Chapter 68: The Sinclair Soirée - Part 7

Leonel

James.

Ava’s ex’s name is James.

I’d waited for the day she’d trust me enough to tell me. But for all my imagining, I never thought it would happen like this: in front of a crowd of some of the most famous people alive, all of them blinking at her as she stares at them, drained of color.

They furrow their eyes at her, whispering amongst themselves, and as much as I want to do something, I freeze.

I need to follow after the bastard, but now we have to come up with an appropriate excuse as to why she called some random man’s name.

I turn to her, my heart creased with worry, but rather than catch her shell-shocked eyes, I lock eyes with Nicco Moretti, whose hold on her is the only thing that keeps her from collapsing off stage.

I don’t have time to be jealous, not when I worry she’s going to faint in front of all these people.

Somehow, Moretti seems to understand something is at stake from the look in my eye, and before I can blink, he snatches the microphone o

    Leonel ~~~ What have I done? What have I done? What have I done? “Sir!” one of my men yells as his grip on James slackens. I watch the ash-haired man’s mouth fall open and his eyes roll back as he slips out of my bodyguard’s grip. James crumples to the floor in a spreading pool of red. He does not get back up. I toss my gun aside as I hear Riggs’ awful screams. He rattles against the bars of his cage until Kenzo steps toward him in two determined strides. There’s a thud I know means that Kenzo knocked Riggs out, and then the dungeon falls eerily silent. Too. Fucking. Silent. The lack of noise means I can hear Ava’s fierce voice in my head ten times as loud as I usually do, telling me not to harm her ex, at least just for now. My heart tightens as I look at the asshole, immobile on the ground. Alaric is the first to move, kneeling before James and placing two fingers to his pulse. We all hold our breath, waiting for the verdict that stands between Ava’s forgiveness

    Ava ~~~ I clutch my necklace so tight I fear the little green butterfly may snap in two. When Mum gave it to me, she said it was custom-made, one of a kind, yet here is a woman I just met telling me she has one just like it. Riley slips away from the booth, another bartender immediately coming in to take her place, and I hurry to my feet as quickly as I can in my tight dress, ready to follow her before I feel lithe fingers close around my wrist. Nicco. His voice comes out apologetic. “You don’t have to run, this is the world of celebrities, Ava, everyone pretends.” I scramble to understand what he’s talking about, my head hurting from the effort. I whip around to face him, desperate to be free so I can follow after Riley and… and, well, I have no clue what I’ll do when I catch up to her. But when I lock eyes with Nicco, I remember what he’s talking about, and it’s like being dumped with ice when you are already dripping from cold water. We were discussing Leonel and my en

    Leonel ~~~ We drag James down to the underground car park, his protests muffled in Kenzo’s palm as we go. There, I’m able to unlock my secret cell, the same cell Riggs is currently the only resident of. When we pull James into the dank room, I immediately hear Riggs rattle against his cell, no longer tied from the ceiling, just like Ava requested. The same way James will not die today, just like Ava requested . My men kick James at his knees, causing him to buckle and kneel before me. He cries out, his kneecaps slamming into the hard, graveled floor. “Sorry I didn’t put a carpet for you, James. I’m not in the habit of giving comforts to men who stalk and torment my fiancée.” Kenzo finally removes his palm from James’ mouth, restraining his the asshole’s hands instead. “What the fuck are you on, Sinclair?” James spits at me, his anger nearly as loud as his fear. “You know damn well, James.” I bite back, not touching him, not yet. “Mon-ter,” Riggs mumbles, no longer able to s

    Ava ~~~ Move. Ava… move. I try. With everything in me I try, but my feet are suddenly glued to the sleek wooden stage, and I have no sense of direction. If I take a step on the same floor my ex has walked all over, the same floor he’s stood on to creep at me, I may collapse. I want to grip Leonel for comfort, but he’s rushed out of the hall, chasing James under the guise of getting some reward for the other James in the hall. It’s just me, faced with the 500 guests desperate to hear what I have to say next. Is it hot in here? I swear to God it was cold just a second ago. Sweat drips down my temple and slides into my lace neckline. I inwardly thank Brianna for making sure my makeup was waterproof. “Ava,” someone whispers gently, the person whose arm has been wrapped around me since Leonel bounded out of the hall. Nicco. My heart skips a little beat, remembering he’s beside me, and, like a robot, I turn towards him, afraid if I move much faster my brain might colla

    Ava ~~~ I’m staring at Nicco Moretti. The Nicco Moretti, whose books saved my life when I was 20 and heartbroken. Who I watched interview after interview about and developed a huge crush on. Who I promised to meet when he was in America. Who was smiling at me like I was the only person that mattered. “Of course we didn’t forget you, could anyone forget the Nicco Moretti?” I said, beaming for the audience, but inside my heart was a wild animal that didn’t understand what to do in its cage. Nicco. Here. In front of me. The Nicco of so many of my dreams. What a crazy, fucking day. “Aw please, Miss Allard,” he answers me. “You’re too kind.” What do I say next? Suddenly, the presence of 500 people, my fake/real fiancé, my ex somewhere in the crowd, and my celebrity crush in front of me overwhelms my brain, and I fear if I lift the microphone to my lips all that will come out is a long stutter. “Mrs. Sinclair,” I thankfully hear from outside myself, allowing me not to ans
