CRACK. Daniel landed a clean punch right to Leo's jaw. I gasped, hand flying to my mouth, but internally? Oh god, that was satisfying to watch. Ally and I latched onto each other, giggling like schoolgirls, and took this as our cue to GTFO. We bolted from the VIP section, dodging security and weaving through the crowd until we reached the DJ stage. The bass rattled my bones, the lights flashing in dizzying neon colors. Ally clutched my arm. "What the hell did you say to that guy, Daniel?" I burst into laughter, now fully slurring. "I told him that Leo was my obsessive ex. That I had a restraining order against him, and he wouldn't leave me alone." Ally's jaw hit the floor. "Celeste. YOU DIDN'T." I grinned wickedly. "I did. And then I told him if he protected me, he could have me all night long." Ally full-on SCREAMED, grabbing my shoulders. "You evil little genius." We howled with laughter, ignoring the chaos happening behind us. The VIP section was in full-blown war mode, but us? We were thriving. Dancing, spinning, arms in the air, riding the high of the night. We climbed onto one of the podiums, bodies moving with the music, our dresses clinging to our curves. We were reckless. We were untouchable. Until we weren't. One second, I was basking in my freedom. The next, a pair of strong hands gripped my thighs, and before I could react-I was THROWN over someone's shoulder. Everything tilted. My stomach lurched. I shrieked, pounding my fists against a broad, muscular back. "WHAT THE FUCK-PUT ME DOWN!" I twisted my head, and even through my blurred, drunken vision, I knew exactly who had me. Leo. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Celeste never wanted this life.

The real monster has been hiding in plain sight. And now, both of them are running out of time. With danger closing in and betrayals lurking around every corner, Celeste must decide: Can she trust the man who ruined her life? Or will this marriage be the beginning of her downfall?
