Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 33

Owen promised to help Ruby find her love rival, and he sprang into action immediately. He had already picked up on Stefan and Lucinda's relationship, so it was easy for him to zero in on this couple. Stefan, on his bike, was taking Lucinda, dressed in her evening gown, to Ascend Hotel.

How could Owen not know about this?

"Who are you waiting for, Mr. Martinez?"

Mr. Lambert asked with a smile. "Or maybe, would you prefer to go in and sit down?"

"No need, he'll be here soon."

"Mr. Martinez..."

Mr. Lambert wanted to say something, but when he saw Stefan carrying Lucinda, the words got stuck in his throat, unable to come out.

What the hell was going on? Who was that girl riding pillion on Mr. Coleman's bike?

After parking his bike, Stefan helped Lucinda off in a graceful manner.

Owen walked over. His gaze was sharp, staring at Lucinda.

"Sir, have you no manners? Staring at a stranger like that is very rude." Lucinda didn't like the look in this man's eyes - too sharp, as if he wanted to see right through her.

"Well, not exactly a stranger. I've known Stefan since we were kids. You could say we're old friends."
