Davina and Shaun has been friends since forever, and they finally can meet with their classmates for school reunion. But this reunion is more of an announcement and even opening old wounds Will Davina and Shaun survive the wreak?

Chapter 1 Too late

CHAPTER ONE

Davina

The knots in her stomach tightened as the cab raced past the Reelers gate, the landmark that signified she was now halfway to her destination. Cracking her fingers, she wondered how on earth she had been convinced to agree to such madness, the madness of spending not just an evening, but an entire weekend, with people who were as good as strangers to her, people she hadn't seen in two decades.

The closer the cab got to the luxury hotel and golf course that had been chosen for the occasion, owned by one of her old classmates no less, the more she regretted opting for a simple t-shirt over blue jeans outfit. Stealing a look at her bare face in the rear-view mirror, she knew one thing she would not be doing on arrival was make a statement. Hopefully, she'd get the chance to change into something else before the evening's mixer, but even she knew none of her other choices would be significantly different from what she already had on.

Cursing under her breath, she felt like kicking herself for not preparing better for the weekend and at least doing some shopping.Reaching for her phone, she dialled Shaun for what had to be the millionth time and cursed again when it rang off. For someone who'd promised to be her support that weekend, he was already doing an awful job of it. Her best friend since high school, and the only person she'd kept in touch with over the years, he'd been the one who'd convinced her to attend the reunion.

"It's going to be a blast!" he'd raved, when they each received the invite months before. "I've heard a lot of people plan to attend, so it's going to be crazy fun."

And like a fool, she'd signed up for it. In retrospect, as Shaun was still very friendly with a good number of their old classmates, a sharp contrast to her own zero tally, what was going to be 'crazy fun' for him was bound to be anything but, for her. The only silver lining she could see was spending time with him. Even though they were still as tight as thieves, it didn't change the fact that they lived continents apart and didn't see each other as often as they liked. While she had remained in the States, Shaun moved to the United Kingdom immediately after school. But distance hadn't weakened their friendship, and they were just as close as the first time they'd clapped eyes on each other as young fourteen-year-olds.

Putting the phone back in her bag, she inhaled deeply. She was just going to have to face the music without him.

I Slapped My Fiancé-Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis

Being second best is practically in my DNA. My sister got the love, the attention, the spotlight. And now, even her damn fiancé. Technically, Rhys Granger was my fiancé now-billionaire, devastatingly hot, and a walking Wall Street wet dream. My parents shoved me into the engagement after Catherine disappeared, and honestly? I didn't mind. I'd crushed on Rhys for years. This was my chance, right? My turn to be the chosen one? Wrong. One night, he slapped me. Over a mug. A stupid, chipped, ugly mug my sister gave him years ago. That's when it hit me-he didn't love me. He didn't even see me. I was just a warm-bodied placeholder for the woman he actually wanted. And apparently, I wasn't even worth as much as a glorified coffee cup. So I slapped him right back, dumped his ass, and prepared for disaster-my parents losing their minds, Rhys throwing a billionaire tantrum, his terrifying family plotting my untimely demise. Obviously, I needed alcohol. A lot of alcohol. Enter him. Tall, dangerous, unfairly hot. The kind of man who makes you want to sin just by existing. I'd met him only once before, and that night, he just happened to be at the same bar as my drunk, self-pitying self. So I did the only logical thing: I dragged him into a hotel room and ripped off his clothes. It was reckless. It was stupid. It was completely ill-advised. But it was also: Best. Sex. Of. My. Life. And, as it turned out, the best decision I'd ever made. Because my one-night stand isn't just some random guy. He's richer than Rhys, more powerful than my entire family, and definitely more dangerous than I should be playing with. And now, he's not letting me go.
