I woke up the next morning to sunlight streaming through the blinds and the sound of Mira's phone buzzing somewhere on the floor. She was already dressed, sitting on the edge of the couch with her shoes on, scrolling through something on her screen. Chloe was still passed out on the other end, her mouth open, one arm hanging off the cushion like she was mid-sentence when sleep took her.

"You're up early," I said, my voice still thick from sleep.

She looked at me and smiled, but it didn't reach

    Blair's eyes widened the moment she recognized me, her perfectly sculpted eyebrows rising just enough to show she was caught off guard. She set down the gift box she'd been holding and slowly stood up, her cream dress falling in soft folds around her legs."What are you doing here?" she asked.I cleared my throat and held the file tighter to my chest. "I work here."She blinked as she processed the information. Her gaze swept over my outfit, the file in my hands, and looked behind me at the office I just walked out of. Now that she's seen me there was no way she wouldn't tell Jace. She lived for this, for having something to hold over someone's head, and I had just handed her a weapon wrapped in a neat little bow in her favorite color.I turned and walked to Dante's desk and set the file down on the corner of his desk, straightened the stack of papers, and turned to leave. He wasn't in yet, which was fine to me, I didn't need him to be. I just needed his signature, and that could wai

    EVA'S POV I stepped out of the house and into the cold morning air, the rain left the ground wet and the sky still grey. I could sleep all day and not feel guilty about it if I did have work to do. Dante was by his car, the door open. I stopped where I was and shook my head."I'll take a cab." I pulled the new coat he got for me along with the skirt and shirt tighter and looked toward the gate. "Everyone is already saying I slept my way into this job. I don't need them seeing us arrive at the same time in the same car. That'll just fuel for the fire.""This is a residential area. No cab passes here." He gestured towards another car"Nico will drop you off."Before I could respond, a bald man walked up to us and knocked on the car door. Reluctantly a man I recognized to be Nico climbed out from the driver's seat, frowning. The bald man climbed in without a word. Nico stood there with his hands in his pockets, the both of us watching as Dante settled into the back seat.He looked at m

    EVA'S POVI woke up to the sound of birds tapping against the window and the weight of an arm draped across my stomach. I blinked open my eyes, yawning. The room was dark, the grey morning light barely creeping through the dark curtains, and the air was so cold that I could see my breath and his. I didn't remember falling asleep like this, curled against his chest with his body warm behind mine, but I must have because here I was, pressed so close I could feel his heartbeat. He was shirtless. I wonder if he wasn't cold. I was shivering.His breathing was slow and even, his face relaxed in a way you'd never see if he was awake, and I lay there for a moment just watching him. The rain had fallen all night, judging by the wet streaks on the window, and the cold from it seeped into the room despite the heater humming somewhere in the corner. I pulled the blanket higher and snuggled deeper into his chest, letting the warmth of him soak into my skin.His arm tightened around me, just a litt

    THIRD PERSON POVThe lights over the table dimmed and a screen lowered from the ceiling. “I always love this part.” “It's nostalgic.”The slideshow started with photos from freshman year, the nostalgic blue lockers and hallways filled with graffiti and dried chewed gums.The girls always gave the janitors a hard time. It was supposed to be a prestigious prep school but somehow they turned it into a public school. There were a couple more photos of these other students, the achievement, embarrassing moments, before and after transformation pictures, before Chloe's appeared on the screen, she was sixteen at that time, with a side ponytail.Chloe cleared her throat and glanced away pretending to like the flower vase she couldn't see clearly when Simon glanced at her but didn't say anything.The photos rolled on, junior prom and senior picnic and pranks. “I look so old in highschool.”The room filled with laughter and groans and the occasional gasp of recognition until the slideshow e

    AUTHOR'S POVThe dried blood staining the wooden floorboards of the porch told Betty everything she needed to know before she even pushed the front door open.Stepping into the secluded house, Betty found Lucas sitting on the edge of his sofa. The disgraced Beta looked as though he had been run over by a freight train. His left arm was bound in a rigid splint, securing his fractured wrist. A massive, ugly purple bruise covered the entire right side of his jaw, and his breathing was shallow, restricted by the thick layer of medical tape wrapping his shattered ribs.Betty closed the door behind her, the lock clicking into place as she stared at the wreckage of her lover."I told you to be careful," Betty whispered, crossing the living room to stand in front of him. She reached out, her fingers hovering inches away from his battered face, afraid that merely touching his skin would cause him agony. "James did this to you?""He ambushed me in the dark," Lucas replied, his voice a raspy, pa

    THIRD PERSON POV Chloe stood in front of her full-length mirror in nothing but her underwear and a pair of heels she was already regretting. The dress hung on the closet door, deep burgundy, the lucky winner after trying on seventeen others and nearly giving up. She picked up her phone from the dresser and hesitantly typed out a message to Eva.CHLOE: Can we talk before I leave for the reunion?She stared at the screen, watching the three dots appear and disappear, then appear and disappear. Her pulse rate going along with it.EVA: I'm fine. I'll be back tomorrow. Go to your reunion.Chloe bit her lip and typed back immediately, pausing only for a couple second before sending.CHLOE: Are you still mad?? I can come to you if you want.EVA: I'm okay. I'll call you before I come home tomorrow morning.CHLOE: Okay.CHLOE: Can I call you?EVA: Later. Kinda busy. But I'm fine, really.Chloe let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.EVA: Have fun tonight. Get Simon while you're at i

    After the door clicked shut and Vanessa's footsteps faded down the hallway, I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and slumped against the desk, my lips still tingling, and the memory of his fingers inside of me doing things to my insides that I didn't have time to deal with.Dante was stil

    I pushed through the sea of black gowns, red gowns and sparkling jewels with my clutch to my chest, my heart pounding so loud I was sure everyone could hear it. I scanned the room for Priya, or a clock, anything that would tell me how much damage I've done by oversleeping. The orchestra was playing

    The gala was held at Grosvenor House Hotel, a sprawling building with chandeliers I could swear has diamonds. It was bigger than I expected. I, initially, had thought it would be smaller, considering the complaints and requests to reduce the sizes of some things.The first chosen venue would be a p
