Once we were in a conference room, I handed him my phone. Someone’s been spreading lies about me Can I me?

Finn scrolled through the screenshots, his jaw tightening Jesus, these people are savage. Yeah, if all this is made–up, it’s definitely defamation. You can go civil, or even criminal if you want to push it. That kind of shit’s not protected.”

I’m sure it’s all lies. Every word.‘

Finn scrolled again, slower this time, then frowned. ‘Wait. The guy who sent all this… Rhys Granger?

I nodded.

His head snapped up. ‘The same Rhys who….?”

Another nod from me. This time with bonus shame.

Back then, I wasn’t exactly broadcasting my crush on Rhys, but let’s be real, people knew.

Hard not to, especially after Catherine uploaded scans of my diary to the school intranet like it was breaking news.

Boom. Instant humiliation.

Everyone suddenly knew I had a tragic, textbook–case crush on my sister’s boyfriend.

College life could be brutal. Especially when you were the headline.

Still, I had friends. Including Finn.

We were in the same club, and he’d been nice to me from day one.

He never pried.

When everyone else wanted the tea, Finn just quietly made sure I got included in all the club activities and listened whenever I

wanted to vent.

If he hadn’t graduated early and bolted off to law school, we probably would’ve stayed close.

Still, all these years later, seeing someone from my ‘hopelessly simping for Rhys‘ era made me want to crawl into the nearest

bin.

Reluctantly, I elaborated. ‘We got engaged, then we, ah, we broke up. He didn’t take it well. So now he’s playing petty, spreading shit to make me look bad. But he’s the one who cheated, honest.‘

Finn blinked.

I saw it somewhere behind the professional poker face, a little crack.

‘Send me everything,‘ he said, voice low. ‘I’ll handle the lawsuit.”

“The comments are ongoing and getting worse. His fanboys are still going off on me. I’ll send you more later.‘

“The worse, the better. If he keeps this up, the judge’ll be begging to slap him with charges.‘

‘Cool. Appreciate it.‘

Yvaine was basically living on her phone at this point, refreshing like it was a second job.

Every time Rhys dropped a message in their group chat, one of her friends screenshotted it, sent it to her, and she passed it to

1. me.

I forwarded the mess to Finn.

But lawsuits took time.

Yvaine didn’t have that kind of patience.

Her birthday was coming up, and she was out for blood.

‘I invited Rhys and Catherine to my birthday party,‘ she called and told me. ‘Watch how I ruin their day for you.‘

I tried to be reasonable. ‘Don’t let those clowns mess up your birthday. It’s not worth it.‘

‘Making them squirm is the only thing that’ll make it worth it.‘

I yielded.

Sunday afternoon, I turned up at her house with a tiny, ribbon–wrapped box.

Custom–made,‘ I said, handing it over. ‘Only one in the world.‘

‘Shut up. I love it!‘ Yvaine was already clasping the necklace around her neck, twirling in front of the mirror, snapping selfies.

Then Cassian Langford walked in.

Yvaine blinked. ‘Wait, what are you doing here?‘

He lifted a sleek black gift bag like it was a peace offering. ‘Your brother’s stuck overseas. Sent me to play the charming stand- in.‘

‘Ooh, what did he get me?‘

He held up two bags. ‘One’s from Emmett. The other’s from me. Guess which is better.‘

She pointed to her neck. ‘Neither. This is the best.‘

Cassian looked at me and nodded.

While Yvaine greeted the incoming guests, Cassian stood next to me.

Several times, he opened his mouth like he wanted to say something, but in the end decided not to.

I was tempted to ask him to spit it out when the party proper started.

The place was packed.

Yvaine had enough energy to power the city grid, and half of Skyline’s social climbers were here kissing her arse.

The gift pile had mutated into a three–metre–high shrine in the corner.

I was halfway through my mocktail when Rhys finally showed up.

And of course, he brought her.

Rhys glanced around the room and stared straight at me.

He knew I’d be here.
