Chapter 2

Ryan sat on the edge of the hotel bed, his shirt still half buttoned as he absentmindedly checked his phone.The wedding was in just a few months, and preparations were well underway.Alexis had been sending him endless texts about the caterer, the flowers, and the seating arrangements. But all of it felt like a burden now. He glanced at the woman lying next to him, Sophia, her body draped lazily in the hotel sheets, her eyes watching him with a knowing look.Sophia had been Alexis’s best friend for years, but their affair had started a few months ago, right under Alexis’s nose. It was intoxicating, thrilling in a way his relationship with Alexis never had been.While Alexis was focused on planning the perfect wedding, Ryan had been consumed by the forbidden, the secret moments he stole with Sophia when no one was watching.“This whole wedding thing is a joke,” Ryan muttered, tossing his phone onto the bed. “She’s got everything planned down to the last detail, but it’s not real. Not

Chapter 3

The city lights blurred into a hazy glow through the rain soaked taxi window as Alexis sat frozen, her hands trembling on her lap.Her heart pounded so loudly in her chest that she thought it might drown out the sound of her own thoughts.The message replayed in her mind over and over again: "If you want to know the truth about Ryan, come to the Bellaire Hotel. Room 407."The Bellaire Hotel.Her special place with Ryan.A place filled with memories of laughter, whispered promises, and love, or at least what she thought had been love.How could this be happening?It couldn’t be real.She clung to the hope that it was some cruel joke, a mistake, anything but the truth. But the sinking feeling in her stomach only deepened as the taxi neared the hotel.The air inside the cab was stifling, the sound of rain tapping against the windows doing nothing to calm her nerves.Every rational part of her brain told her to stop, to turn around and go home, to pretend she hadn’t seen the message. Yet,

Chapter 4

The chill of the hotel stairwell seeped into Alexis’s skin as she lay on the cold floor, her arms wrapped tightly around herself.Her sobs had quieted to shallow gasps, leaving her drained and hollow. For the first time in her life, she felt utterly untethered, like a ship lost at sea with no beacon to guide her back to shore. She barely registered the sound of footsteps approaching.At first, she thought they might belong to Ryan or Sophia, coming to twist the knife even deeper. But when a warm, gentle voice broke through her haze, she looked up, startled. “Alexis?” It was a man, tall and dressed in a dark jacket, his face shadowed by the dim lighting of the stairwell.He crouched in front of her, concern etched into his features. She blinked, trying to place him, but her mind was too foggy, her emotions too raw. “Who...?” “I’m Julian,” he said softly, his tone steady but laced with care. “I sent the message. I couldn’t just leave you to find out like that and not be here a

Chapter 5

“You think I’m pathetic, don’t you?” she whispered, her voice thick with alcohol and emotion. “I am. Look at me, crying over a man who never cared, who never even loved me.” “Alexis...” Julian began, his voice low and cautious. She didn’t let him finish.Her hands slid up his chest, and she leaned in, her lips brushing against his jaw. “Maybe I just need to forget,” she murmured, her breath warm and laced with whiskey. “Just for a little while.” Julian gently but firmly grasped her shoulders, creating space between them. “No,” he said softly but firmly.Alexis frowned, her expression hurt and confused. “Why not? Am I not good enough for you either?” “It’s not that,” Julian said, his tone patient but unyielding. “You’re hurting, Alexis. You’re not thinking clearly. And I’m not going to take advantage of that.” Her face crumpled, the walls she’d built all evening finally caving in.She stumbled back, her knees giving out as she sank onto the edge of the sofa. “God,” she whispe

Chapter 6

Julian pulled back slightly, the heat between them lingering like an unspoken promise.He let out a soft chuckle, brushing a strand of hair away from her flushed face. “If we keep this up, you’ll miss your grand escape entirely.”Alexis laughed nervously, her fingers still gripping his shirt. “Grand escape? More like an awkward stumble out the door.”Julian smirked, his hands still resting lightly on her waist. “Well, consider yourself caught. What do you propose we do now?”She hesitated, her pulse racing as reality began to seep back into the moment. “Honestly? I have no idea.”Julian’s gaze softened. “We don’t have to rush into anything, Alexis. If you’re not ready, we can wait.”The unexpected sincerity in his voice caught her off guard.She tilted her head, studying him. “Wait, are you saying... like a sex booking for later or something?”His laughter was deep and genuine, and it warmed her in ways she hadn’t anticipated. “If that’s how you want to phrase it, sure. Pencil me in.”

Chapter 7

“Don’t tell him to stay out of it,” Alexis shot back. “You lost the right to dictate anything about my life the moment you decided to crawl into bed with my best friend. Or do you need me to spell that out for you?”Sophia finally stepped forward, her voice meek. “Alexis, please, this isn’t the place...”“Don’t you dare,” Alexis cut her off, her eyes blazing as she turned on Sophia. “You don’t get to play the peacemaker now. You’re as much to blame as he is.”Sophia shrank back, her lips trembling as tears welled in her eyes.Ryan looked between them, his frustration mounting. “Alexis, you’re making a scene. Let’s talk about this somewhere private...”“Oh, now you care about privacy?” Alexis said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “That’s rich coming from the man who just waltzed out of the hotel with his mistress like it’s a walk in the park.”Ryan opened his mouth to respond, but before he could, Julian’s phone buzzed in his pocket.He fished it out, glancing at the screen, and his e

Chapter 8

When Alexis stepped through the front door, she was greeted by the warm glow of the foyer chandelier and the faint aroma of lavender from the diffusers her mother adored.Despite the familiar comforts of home, her heart was heavy, and her mind raced with thoughts of Julian, Ryan, and everything that had unfolded.Before she could slip quietly upstairs, her mother’s voice called out from the living room.“Alexis? Is that you?”She froze mid step, closing her eyes briefly before turning toward the source of the voice. “Yes, Mom. I’m home.”Her mother, a poised woman with an impeccable sense of style, emerged from the living room, her silk blouse as unwrinkled as her calm exterior. But the look in her eyes betrayed her concern.“Where have you been?” her mother asked, her tone sharp but laced with worry. “You left the charity event early, and no one could reach you. I called at least ten times.”Alexis sighed, setting her clutch down on the console table by the stairs. “I just needed som

Chapter 9

Upstairs, the walls of Alexis Montgomery’s room seemed to close in on her as she collapsed onto the plush bed.The tears that fell now weren’t of regret or heartbreak. They were rooted in a deeper, more bitter emotion.Shame.Her sobs came harder as she clutched the satin pillow, her face buried in its cool surface.She had been so blind, so naive, letting herself believe in a love that was only an illusion.She had been Harrison Montgomery’s daughter her entire life, protected, adored, cherished.How could she have let someone like Ryan deceive her so completely?The betrayal from Ryan stung, but even more unbearable was the realization that she had ignored all the signs.His late night meetings, the subtle changes in his demeanor, and even the gut feeling she had suppressed to maintain the facade of perfection.It wasn’t just that Ryan had lied, it was that she had allowed herself to live in denial, trusting when she should have questioned, loving when she should have doubted.“I wa
