Isabella could not believe it.She never thought the day would come where she pitied another woman for dating Vincent Sinclair. But here she was—tailing after him, Anna de Vries, and Julian through the gleaming glass halls of one of Paris’s most expensive malls. Hoodie, sneakers, messy ponytail. She looked like a misplaced intern trailing magazine models for the latest issue of Money Marries Money.And her chest felt tight in the worst way.Out of all the scenarios she’d imagined when she woke up this morning, this was not on the list.Vincent had been discharged that afternoon. No drama, no fuss — just him climbing out of a hospital bed like he hadn’t been sweating bullets a few hours ago. The only evidence was the pale cast to his skin and the IV mark on his arm. But instead of going back to the hotel to rest like any normal human being, here he was. On a strolling date.

Our Grant Studios manages several successful talents. Chloe has even dhown interest in the business too.”Clarisse’s lips curved. “How interesting. My daughter already has a business waiting for her.

Silence between them stretched thin, trembling like glass.Neither spoke. The echo of his last words — “you make it impossible to be fair” — still hung in the air.Isabella was choked by the look in his eyes. She wanted to lay everything bare then. The drunken mistake, her spike of jealousy, her conflicted emotions.She needed someone to talk to about the slow but sure down spiral she was going through.Once upon a time that someone would have been Chloe Dubois.Isabella’s phone rang.The sharp chime shattered the tension.She startled. Vincent’s gaze flicked to the glowing screen in her hand.Daniel.Her throat tightened. She pushed him aside, turned her back to him, and pressed accept.“Daniel?”Her brother’s voice was calm — strange...“Sis, hey… how are you?”“…I’m fine. Why are you calling? Did something happen to Elena?” She didn’t know what she'd do if that were the case. She was a trans atlantic flight away.Daniel chuckled softly, the sound strained. “Just wanted to check o
