ELOISE.

The man I had knocked out didn’t stay down for long.

By the time I stepped out of the room and moved quietly into the shadows of the garden, I could already hear movement behind me–unsteady, clumsy, like someone trying to stand while the world spun around them. Whatever had been used in that room hadn’t completely worn off. His breathing was rough, uneven, desperate.

Good.

That meant the situation would unfold exactly how it needed to.

I didn’t rush back to the banquet. Instead, I stayed just out of sight, watching the path that led to the guest rooms. The night air was cool, but my thoughts were clear and steady. Summer wanted a scandal. She wanted something loud enough to ruin me in one night.

She just didn’t realize she had walked straight into her own trap.

It didn’t take long.

A few minutes later, I saw her.

She moved quickly, her steps light but eager, like someone heading toward a reward. Her eyes flicked around to make sure no one was watching before she approached the room I had just left.

There was excitement in her posture.

Expectation.

She thought she was about to witness my downfall.

I leaned slightly against the wall, hidden in the dim light, and watched.

She reached the door and paused, probably listening for something inside. Whatever she heard must have satisfied her, because her lips curved into a small smile.

Then she pushed the door open. And stepped inside. I didn’t move immediately. I gave it a few seconds. Then, calmly, I walked forward and pulled the door shut behind her. Not locked. Just… closed.

Sometimes, that was enough. Inside, I heard the shiftalmost instantly. Confusion first. Then tension. Then panic. Her voice came, sharp and startled.

“What-?”

A loud thud followed. Something hitting the floor. Then-

“Who’s there?!”

Her voice rose, no longer controlled. I stepped back from the door, my expression calm, my heartbeat steady. I didn’t need to see what was happening inside to understand it. The man I had left behind wasn’t in his right mind. And Summer… For the first time in a long white–Wasn’t in control.

Her voice grew louder. “Open the door! Who’s outside?!” There was fear in it now. Real fear. I turned away slowly. Whatever happened next was nolongermy concern. She had planned a scene. Now she would live in it.

By the time I returned to the banquet hall, everything looked the same. Music. Laughter. Glasses raised in celebration. No one knew anything yet. I picked up a glass of champagne from a passing tray, my movements calm, natural. If anyone looked at me, they would see nothing unusual. Just another guest enjoying the night. But I could feel it.

The shift coming. The moment before chaos. Across the room, I noticed Edward again. His eyes found me almost immediately, like he had been searching. There was something unsettled in his expression, something restless. He walked toward me without

hesitation.

“Eloise,” he said, his voice low. “Can we talk?”

I took a small sip of my drink before answering.

“There’s nothing to talk about.”

My tone was calm, but final.

He flinched slightly, like the words hit harder than he expected.

“That’s not true,” he said quickly. “You can’t just erase everything like it meant nothing.”

I looked at him then.

Really looked at him.

And for a moment, I wondered how I had ever mistaken him for something important in my life.

“What we had is over,” I said simply. “You made your choices. And even if i had time for your rubbish, I’m married now.” i said raising the finger that had my ring on,

His jaw tightened.

“You don’t understand-

“I understand perfectly.”

My voice didn’t rise, but it sharpened.

“You stood beside her every time she hurt me. You believed her over me. That tells me everything I need to know.”

He ran a hand through his hair, frustration clear on his face.

“Summer isn’t what you think-”

I let out a quiet, humorless laugh.

“That’s your problem,” I said. “Not mine.”

He stepped closer, lowering his voice.

“I made mistakes,” he admitted. “But that doesn’t mean we can’t fix this. Just give me one chance

I stepped back.

A small distance.

But enough.

“You lost that chance a long time ago.”

Silence stretched between us.

Heavy.

Uncomfortable.

And then-

The noise came.

Not from the music.

Not from the guests.

From the corridor leading to the guest rooms.

A scream. Sharp. Panicked. The kind that cuts through everything. The music faltered. Voices rose.

“What was that?”

“Did you hear that?”

“Something happened!”

People began moving toward the sound, curiosity spreading faster than caution. Within seconds, the calm atmosphere shattered completely.

I set my glass down. Right on time. Edward’s face had already changed.Concern. Confusion. He didn’t wait. He turned and rushed toward the corridor. I followed. Slowly.

By the time we reached the guest rooms, a crowd had already gathered.

The door stood open. Inside, chaos. Summer was there. Her hair disheveled. Her dress wrinkled. Her face pale and streaked with tears. She looked nothing like the confident girl from earlier. The man was on the floor nearby, barely conscious, his condition just

as messy.

The entire room smelled wrong. Off. Lik something had gone very, very badly. Summer’s voice broke through the noise the moment she saw people.

“This isn’t what it looks like!” she cried.

Her words came out fast, desperate.

“I didn’t do anything–I was set up!”

Her eyes scanned the crowd wildly.

Then-

They landed on me.

And everything in her expression changed.

“Eloise!” she screamed, pointing at me. “It was her! She did this to me!”

The accusation rang out clearly.

Some of the guests gasped.

Others began whispering immediately.

I didn’t react.

Not to her.
