He looked at her for just a brief moment, something unreadable flickering across his eyes. He didn't offer a defense or an explanation, he just turned back toward the door.

"Enjoy the party, Elena. Because by the time Xavier and I are done, the only thing you’ll be wearing is a prison jumpsuit." As we turned to leave, the room erupted into a feverish hum of gossip.

"Well. You'll find Sterling Global has very high standards." More applause. She was captivating the room, holding every person's attention effortlessly. "Elena," someone at the next table whispered, loud enough for me to hear. "I knew that name sounded familiar. Isn't she married to him?" They trailed off, looking at me. Oh God.

Cassandra, already seated inside her serpent-carriage, leaned out the window with a thin smile. “Well, look who crawled home. Did you get lost on the road to obscurity?” Velarissa’s red eyes gleamed from behind her lace veil. “A lamb among wolves. Delicious.” Nymira’s floral gown fluttered as she laughed, airy and cruel. “Someone forgot to weed the garden; an unwanted bloom has popped up.” Kaelith—bronze-armored and towering—snorted a jet of smoke. “This is a competition, not a charity ward.

"The Rivers heiress gave you this card, right? Well, now that she's here, let's see if she even knows who you are!" Bastien finished. "Now is the time to come clean about your crime, Sebastian!" Hera urged frantically. "Stop making things worse! Even I almost can't be bothered with you. How could the heiress be bothered then?" She looked at Leda and felt a nagging sense of inferiority.

“Go to hell, Scarlett! It’s all your fault. You ruined everything I have. I’m the heroine of this world! How did things end up like this?! It can’t be real!” At that time, Francis’s voice came from outside the door. “Mel, are you in there? Dad’s guests came. They would like to see the real heiress of our family. You need to go downstairs.” “Okay, wait for me, Frank!” Melanie was relieved again when she heard that. Regardless, she was the daughter of the Smith family.

But outside, beyond the estate walls, Cassian Rourke stood under the starlight, staring up at the Bluefield crest. He wasn't done.
