A chill settled deep in my chest. A sharp, gnawing resolve that I had to find Rosaline. I turned my gaze to Jasper, forcing a smile, trying to mask the rising tension “Well, since you’re making the offer, Mr. Sullivan, it’d be rude of me not to take it. It’ll case Caden’s mind. After all, Rosaline’s his fiancée. It’s only natural for us to be concerned.”

The door creaked open, and I immediately moved to the bed. With one swift motion, I ripped the covers away, my heart thudding in my chest. But the bed was empty.

I froze. A spike of disbelief shot through me.

Rosaline had to be hiding. She must’ve ducked out of sight while Jasper and I were talking.

My blood boiled. This time, I wouldn’t let her slip away. I would drag that Omega into the light.

But as I scoured the entire presidential suite, each passing moment dug the hole of frustration deeper. No sign of Rosaline.

How was this possible?

I had seen her come in with Jasper, just moments ago. She couldn’t have disappeared. No way.

I glanced back at Caden. He stood there, still and silent, a cold presence like a shadow in the doorway.

If I didn’t find Rosaline, I was done. I’d be caught in a lie.

Caden had already been distant as of late. If he thought I was lying to him, if he thought I was fabricating all this, he’d be disgusted. He’d pull away for good.
