Olivia’s POV

The ballroom erupted with applause, clinking glasses, and well-wishes. Smiles stretched across every face-except

mine.

I stood at the entrance, watching the celebration unfold like a grand lie draped in velvet and glitter. The chandeliers above cast a sharp shimmer across the marble floor, and every spotlight seemed fixed on Ethan and Chole. My dress -a deep red tulle that trailed behind like spilled wine-swished with each slow, deliberate step I took forward.

The room noticed.

Whispers spread like wildfire.

“Isn’t that…?”

“Olivia? Ethan’s ex?”

“Oh God, she came. She really came.”

Some murmured that I was here to cause a scene. Others whispered that I was the one wronged. A few brave ones said aloud,” She was just dating an alpha. Not her fault he traded her out.”

I kept walking. My heels didn’t falter. My face remained neutral, my makeup sculpted into cool, ruthless elegance. I wasn’t here to scream.

Chole turned pale. Her fingers trembled on Ethan’s arm. Amelia’s poised expression cracked for the first time, just slightly. And Ethan-Ethan looked like someone had punched the air out of him. His feet shifted instinctively toward me, but Chole tugged his sleeve like a drowning girl grasping at driftwood.

“We’re engaged” Chole’s voice cracked across the ballroom. “We’re getting married! You should just let it go, Olivia.”

I stopped.

“Shut up,” Ethan muttered under his breath, yanking his arm away from her. “Not now.”

Chole’s lip trembled as if she were about to cry. I had seen that performance before. It wasn’t special anymore.

As Ethan tried to come closer again, a voice sliced through the tension.

“You’re going to embarrass Chole in front of everyone forher?” It was Felix Windsor, Chole’s brother, stepping for- ward like a guard dog.
