“No, tell me! I want to know.”
Selina wore a conflicted expression, as if she was uncertain about telling Ivy. Then, she said, “Only if
you promise not to be too angry. I know how you feel about Lyndon. You’ve been in love with him for
years, and you’re not going to like what you’re about to hear. When he returned to Skrix, I found out
that he had feelings for Rosalynn.”
She continued, “You should have seen the way he looked at her. His eyes never left her. He even
called her Rosa. I got goosebumps after hearing it. She has Brian but she still keeps sticking close to
other men. That’s no way for a married woman to behave.”

and cold.
“She reminds me of Rosanna. They’re both snakes. What did Brian say about it? Is he just going to
watch her seduce other men?”
Selina said, “It’s just like you said- she’s a seductress. She’s probably well-versed in pleasing men.”
Ivy nodded, her face twisting with contempt.
“You’re right. That gold -digger would do everything she could to sink her claws on a wealthy man.
Disgusting!”
Selina sighed, “It’s a pity. It makes us sick to our stomachs, but the men think otherwise. Maybe they
enjoy it.”
Ivy’s face was taut with anger. Then, a sudden thought came to her.
There was a trace of shyness in her voice when she asked, “Selina, is Lyndon staying in the Moreno
family house?”
If he lived with them, Ivy could make up an excuse to visit.
Selina shook her head.
“They offered for him to stay, but he refused.
He insisted on staying in a hotel- the same one Rosalynn lives in.”

“What! What on earth is he planning to do? Is he really going to have an affair with a married woman?”
Ivy’s voice had risen with fury and disbelief.
“Who knows?”
“That bitch! Don’t let me get a hold of her, because once I do…”
Ivy’s voice trailed off with an unfinished threat. She was seething with jealousy.
In the private room of the restaurant, Brian still had the same cold face.
Rosalynn poured him water.
“Are you still mad?”
This time it wasn’t her who was angry— he was.
Brian stared at her, then reached for her hand.
