Read Online Twisted Affair Vol. 5 by M. S. Parker - Free Book Online Page A

forgiven him, but it had been touch and go for a couple of days. I personally thought she should've knocked him on his ass, but hey, that was their marriage. The only thing she had done was ask my parents to make sure Rebecca Stirling wouldn't be at the wedding. I had to say, I'd been relieved that my mother had said she'd already taken care of it.
    Mr. and Mrs. Stirling were there, I realized when they quickly shook my hand in the receiving line, but they looked very much like they were trying to fade into the background. Based on what I'd heard, it didn't surprise me. The business Rebecca had been running was bought out by another wealthy Philadelphian family. The Atwoods, I thought.
    They were here too, I saw later at the reception. Their own black sheep, Julien, was there with his girlfriend, Piper. There had been some stories about them too, but she seemed like a nice girl. Even though I didn't know him very well, I'd always liked Julien.
    About halfway through the evening, I found myself at their table. Also there was a young man who looked vaguely familiar. Golden blond hair, eyes so dark they almost looked black. Reed Stirling was older than Rebecca, but younger than me. I'd seen him around, but I didn't really know him. Even so, I could tell he didn't look the same.
    “Congratulations,” he said, holding out his hand.
    I shook it. “Reed.” I pulled up something I'd heard. “You're back. Europe, was it?”
    He nodded grimly.
    “He was just about to tell us why he looked more like he'd come back from a funeral rather than a trip to Europe,” Julien said.
    Reed shook his head. “Love can change a person.”
    Judging by the way Piper's cheeks flushed and how Julien shifted towards her, I guessed there was some serious history there. Reed confirmed it.
    “Not you, Piper.” He gave her a half-smile. “No offense. I'm talking about someone else.” He sighed. “Someone I met while I was gone. She was everything I wanted. Everything I needed. And I lost her.”
    As Livie came up and caught my hand to pull me over to another table, I heard Reed start to tell his story.
