Mag-log inWhen Las Vegas showgirl Sienna Vale witnesses billionaire casino heir Luca Moretti handling a dangerous mafia problem behind closed penthouse doors, she knows two things immediately: She's in Danger... And she's finally found her way into the spotlight. Luca needs a flawless public image to protect his casino empire from scandal. Sienna needs fames badly enough to risk everything for it. The solution is simple: fake a relationship designed for the cameras, the tabloids, and the elite world of Las Vegas society. But pretending to be the Casino King's glamorous new obsession quickly turns into something far more dangerous when a temporary arrangement becomes more. The rules were supposed to be simple: Play the perfect partner, protect the empire, rise to fame, and never fall in love. But in a city built on temptation, obsession is the most dangerous gamble of all.

It sat in the donor badges, in the security routes Brian had rebuilt twice before we left the penthouse, in the way every plainclothes guard watched the crowd with calm faces and restless eyes. Ronan did not need to appear to make himself felt. He had bought his way into the room with one stolen line in a donor file, and now every step I took felt like walking across a floor he had already touched.The children’s wing looked nothing like Euphoria.There were no velvet curtains or hidden stage passages here. No old chandeliers. No trap doors. Just bright walls, paper stars hanging from the ceiling, art displays clipped to string, and tables covered in donated cookies, lemonade, auction baskets, and small flower arrangements that smell
By morning, my name was everywhere again.This time, no one was calling me brave.They called me a liability.A distraction.A curse wrapped in an engagement ring.The first post appeared just after dawn, polished enough to look organic and cruel enough to be deliberate. By breakfast, it had multiplied into headlines, opinion threads, gossip clips, and anonymous comments beneath every photo of me that had ever existed online.Why does disaster keep following Sienna Vale?How many people have to be endangered for Luca Moretti’s love story?New Zenith children used as props in billionaire bride’s chaos.I sat at Luca’s dining table in yesterday’s sweater, hair still damp from a shower I barely remembered taking, and read strangers debating whether I should cancel my own wedding for the good of the city.For one quiet, shameful moment, I wanted to disappear.Not forever.Just for
Ronan Kade smiled like he had been waiting for me to mistake courage for power.The expression was small.Almost kind.That made it worse.On the isolated screen, his face remained perfectly composed, framed by dim light and shadow. No panic after the failed attack. No anger that Brian had disabled the device. No visible frustration that the children had been moved safely out of Euphoria or that I had stayed when he expected me to run.He looked amused.Like I was a child standing in a room full of loaded guns, proud of myself for knowing one of them had a trigger.“Miss Vale,” he said. “You have your mother’s talent for dramatic timing.”Luca moved beside me.Only half a step.But I felt the force of everything he did not do. He did not take the phone. He did not answer for me. He did not put his body between me and the screen, though every line of him wanted to.His restraint filled the space more loudly than any command could have.I kept my eyes on Ronan. “You attacked a rehearsal.
Ronan Kade learned I did not run.That was the thought that stayed with me after the children were safe, after the smoke vents died, after the stage lights settled back into gold and the fake vendor’s voice vanished from the abandoned phone beneath Euphoria.The bride stayed. Tell Kade.Not Sienna.Not Miss Vale.The bride.He had dressed me in white before I ever touched a gown. He had turned my mother’s costume into a threat, my wedding into a test, my fear into something he expected to control from a distance.But I had stayed.My hands still shook when Brian brought the damaged device into Luca’s penthouse inside a sealed evidence case. My throat still felt raw from breathing through old panic. My body remembered the smoke even though it had been artificial. It remembered the first fire too well to care about technical differences.Still, the fear no longer felt bigger than my anger.Beth sat beside me on the sofa with a blanket wrapped around her shoulders and a juice box in her h
It worked.Somehow, against all logic, it actually worked.Luca left the dressing room, and I went home after changing into my more comfortable clothes, taking two buses from the Cashmere Crown to my apartment on the north side of town. It wasn't much, but it was all I could afford when I first mo
His body froze against mine."What did you say?" Luca's voice lost its silk and became steel. Every word came out precise and controlled, as every word was deciding my fate. I hooked my feet together behind him, keeping him close to me while I spoke. "I know what you did last night, Luca," I wh
The music hit first.A slow swell of brass and piano rolled through the theater while the curtain stayed drawn, teasing the audience with anticipation. Behind it, under the heat of backstage lights and the smell of hairspray, I stood frozen in position like a loaded weapon waiting to fire.Then th
"Why is this girl on the ground?"Luca's voice lowered into something dark and lethal. He didn't raise his voice, and somehow that made it worse."Just like you, she's a buzz kill." The blonde-haired man was drunk. Even from the ground, I could smell the alcohol oozing off his skin. "So you did
