Many thoughts ran through his mind when his wife failed to show up for the dinner he had prepared. Did Emily intentionally ditch his invitation just because she truly hated his guts? Or was she out on a date with some dude, specifically, Duke Campbell, preferring his company over his?
Was Duke the reason Emily had been avoiding his company? Just thinking about his wife with that man had made his blood boil in anger, bringing out the beast in him. Nolan visualized his fist beating that man to a pulp for daring to touch his wife.
As the clock ticked by, he grew increasingly annoyed, thinking of the worst.
"If you think Duke Campbell could give you more than I can, think again." He mumbled as he grabbed another glass of the champagne. "He's nothing compared to me." The thought of his wife with another man just reinforced his earlier belief that his wife was nothing but another gold digger.
