LanaI stand in front of the mirror, gripping the cold marble counter because it’s the only thing keeping me steady. Time is up.Today, my father is supposed to call Rocco and make the first payment toward the debt.Dominic and I have carefully avoided talking about it for the last two perfect days. We barely left the penthouse. Most of the time, we stayed in his bedroom, wrapped up in each other like the outside world didn’t exist. It felt like we silently agreed to enjoy whatever time we had left without thinking about what came next.But deep down, I feel empty.Because somehow, despite everything, I fell in love with Dominic Vance.And the worst part is that I keep falling harder.Every second with him pulls me deeper in. At the gala, he called me his girlfriend in front of everyone. Later, I spent hours staring at the glossy photos of us in The Metropolitan Review. We looked happy. Perfect, even. Like the kind of couple people envy.But none of it was real.It was built on debt.
