Chapter 411 Nate!

Mia's POVMadison stayed close to my side. Her hand found mine. Her palm was warm. Slightly damp."It's very fancy," she whispered."Very fancy," I agreed."Are we fancy enough to be here?"Are we fancy enough to be here?That's a question.The venue looked like someone had taken a page from Architectural Digest and decided money was no object whatsoever.No. Scratch that.It looked like someone had taken several pages from Architectural Digest, hired the ten most expensive wedding planners in Manhattan, and told them the budget was "yes."The gardens were geometric. Perfect. Like someone had taken a ruler to nature and told it to behave.White marble columns rose from the lawn like ancient Greek ruins that had been scrubbed clean and relocated to upstate New York.Crystal chandeliers hung from the trees. Each one caught the afternoon light and threw it back in a thousand directions. White silk draped between columns. The fabric moved in the breeze like it was breathing. Expensive bre

Chapter 412 A low bar

Mia's POV"Nate!" I said again, because apparently my vocabulary had shrunk to one word.He smiled. That same gentle smile. "Hello, Mia." His voice was warm. Easy. "You look surprised.""I am surprised. I didn't know you'd be here.""Morton invited me. Well—technically Grace invited me.""Right. Of course." I was still processing. "You're back in Paris?""I am."Scarlett had turned around in her seat, her champagne glass paused halfway to her lips. Her eyes moved between us with that particular sharpness. Reading the room."Dr. Pierce," she said."Mrs. Morton." He smiled at her. "Or should I say Mrs. Morton-Wallace? I heard you and Morton reconciled.""Just Scarlett is fine." She took a sip of champagne. "And yes. We're giving it another try. Apparently, I'm a glutton for punishment."Morton made a sound beside her. Soft. Could have been laughter. Could have been protest."Glutton for love," Morton corrected."Same thing," Scarlett said cheerfully.I looked at Nate. The lines around

Chapter 413 I do

Mia's POV"Scarlett," I hissed.But she was grinning. That wicked grin that meant she was enjoying herself far too much.The string quartet had shifted into something more structured. Not the ceremony music yet. But getting close. That particular transition from background noise to actual performance.People were settling into their seats. The murmur of conversation was fading. Being replaced by that expectant hush.Sophie was still standing. Her red dress catching every possible ray of afternoon light. She turned in a slow circle. Taking in the venue. The roses. The silk. The chandeliers hanging from trees like someone had decided gravity was optional."This is magnificent," she announced to no one in particular. "Absolutely magnificent. Though I would have used more peonies. Roses are beautiful but predictable.""Nobody asked for your opinion on the florals," Thomas said."That's what makes it so valuable."Thomas opened his mouth. Closed it. Opened it again.Kyle's hand came up. To

Chapter 414 He lifted me

Mia's POVThe reception tent dissolved into something else entirely.Not a tent anymore. A glass pavilion that opened onto a pool the size of a small lake.The water glowed. Actually glowed. Underwater lights in blues and greens that shifted slowly. Like the pool was breathing.To the left, white cabanas lined the pool's edge. Each one draped in silk that caught the breeze and billowed like sails. The fabric was thick enough to create privacy but sheer enough to let colored light filter through. Inside each cabana, I could see low couches piled with cushions. Small tables holding champagne buckets. Some were empty. Others held couples tangled together. Or small groups laughing over drinks.Little islands of privacy in all this public celebration.Actual couches built into the ground, upholstered in waterproof fabric that probably cost more than my car. Fire pits scattered between them, flames dancing in glass enclosures. People draped across the furniture like cats. Shoes abandoned. T

Chapter 415 Bump into me

Mia's POV"Better?" Kyle asked.His voice was low. Rough.His hands were still on my waist. Warm through the thin fabric of my dress. I could feel each individual finger. And the pressure.Just for a second, they lingered. His thumbs pressed gently against my ribcage. Not pulling me closer. Not pushing me away. Just—holding.Then they dropped."Much better," I said.My voice came out quieter than I meant it to. Softer. Like something had shifted in my throat without permission.Kyle bent down and picked up both shoes. My ridiculous heels that cost too much and hurt too much.He held them in one hand, the straps tangled together, dangling from his fingers."I'll carry these," he said.We kept walking.The path curved ahead of us, white marble glowing pale in the dark. On either side, the gardens stretched out. More manicured perfection. More expensive landscaping. Hedges shaped into geometric patterns. Flowers that probably had long Latin names.The sounds of the party drifted across t

