My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 33.A Little Bit of Everything
INDIGOI woke up feeling like death had reconsidered and decided to give me another chance. My stomach still hurt, my head felt heavy, and every part of my body seemed to have collectively agreed that standing was an unreasonable request. I had spent most of the morning buried under my blanket, taking the morning dose of the medication Dario had left behind, eating the leftover soup from last night, and wondering how a man who barely tolerated me had somehow become the person who made sure I had medicine in my apartment.I was still trying to make sense of that when my doorbell rang. I frowned at the ceiling. Nobody was supposed to be here. The doorbell rang again. Then someone knocked. I groaned and forced myself off the couch. I had barely made it halfway to the door when I heard Leah’s voice from the other side.“Indi? Open the door!”I unlocked it. Leah practically threw herself inside, followed by Caleb.“Oh my God.” She grabbed my face between both hands. “What happened?”“I’m
My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 32. Somewhere Else
DARIOI locked Indigo’s door behind me and stood in the hallway for a moment. I had no business being there. Actually, I had no business doing any of the things I had done tonight—leaving my own event, driving across the city because one employee hadn’t shown up, buying medicine, buying groceries, cooking for her, and then sitting in her apartment until she fell asleep. I rubbed a hand over my face before heading toward the elevator. What the hell was wrong with me?By the time I reached my car I had convinced myself that there had been a perfectly reasonable explanation for everything. She was sick. She lived alone. She hadn’t answered her phone. Anyone would have checked on her. That was all. I started the engine and pulled out of the parking garage. The drive home should have given me enough time to forget about it. It didn’t. Instead one sentence kept replaying in my head.You’re so cute.I tightened my grip on the steering wheel. She had been half-asleep, feverish, drugged up.
My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 31. You Weren't There
INDIGOI had started feeling sick around midnight.It began with a dull ache in my stomach that I had ignored because I had more important things to worry about. Like the anniversary event. Like the seating arrangements. Like whether the lighting at the new venue would work.Then I threw up.That had been my first indication that the universe had officially decided I wasn’t attending the event.By three in the morning, I had stopped pretending I would somehow wake up feeling better.I couldn’t keep anything down. My stomach hurt, my body ached, and every few hours I woke up drenched in sweat before immediately starting to shiver.I had taken painkillers whenever I could manage to swallow them, but they hadn’t done much beyond dulling the aches for a while, and spent most of the morning moving between sleep and consciousness.The worst part was knowing I was missing the anniversary.I’d spent days working on it. I had been excited to see everything come together after all the running a
My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 30. The One Missing
DARIOLeah looked beautiful.There was no other way to put it.The gold strapless gown fell perfectly around her, catching the light every time she moved. Her hair was swept away from her face, leaving her neck and shoulders bare, and the gold earrings she’d chosen shimmered whenever she turned her head.I adjusted the cuff of my black shirt beneath my suit jacket and glanced down at my shoes—black Christian Louboutin dress shoes, because apparently even my feet had to participate in the black-and-gold theme.Across the ballroom, Rico was speaking to one of the event coordinators. He looked annoyingly put together in a black suit, white shirt and tie, his blue hair styled into a wet look that somehow suited him. Caleb looked just as good beside him.My parents had actually decided to grace me with their presence tonight. That alone should have been enough to make the evening stressful. My mother had already tried twice to bring up the engagement party.Twice.The first time, I pretend
My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 29. After Hours
INDIGOA day before the anniversary, and I had officially forgotten what it felt like to have free time. Everyone at FanHub had been running helter-skelter for days. Marketing was working on last-minute publicity, the events team was coordinating vendors, security was finalizing guest access, and Rico seemed to exist in three different places at once. My own schedule had become a blur of meetings, phone calls, venue confirmations and seating arrangements.Dario and I hadn’t really spoken since the night we acquired the new venue. Not properly, anyway. We’d seen each other in meetings, exchanged opinions, disagreed over things that somehow mattered far more at the time than they probably should have, and then moved on to the next problem. Strangely, he’d started asking for my opinion first. In yesterday’s meeting, someone from marketing had dismissed one of my suggestions about the guest flow before I could even explain it. He had looked up from the papers in front of him.“Let her fi
My Cousin's Fiancé, My Ruin 28. Twenty-Seven is Still Alive
DARIOBy the time I reached my car I still hadn’t figured out what Indigo had been trying to escape from. She was already in the passenger seat, strapped in, her tablet balanced on her lap as though she hadn’t just practically fled from Leah and Kelsey. I opened the driver’s door and got in. She didn’t look at me. Her fingers moved across the screen, scrolling through what appeared to be a list of event venues. I glanced at her, then at the tablet, then back at her. It wasn’t my business, but what exactly had she been excusing herself from? She’d said she needed to take a phone call. There had been no phone call. She’d said she remembered something about her phone. She’d been holding it the entire time. And then there was that little “ugh.” I still didn’t understand it.I started the car. “Are you okay?”She scoffed. It was so quick that I almost missed it. She seemed to realize she’d done it too, because she turned toward me, gave me a brief look, then returned her attention to th
