Smiled while my chest burned.Pretending was second nature now—but even masks crack under pressure. Jaxson’s call had saved me.I fled before Dominic could say another word.I was fixing my lipstick when the bathroom door swung open.Natalia.Her heels clicked against the floor like a warning.“Seraphina?” she drawled. “Or should I say… Serah?” She laughed, sharp and venomous.I picked up my clutch, ready to leave.
