JIA'S POVI stood in front of the full-length mirror in the large bathroom of the Grand Plaza Hotel. Room 402. It was the best luxury suite they had in the entire building.I ran my hands down the sides of the dark red lace lingerie. It was brand new. It was short, incredibly tight, and left absolutely nothing to the imagination. I paired it with black thigh-high stockings and sharp black heels."He is going to love this," I whispered to my reflection in the glass. "He has to."Today was our wedding anniversary. I had been married to Liam Collins for three years. He was a handsome, wealthy, and untouchable CEO. Most people looked at us and saw the perfect couple. The smart doctor and the billionaire businessman. But behind closed doors, things were so cold between us lately. I wanted tonight to fix that. I wanted to remind him of the fire we used to have.I walked out into the main bedroom. I had spent the last hour getting all the details perfect. I scattered hundreds of dark red ros

I opened my eyes slowly. The bright morning sun was shining happily through the large glass windows of the hotel suite. I stretched my legs under the soft white sheets.

The loud music from the grand ballroom inside the hotel was a dull thump, thump, thump against my ringing ears.Tonight was Liam's big Vice President promotion ceremony. I wore a beautiful dress. I was ready to support him and smile for the cameras. But instead of walking the red carpet, I spent the last two hours locked inside a dirty storage room near the kitchens. Mia had pushed me inside and locked the heavy door from the outside.When I finally found a way to call Liam for help, his cold words broke whatever was left of my bleeding heart."Stay in there, Jia," Liam had said over the phone, sounding completely bored. "The guests are calling you a charity case. You do not belong in this high society. If you come out to the party, I will only feel deeply embarrassed by you.
