I slip away from the crowd to a quieter corner of the venue, not hesitating to snag a glass of champagne from a passing tray.

Taking a sip, I exhale, the tension in my chest easing slightly. My gaze drifts over the lavish hall, the glittering chandeliers, and the hum of conversation, until I notice a secluded lounge area tucked along the edge of the room.

I walk over and take a seat in the comfortable velvet chair when I see a young woman, dressed in a fitted red gown, striding confidently in my direction. Her chin is held high, and her sharp eyes are locked on me.

I glance away quickly. ‘Oh no, I sense trouble.’

“Hey,” she greets smoothly, her voice commanding enough to pull my eyes back to her.

I rise instinctively, nerves prickling under her scrutiny. “Hi…” I begin cautiously, then recognition clicks into place. Her face matches one I’d seen on the list earlier. “Mrs. Ellsworth, nice to finally meet you. I’ve heard so much about you.”

She laughs lightly, a sound that seems polite y

    “Follow me to my room,” Lennox says as soon as we arrive on the second floor, making me freeze in my stance.I was about to turn toward my own room, assuming he’d continue up the stairs to his, but—“Did you not hear me—”A door creaks open down the hall, cutting him off. I snap my head toward the sound and find Ryan stepping out of his room.“Ryan,” I breathe out in relief, barely above a whisper.He strolls down the hallway, hands casually tucked into his pockets, but his gaze isn’t on me—it’s locked onto his father.“So,” Ryan drawls, his voice cool but edged. “How was the party, Dad?”Lennox scoffs, unimpressed and uninterested. “Kacie,” he calls, sharp and commanding, drawing my attention back to him. “My room. Now.”A weight settles in my chest, but I give a solemn nod. He doesn’t wait, just turns on his heel and heads toward the staircase leading to the top floor. I follow in small, hesitant steps.“Kacie…” I hear Ryan’s distant hesitant voice. Risking a glance back, I see Ryan

    “She killed herself,” Ryan says.I stare at him, at a complete loss for words.We’re outside on a cushioned sofa by the pool, choosing to stay in the open where no one would suspect anything. I take a slow, steady breath, letting it all sink in.Today, I realize just how strong Ryan is, he’s so much more than strong. I can’t even imagine it, my heart aches for him deeply—he watched his own mother take her life, at such a young age. I don’t even want to begin to imagine how such a small mind and heart could process all that—or even try to understand.The fact that he still remembers everything in detail… is heart-wrenching. It must have been so traumatizing for him— a nightmare that never truly left him.“I… I am so sorry—” I start hesitantly.“Shhh.” He cuts me off gently. “It’s not your fault… it’s my dad’s. Besides, it’s in the past. It made me who I am today.”I nod, allowing silence to settle between us. The weight of the moment lingers, heavy and unspoken. I want to ask more qu

My breath catches in my throat as he abruptly pulls up my loose dress revealing my pale skin, and he snaps it out of my body.“Lennox” I pant, “I’m sorry I won’t be late again, please be gentle with me.”A sly grin spreads across his lips as he chuckles darkly, “You just love to piss me off, don’t you? Then beg, acting all innocent. Expecting what? pity?”He leans in his hot breath fanning my neck. “ I told you it only makes me want to crush you more,” he whispers, something much more dangerous in his tone than his words.His body presses against mine as he grips my bra top, tearing it away.

    Lennox really pushed me to my limit last night. He wasn’t joking when he said he’d keep going until I passed out.

I suggest you wait for him at the entrance,” she informs me. I give a barely noticeable nod and rise to my feet, only to stumble.
