said.
“Matt had nothing to do with that man.”
Ileana smiled at Kate as if she were genuinely amused. “Well, aren’t you the little genius? Too bad you figured it out eons too late.”
Ileana strode into the living room as if she owned the place. Kate followed her, feeling a little like a pet dog trotting after its master.
“So, have you seen his dungeon yet?” Ileana asked casually. “It’s much more elaborate than mine.”
Kate remembered the harsh feel of Ileana’s dungeon, with chains hanging from a cold brick wall and a selection of whips and floggers displayed on a wooden table.
She wanted this woman to leave. Just having this treacherous person here sent shivers down her spine.
Ileana switched the radio station from the soft music Kate had on to a hard rock station. “It’s in the basement and well soundproofed.” She glanced at Kate with a wicked smile. “No one would hear you scream.”
Ignoring the queasy feeling in the pit of her stomach, Kate planted her hands on her hips. “I know what you’re trying to do and it’s not going to work. You drove Matt and me apart before, and I won’t let you do it again.”
“Did you know Matt and I were a couple?”
“He told me you dated briefly, but it didn’t mean anything.”
Ileana nodded. “I see. That’s what he told you.”
Kate crossed her arms. “That’s right.”
Her eyebrow flicked upward. “So why did he propose to me then?”
Kate’s breath caught, but she knew it was a lie. “I don’t believe you.”
Ileana’s lips turned up in a predatory smile. “I know you don’t.” She reached into her shoulder bag and pulled out an iPad, then flipped it on. “But I have proof.”
After a few touches of her finger on the screen, she turned the device to face Kate.
Shock careened through her as she stared at a picture of Ileana and Matt together, Matt slipping a huge diamond ring on her finger, Ileana beaming like…well, like a woman who’d just been proposed to.
Kate glanced up at the woman’s smirking face.
“There’s a lot you don’t know about Matt. Shall I fill you in?”
