Jaylee took in every detail of the living room. The ceilings soared overhead, and sunlight poured through tall windows. The furniture was modern and simple, but every piece spoke of taste and wealth. In the corners, a few art pieces caught her eye. They looked expensive, maybe even priceless.

This was true luxury.

This was the world she wanted.

Her gaze went back to Sebastian.

He was deep in conversation with Lucas. His voice was low, his movements smooth and deliberate. Every nod, every gesture showed confidence and control. There was an easy elegance about him, a natural authority she could sense even from across the

room.

Jaylee’s heart beat faster.

This was the kind of man she deserved.

Lucas lounged beside her with one leg crossed over the other. His arm was draped casually over her shoulder, but now, it just felt awkward, almost intrusive.

“Jaylee.” Lucas turned to her, concern flickering in his eyes. “What’s wrong?”

She snapped out of her thoughts and forced a smile. “Nothing.” She kept her voice low, almost conspiratorial. “I just didn’t expect Mr. Menzie to be so young and good–looking. Honestly, I thought your friends would all be, well… more like you.”

It came out sounding like a compliment for Sebastian, but it was a subtle jab at Lucas.

Lucas just raised an eyebrow and said nothing.

Sebastian didn’t even look up, acting as if he hadn’t heard.

Jaylee waited for a response, but none came. Her smile faltered, only for a moment.

She gave a little laugh and quickly changed the topic. “By the way, why is Ms. Kain still asleep? It’s already so late. Girls really should try to keep a better routine.”

Her voice was soft, full of apparent concern. She even matched it with a worried expression, like a caring friend.

Lucas glanced at her. His usual lazy smile faded, just for a second, before returning.

“Noey’s always like this. I think a little laziness is good for her. It’s healthy.”

Jaylee started to speak again, but Lucas‘ half–amused, half–warning look made her swallow her words.

She forced another smile. “Right… Right…”

A strange tension crept into the room.

Just then, footsteps echoed from the stairs.

Everyone turned to look.

Noelle was coming down.

She wore a loose, pale sweater and simple jeans. Her hair was down, slightly messy, and she wore no makeup at all.

But her face…

It was the woman from the mall.

Jaylee’s mind went blank. Her ears rang.

She stared at the woman on the stairs, at her sleepy eyes, her loose hair, her flawless skin that didn’t need any makeup. Jealousy twisted in Jaylee’s chest.

It was her.

It really was her.

This was Noey, the one Lucas had mentioned.

The Guzmans‘ daughter.

Sebastian’s wife.

A cold sweat broke out across Jaylee’s back.

Three million dollars…

That necklace she fought for yesterday was supposed to be a welcome gift from this woman?

She’d maxed out her card and owed two million, all for a necklace that should have been hers anyway.

And then she remembered what she’d said in the store.

“My backer is Lucas. You know the Steeles, right? I could crush you with a snap of my fingers.”

And the way she’d acted, like she was doing Noelle a favor.

Jaylee felt the room spin.

She almost lost her balance and stumbled.

Lucas noticed and caught her by the arm, frowning. “Are you okay?”

Jaylee’s teeth started to chatter, but she didn’t dare say a word.

Noelle stopped in front of her, eyes lingering just a second before she smiled.

That look made Jaylee feel even dizzier.

“Awake, sleepyhead?” Sebastian walked over to Noelle, put his arm around her shoulders, and kissed her forehead. “Are you hungry?”
