Chris plopped beside her and.

“How was your date?” Melania asked, almost bouncing with excitement.

I’d never despised her the way I did in that moment.

I used to love her for trying to fix things between Chris and me. For believing we could be salvaged. Then she’d invited those two—Asher and Alina—like tossing a match into gasoline.

“It went well,” Chris said and smiled.

The word well scraped against my skin.

I lifted my fork and pretended to eat but my jaw was tight. My senses tuned to every shift in her voice. Every breath she took.

“And?” Melania leaned closer. “Did you two kiss?”

My fork froze halfway to my mouth.

The sound of cutlery around us blurred. The sea. The music. Everything dulled to a low hum.

Chris’s gaze slid to me.

Straight into my darkness.

Her expression didn’t change. No blush. No guilt. No defiance. Just calm—deliberate, measured calm—like she knew exactly what that question had done to me.

My fingers curled slowly around the fork.

Waiting.

For her answer.

    Hunter“Why don’t you just give up, Hunter?” Alina’s voice slid into my ear. Soft and poisonous. “Look at them. Your family’s already accepted him.”My jaw tightened.Across the sand, Chris was laughing. Dancing. Asher’s hand rested on her bare waist like it belonged there.It didn’t.My blood burned. I’d tried everything to keep him away from her. Every trick. Every boundary crossed. And still—she stood there with him. Bold and glowing. In a way that made my chest ache.“Shut the fuck up,” I muttered.Alina flinched but didn’t move away.Chris turned slightly. The firelight catching her skin. The bikini barely hid what I already knew by heart.She wasn’t shy anymore.Not like before. She was learning how much power she had and she was using it right now.I grabbed the bottle of rum and tipped it back. The burn doing nothing to quiet the storm inside me.Alina caught my wrist. “Hunter, what are you doing?” Her fingers tightened. “I love you. Why won’t you accept my love?”She reached

    ChristinaThe sand rushed up fast.By the time our feet touched the ground, my hands were still knotted in Hunter’s shirt. I didn’t remember reaching for him. I only knew he hadn’t let go once—not when the wind screamed, not when my knees shook, not even when the harness slackened.His arms stayed tight around me, like he was afraid I’d vanish the second the ropes came off.I stepped away the moment I could breathe again.Mom and Uncle Carter were already walking toward us.“Hunter… Chris?” Mom’s brows pulled together. “You two went together?”Hunter opened his mouth.Yes, Auntie,” he started, stepping closer to her.“Mom,” I cut in quickly. My heart was still racing. “I got scared of the height. Hunter just… helped me calm down.”The words tasted wrong.But I said them anyway.I told myself I was protecting the peace.The truth was simpler—I was afraid of what Hunter would do if I didn’t.Mom’s face softened. “Oh. That’s good, then.”Relief loosened something in my chest.Then her g

    HunterI signaled the helper.He hesitated, then released the rope.I couldn’t see Chris’s face, but I felt it—the sharp flinch in her body. The way her breath stuttered under my hands.She was shocked. So was Alina.Chris never saw it coming.She never knew I decided the moment I left the dining table.I would be the one flying with her. Not that bastard.“But you should go with Alina,” she said quickly. “Why are you here with me?”Alina was still close enough to see us. Her eyes were wide. Helpless.“I broke off the engagement. She was never more than a friend” I said low. “You and I go together.” I tightened the straps and looked straight at Chris.Even though she was not cooperating much. I still made her wear the suit.“I won’t let another woman into my life. And I won’t let you go with another man.”I gestured to the instructor.He nodded. “Run.”Chris didn’t move.She planted her feet like the ground itself was holding her back.“I’m not going with you.” She shook her head hard

    HunterWe gathered at the dining table for lunch.Chris sat beside Asher, laughing at something he said.My stomach twisted so hard I couldn’t even look at my plate. Every giggle cut into me like a blade.“Hunter… you’re not eating.” Melania gestured at my plate.I forced a smile. It felt fake.My appetite died the moment I saw Chris leaning toward Asher. My heart shattered every time her shoulder brushed his.How could I eat when everything was falling apart? This is not what I planned.Chris didn’t look at me once. I didn’t exist for her. She focused on her food and on him.Dad wiped his mouth and let out a happy sigh. “Somebody pinch me,” he said. His eyes moved between all four of us. “This feels wonderful, doesn’t it?”Melania nodded. “It does.”Wonderful.He had no idea what hell I was sitting in.He was thinking exactly what I feared.A future where Asher and Chris belonged together.A future where I wasn’t part of her story at all.Over my dead body.Chris would marry me. Not

    ChristinaAlina’s eyes darted between us. She took the opportunity and stood from her seat.Jumping across the water, she moved to Hunter’s jet ski.“Hunter, wait,” She climbed behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.Hunter’s brows drew together. He clearly didn’t like Alina sitting behind him.“Alina!” he shouted over the engine. “What are you doing here?”He sounded annoyed, but I didn’t care.I climbed behind Asher.Hunter’s gaze locked on my hands as they circled Asher’s waist.His jaw tightened when my chest brushed Asher’s back.Rage rolled off him.Hunter’s gaze burned at my hands which wrapped around Asher’s waist.“No, Chris,” he called out. His voice rising. “You came with me. You can’t leave with him.”My eyes flicked toward Alina. She had her arms locked around his neck.Holding him like she owned him.Another lie.He’d said he broke up with her. Now she was pressed against him like nothing had changed.I didn’t say a word. Just patted Asher’s shoulder. “Let’s go
