Kade’s POVI sat in the corner of the boutique, which smelled like roses and money — the kind of place where everything was too good to be true. All I could do was watch Selene spin slowly before the mirror as the fashion designer fussed with the lace on her gown. But all I could think about was how wrong it looked on her, not because she wasn’t beautiful but it wasn’t supposed to be her.“Well? How do I look?”She turned to face me with that smug smile on her face as her voice dragged me back to the present, and I realized I hadn’t said a single word in ten minutes.“It’s… fine,” I muttered.The designer’s face lit up the moment I said that, as if I’d just given a royal decree.“Fine! That's wonderful! We’ll make the final adjustments right away.” Then, he walked away, leaving us surrounded by glittering fabrics and silence.Selene studied me through the mirror with those eyes, calculating even behind the sweetness of her painted smile, “You’re quiet again,” she said softly, stepping
