The room erupted in applause; I was annoyed in a second. I didn’t need to be there, but I didn’t attend the past two years and Sandra insisted we come to this one. I should have been at the office facilitating the search for my son.

As I sat there watching people coming into the gala, my mind was on my parents, wondering how their talk went with Olivia. Also, I was curious to learn about what they knew about her that I didn’t. I took my time getting up on that stage after Tom called me.

Just as I was about to open my mouth and speak. The door was banged loudly making me look to see who that was. Everyone in the room seemed to be curious as well. What I didn’t expect was the see my wife standing there looking like an angel.

No, she looked like royalty, her dress, how it fitted her, she looked like a model in a magazine Someone ordinary people could just look at and admire from the pages. She was like a dream, and I found my mouth getting dry.

“You look good, Olivia. Prison agreed with you.” I glared at Sandra when she said that it was not the time for her to be saying things like that “Am sorry, I was just complementing her. She looks really beautiful for someone who just got out of jail.”

She spoke loud enough for the people in the next table to look over. Sandra, go find Given outside to take you home. I think you have had enough for the night.” She wanted to say something, but I shook my head slightly and she shut her mouth

She got up and took her tog before leaving the table. “Are you not going after your date Ick? That is not so gentlemanly of you. A man doesn’t let his date go home alone. You are losing your touch my

friend”

I didn’t know what Ethan was playing at, but I didn’t like it. Olivia didn’t look at me once, since I got there. She was avoiding me altogether, yet. We were sitting at the same table. “Excuse me miss. My name is Brandon Ryan, could I please have this dance?”

Where did that fucker come from and how dare he? Just as I was about to speak Olivia beat me to it. “Olivia Williams, and it will be my pleasure.” She took his hand, and I watched as they went to the dance floor hand in hand.

“This boy is testing my patience, who the hell does he think he is to ask my wife to dance in front of me? and since when does Olivia use her maiden name? she is still a Jones, we are still married for God’s sake!”

Ethan chuckled. “He is Brandon Ryan, sole heir to the Ryan properties empire and our equal in the business world. But you already knew that.
