“I can always go back to my career after the baby.”

Trevor’s gaze dropped. “Alright.”

If that’s what she wanted, he’d give it to her.

The room was heavy with the scent of sweat and alcohol. Trevor had passed out, completely spent.

Amber’s body felt sore all over, but her heart floated. It was warm and sugary, like she’d been dipped in syrup.

She leaned in and pressed a soft kiss against his cheek.

But before she pulled back, Trevor shifted and pulled her into his arms.

His voice came out soft and low, barely above a whisper. “Rena, let’s try again.

“Come back to me, Rena.”

Amber froze.

Her. It was her again.

He said Serena’s name.

Amber bit down so hard on her lip, her teeth nearly broke skin. She didn’t cry, but the sinking feeling in her chest only grew.

If she’d known it would end up like this, she wouldn’t have fought so hard to marry him.

That night, she cried silently. From midnight until daylight.

The next morning, Serena stretched out and touched something solid and warm.

She jerked her hand back. Someone was in her bed.

She opened her eyes and turned. Sebastian’s face was right there.

His hair hung loose over his forehead, more relaxed than usual.

His sharp features looked softer in sleep. His lashes were so long they cast shadows on his cheekbones.

She stared, tempted to pluck one out and compare it to hers.

But before her fingers made contact, his eyes opened.

She pulled her hand back and cleared her throat. “You’re awake.”

A faint smile tugged at his lips. “What were you doing?”

Serena flipped onto her side. “Nothing. You had something in your eye. I was gonna help you get it out.”

He narrowed his eyes a little. “Something in my eye?”

“Yeah. Eye gunk!” Even she didn’t sound convinced.

Then her brain caught up. “Wait a second. Why are you in my bed?”

Sebastian lifted an eyebrow. “Your bed? Take a look around.”

Gray sheets. Gray comforter.

This was his guest room.

Serena blinked. Her face burned. “Oh. I must’ve walked into the wrong room last night.”

She tried to get out of bed.

But a light tug from behind sent her straight into his chest.

Sebastian wrapped one arm around her waist. His other hand cradled her head. His lashes brushed close as he leaned in and kissed her.

It was a quick kiss. Barely there.

Then he pulled back. “Still see anything in my eye?”

Serena’s ears turned red. She refused to look at him. “No. Nothing now.”

Amber woke up with swollen eyes.

At breakfast, Trevor finally noticed. “What happened to your eyes?”

Amber shook her head. “Nothing. Maybe just a stye.

“Trevor, you’ve been swamped lately, and we never got to go on a honeymoon. Maybe you could get me on a reality show? I could use it to help promote the album.”

The plagiarism mess had wrecked her image.

Her team had to scramble. They swapped out the cover and changed the lead single.

She was still a newcomer. A few more appearances would help clean things up.

That was her plan anyway.

If she couldn’t count on him, she’d build her own fanbase and career.

Trevor raised a brow. “Didn’t you say you wanted a baby yesterday?”
