246 A Night of Truth (4)

"I will tell you everything—no more lies. Just please...listen." Gael's voice was low and wistful, causing her heart to throb.

God. Angela wanted to just forget about everything she saw tonight. Things had been so good between them, and she even planned on telling him about Evan tonight. Who'd have thought her evening would turn out like this? It's as if the heavens were against her finding her happiness—they just had to strike a bolt of lightning straight to her heart.

Wanting so badly to sink into his arms yet also wanting to push him away, she struggled. And all she could do was stay still. "So when you told me you were going to have an important meeting, you were actually meeting your future wife? Why didn't you tell me? When were you going to tell me? After your wedding? Were you going to make me a mistress?" 

The last word sickened her. Even just the thought of it felt like her heart was being crushed.
