James Sitting at the breakfast table with Emily by my side made me cringe. I knew I had hurt Olivia. I could not look at her in the dance room when my mother asked who she was. I pushed it to Paul, and I knew she was hurt. I felt it. But I also knew it was best to leave things like this. We had no future together. I was ashamed when she explained to my parents how she ended up in the park. I was the one that told Chloe how we met her, and she had told Emily and David. I wasn't comfortable seeing Paul attend to her. I thought he told me he had no feelings for her, then why was he holding her hand, comforting her, defending her and serving her food? Were they screwing? Did she go to Paul after I walked away from her room that night? I did not want to have issues with my brother, so I decided I would ask him when we were alone. "I need to get joggers," Olivia said to Paul without looking at me. "It is okay. I will wait," Paul replied gently, and she thanked him and walked away. Why wa

BEFORE THE INCIDENT AT THE CLUB James. I tried to tell my mother about my decision to end my engagement, but unfortunately for me, my parents decided to go on a spontaneous trip to Santa Braee. I doubted they would be back anytime soon, and telling them my decision over the phone would be rude. The only normal thing to do was to announce the breakup to the entire island, but I did not want my parents to hear about it on the news, so I decided to give it time. Olivia said she would be with us until she took her exams; I believed everything would be resolved before then. I noticed she had been avoiding me, and I did not know why. Paul said he rarely saw her, and I believed she was doing all she could to remain invisible in the Moon mansion. I expected that much after all that transpired between us. I was torn. " Hey," Paul said, entering my office. He had spent a week in Eastwood with Chloe and was beaming. Sometimes I believed he preferred her to me. "How is the troublemaker?" I as

Olivia. I saw a completely different side to James during our late dinner. He was relaxed and cracked a lot of jokes. It was as if a weight had been lifted off his chest, and I could not believe I had this much effect on him. It was amazing to see. "I want us to spend a few days here, Olly. You can go to the club from here, but you only dance for me." He said with a wink, and I smiled at him. "I will ask Paul to join us so you can be more comfortable. Is that okay?" he asked, and I nodded. I missed hanging out with Paul and was glad it would be possible. He put down his fork and looked at me with a serious expression. "I am sorry I called you a prostitute and told my sister you were a prostitute. I hope you can forgive my blunder." He said, and I knew he was sorry. His remorseful eyes said it all, and I nodded. We went up the stairs, and James insisted we watch a movie. I fell asleep halfway through it. I woke up on an empty bed with a note on a pillow. "My darling Olly, I had to

James, I entered the driver's side of the car while Oliva sat in the passenger's seat. I started the vehicle. My heart was beating fast sitting next to her. Who would have thought she was untouched? I felt like crap. I wondered how she felt whenever I referred to her as a prostitute and a charity case. I hoped she would forgive me. The dance was burned in my memory, and I wanted her badly. I was glad I did not move to take her in the VIP room. If she decides to make me her first, I plan on making it memorable. "Hello," Olivia said on the phone, and I wondered who she was speaking with. "Not to bother, John, I will find my way home tonight," She said, and I squeezed the steering wheel. Who was this John guy, and why was she friendly towards him? "Who is John?" I asked gently, trying not to sound authoritative, and she smiled. "A friend that drives a cab. He usually drops me at the street before the drive to the mansion at night. It is easier for me that way," she said, not thinkin

Chloe, I sat at the desk in my office, wondering what had just happened between James and me. My brother had threatened me on the phone, and I knew he meant every word of it, and it was all because of that girl. I was only looking out for him. James always had this notion that I wasn't happy that he became the alpha instead of me, but he was wrong. I did not care about who got the position. As long as he was the one the goddess chose, it was okay. I was content with where I was. I knew it was stupid of me to say what I did, but I had run out of ideas. I could not sit and watch him throw his life away because of a stranger. The girl was bad news, and I knew it. I hoped James would open his eyes and see what I was seeing. Emily might not be perfect, but she was family, and we were close. I knew she could make him happy, but James had been taken by Olivia. My sweet and loving brother had suddenly become selfish. I could not believe him. I wished our parents were around so they could talk
