Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress novel Chapter 86

Chapter 86 Busted

Douglas planted his considerable bulk on the stool next to Darya, looking pissed. ‘Why did you call me?’

Darya nodded at the bartender. ‘I’m getting a Cherry Bomb. What’s your poison?‘

Douglas frowned, impatient. ‘Miss Miller, what do you want?‘

‘To buy you a drink.‘ Darya swirled around on her stool.

‘We are not exactly friends.‘

‘And to talk about the company.‘

‘What’s there to talk about?‘

Darya watched the glass cabinet behind the bar until she saw what she had been waiting for.

‘Miss Miller?‘ Douglas rapped his knuckles on the countertop. ‘If you are done wasting my time, I’m late for a

party.‘

He stood up, turned around, and froze.

Darya leaned back with her drink.

All the way across the packed room, Sharon Hoyles was staggering towards a concealed door leading to the VIP section while hanging onto Timothy like a sloth to a tree.

She had one arm locked around his neck and kept rubbing her body against his.

‘Is that who I think it is?‘ Darya feigned surprise.

Douglas stood with his back to her, but she could tell from his clenched fists and rigid posture that the man was getting mad.

Darya rose to her feet. ‘Maybe I should go say hi.‘

For a few seconds, Douglas stood rooted to the spot, unsure if he should leave or follow her.

Darya weaved her way through the throng of gyrating bodies.

‘Darya, help!‘ Timothy looked to be at his wit’s end.

He kept pushing Sharon’s face away, angling his body to keep as much distance between them as possible.

Sharon’s eyes were half–closed.

She was grinding herself against Timothy and moaning erotically.

Darya walked up to them. ‘Hi, there.‘

Sharon went stiff.

She buried her face in Timothy’s chest, too scared to turn around.

Did she just hear Darya’s voice?

What was she doing at the Twilight?

Sharon eased back, trying to find a moment to slip away and disappear into the crowd.

But she didn’t get the chance.

Douglas tapped her on the shoulder. ‘Sharon, what are you doing here?‘

Sharon cursed under her breath.

Her cheeks were flushed from the heat and the alcohol, but her brain was working just fine.

She wasn’t really drugged, after all.

It was just a ploy she used to get a rich guy’s attention.

Men loved to play heroes, in her experience.

She thought she was finally getting lucky tonight, but Douglas had to jump out and ruin everything for her.

Before she found her next meal ticket, she couldn’t afford to lose Douglas, or his wallet.

Sharon let go of Timothy and improvised.

She blinked rapidly and worked up some tears before turning around. ‘Douglas! Thank god you are here. I was

Timothy extricated himself from Sharon’s clutches and ran up to Darya. ‘Phew! I was going to call security.”

‘What’s going on here?‘ Douglas glanced back and forth at Sharon and Timothy.

‘He tried to molest me!‘ Sharon said.

‘She tried to seduce me!‘ Timothy shouted at the same time.

Darya said nothing and waited for the drama to unfold.

Her plan for tonight had succeeded the moment Douglas showed up at the bar.

Sharon grabbed Douglas’s hand. ‘Don’t listen to him! He was the one who came on to me!‘ ‘Oh, for heaven’s sake!‘ Timothy threw up both hands. ‘Come on. You are so not my type!‘

Douglas eyed Sharon suspiciously. ‘What really happened?‘

‘She seduced me!‘ Timothy repeated earnestly. ‘She’s not even really drunk! And she kept pushing her boobs out. I was going to take her to security, but all she wanted was to “go somewhere quiet.” Timothy made air quotes with his fingers.

Sharon bit her bottom lip. ‘I don’t know why you are doing this. I thought you were a nice man. How—‘

She seemed to have finally registered Darya’s presence. ‘Miss Miller! What are you doing here? What—?‘

Her eyes widened. ‘You two know each other?‘

Darya and Timothy were standing closely together.

Sharon put on a wounded expression. ‘Did you…did you set this up?‘

Timothy rolled his eyes. ‘Will you just drop the act?‘

He thrust a hand into his jeans pocket and fished out a slip of paper. ‘Here. You gave me your phone number. Said I saved you and you were grateful and you wanted to take me out toner to thank me.‘

Douglas snatched the paper from Timothy.
