Adrian did not let go of Lucy’s wrist as they moved through the university hall. He walked with long, aggressive strides, forcing her to stumble slightly to keep up. Her gown bunched at her waist, and her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor."Adrian, you’re hurting me," Lucy said. "You should have thought about that before you decided to lie to me," Adrian replied. He didn't look back at her. He pushed through the heavy exit doors, and the cool night air hit them.The valet had already brought Adrian’s sleek car the curb. The security guard who had followed them out stood by the trunk, his arms crossed."Get in the car," Adrian commanded. He opened the passenger door and gestured for her to slide inside. "We are going back to the estate. You are going to sit in my office, and you are going to give me every single detail about where this dress came from and what you’ve been doing at the library. No more games, Lucy."Lucy looked at the dark interior of the car. She felt

The light from the cameras kept flashing. Adrian had led Lucy to the center of the press wall, a large backdrop covered in the university’s crest. He placed his hand firmly on her waist, pulling her close so their bodies touched from shoulder to hip. "Smile, Lucy," Adrian whispered, his voice barely moving his lips. "The whole world is watching." Lucy did as she was told. She turned her head slightly, letting the light catch the back of her blue gown. She felt Adrian’s fingers press into her side in a possessive grip. "Over here, Mr. Blake! Miss Quinn, look to your left!" the photographers shouted. The shutters clicked rapidly. One reporter, a woman in a sharp suit, leaned forward during a break in the flashes. "You two look absolutely stunning," the reporter said. "The blue and the black… it is a powerful combination. Truly, you make a perfect match. The legacy of the Matthews family is in very safe hands." "Thank you," Adrian replied, his voice smooth and full of easy charm.

Lucy stood near one of the large marble pillars with Zoe.A group of three girls in sparkling cocktail dresses walked toward them. They were students from the senior class, girls Lucy recognized from the art department. As they got closer, their eyes widened, and they stopped right in front of Lucy."Oh my god, Lucy," the girl in the middle said. She reached out as if to touch the sleeve of the dress but pulled her hand back just in time. "You look incredible. This dress is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.""Thank you," Lucy said, giving them a small, modest smile."Seriously," another girl added, leaning in. "You’re already all over the internet. There is this one photo of you from the red carpet where your back is turned to the camera. It’s everywhere. They’re calling it the shot of the night."Zoe shifted, smoothing the front of her green gown. She stepped slightly forward. "It’s a great night, right? The music is so good."The girls didn't turn to look at Zoe. Their eye

Adrian’s fingers tightened around Lucy’s upper arm. The force was enough to leave a mark, and he began to pull her toward the side exit of the ballroom."You are coming with me," he hissed. "You are going to tell me everything.""Mr. Blake! Miss Quinn! Over here, please!"A man with a large microphone and a cameraman blocked their path. It was Leo Vance, the city’s most famous celebrity reporter. He was known for catching elites in their most honest moments, and his live stream was currently being watched by millions. The camera light clicked on. Adrian stopped instantly. His grip on Lucy’s arm didn't vanish, but it shifted. He slid his hand down to her waist and pulled her against his side in a protective, loving embrace. The transformation was so quick. The rage vanished from his eyes, replaced by a warm smile that looked perfectly genuine."Leo! Good to see you," Adrian said, his voice smooth and charming."The word was that Miss Quinn was deathly ill," Leo said, thrusting the mic

. She took a deep breath, checked her reflection in the small vanity mirror, and nodded to the driver.The valet opened the door. As Lucy stepped out, the noise level doubled."Lucy! Lucy Quinn! Over here!""Look at the dress! What a beauty! Is that velvet?""Lucy, are you still ill? Look at the camera!"Lucy did not answer them. She did not stop to give an interview or explain her presence. She just stepped onto the red carpet and began to walk. Every movement she made made the dress to catch the light. The midnight-blue fabric seemed to shift in color, turning from a deep navy to a shimmering sapphire as the camera flashes hit it.People near the ropes gasped as she passed. One woman dropped her phone, staring at the way the dress draped across Lucy's shoulders. The reporters continued to scream questions, stretching their microphones towards her. Lucy kept her head high. It seemed like the dress gave her a different kind of confidence. She smiled softly as she cat walked down the r

It was the morning of the Gala. Lucy had barely slept throughout the night. She spent most of the early hours sitting on the floor, staring at the ruined red silk. The bleach spots had dried into ugly patches.Zoe woke up and immediately began her beauty routine. She acted as if nothing was wrong, humming to herself as she applied a gold face mask. She didn't look at the dress on the floor or Lucy."It’s a big day," Zoe said, her voice muffled by the mask. "We should start our makeup soon.""There is no point," Lucy said. Her voice was flat. "I don't have anything to wear.""Don't be like that," Zoe replied, finally turning around. "You can wear any of your old dinner dresses. It’s simple, but it works."Lucy didn't respond. She knew that wouldn't work. None of her dresses were suitable enough for the University Gala.At noon, there was a sharp knock on the door. Lucy didn't have to open it to know who it was. Adrian walked in before she could even stand up. He looked perfect in a bl

The atmosphere in the small apartment remained tense, despite the cool rain outside. Jonathan seemed to realize he had pushed too far. He saw the way her lip trembled, the way her eyes searched his for a lie she couldn't find. He sighed in frustration and ran a hand through his damp hair."I’m goin

The ride ended in a narrow alleyway behind a row of old brick buildings. Jonathan put off the engine. "We’re here," he said, his voice raspy.Lucy came down with shaky legs, her knees nearly buckling. Jonathan caught her by the elbow, steadying her as he led her toward a heavy steel door. He fumbl

Lucy barely felt the cold morning air, as Adrian dragged her to the administrative courtyard. His grip on her upper arm was extremely tight, his fingers digging into the soft skin just above where her bruise was starting to turn yellow. Zoe followed a few paces behind, pretending to be worried. "A

The ride home from the Matthews estate was quiet. Adrian was already tipsy from drinking too much wine. He kept his hand on Lucy’s thigh, his thumb stroking the red silk of the dress Zoe had picked out. Lucy sat still staring out at the blurred streetlights, feeling the cold night air from the wind
