“I won’t go into details,” Scarlett said quickly. “Some things should stay sacred.”

Jade swallowed. Her chest felt hollow.

“All I can say,” Scarlett went on, forcing a breath, “is that it happened fast. Too fast. And I never erased him from my mind after that night.”

The wind swept between them.

Scarlett lifted her hand.

Her pinky.

“He took this,” she said softly. “My promise finger.”

MJade shuddered quietly as she stared at it, her heart pounding so loudly it drowned out the city below.

“He even promised me marriage,” Scarlett said. “I didn’t doubt it. Not for a second.”

Jade’s throat tightened.

“Then he disappeared,” Scarlett whispered, eyes glistening. “Flew out of the country for business. You know how men like him are. Always moving. Always unreachable.”

Her laugh came thin and brittle. “Do you know how much that I waited? I hoped. I searched. For years.”

She looked straight at Jade.

“The auction was my miracle.”

    Jade swallowed. “And just like that,” he continued hoarsely, “you walk away?” His voice shook now. “You erase us? You pretend what we had—what I still feel—meant nothing?” Her chest lifted sharply. Pain flashed across her face before she crushed it. “It mattered,” she said. That pause, small and lethal. “That’s why it has to stop.” Kain stood there, watching the wind pull her hair loose, watching her stand like someone already mourning something she’d chosen to kill with her own hands. Then she shattered what was left. “Kain. You should know something else,” Jade said. “…before you keep trying to save this.” His body reacted before thought—spine stiff, instincts snapping awake. “We’re enemies.” The word rang between them. She wiped her cheeks with the heel of her hand. Slow. Precise. Like erasing proof. Like sealing a file shut. “I figured you’d find out eventually,” she added lightly. “With all your systems. All your people.” A thin smile curved her lips

    The truth tore out of him before instinct could cushion it. “Once. Before you.” It was like watching a light switch flip. Not anger. Not drama. Just… off. A brittle sound slipped from her throat. Half laugh. Half fracture. “So I wasn’t first,” Jade said quietly. “…I really stood there believing I was special.” “I believed I was special!” “That’s not true—” He reached for her without thinking. Fingers hovering in the air between them, shaking. He stopped himself like touching her might make it worse. “I regret it. I swear I do. I regret not meeting you sooner.” Her eyes lifted slowly. They weren’t accusing. They were tired. Then why does it still feel like I came second? She didn’t say it. She didn’t need to. “Then why didn’t you tell me?” she asked. Her voice was calm now, which scared him more. “Why did you let me fall…why did you watch me hope—while parts of the truth were missing?” His mouth opened. Nothing came out. A second passed. Just one

    The night held its breath. “No matter what,” Kain said quietly, the words steady but weighted, “I won’t leave your side.” The garden lights shimmered soft and golden behind him, but his focus never left her. His shoulders were squared, yet there was something bare in the way he stood—as if he had already stripped himself down and was waiting to see if she would accept what remained. “No woman…” His voice faltered for half a beat, honesty pressing through like he was afraid volume might break her, “I won’t leave your side. No woman has ever made me feel like you do. You’re the first.” Jade’s breath caught. She didn’t look away, but something in her eyes trembled. “You gave me the gift of falling in love,” he continued, slower now, each word deliberate. “My childhood…” He swallowed. His jaw tightened briefly before he forced himself to continue. “It hollowed me out. I learned how to function, not how to feel. But with you?” He took a step closer, careful, as if sudden mov

    The scent of flowers mixed with the faint tang of the night air, delicate yet intoxicating. Kain’s gaze swept across it, sharp, deliberate, assessing, approving. “Perfect,” he said to Mario, his voice low, a razor-edge of anticipation in it. He checked his watch. “It’s 8:30. Do you think she’ll come?” “Hopefully,” Mario said, shoulders tight with cautious optimism. He looked like a man willing to pray to the universe right now. **** Kain let a slow, controlled breath slip through his teeth. The garden was perfect. Too perfect. Hours of rehearsal. Every string tuned. Every light tested. Every detail bent to his will. He had controlled empires with less effort than it took to prepare this night and yet his chest burned like something wild had been caged inside him. He checked his watch again. He paced, fingers flexing at his sides, straightened his cuffs for the third time, then dragged a hand through his hair. His pulse beat hard at the base of his throat itching for th
