“Sit!” Madam Devereaux commanded, flicking her wrist dramatically as if she were casting a spell.

Ivy plopped onto the chair, crossing her arms.

Madam Devereaux sighed, muttering something in rapid French as she adjusted her silk scarf. “Mon dieu, such resistance. Americans…” She waved at her apprentice. “Vite, vite! We do not have all day.”

The apprentice immediately got to work, laying out an intimidating number of makeup brushes.

“We will start now,” Madam Devereaux announced, inspecting Ivy’s face like an artist assessing a blank canvas. “You will cooperate.”

Ivy exhaled through her nose. “Yeah, yeah.”

“Non, non.” Madam Devereaux tapped Ivy’s forehead lightly. “Less frowning. Wrinkles are not chic.”

Ivy forced her face into a neutral expression, but her frustration was obvious.

“Good girl,” the woman said, smirking as she reached for a foundation brush. “Now, let’s make you look like someone worth standing next to Monsieur Hendrix.”

It was going to be a long night.The SUV rolled to a stop in front of the grand entrance of the exclusive venue.

    "Excuse me!

She held a crystal champagne flute with the ease of a woman used to commanding attention, her expensive jewelry glinting under the chandeliers.Harry’s jaw tightened as she approached."Harry," she drawled, her red lips curving into a smirk.

    The wedding carried on as if nothing had happened. The music swelled, the clinking of glasses and polite laughter filled the grand hall. Sasha, draped in her designer gown, carried herself with that rich practiced ease, her hand resting delicately in Adrian’s as they made their rounds. She didn’t spare Harry a glance—not once.Which was ironic, considering she was the one who had invited him.Harry leaned back in his chair, fingers tapping rhythmically against the armrest, his expression was unreadable.

    "Let me go, you motherfucker, or I’ll shout!" Adrian hissed, stumbling back, his eyes wild with fear.Harry cocked his head, amusement flickering in his gaze. He lifted the gun slightly, his finger grazing the trigger. "You shout, I pull the trigger," he said, his voice eerily calm.Adrian swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple bobbing. His back hit the sink, nowhere left to go. "You’re insane," he breathed.Harry let out a dark chuckle. "Took you this long to figure that out?""I always knew you were," Adrian spat, gripping the edge of the sink like it could save him. "That’s why Sasha left you, you bloody criminal."Harry’s jaw clenched, but his smirk stayed. "Oh, is that what she told you?" He took a slow, measured step forward, lifting the gun just enough to make Adrian flinch. "Funny, because last I checked, she still can't get me out of her damn head."Adrian’s breathing turned ragged. "You're delusional."Harry chuckled darkly. "And you’re running out of time."Adrian swallowed hard,

    "Fuck!" Ivy shouted, yanking off the latest disaster of a dress and throwing it onto the growing pile on the floor. "None of these damn things fit!" She ran a frustrated hand through her hair, exhaling sharply. Her eyes flickered to the last dress—the one Harry had picked. The one she had refused to try because, of course, he couldn’t possibly know her size. Still, she was out of options. With a huff, she grabbed it and slipped it on. The moment the fabric settled against her skin, she froze. It fit. Perfectly. Like it had been made just for her. She turned to the mirror, her hands smoothing over the luxurious fabric, the deep blue hugging her curves in all the right places. It was sleek, elegant—expensive. Her lips parted slightly as she took herself in. "Damn…" she muttered under her breath. "He actually did know my size." She hated that. And maybe, just maybe, she kind of liked it too. Ivy had spent almost an hour wrestling with dresses, tossing one after anot

    Ivy flipped through the magazine absentmindedly, barely registering the glossy pages. The house felt too quiet and too cold, and no amount of distraction could shake the unease settling in her chest. The butler entered,as he gave a slight bow. “Ma’am, Master Harry is calling for you.” Her fingers tightened around the magazine. She hesitated. “Now?” The butler simply nodded. She let out a quiet breath, closing the magazine and setting it aside. “Alright.” As the butler turned and walked away, she stood, smoothing her dress. Her feet felt heavier than usual as she made her way to the stairs, her mind reeling with thoughts. Ivy knocked lightly before pushing the door open. Harry sat in his wheelchair, with an unreadable look on as he turned to face her. “The butler said you were calling me.” She frowned, arms crossed. “Yes, I was.” His tone was flat. “We have an event tonight.” “Event?” Her brows knitted together. “Yes, and you’ll be my plus one.” She blinked. “Wh
