Edwin & Audrey
Edwin's POV
I had hardly touched the glass of champagne that was pinched between my fingers. I had hardly noticed the lively music or the well-dressed crowd or the breathtaking view of the city and the river below. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't focus on any of it.
I should have been happy to be here. Claudia was my friend and someone I respected, and the venue-her favorite restaurant situated on pylons high above the river-had some of the best food and drink that the city offered.
But tonight, none of that mattered. Tonight, I was a puppet. A go**n puppet.

I gritted my teeth, my grip on the champagne flute tightening. I opened my mouth to tell her that there would be no engagement party and certainly no wedding, but one look from her made me quiet again. Her eyes held a warning, a reminder of that night on the bridge when she had threatened Audrey's life. I remembered it all too well; it haunted me.
"I meant what I said," Fiona whispered, her voice low enough that only I could hear. "Careful, Mr. Big Bad Wolf."
I resisted the urge to shove her over the balcony.
Just then, the doors opened, and another guest entered. Fiona's blood-red lips curled into a smirk. "Ah. Speak of the little succubus..."
I felt the blood drain from my face as Audrey walked in, looking stunning in a green dress that hugged her curves perfectly. I could already imagine that she had made it herself, her slender fingers carefully adding the intricate beading by hand.
Her long dark hair was pin-straight down her back, her pale throat adorned with a simple golden necklace. She had opted for subtle eyeshadow and a muted red lip tonight, and she looked more beautiful than anyone else here.

It made me want to go to him more than anything else in the world, and I took a step closer before I could stop myself. But then I froze, watching as Fiona led him away to the dance floor.
