Deandre Romeo

"So.. wife.. care to tell me why are you eaves dropping my conversation with Lucas earlier?" I whispered it to her ear and I felt her body tense.

"I.. I.."

"Why?" I kissed her cheek slowly trailing kisses towards her lips.

"I was going to find some air and then I heard you.. that's all." She said in a little panic tone. I held her chin and made her look at me. I leaned closer to her but she stopped me.

"People are looking.. cooperate with me." I said and she put her hand down. I kissed her slowly and then looked into her eyes.

"What did you hear?" I asked as I caressed her cheek with the back of my hand. I slowly trailed my hand to her bareshoulder.

"Ladies and Gentleman.." It's starting and I decided to stop interrogating her. I put my hand around her shoulder again and our eyes both looking at the stage. There's an introduction and an auction. I'm not interested in participating auction.

I was planning to go away but Tatiana held my hand preventing me to go. She turned to me and raised my eyebrows.

"Where are you going?"

"Talk to my other friends." I answered.

"Deandre, how can you let your wife be alone? What if someone trying to talk to her?" Renny said and I shook my head.

"She's my wife, no one will take it away from me, Renny. Don't worry.." I left her alone and my eyes roamed around the ballroom. I spotted my target and smirked. I walked to him and sat down on the chair beside him.

"Well well well.. It's the Romeo."

"I'll take that as a thankyou for saving your ass before you turn so poor." I smirked as I looked to the front. I bet that he's pissed.

"What do you want?"

"What I really want is that you stay away from my wife, I'm warning you kiddo." I patted his shoulder and I got up again. I walked out from the ballroom.

"What did you say to Eric?" Suddenly I heard Tatiana asked me. I kept walking towards the lift and pushed the lift button.

"Deandre, what did you say to Eric?"

"I said to him to work hard if he doesn't want to end up on the street." I answered as the lift door open. I walked inside and Tatiana joined me. I pressed the highest floor in this building and closed the door.

I took a really deep breath and closed my eyes for a few seconds until we arrived at the top of the building. The door opened and I walked out with Tatiana tailing behind me.

I stood on the edge of the building looking at the view and down to the street.

"You're going to commit suicide?" Tatiana asked.

"I wish I can do that." I answered.

"I want to ask you something and I want you to answer it honestly." Tatiana said in a serious tone, I turned my head to her. I raised my eyebrows and she took a really deep breath.

"Did you set up Eric so he looked like he was cheating?" She asked and actually I don't know what is she talking about but it seems Eric talked to her about something.

"You sent your employee to be with Eric right? You set him up!" Tatiana bursted and I found myself nodding even though I didn't do that. I mean.. It's better for her to hate me so we can have a divorce easily later on. It's good to have this situation now so we have this distance. Besides.. if I told her that I didn't do it, she won't believe me anyway.

"You bastard!" She bursted and she started to hit my chest.

"I can't believe that I trust you and ended up hating him!" She bursted and I just stood there.

"You're the idiot one.." I said coldly and she looked at me disbelief. She looked at me with hate and anger in her eyes.

"I don't know what you want.. but if you're messing with my dad or Eric, I won't forgive you." She hissed coldly looking at me like she will kill me in a second.

"Don't talk to me ever again! I hate you!" She shouted at me and I just looked at her without saying anything. She walked towards the lift and then I turned my body to the view again.

I decided to go back to the ballroom again and found Tatiana talking to Eric. I walked to her quickly and slipped my arm around her waist.

"Hey babe.." I kissed her cheek in front of Eric and he looked at me with a killing eyes.

"Hey Eric." I smirked.

"You need to watch your back." Eric warned me.

"You're the one who need to watch your back first." I said in a cold tone and looked at him with a warning eyes. He looked at Tatiana once again and then he left us.

"Deandre!"

"Hello Mrs. Paul." I hugged her.

"It's been so long.."

"Oh Mrs. Paul, this is my wife.. Tatiana. Tatiana, this is my friend's wife, Mrs. Whitney Paul."

"Nice to meet you, Tatiana. You're a one lucky girl to have this man." Mrs. Paul shook her hand.

"I am so lucky." Tatiana put her hand on my chest but she said that in a sarcastic tone.

"Oh.. Tomorrow is Tim's 60th birthday and you both are invited! Please be there because Tim will love to see you and your wife come!"

"I will, Mrs. Paul. Don't worry.."

"You will come too, Tatiana." Mrs. Paul said and Tatiana nodded.

"I will come, don't worry.." Tatiana smiled widely.

"Great." She said and then Mrs. Paul left.

"Nice act." I said as I turned my head to her. She looked at me smiling widely.

"Do you think you're the only one who's good in acting? Babe.. I'm good too so you should watch out your back now too." She said whispering it to my ear and then she kissed my cheek.

"Same goes to you darling.. You should watch your back too." I crashed my lips to her and yes.. I need to be aware to my own wife too now. I bet Eric has brainwashed her earlier.

I guess.. we're going to backstab each other starting from now..
