Present day…
The entire party is like a distant hum in my ears, as I contemplate on what just happened.
Regan just got slapped by Lucinda in public, all because of me. Because I wanted him to suffer revenge. I saw the mortification on his face, when it happened.
Guests are still snickering about it. Their mouths moving, while I pick their words. Calling Regan names. Making me suffer more guilt.
'Oh that Regan is a bastard. Has a beauty Queen like Lucinda and he still goes for anything in skirts.'
'He is so insatiable. Look at the way he brandished that Dinah girl in front of everyone. Can a person be any less disgusting?'
'And to think he has been engaged to Miss Grove since they were 18years. I heard it from the Groves and Heartstones themselves. They've been lovers since forever. The man is a scoundrel.'
