But I didn't even have to say no to Jace—Someone else was already waiting for me.Hayden stood by a sleek black motorcycle, rocking a black T-shirt and cargo pants, looking effortlessly cool.It was the first time I'd seen Hayden like this. And, okay, I wasn't blind. The whole bad boy vibe? Yeah, Jace used to nail that, too. All cocky, like he owned the world or something.I still remember the way my heart would practically sprint every time I hopped on the back of Jace's bike, arms wrapped tight around his waist, the wind whipping past us as we tore through the night."You're still into motorcycles?" Jace's voice pulled me out of the memory, and it had that same old edge, like he was daring me to answer.I just gave him a small smile and didn't bother responding. Instead, I walked straight to Hayden.Hayden spotted me and started making his way over. But before he could get close, someone else swooped in.Of course. Kylian.My big boss, stepping out of some fancy car. He was w

Could she really be here just to mess with me?Nah, Tanya had to have some other reason for showing up like this.I was about to say something when Hayden and Ron appeared. Hayden stepped right next to me, his expression ice-cold as he locked eyes with Tanya. "What's your child got to do with us?"Tanya flinched, clearly not ready to face Hayden's intensity. She pointed a shaky finger at me. "If she hadn't gone after Jace, none of this would've happened.""They've known each other for ten years—where were you then?" Hayden's comeback was so sharp, even I blinked. "Who cares who's chasing who?"Tanya's shock was written all over her face. Clearly, she didn't expect Hayden to go in so hard or to care so little about her drama.I started piecing it together—Tanya wasn't here just to cause chaos. She was trying to stir things up between me and Hayden. But what was her endgame? If she broke us up, did she seriously think I'd run back to Jace? That would just make things worse for her.

Hayden had one of those faces that just screamed "trust me." Even if he was lying, you wouldn't doubt him. And right now, he was giving me that same look, all sincere and serious.I couldn't help teasing him. "You really took that 'playing house' thing seriously? Hayden, you're so extra."He paused, mid-chop, then said, "Only when it's about you."Well, okay then.This guy had a real talent for mixing serious and cheesy at the same time."Keira, I wanna go too! I've never been to an amusement park!" Yuna chimed in, practically bouncing as she made her announcement.Honestly, I'd been thinking the same thing. That's why I'd asked Jace earlier if I could bring someone. Of course, he just assumed I meant Hayden.Not that it mattered—Hayden would've come anyway. He'd helped with the park's lighting design, so there was no way he'd miss the big opening.The place was packed, but the marketing team had been smart. They set up timed entry so it wasn't a total madhouse. Hayden, Yuna, a

I continued, "You knew Desmond couldn't handle being betrayed by his wife and his best friend. You were banking on him losing it, and when he did, your brother swooped in, cutting him off at just the right moment, making sure he'd crash."Tanya's face went ghost-white as my words hit her. She shook her head like crazy. "No! That's a lie! You're just trying to ruin me because you don't want me getting the amusement park!"Jace grabbed her arm, his eyes blazing. "Is it true, Tanya? Tell me!""It's not! Jace, you were the one who always came onto me!" Tanya sobbed, tears streaking her face. "Keira, you see? It was always him. From the start, it was all him!""Cheater! Liar! Shameless!"The crowd was already getting rowdy, and now they turned on Jace. People started pushing and shoving, and the women were the loudest, throwing insults his way."Stop!" A deep voice cut through the chaos.Everyone froze as Hayden stepped forward, holding up his phone. Without a word, he hit play."..

I spun around, and my jaw dropped.Behind us, all the people who'd been biking around were now riding with streamers trailing behind them. I squinted, trying to read what they said, but before I could make out the words, the bikes picked up speed, and Hayden slowed ours down.When we were surrounded by the bikes, the words became clear: Kiki, marry me.My heart stopped. I whipped around to Hayden, wide-eyed.He just looked calm, like this whole thing wasn't a surprise at all."Wait... are you seriously proposing right now?" I blurted, my heart racing."Yep," he said, super casual. "I'm taking you home for good. That way, no one else can try."I knew who he meant—Wayne.Before I could even react, I heard someone yell, "Come on, Hayden! Get down on one knee already!"I followed the voice and spotted Yuna, perched on one of the bikes, grinning like she'd just pulled off the prank of the century.That's when Hayden hopped off our bike, circled around to me, and, like magic, pulle
