Chapter 145: Tick …Tick .

WIlliam’s Pov .

I woke up earlier than usual, my head still buzzing from the mess of last night. No hangover, thank God…but the anger from yesterday? Still burning like hellfire in my chest.

First thing I did was grab my phone and call Reed. He picked up on the second ring, his voice low and rough like he’d been awake all night.

“You ready?” I asked, pacing the length of my room.

“As ready as I can be,” he muttered. “But listen, Williams… this isn’t some street job. The security for that auction is tight. I checked the location—”

“I don’t care!” I snapped, cutting him off. “I didn’t bring you into this for excuses. You get the job done, Reed. You hear me? The job. Done.”

He went quiet for a second, probably deciding whether to argue or not. Bad idea if he did.

“I hear you,” he said finally, his tone flat.

“Good,” I muttered, already typing on my phone. “I’m texting you the address now. I’ll send my invite too. You’ll use that to get in, pose as me. I’m not

    Chapter 148: The ShootVALERIE I sat there, pretending to listen to Vicky’s speech, but my stomach was tight with unease. Something wasn’t right.Sienna leaned closer. “Val, what’s wrong? You’ve been twitchy since we got here.”“Nothing,” I muttered, forcing a smile. But it wasn’t nothing.Williams wasn’t here. At all. I had been searching for him since we walked in, and he was nowhere. And then… I saw Reed.Reed. Of all people. Williams’ old friend—the one everyone hated. Trouble followed him everywhere, and Williams still kept him around for his dirty jobs.If Williams wasn’t here and Reed was… this wasn’t just a coincidence. This was the surprise Williams was talking about.I turned back to the stage. Vicky was speaking confidently now, thanking everyone for coming. She looked so calm, so unaware. My heart started racing.I scanned the room again, and my eyes caught Reed moving toward the side entrance. He was leaving the main hall. My instincts screamed.“Excuse me,” I told Sienn

    Chapter 147: Golden Drama. VICKYRue leaned in, his brows knitting together as he glanced at my phone buzzing on the table. “You’re not going to check that?”I picked up the phone, saw Valerie’s name flashing on the screen, and locked it immediately. “It’s nothing,” I said flatly, tossing it back into my clutch.Rue didn’t look convinced. “Nothing doesn’t call three times in a row.”“She’s probably just trying to stir up drama,” I muttered, crossing my legs and pretending to adjust the slit of my dress. I didn’t need him asking more questions, not tonight.Rue leaned closer, lowering his voice so only I could hear. “Vicky, what’s going on? First you tell me William’s didn’t attend , now Valerie is suddenly desperate to talk to you?”I forced a smile that felt heavier than my earrings. “I don’t know, Rue. Maybe she wants to make a fuss about her ending relationship with Williams, Or something i don’t know …She is probably using that to get my attention “ He didn’t laugh. He just star

    Chapter 146: Breathe QueenVICKYI stood in front of the mirror for what felt like the hundredth time tonight, smoothing down the silk folds of my dress even though it didn’t have a single wrinkle on it. My palms were clammy, and no amount of deep breathing was helping.Rue stood a few feet away, leaning casually against the dresser like he didn’t have a care in the world, he was here for both emotional, physical and any support he can provide. His suit was perfect, of course it was and the way he was watching me through the reflection made my heart beat louder than the music playing softly in the background. “ You look like a princess ….” He wrapped his hands around me and i sighed . “ Do i ?” “You’re nervous,” he said simply, not even asking.I rolled my eyes, reaching for my clutch. “What gave me away? The way I’ve sighed a million times or the fact that I look like I’m about to pass out?”“Neither,” he replied with that lazy smirk of his. “It’s the way you keep pressing your l

    Chapter 144: The D-Day . VICKY. I lay there staring at the ceiling, the room wrapped in a soft glow from the bedside lamp. Rue was beside me, his breathing deep and steady, and for a moment, I envied how easy it was for him to sleep. How does he do that? Just close his eyes and drift off, like the world isn’t about to burn tomorrow.I turned slightly, careful not to wake him, but luck wasn’t on my side tonight. His body shifted, and then those sharp blue eyes opened, finding me in the dim light.“You’re still awake?” His voice was low and husky from sleep but i could tell he was surprised.I froze for a second, then gave a small shrug. “Yeah.”“Vicky…” He pushed himself up on one elbow, his gaze fixed on me. “Why aren’t you sleeping? You need rest. Tomorrow’s a big day.”I didn’t answer immediately. What was I supposed to say? That my chest felt tight, that every time I closed my eyes, I saw flashes of things going wrong? That the silence in this room felt louder than a gunshot?In

    Chapter 143: Tomorrow Night. Williams. The auction was tomorrow. Vicky’s big day. Her moment to shine and rub her perfect little life in my face.Not happening.I pulled my phone out and sent a quick message to the only person who could help me with this.Where you at?Seconds later, the response came through.The bar. Same spot.I grabbed my keys and left the house without another word. Smith was still hanging around in the living room, probably scrolling through his phone like the useless bastard he was, but I didn’t care. I had bigger things to handle, if he wasn’t going to help, i would get help . The bar was lively , a place where men like us came to disappear, to make plans that never saw daylight. And there he was, leaning against the counter with a glass in hand, looking like prison hadn’t done a damn thing to humble him.“Reed,” I said, walking up.He turned, smirk curling on his lips. “Williams. You look like shit, man.”“Save it. I need you.”“Yeah?” He raised a brow, al
