I climbed the stairwell Kade had sent the address to, footsteps echoing off concrete in a part of the arena that had clearly stopped being used for anything but storage years ago.

How did he even find this place?

He was full of surprises, wasn’t he?

The roar of the crowd below reduced to a distant, muffled hum, their voices still ringing in my ears, but up here there was only silence and the distant hum of industrial lights.

And there he was—

Kade.

He sat in a folding chair at the to

    Neither did I, if I was honest — but I had theories, and none of them made our parents look good. Whatever it was, I couldn’t locate the part of me that cared. They could tear each other apart. They’d had twelve years to make things right with me and chosen, every single time, not to. Now they could live with the bill. “Anyway.” I lifted my glass. “Congratulations again. Your wedding’s already produced a divorce announcement before the cake’s even cut. Impressive, even for us.” “Can you be serious for five minutes?” “Probably. Never had much reason to try.” He shook his head, but something had shifted underneath the anger now. Exhaustion, maybe. Then his gaze followed mine, unprompted, straight across the garden. Straight to Noah. And my brother, reliable as ever, found something else to be certain about. “You’re still watching her.” I took a slow sip. “Am I?” “Don’t play stupid. It doesn’t suit you.” “Neither does that tie, but here we are.” He ignored it. “Noah and I ha

    KADE’S POV Fuck this family. Twelve years. They’d kept me away, because blaming me for Finn’s death had always been easier than facing whatever truth actually killed him. Two golden boys, once — Finn and Luca, twins, inseparable until one of them stopped breathing in my arms. One got buried. The other got to grow up believing his family could do no wrong. I got years of silence and a continent between us. And here they all were, playing happy family like none of it had ever happened. Fucking unbelievable. I took a glass of champagne off a passing tray and scanned the garden. Atlas was pacing again — same six feet of grass, back and forth, like a caged animal with a personal grudge against the lawn. That was his fourth glass of champagne in his other hand. At this rate he’d either get drunk enough to stop glaring at me, or sober enough to finally do something about it. He stopped pacing and looked dead at me. I raised my glass. He lifted his middle finger. Charming. He’d b

    And yet some stupid, inconvenient part of me had still wanted him to find me after the ceremony.To look at me.To say something.Instead, he’d vanished into the reception as though I were just another name on the guest list.Good, I told myself. You wanted distance.So why did I keep checking the entrance every time someone moved near it?Why did the thought of him deliberately avoiding me sit so wrong in my chest?“—and honestly, if they spent this much on champagne, imagine what the cake cost.”I blinked.“Sorry. What?”Quinn studied me for a second before her expression softened.“It’s okay. You don’t have to talk about it now.”I looked away before she could see the guilt crossing my face.A waiter passed with a tray of pastries.Across the garden, a cluster of guests had gathered around Luca and Rosalind, snapping photographs while Luca smiled—or tried to.Something about it looked strained, though the distance made it difficult to be certain.I’d spent six years learning the sm

    NOAH’S POV(The reception)“I’m telling you, Noey, I don’t even want to imagine how much this wedding cost.”“Hmm.”Quinn adjusted Micah against her chest, careful not to wake him. He was fast asleep, one small fist curled near his mouth. In her free hand, she held a champagne flute, taking the occasional sip while her eyes moved over the garden like she was pricing everything.“Look at these flowers. The chairs. The food.” She shook her head. “There are probably staff here who make more per hour than I do in a month.”I hummed, not really listening.A waiter passed behind us carrying a tray of champagne.Somewhere to my left, a woman laughed too loudly. A string quartet played beneath the white canopy. The whole garden looked like it had been lifted out of a magazine and set down intact.Everything was beautiful. Everything was expensive.And I couldn’t stop scanning the crowd for a man I had no business looking for.Which was almost funny, considering I hadn’t seen him since the ch

    A bitter laugh scraped its way out of me. “Wonderful.”My mother reached for my hand. “Luca, sweetheart, please. We can talk about this later. Right now you need to go back outside. People are waiting. Rosalind is waiting for you.”Rosalind. My wife.I closed my eyes and saw her standing beside the priest, fingers trembling around her bouquet. Then the church doors opening. Kade. The stranger beside him. The fear on her face before she buried it.My eyes snapped open. “Don’t do that. Don’t tell me to go back out there and smile.”“Darling."I swallowed hard, refusing to let either of them see exactly how unsteady my hands had gotten.“I’ve spent my entire life doing exactly what this family expects of me.” The words came from somewhere I hadn’t known was still open.“And I’m tired.”I didn’t know where that had come from. Maybe it had been sitting there for years, underneath the captaincy, the interviews, every time I’d told myself being the good son was worth whatever it cost.I l

    “Don’t you dare tell me to lower my voice.” “I’m not doing this with you.” “Of course you’re not.” Her laugh came out brittle, thin. “You never do anything with me anymore, do you? You make your decisions. And then you expect me to just stand there and accept it.” “That’s not what this is.” “Then what is it?” Another silence. I stared at the narrow gap of light between the door and the frame, my pulse starting to climb. “I’ve given you enough time,” my father said. “Time?” Her voice cracked around the word. “You want to talk about time? You chose today, Nicholas. Today. Of every single day you could have brought this into our son’s wedding—” “I’m not the one who brought it into the wedding. The paperwork was supposed to be handled privately.” “Then why is it here?” “Because I want this finished.” My stomach dropped straight through the floor. What finished? “You couldn’t even wait until Luca left for his honeymoon?” Her voice climbed, more raw now. “One day, Nicholas. On
