Olivia’s POV

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

I stood at the entrance, watching the celebration unfold like a grand lie draped in velvet and glitter.

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