Cora"Thanks," I say as I let the driver help me out of the car. I take in the massive, exquisite building standing before me, my jaw hanging a little open. I almost forget how amazing this place is. The last time I was here...it was for the dinner Mr. Beckham invited me and my parents to. I remember the day like it happened yesterday, how Alessandro kept shooting me daggers. He was hurt and jealous that his father seemed to give more attention to me than him. A pained smile tugs my lips."Are you all right, miss?" the driver asks.I blink and nod. "Yeah. Sorry."As I head to the front door, it swings open to reveal a staff member dressed in a maid's uniform. "How may I help you?" she asks."I have an appointment with Mr. Beckham," I say, trying to sound confident. But my lips are trembling and I sound like a scared little mouse.The maid scans me from top to bottom, a confused look on her face. "You're the reporter from Fortune Daily?"I shift from one foot to the other. "I have an a

CoraI give him my own huge smile. "You've done so much for me and my family. We're so thankful."He waves his hand again. "Nonsense.""You seem like you really care about other people," I continue. "You give so much charity and help so many."He nods. "I like to make the world a better place.""And you are," I say, trying to butter him up. "You've changed so many lives. I can't help but wonder, though, if your own son is happy."His whole face changes. But then he quickly pastes on another fake smile. "My son?""Yeah. His friends and I are really worried about him. Is it possible to get in contact with him? Just to know how he's doing?"Asher blinks, though he doesn't lose his smile. "Alessandro is great," he says. "He's currently on assignment for me. It won't be long before he returns."I just stare at him. "Returns?""Yes, it won't be too long now. Maybe a couple weeks."I continue staring at him, my mouth opening and closing. Alessandro's coming back?Peering closely at his dad,

CoraMy whole world spins on its axis.Ethan bolts toward Colt. "What did you just say?""I know where Sandro is.""Are you shitting me right now?""Why would I joke about something like this?" he practically yells. Then his eyes move past Ethan to fall on me. "Cora, I know where he is. Cora?" He sweeps past his best friend and falls to his knees before me, grabbing hold of my hands. "Hey, you okay?"I blink and gasp in a breath, only realizing now that I was holding my breath. "Did you really find him?""Yes. Come." He stands and slides his hand into mine, gently tugging me to my feet. "My PI emailed me all the info. Let's go to my room."Everything still sways as the three of us head to Colt's room. Half of my brain begs me to not believe him, to not get my hopes up. Because I couldn't bear the disappointment. But the other part of me wants to jump on the roof and dance. Finally, finally, we might have found Alessandro.Colt offers me his desk chair, and the two of them lean over me

CoraColt is arranging the whole thing, though I don't yet know what exactly he's arranging. In the meantime, we still have to deal with school. And Heather and her stupid bitch friends, who throw me dirty looks and taunts every chance they get. It's not as bad as the beginning of the school year, but I seriously have no patience for their crap.I study the picture of Alessandro like every twenty seconds. I don't know if it's to torture myself, or because this is the closest thing I have to him, other than Rosie. I touch his face, wishing I could actually touch him. Wondering if whatever Colt is working on will work and I'll see him face to face again."How long are we going to be kept in the dark?" I complain one afternoon, as Ethan and I sit in the Princes' private game room. He's reading from another business book and I'm throwing darts. I've gotten a little better at it, though I still pretty much suck. "Every time I ask Colt what's going on, he tells me I'll found out soon. It's

CoraColt whistles. "Damn, Cora. It's a good thing you're really a girl under there, or else I'd be questioning my entire existence."I turn around and study myself in my mirror. Colt is right—I look just like a guy. Well, a pretty cute guy, if I may say so myself. When I glance at Ethan, I find him staring at me, too, a strange look in his eyes. But he quickly twists away when he notices me watching him."Who made this wig again?" I ask as I adjust it on my head. It's sort of comfortable, but it's a little itchy."He designs wigs for Hollywood," Colt informs me. "He owed me a favor.""It seems like a lot of people owe you favors," Ethan mumbles.Colt shrugs. "You gotta work the crowd, man. You never know what connection you might make.""Okay," I say as I fold my arms over my chest. "You've got me. Where did you meet this guy and how did you get him to owe you a favor?"He holds up his hands. "Hey, hey. Don't make me out to be some criminal. I met him at a party last year when I was

