AMBER

Morning, 8 AM.

“Fuck!” I cussed as I jolted awake, the remnants of my dream clinging to my senses. The sheets were twisted around me, and beads of sweat adorned my forehead.

In that dream, I had attended the party, guided by Sebastian's unwavering support. We had explore the night together, exposing Harper's secrets and unraveling her carefully constructed facade. It had been a thrilling fantasy, one that had felt almost tangible. But now, as the remnants of the dream faded, I was brought back to reality.

I sat up, rubbing my temples as if trying to dispel the remnants of the dream. "Amber, you need to stop overthinking this party. It hasn't even happened yet," I scolded myself, my voice a soft reprimand.

I swung my legs over the side of the bed while taking a deep breath. I made my way to the bathroom. The co

But there's someone else I've been thinking about," I admit, my voice tinged with a hint of contemplation.His brow furrows slightly, his attention fully on me. "Who are you thinking about, Amber?"I take a deep breath, gathering my thoughts. "Brittany," I say her name with a mixture of bitterness and resolve. "She's Lucas's sister, the one who always seemed to be the ideal woman in his eyes."Sebastian's understanding eyes meet mine, and I can see that he's aware of the history between Brittany and me. "Tell me more about her. Why do you think she should be part of our plan?"I lean back against the car seat, my mind sifting through memories I'd rather forget.

How I had been molded into someone I wasn't, just to fit the warped expectations of a family that had never truly cared. I despised her for being everything I was forced not to be—successful, independent, beautiful, and confident.But it wasn't just about that. It was the way Lucas, my “ex- husband”, clung to her like

Harper watched him with a smirk, enjoying his display of rage."I can't believe that old man, mom! Imagine that? He wasted my time! My time is too precious just to be wasted! How dare he decline us?
