My husband’s empire filled the grand hall—men in tailored black tuxedos, women dripping diamonds that caught the light like tiny blades. Laughter sliced through the air, sharp and calculated. I wore crimson satin that clung to every curve like a second skin, the fabric cool and slippery against my body. Feathers framed my eyes in delicate black; my lips were painted blood red.

Zaria had never felt so simultaneously alive and endangered. Her gown shimmered like molten silver, tracing the curves of her body and falling in elegant waves to the floor.

She lifted an emerald-green mask to her face before tying the ribbon neatly behind her head. I took another sip of whisky…then another as I watched her dance to the songs being played "You've been staring for the last five minutes." …Cassian murmured beside me, accepting a glass of champagne from a passing waiter.

Champagne flowed like waterfalls, and the dance floor was a living, writhing thing. Strippers in glittering harnesses danced on glass poles, bodies coated in oils and diamonds. Billionaires lounged in velvet booths with half-naked women curled at their feet like loyal pets. Moans and laughter blended like a symphony of sin. And I?