CoraEarly the next morning, a package arrives for me. It's the uniform of Baryard Academy for Boys. My nose wrinkles as I hold it out before me. Academy uniforms aren't supposed to be pretty, but this uniform has got to be the ugliest one I've ever seen. Everything is a dreary gray, as though the school doesn't want the sun to shine on the kids.I pack it away along with the wig, just as someone knocks on the door. I freeze, worried it's the staff or maybe a girl from my floor—not that girls ever knock on my door. Taking a deep breath, I move closer. "Who is it?""Your knights in shining armor," Colt's voice announces.I open the door and give him and Ethan a smile. "Hey, my knights in shining armor."Ethan frowns as he walks inside. "I don't like that term.""Lighten up." Colt playfully hits his chest. "I'm just trying to make everyone feel more at ease."I raise my brow. "I don't think any of us could calm down. What we're about to do...""I know." Colt wraps his arm around me. "It

CoraWhen my movie ends, I stretch my arms and legs. There are still about six hours left to our flight. Colt is watching YouTube videos and laughing. My eyes scoot behind him to Ethan, who's slumped in his seat, head bent forward, eyes shut tight, his book lying flat open on his chest."Hey. Movie ended?" Colt rises off his seat and sits next to me. "Was it any good?""Kind of. I just wish the girl would have ended up with her best friend instead of the hot guy."He raises an eyebrow. "Oh? You like rooting for the underdog.""He knew her better than anyone else, even her own parents. He did so much for her. He sacrificed so much for her. It was obvious how much he loved her. But she chose another guy. Why? Because he was hotter? Because he was a bad boy?"Colt shrugs. "The heart knows what it wants. The guy is better off with someone who actually wants to be with him. I'm sure he'll eventually meet her one day.""You saw the movie?""Nah. But they're all the same.""What are all the

CoraA limo is waiting for us as soon as we leave the airport.My heart hasn't stopped thumping since we got off the plane. I know I need to compose myself or I might blow my cover, but oh my god, what the hell was I thinking when I suggested we break Alessandro out?"Have you ever been to Paris?" Colt asks as we pull out of the parking lot. He drags his bag onto his lap, holding it securely in his arms. All the documents Alessandro will need to get out of the country are in there."No. I've never been to any part of Europe."Colt gestures around. "Take it all in. Paris is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.""I wish I could enjoy it more. I can hardly breathe.""I know." He takes my hand and squeezes it between his.The small city where the school is located is about an hour and a half from Paris. This is such torture. I have no choice but to freak out about the mission for a full ninety minutes. Colt seems composed, though he taps his fingers on his knees every so often.

CoraThe campus isn't as big as Royal Elite, but it's such a maze. Colt has a map of the school on his phone and is trying to lead us to the dorms. The students here aren't as free to leave campus as easily as we can back at Royal Elite, hence the almost-problem we ran into at the school gates."You're walking like a girl, Cora," Colt hisses to me, adjusting the bag on his shoulder and eyeing the students we pass. They don't give us second glances."I don't know how to walk any other way," I hiss back."It's really cute, isn't it?" Colt elbows Ethan. "Our boy Rebel Cox has a little booty."I stop walking and glare at him. "Are you checking out my ass?""It's not my fault. These pants are not made for girls."I slam my hands on my hips and intensify the glare. "Want to say that again, Mr. Reynolds?""I thought the plan was not to draw attention to ourselves," Ethan says. When I look around, I see some guys glancing at us curiously. "Give me the map." He snatches Colt's phone out of his

CoraWe push his papers aside and place it in the center where he'll definitely see it. Then we leave his room."Now where the hell is that damn cafeteria?" Colt says, glancing at the map on his phone."Just ask someone." I'm about to head over to the closest guy, when Ethan gently takes hold of my arm and pulls me back. "What?""As a student here, you should know where the cafeteria is.""Oh." I stare out at all the buildings on campus."What seems to be the problem, boys?" a voice asks from behind us. We twist around and find a tall guy standing there with his shoulders raised in authority. Maybe he's a senior and thinks he's on a much higher level than the rest of the students?"No problem," Colt quickly says, flashing him a smile. "No problem at all."He eyes us suspiciously, scanning us from top to bottom, his eyes lingering on me a little longer than the guys. Damn, can he see right through me and know I'm a girl?"I don't recognize you three," he says, brows furrowing.Colt lau
