After My Fiance Cheated With My Best Friend

Starry Night Lounge.

Carmen Pierce, slightly tipsy, repeatedly glanced at the photo her former best friend, Ellianna Moreno, had sent her. It was of Ellianna with Carmen's fiancé, Bo Montgomery, in bed together. Carmen let out a mirthless laugh.

Resolute at last, she stood up with sultry confidence and made her way toward the striking man who stood out in the crowd not far away. As she neared him, she pretended to twist her ankle, letting herself fall into his arms.

"Will you take me away?" Carmen asked softly, reaching up to wrap her arms around the man's neck, locking eyes with his nearly perfect, handsome face.

The man glanced down, noting the girl's fair skin and curvaceous figure. A fleeting emotion crossed his deep-set eyes. “Do you know who I am?”

Hearing Jayden Montgomery's deep, seductive voice made Carmen's heart flutter. Help! How can a voice be so captivating? My ears are practically swooning!

"Of course, I know who you are. You're Jayden Montgomery, Bo Montgomery's uncle," Carmen said, her beautiful eyes sparkling playfully. Her delicate face flushed with intoxication, accentuated by a crescent-shaped smile. Her voice was soft, almost as gentle as a helpless little rabbit, charming and vulnerable.

Jayden's Adam’s apple bobbed involuntarily. The next moment, he gently lifted Carmen's chin with his hand, a dangerous gleam of understanding flashing in his eyes. “Should I take this as you deliberately trying to seduce me?”

Carmen decided to go all in, wrapping her arm more securely around Jayden’s neck. “That's right, I'm trying to seduce you. Are you going to let me?”

Carmen wasn't just stunning; her voice was irresistibly alluring, especially with her pout, effortlessly enchanting.

Jayden looked at the exquisitely sculpted face before him. An image of her with Bo suddenly flashed in his mind, causing his eyes to narrow slightly. “Aren’t you afraid Bo will find out?”

The mention of Bo's name caused a slight twinge in Carmen's heart, but she quickly responded with a lazy drawl, “He climbed into my best friend’s bed—I dumped him.”

As she spoke, Carmen leaned against Jayden’s shoulder, the unique scent of her perfume teasing his senses.

After a moment, Jayden chuckled softly. “So you’re using me to get back at him? Aren’t you worried about getting on my bad side?”

Carmen looked up, catching a glimpse of the tear mole near his eye and those cold, predatory eyes. Her heart began to race inexplicably. This man wasn’t just Bo’s uncle; he was the formidable Jayden Montgomery, the man everyone in Manchester feared! In two short years, he had transformed the near-bankrupt Montgomery Group into a business empire!

Steadying herself with a deep breath, empowered by her intoxication, Carmen boldly leaned in to brush her lips against his. “I’m not scared.”

What was there to fear? A year ago, her father, Jonathan Pierce, had been imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit, and their family declared bankrupt. Once the toast of society, she had become a laughingstock. Even her sister, newly married, was not spared ridicule from her in-laws.

Now, with both her fiancé and best friend teaming up to betray her, what could she possibly be afraid of? Besides, Jayden was incredibly handsome, far more so than her ex-fiance, Bo. She was hardly at a loss!

Jayden suddenly leaned down, his eyes as deep as a bottomless lake, gazing straight into hers. “I want to sleep with you. Does that not scare you?”