Chapter 416 Underwater

MiaThe glass flew from my hand.I watched it tumble through the air. End over end. The vodka catching the colored lights from the pool. Creating a small arc of liquid that looked almost beautiful. Almost deliberate.Then I was falling.Not slow motion like in movies. Fast. Real. My stomach dropping. My arms reaching for something. Anything. Finding only air.The water hit like a wall.Cold.So cold it stole my breath. Shocked my system. Made every nerve ending scream.The impact drove me under. Deeper than I expected. My body plunging down into blue-green darkness. The colored lights from below turning everything into an aquarium. Into something that didn't feel real.Everything muted immediately.The music that had been vibrating my chest disappeared. Became dull thumps. Distant heartbeats. The bass still there but filtered. Softened. Like hearing it through walls.The voices—all those people la

Chapter 417 The Rings

Mia's POVWhy was he going back down? He'd just given away all his air.Twenty seconds passed. Then twenty-five."Kyle!" I tried again, louder this time, destroying my throat even more. I didn't care.Someone appeared beside me—Nate, I realized. His hands were professional and efficient as he tried to check me over, taking my pulse and looking at my eyes.But I pushed him away.Thirty seconds. Thirty-five.It was too long. Way too long. He didn't have enough air for this. His lungs couldn't handle it.Forty seconds stretched by.The water stayed still and empty, just colored lights and ripples reflecting across the surface.Please come up.Then his head broke the surface.He gasped, and it was a horrible sound—wet and ragged, like his lungs were full of water, like he was drowning from the inside.He coughed hard, water coming out of his mouth and nose, his whole body convulsing with the effort.But his hand came up out of the water, reaching toward the edge, reaching toward me.In hi

Chapter 418 On the terrace

Mia's POVSomeone draped a towel over my shoulders.One of those enormous white ones. Hotel quality. Thick enough to feel heavy. Warm.I pulled it tighter. My dress was ruined. The fabric clung to my skin. Water dripped from the hem. Pooling on the marble beneath my feet.Sophie appeared beside me. She had another towel. Smaller. She wrapped it around my hair without asking. Started squeezing the water out with quick efficient motions."You scared us," she said quietly.Her voice had lost that bright theatrical quality. Just flat. Real."I'm fine.""You're not fine. You almost drowned.""I didn't—""You fell in a pool in heels and a dress that weighed ten pounds when it was dry. You would have drowned if Kyle hadn't—" She stopped. Her hands stilled in my hair.I looked up at her.Her face was tight. Eyes red. Like she'd been crying. Or trying very hard not to."You scared us," she said again.Scarlett appeared on my other side. She had clothes. Dry clothes. A simple black dress. Flat

Chapter 419 Keep them

Mia‘s POVI walked toward the terrace doors, and the crowd parted before me like water around a stone. A few people had that particular look, that said they'd witnessed the entire pool incident and were already composing the story they'd tell at brunch tomorrow.But I found I didn't care.The terrace was quieter than the pavilion, and the air felt cooler against my damp skin. The music was still audible through the glass doors.Kyle stood at the railing with his back turned to me. He'd changed into dry clothes—a dark shirt that hung on his frame, outlining the angles of his shoulders. His hair was still damp, pushed back from his face in a way that looked hasty. A few drops of water still clung to the ends, catching the lamplight when he moved, creating small points of brightness that seemed almost fragile against the darkness beyond the terrace.He didn't turn around when I approached, but I watched his shoulders tense."Kyle," I said.He turned slowly.His face was exhausted.His ey

Chapter 420 I think you're improving, Kyle

Kyle's POVThe hospital room was dark when I got back.Just one lamp. The small one by the bed. Casting that particular yellow glow that made everything look sicker than it was.I closed the door. The click echoed.My clothes were still damp. Not soaking. But damp enough to be uncomfortable. The shirt clung to my back. My pants felt heavy. My socks squelched slightly in my shoes.I should change.The ring box sat in my jacket pocket. I could feel it. That small weight. Pressing against my ribs with each breath.I shouldn't have brought it.The thought had repeated itself the entire drive back. James silent in the front seat. Me in the back. Watching the city lights blur past the window.I pulled the box out now. Velvet. Dark blue. Small enough to fit in my palm.Opened it.The diamond caught the lamplight. Threw it back in fractured pieces. Yellow and white. Dancing across the ceiling. Across the walls.The smaller stones arranged around it like stars. Like the pendant I'd given her w
