Chapter 18

As the night went on, the diamond on my neck seemed to weigh heavier and heavier. I'd had to listen to Jacob talk about how he bought a hotel from Irish men.

"Are you here with the Riveras?" Jacob suddenly asked me. I pushed my glass of wine away.

"What?"

"I see you sat with them...you must be close to them" Jacob half grinned and I didn't want to take that as a sign for anything.

"My husband, Lucas is quite familiar with them" I said.

Jacob chuckled. "So your Grayson's wife" he clapped his hands together. "No wonder he hasn't taken his eyes of you"

I turned toward the curtain to where Lucas sat. He held a glass of red wine and his head was tilted toward the bar.

"You can say so" I smiled. "About your earlier questions about the Riveras" I moved in my seat so I was closer to him. That way, I can whisper if I have to. "How do you know them?"
