Chapter 11
The partner-selection banquet began in full swing.
The hall pulsed with excitement. One by one, the young elites took the stage-some showcasing wit and talent, others flaunting humor or wealth-each desperate for a glance of approval from Sienna.
She sat at the head of the hall, poised and distant, occasionally exchanging quiet words with her parents. Her gaze swept across the crowd with calm authority-like a queen surveying her domain, cool and composed, unapproachable.
Adrian stood at the edge of the crowd like a caged beast, his body tense, his eyes wild with helpless fury.
He watched those men surround her, watched her offer polite smiles to strangers. Jealousy and panic burned through him like poison, searing every nerve.
Those eyes, once filled only with him, now looked elsewhere.
That girl who once clung to him in tenderness was about to choose another man to spend her life with.
No.
He wouldn’t allow it.
“Sienna… she’s mine. She can only be mine,” He murmured, eyes turned blood-red; reason snapped thread by thread.
Celeste clutched his arm, terrified.
“Adrian, please! Don’t do anything rash! This is the Sloane family-we can’t afford to provoke them! You have to calm down!”
Her plea only fed his frenzy.
When one of the social heirs stepped forward to invite Sienna to dance-and she didn’t immediately decline- Adrian’s last strand of sanity broke.
He shoved Celeste aside, forcing his way through the crowd like a man possessed.
Trays crashed, glass shattered, and startled screams filled the hall. The elegant atmosphere dissolved into
chaos.
“Stop him!” one of the Sloane guards shouted, springing forward.
But Adrian seemed unstoppable. Fueled by sheer madness, he broke through the blockade, stumbling toward
the stage until he stood before Sienna herself.
The entire hall froze.
Music cut off.
