. “What happened to your collar? Why is her dress changed? Why is she wearing something else?”
I parted my lips and a sob broke out, making the lie very believable.
Wait..
If she had been wearing a pink dress and now a blue one, did she have a dress in her bag? Or was this mine?
My eyes moved to her. The dress looked a lot like a dress I
used to own.
“Is that mine?” I asked.
He held my gaze. “Her dress was damaged. The wine stain spread in the bathroom and she had nothing to put on. I gave her one of your old things. This is a dress in the back of the closet you never wear anymore.”

I was too stunned to even pretend to cry anymore.
My jaw dropped.
“Not only,” one of them said, “did you openly go upstairs with another woman at your family’s event. But you
gave her your wife’s clothes to replace the one that was ruined.”
“Kieran,” another said, drawing his name out. “You should be ashamed of yourself.”
“He knew I don’t share my things,” I said. I pressed my fingers under my eyes. “He’s known that since before we were married. And he gave her my dress.”
“Oh Serena…”
“You don’t deserve this Serena.”
“Your husband is disgusting…”
There were so many understanding words one after the other while patting my back.
Llooked at Sophie. “Why did you pick that one? That

dress is ancient.”
Sophie opened her mouth.
I pushed past the group before she could answer. I took Sophie by the arm and turned her toward the bedroom door.
“If you’re going to take my old discarded things,” I said, “at least pick something that looks decent on you. Come here.”
“Serena!” Kieran yelled and moved forward.
“I’m being kind,” I said. I pushed the door open, went to the closet, pulled it open and ran my hands along the rail until I found a white clean dress.
I turned and held it up in the light. “Is this better? This is beautiful, isn’t it?”
Kieran crossed the room and took my wrist.
“Serena.” His eyes were dark and filled with warning.
If he did not want Sophie to be made fun of, why theŋ9:20 was he doing such a thing? Exposing her as his mistress

for everyone to see, was disgrace not what he wanted for her?
“I’m helping,” I said as I turned to him. “If she’s going to represent you tonight, she should look good for you.” I tilted my head. “If you saw her in that ugly little dress, would you even be excited? Would your little guy stand at attention for her in that thing?”
Kieran’s hand tightened on my wrist.
“SERENA.”
I smiled.
