Inside the tattoo studio, Seth Jones let his fingertips trace the dip of Rita Searle's waist and move slowly up her spine. With a soft rustle, her dress slipped to her ankles. He stood over her, taking in the blood-red rose inked across her chest. They had been married for three years, and this was the anniversary gift he'd be giving her—999 roses tattooed into her skin. A broken sob scraped up Rita's throat. "Seth, it hurts… Please, stop…" Her tears splashed onto the back of his hand, but he only pressed the needle deeper, dragging it along until angry red welts marked her body. "Victor wanted those damn roses so he could give them to another woman, and that led to Tara falling off that cliff and ending up in a vegetative state. I'm just giving him what he wanted. You should be grateful." Lying on the cold tattoo table, Rita felt the chill spreading through her. Her eyes stung, weighed down by grief churning behind them. "Isn't it enough? You bought out Searle Group, you hung Victor over a cliff, and left him for the vultures. What else do you want from us?" Seth grabbed her by the throat and forced her chin up. "And isn't Tara innocent in all this? Rita, you and Victor destroyed her life. Don't you owe her for that?"

Rita refused to leave Seth with even a shred of hope.Part of her had worried that being this blunt while he was still in the hospital was too harsh, but letting him cling to hope she knew would fall apart on him later felt even crueler.In the end, she just closed her eyes, worn out. "We're finally even now."Seth's eyes were raw and red, grief running so deep she couldn't tell where it ended. "No… I don't want to be even with you. Rita, we've already lost too much in these last three years."Why can't you just give me a chance to win you back? You used to…"Rita had always saved all her favoritism for him, always taking his side. But now she'd handed that privilege over to Evan instead."I know all of this is on me. I can't erase the pain you've lived with these past three years, no matter what I say. But I've been hurting too. Rita, for every rose I inked into your skin, I whipped myself once."Seth let out a bitter smile and lifted the hem of his hospital gown. His back was

Winnie clicked her tongue, annoyed. "Neither of you will be getting out of here. You married me off to some old man, and I bet that made you feel real good, didn't it?"She shot Rita a small, icy smile. "You too. You're going down with me."That was the moment Rita finally understood how terrifying a woman could be when love soured into hate.Winnie strode to a dining table and ripped the tablecloth off with both hands. Pastries and flower arrangements crashed to the floor, and under the table sat a time bomb.Gasps rippled through the room.A chill swept over Rita. "Are you insane?"Winnie let out a wild, bitter smile. "Yeah, I'm insane. You're the ones who drove me to it. All I ever wanted was a comfortable, luxurious life! Why did you have to corner me?"Rita's voice shook. "Winnie, just calm down! None of them had anything to do with this.""In your dreams."Winnie drove her heel into Seth's wound, twisting again and again. She didn't stop until a metallic taste flooded hi

Rita's palm cracked across Seth's cheek, the smack ringing out in the room.He didn't even try to dodge. He just stood there and took all of her anger. His head jerked sideways, and something in his chest shattered with it. Red welts rushed up on his skin, bright and angry.Still, Rita's heart lurched at the first thing he said."Does your hand hurt, Rita?"Evan glared at him, anger simmering in his eyes. But when he turned to Rita, terrified but still standing in front of him, his gaze softened, and something in his chest loosened.He said coolly, "Seth, this is Pavrielle. The Joneses don't get a say here. Try anything with my fiancée again, and I won't stay nice about it."Seth barely seemed to hear him, his eyes fixed on Rita, a quick flash of hurt passing through them.Rita kept her expression blank and muttered, "Get lost. Everything he just said is exactly what I wanted to say too."Seth swayed like he might go down, the pathetic desperation in his eyes impossible to miss

Winnie stared at Seth, too shocked to think. She grabbed his arm, terror in her voice. "Seth, please tell me you're joking."The fear climbing up her chest wouldn't stop, stretching her voice to a thin thread. "How am I only finding out now that I'm getting married?"Alan Jones, Seth's uncle, had just turned 60. He was half-paralyzed in bed and covered in bedsores.When he was younger, he had been a total womanizer, and he still chased after young, hot models long past the point he should've stopped.How was Winnie supposed to marry a man like that?Seth's eyes were all distant as he shoved her aside. "This was your parents' decision. It had nothing to do with me."In his mind, sending her to marry Alan still felt like letting her off easy.Winnie stayed rooted to the spot, shock and doubt flashing in her eyes. It wasn't supposed to turn out like this. She was supposed to marry Seth.If she hadn't picked the wrong man last time and put her name down as her ex-husband's guaranto

Evan didn't say no. He just told James to hurry up and throw the hangover remedy together.James had known Evan his whole life, but had never seen Evan this caught up in someone, especially a woman. James clicked his tongue, quietly impressed."Evan, now it makes sense why you've stayed so squeaky

Seth's blood went cold. The miracle hit him so hard that, for a moment, all he had was pure disbelief.If Tara was really awake, did that mean he could finally move past three years of messy love and resentment with Rita? Could whatever had frozen solid between them finally start to thaw?He pinch

Rita had never expected anyone to accept who she was, but the way Evan shook his head still knocked out what little pride she had left.A tear clung to her jaw, on the verge of falling, which somehow made her look even more wrecked. She let out a disappointed laugh and headed for the door, eyes sti

Seth was seconds from pitching into the freezing river when arms locked tight around his waist. He hadn't even noticed Winnie step up behind him.His eyes were blank and glassy as he tried to peel her hands off, but she just held tighter."I didn't fly all the way to Pavrielle to watch you toss yo
