Bainbridge arched an eyebrow and asked, “So what’s the game?”
Fanny twinkled her eyes with mischief, “She’s clueless. We’ll see who makes a sound first, and whoever does loses.”
Her finger traced lazy circles on Bainbridge’s chest, her mind swirling with thoughts of vengeance against Vivien and her nasty schemes.
“Game on.” Bainbridge playfully pinched her waist, making her squirm.
Fanny answered the phone, switching it to speaker mode, “Hey Vivien, what’s going on? You’re calling pretty late, must be something important.”
“Fanny, I just called Bainbridge and I heard a woman laughing with him. Could he be cheating on me?” Vivien confided in her, thinking of Fanny as a close friend.
Fanny rolled her eyes disdainfully but soothed her, “No way. Guys have to socialize, and Bainbridge adores you. How could he cheat?”
She tilted her head back to invite Bainbridge’s kisses, her eyes fluttering shut in pleasure.
On the other end, Vivien continued worriedly, “He’s been so harsh with me lately. I’m pregnant now. I’m afraid he’s feeling lonely and looking elsewhere.”
Fanny fought to keep her breath steady, “He’s just busy with work. Totally normal. Ah…”
“Fanny, what was that noise?” Vivien crackled her voice through, puzzled..
Fanny shot Bainbridge a glare and lied through her teeth, “Oh, just my dog. Bit me by accident. Vivien, gotta go.” She hung up swiftly.
Punching Bainbridge lightly, she scolded, “You’re terrible!”
Bainbridge held her wrist gently, “No worse than you, playing her like that.”
Fanny snorted, “As if I need her setting me up with guys, acting like I can’t find one on my
own.”
Bainbridge caressed her cheek, “Aren’t you satisfied with her husband keeping you company?”
That coaxed a smile out of Fanny. They resumed their playful tangle of limbs.

Vivien had driven through the night to the police station, anger simmering as she posted. bail for Bainbridge and Fanny.
The police released them quickly.
At the sight of the pair in their robes, Vivien marched over and slapped Fanny across the face.
“I treated you like a sister, and you seduce my man! How could you, Fanny?!” Vivien was. fuming, clawing at her hair in a rage.
Fanny screamed, holding her cheek.
Bainbridge quickly wrapped his arms around Vivien, “It’s all a misunderstanding, let’s go. home and talk.”
“No!” Tears rimmed Vivien’s eyes, her heart aching with betrayal, “Bainbridge, how could you do this? Why did you do it? Are you just her lapdog?”
“Vivien!” He snapped coldly, “Enough!”
“You’re the one in the wrong, yet you’re so harsh with me!” Vivien lashed out, wishing she could strike Fanny down.
“Keep this up and our engagement is off!” Bainbridge threatened, “It’s normal for guys to have sex partners. You’re just being childish.”
His face revealed the true scoundrel as he continued, “You’re pregnant. Who else would I turn to release my lust? Just enjoy the title of Mrs. Chadwick and the perks that come with it.”
“You…” Vivien stared at him, incredulous.
“Vivien.” Fanny sobbed, “Men need their ego stroked. Making a scene hurts us all. What if it impacts the stock prices of the Sawyer family and the Chadwick family?”
“You’re both despicable!”
Vivien wouldn’t back down, lunging at Fanny as they tangled in a furious scuffle.
Fanny, not one to take things lying down, screamed back, “Bainbridge wouldn’t give your the time of day if it weren’t for your family’s money!”
