Alexis.

"Your boss is a cartoon, I swear." Sierra wheezed through her laughter.

"You have no idea. He's so annoying, but at least he paid me for the whole week plus a four -million bonus."

Her laughter stopped instantly. "four million? Girl, that man is generous but I still can't believe you were working for Pierce Carter. You're lucky you escaped alive. He's not exactly known for his kindness."

I threw a shirt into my suitcase. "Good thing I'll be out of this town soon. So honestly? I don't care about Pierce the night owl."

Sierra cackled. "The night owl? That's a new one."

I smirked. "For a gothic girl like you, it's probably cute, huh?"

She grinned, kicking her boots onto my bed. "Maybe a little."

Sierra and I have been best friends since high school. We even went to the same college, graduated together, and now we're both broke together—true sisterhood. She's like my long-lost twin, except she looks like a hot vampire bassist, and I look like… a 50s housewife.

    Alexis. I sat at my tiny kitchen counter, a bowl of cereal in front of me, mindlessly poking at the soggy pieces with my spoon. My phone was still on flight mode. I knew the second I turned it on, I'd be bombarded with messages from my mom. Probably a hundred missed calls. Maybe even an official "Where Are You?" announcement on her Facebook mom's group. I sighed. I needed an excuse. A solid, foolproof excuse to get out of this family get-together without making it suspicious. Pierce is busy? No, it's vague. He is on a business trip? Too predictable. He fell down the stairs and broke his leg? Hmm… dramatic, but effective. Or he got stung by a bee and his lips are swollen beyond recognition? Even better. I smirked at my own genius and picked up my phone, ready to draft the perfect Sorry, Mom, can't make it text. But just as I unlocked my screen— My front door slammed open. I screamed. Men in black suits marched in like some damn SWAT team. What the hell— "Wh

    Alexis .I groaned as my phone buzzed violently on my nightstand. Who the hell was calling me at—I squinted at my screen—7:02 AM?! I swiped to answer, barely awake. "Hello?" "Alexis , what did you do?!" My mother's voice boomed through the speaker, instantly waking me up better than a triple shot of espresso. I frowned, rubbing my eyes. "Mom? What are you talking about?" "Don't play dumb with me! I saw the blogs!" "The—what?" I sat up, my blanket sliding off as I grabbed my phone with both hands. "The gossip sites even the news, Alexis !" she shrieked. "The ones saying you're engaged to Billionaire Pierce Carter!" Oh, right... About that.Before I could respond, I heard another voice in the background. "Did she just say she's engaged?" That was my grandma. "Wait, what's going on? My beautiful baby is getting married?" My dad. "Alexis is going to marry to a billionaire!" Mom announced. Suddenly, there was shiffles on the other end of the line. Multiple voices sh

    Pierce.I gulped down another shot of whiskey, letting the burn distract me from the absolute disaster my mother had just dumped on me. Across from me, Zane lit a cigar, watching me with a smirk that screamed you're doomed, man. "So," he exhaled a cloud of smoke. "What the hell are you gonna do?" I sighed, leaning back in my seat. "No clue. Maybe fake my death? Go into hiding? Become a monk?" A stripper twirled in front of me, her sharp gaze locked on mine like she could smell my stress. I threw a stack of cash at her—not to tip, but to make her stop staring at me like I was a buffet. "Go dance somewhere else," I muttered. "Man, you're really down bad." Zane chuckled.I turned to him. "Speaking of disasters, what's up with you? The media's going nuts over some girl you kissed at a football game. Your harem must be losing their minds." Zane groaned and knocked back his gin like he was trying to erase existence. "Don't remind me. I saw the gossip. It's so bad I can't even t

    Alexis.I have no idea what happened, but I am never eating those cookies again. I feel like I just got drop-kicked by a hurricane, tossed into a tornado, and then body-slammed by a tsunami. "What the hell did you put in those cookies, Sierra?!" I groaned, sprawled out on the couch. Everything felt way too heavy, and the entire room was moving in a wavy, bouncy manner that was both terrifying and hilarious. Sierra stormed in, took one look at the empty box on my table, and screamed. "Oh my God, Alexis! You ate the green cookies?" I blinked up at her, my brain moving ten times slower than usual. "Sierra, what did you do to me?" She sighed dramatically. "Those were weed cookies for my client, Alexis. I explicitly told you not to eat the ones with the green ribbon. You were supposed to eat the purple ribbon ones. Those had chocolate chips!" I groaned, rubbing my face. "In my defense… you should have locked up the dangerous ones." "See why you should listen when I talk!" s

    Alexis.I dried my hair after a long shower, sighing in relief. If there was a ranking for the worst places to be held captive, Drew's little horror show would be at the top—right next to the DMV and the middle seat on a budget airline. I shuddered never again will I borrow from a pimp."I'm just glad he's dead," I muttered, toweling off the last bit of moisture from my hair. "Can you believe we're actually breathing?" Sierra said, dramatically throwing herself onto the couch like she had just survived an apocalypse. "And all thanks to that boss of yours." Even after showering, she still applied her full goth-girl makeup. I had long since accepted that the eyeliner was basically tattooed onto her soul. I collapsed onto the two seater couch beside her. "You have no idea how scared I was," I groaned. "I mean, I've seen Pierce in creepy mode before, but that warehouse? That was a whole new level of nightmare fuel. The hairs on my arms are still recovering." Sierra smirked. "And

    Alexis. "Alexis, are you awake?" Sierra's voice drifted through the fog in my head. I blinked, trying to make sense of my surroundings. The room was dim, we were tied to a chair back-to-back with my best friend. Ah, kidnapped on a Monday. "Yeah, fuck," I groaned. "That shit they used on us is giving me a demonic migraine." My head pounded, everything hurt. I let out a long, exasperated sigh."I'm sorry I dragged you into this, Sierra." My voice was laced with guilt. "I had no idea Dave would actually show up. This is all my fault." She was silent for a moment. Then let out a full-on villainous laugh. "Sis, please." Her tone was almost offended. "I owe him too. I've been avoiding that cockroach for days. If anything, we both manifested this mess. Congratulations, we played ourselves." I groaned. "Wow. Manifestation really works, huh? Next time, let's manifest rich husbands instead." "Amen to that." She said. Despite the absolute horror of our situation, I couldn't help
