Alessandra.

The music, the wine, the service, everything looked spectacular, This was the definition of a black-tie high-class event. Glossy marble floors, strings playing in the background ,people dripping in elegance , money and secrets.

The pre-auction event was Texas Hold’em and it was probably going to start soon. The air buzzed with soft chatter and laughter, like everyone knew something I didn’t. I was already on my third glass of champagne. If Jeremy noticed, he didn’t remember or didn’t care. Maybe both.

“We should go… meet someone,” he said, gently tugging me as we moved toward a pair that had just arrived—an absolute mountain of a man and a smaller, younger-looking woman beside him.

What was it with men at these events and looking like villainous versions of the Grinch?

But this man was different; he had an eye patch, jagged scar cutting through the damaged eye, and a cane that he turned in along with his coat. The lady beside him though looked regal. Ethereal Even Th

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

    Alessandra’s POV“Murdered?” I whispered shakily, clenching my teeth as the cold bit into my skin. Lia nodded slowly, as if trying not to reminisce. “It was all my fault…I shouldn’t have taken her there,” she repeated, clutching her face in her palms. Before long, a small tear slipped from her eyes, wetting the grass below. I bit my inner lip. Should I have asked?Lia trembled slightly, and I could see she was trying to pull herself together. Then she spoke, her words coming out in short sharp breaths. “It was her third birthday. Ronan and I thought it would be a good idea to take everyone out of the house for a nice kids party,” she paused, laughing and shaking her head like it was a stupid idea. I felt intensely conflicted, but said nothing. “We were in the middle of a very stupid blood war,” she choked out, and I held her shoulders, trying to ground her in the best way I could.Then, the grief-filled laughter returned. I had heard it when Jeremy was declared dead, like a laugh

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

    Alessandra’s POVMy heart nearly jumped out of my throat as I spun around, following the voice. She was the last person I even thought I’d see, even though my half aware brain knew we were at their house. “Lia,” I said breathily, clutching my chest softly. She casually strode until she stood directly in front of me, her eyes empty but heavy with emotion. She placed a hand on my cheek, but her touch was ice cold. “How have you been?” She asked softly.I swallowed. “How good could I be?” I shot her an awkward smile. She returned it, and guided me towards one of the benches in the garden.It was cold metal, and it seeped slowly into my veins. My chest was a mess. Lia wasn’t scary, she didn’t have any reason to seem that way.But, well there’s always a but. “You know, I could always picture you two together. Unstoppable. But at the same time, it was never hard to know when Killian was fixated on something,” she began, catching me off guard.“I guess,” was the only thing I could muster.

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

    Alessandra’s POV Present day “So…..what were you up to in the past month? I tried to reach out, but I didn’t hear from you.” His hand stilled on my back. Those soft, feather-light strokes that had been soothing me into a strange kind of peace just… stopped. I didn’t move. I kept my head on his chest, jaw resting against his skin, listening to the silence grow thick around us. It’s been three days since the council meeting. Three days since the gunshot. Since the kiss. And I’ve been here, at Ronan’s place, ever since. I should be worried about my mum, and maybe a part of me still is—but Ronan won’t hurt her. Not while he still believes she can finish the formula for Nexus. He needs her. And she’s using that. She made me swear not to tell him the truth. Promised him she’d keep working on it, promised me she’d buy time. And in return, she made me promise something, too—that I’d find a way for us to get out. For both of us to leave this place for good. But before that... she asked

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

    KILLIAN'S POV. ( two weeks after Jeremy's death .. before Alessandra's meeting with the brotherhood ) It had been fourteen days Fourteen fucking days. Three hundred thirty-six hours. Too damn long, and I still didn’t know who killed my brother. The last few weeks was a blur, and after Ronan killed basically fucking person at the venue, I knew he knew it too. Whoever killed Jeremy wasn’t at the wedding. But what was their motive? Jeremy might have been an asshole, but he didn’t have any real enemies heartless enough to poison him point blank. I groaned. People cried like they knew him. Like they understood what we lost. But I knew better. Jeremy wasn’t someone you understood easily. He was an absurd, beautiful paradox—loud and reckless, sharp and observant. And now, gone. Just… gone. He died with blood pouring out of his mouth. On his wedding day. In front of everyone. And no one saw a damn thing. I hadn’t slept more than three hours at a stretch since that day. My room

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

    Killan's Pov (Before the wedding — After Alessandra shot him) Why. Why. Why. Why… doesn’t make any sense. Even from here, I could hear the soft shuffle of slippers in the hallway. The kind of anxious shuffle that always came before Lia opened a door too quickly. “Honey, are you okay?” she said, stepping in, hand on her chest. Behind her, of course, stood the man whose voice could curdle wine. Ronan. “You guys shouldn’t be here,” I muttered, eyes still fixed on the ceiling. “It’s just a gunshot wound.” “Is that how you talk to your mother, you insolent punk?” Ronan snapped, still standing by the door, arms crossed like the world owed him an apology. He didn’t even look at me. Typical. His eyes were already on Damon, who had made himself comfortable on the leather couch, flicking through his phone like this was a casual social visit. “What happened?” Ronan asked him. Naturally. Ask the one who wouldn’t say something snarky. I could’ve told him myself, but he wouldn’t believ

    Alessandra’s POVIt had been four weeks since my wedding. Two since we buried Jeremy.I haven’t spoken to Ronan yet about my father. Not because I didn’t want to—but because I still wanted to help my mother. And maybe.....maybe I was afraid.I hadn’t seen much of my father either. He’s been “occupied.” First with the chaos left behind after the wedding, then with the funeral. Then with Ronan’s response....one hundred and fifty people dead.... my wedding really was the Red wedding As for me?I was just trying to breathe. Trying to pretend I didn’t feel what I felt. That I didn’t see Jeremy’s face in my sleep. That I didn’t remember the way he smiled at me even after the blood had spilled from his mouth. That I wasn’t the one who never loved him back.And he had only ever wanted that.For me to love him.Now I stood in front of Ronan’s estate again , I haven't been here since the wedding.There was a meeting with members of the Brotherhood. Normally, I could attend only because I was e
