GREGOR"You aren't serious," Charissa scoffed. "You're really shoving me out of your life for some woman you slept with years ago?"My ears rang at that. She thought she had the moral high ground. Every second I stood there listening to her spew this fed something furious in me. I'd blamed Charissa for being rash, but God knew what I'd do if I actually lost my temper. I pushed past her and returned to the living room to find my mother already braced for me, scowling. Charissa had succeeded in pulling her over to her side. Ignoring the daggers my mother shot my way, I gave her the rest of it."Justina will be coming here, with Adonis."My mother broke into another fit of laughter, like she couldn't believe what she'd just heard. "Let me guess, Justina's the one you knocked up?"The word she used next made my fist clench. I'd expected her to be angry, but hearing her call the mother of my child something so filthy made me sick. I swallowed the irritation and blamed it on Charissa's infl

JUSTINAThe ride to his place was awkward, if that word could even begin to cover it. The feelings running through me ranged from fear (that Gregor would piece everything together) to disgust (at myself, and at the man driving us). I wanted nothing more than for this to end. I just didn't know how. I hated needing him. I hated not being able to find a single solution that didn't involve Gregor Vallis.

If anyone had hated Gregor Vallis more than I did, it was her."So," Gregor finally said, eyes on the road ahead. "Is this how it's going to be between us?"My cheeks burned when I met his eyes, just a glance, since he had to keep his attention on the road unless he wanted to get us all killed, but I couldn't believe I'd humored him at all. Now I had to answer, or spend the rest of our acquaintance branded a

CHARISSA"What would you like for dinner?" Nyssa asked, sweeping into the kitchen where I sat with a glass of warm milk, turning Greg's abandoned engagement ring over in my fingers. We'd bought matching ones when he'd flown out to Paris for a fundraiser I was working. I couldn't understand how Nyssa could be this calm about all of it. I wasn't. Gregor was my anchor. I'd been the odd one out among the agency's perfect mannequins, and if he hadn't found me, I'd still be invisible. I couldn't let this happen. Not now, not when I was this close to running the modeling world."Something light," I said. "But aren't you worried, Nyssa? Greg's assistant filled me in. He's gotten an apartment downtown and gone to pick that woman up. We can't just sit here and watch her ruin him."Nyssa set a pan down harder than she needed to and sighed, clearly hoping to avoid this conversation. It worried her too, I could tell, even if she was playing indifferent. I couldn't manage the same. I needed Greg ba
