“You know,” Jeremy said, pulling open the door to the wedding dress store, “for someone who claims not to care about the Union, Xander—you sure have a lot of complaints.”

“That’s not what I’m saying,” I muttered, “Weddings only happen once for people like us. I’m not doing it in a rental, it’s pathetic...”

Before I could follow in, Jeremy let the door fall shut right into my face.

“Jeremy.”

“What?” he shot over his shoulder with a scoff. “You think you’re Cinderella?”

God, I could kill him. Swiftly. Painlessly. Except then I’d have to deal with Killian, the Godfather, and my father. Ugh. Lucky bastard.

I opened the door and walked in, I was ushered straight to the changing room and didn’t waste time. I tried on the first dress, stepped out, strutted a little just to prove a point, and turned toward the mirror.

“I hate it,” Jeremy said without lifting his eyes.

“You didn’t even look.”

“Didn’t have to. It didn’t capture my attention the second you walked out. You need a dress that can t

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Fifteen

    Alessandra's POV My eyes were wide, fixed on Jeremy. And he was still smiling. The priest cleared his throat, clearly unsure what to do. He leaned back into the mic. “Do you take—” Jeremy let out a sigh and gently took the mic from his hands. “I said no,” he repeated, then glanced at the crowd. “Do you want me to say it in Italian? No.” A ripple of murmurs spread across the guests. Heads turned. Whispers followed like a wave. I scanned the faces—Lia looked frozen in place, eyes wide, hand to her mouth. Ronan sat back, completely indifferent, like he’d seen it coming. I leaned closer, my voice low enough only he would hear. “Jeremy, what are you doing?” He turned to me, calm, almost amused. Then he chuckled and lifted the mic again. “Well,” he said, “I have a story. A funny one, actually.” His gaze dropped to me, and this time, his smile was sharper. “You’re not quite my type.” What? My stomach turned. The whole world felt like it had gone quiet just to hear

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and fourteen

    Alessandra’s POV “Uncle?” “Let’s go, bean. Everyone’s waiting for you.” His voice was calm, but his eyes never touched mine. They were locked on Killian—and if looks could kill, Killian wouldn’t be standing right now. I tried to pull away, but Killian didn’t move. He kept holding me, eyes fixed on mine like the rest of the world didn’t exist. Please. I begged him with just a look. My throat felt too tight to speak at first. But then I did. “Let me go,” I said quietly. “You’ll find someone one day. Someone who chooses you. I’m sorry that someone wasn’t me.” Each word scraped against my chest as I forced it out. I could feel something breaking.....cracking open between us. His eyes darkened. Whatever he was thinking, I didn’t want to know. I just knew I wouldn’t like it and things wouldn't go well for me if he goes through with it. “Please,” I whispered again, “let me go.” And for the first time in a long time, I saw him blink like it physically hurt. I begged him....and fin

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Thirteen

    Alessandra's POV. For a moment, I couldn’t speak. I couldn’t move. I just stood there, staring—like my brain needed time to believe what my eyes were seeing. It was him. Really him. My gaze drifted lower, down to his abdomen. The spot I’d aimed at. The spot where I .... My lips began to tremble, the breath in my chest catching like it didn’t want to be released. Something inside me cracked, just barely holding together. Stella gave my shoulder a gentle tap. “I’ll tell makeup to be on standby,” she said, her voice lighter now. “And please…..let yourself be happy.” I half-turned toward her, but I didn’t take my eyes off him. I couldn’t. I was terrified that if I blinked, he’d disappear.. Stella was already heading for the door when she called over her shoulder, “And for the love of all things expensive, please don’t have sex in that dress. We don’t have a backup.” A tiny scoff escaped my throat....barely there. And then it was just us. I looked back at him. Killian. Alive.

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Twelve

    Alessandra's POV I stood by the window, my fingers brushing the cold glass.Wouldn’t it be better if I just died?I may have killed the only person who truly cared about me. And now, I had to go on like nothing happened ....I still have to acknowledge Alex as my sister and Luke Castillo as my father, Marry Jeremy and have children for him within the year.I was dying slowly anyways ...why not just But then.....there was Mum.Her face flashed in my mind, and I stepped back from the edge. I couldn’t do that to her. I couldn’t break her that way..... If I die here she'll be in that prison ,that hell hole for the rest of her life, So I did what I always did.....shoved the pain down and moved like it didn’t exist.I threw my hair up into a quick bun, pulled on jeans and a top, and opened the door to leave.Only to slam right into someone.Lia.Her fist was lifted, frozen mid-knock. I stared at her, heart racing, unsure if she’d come to finish what I started.Would she slap me? Scream at

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Eleven

    Alessandra's POV. I didn’t have my phone on me, so I couldn’t exactly call anyone. My father’s men had been stationed outside the door since I got here. They hadn’t let anyone in—not even to drop off a message. Not Jeremy. Not Lia. Not Ronan. No one had come to see me What did I expect? I shot their son and I shot his brother.. There’s a good chance Lia wants to shoot me right now. And maybe she should. But still…..the Salvatores are big on family. Even when they’re angry. Even when it hurts. It’s just a few minutes to my last grace as a Castillo. I turned my eyes to the wedding dress that was on the manquien . It was beautiful—delicate beading, soft lace, something right out of a bridal magazine. But it wasn’t me. If I had paid more attention when it was being made… maybe I would’ve spoken up. Maybe I would’ve asked for something different. Something that felt more like mine. I stood up slowly and walked over to it, dragging my fingers across the bodice. Cold fabric. Perfe

  • Ruin Me: Falling for My Best Friend’s Fiancée   Hundred and Ten

    Alessandra's POV. “I’m here…” I said, my voice barely above a whisper as the alarm went off “I made it back on time. Please, don’t hurt her.” I ran toward the guards, breathless, my legs numb, my heart beating so loud it drowned everything else out. I turned to go back. I had to. But one of them grabbed my arm and held me back. “No...no, i need to go back,” I cried, struggling against his grip. “Please, I need to help him. He’s bleeding. I…..I shot him.” The words hit me all over again. I shot him. A sob broke from my throat, full and raw. I didn’t mean to. God, I didn’t mean to. But he wouldn’t have let me go. I know Killian. I know him. If I stayed, we would still be there going in circles and I would’ve caved.... I would’ve told him everything. He would’ve taken the world apart to help me but my mother would be dead. “I had to,” I said through tears, as if trying to convince myself. “I thought of everything. A hundred ways to get out. But none of them got me here fast eno
