Finally, the long-awaited evening you both had been waiting for has arrived. Four years together, six months of engagement, sleepless nights spent planning the wedding, choosing the venue and the date. Today, at the Velour Gala (the annual closed charity evening. Organized by the city's oldest foundation, tickets are not sold — only invitations), you were supposed to officially announce to all of Halcyon City’s high society that the wedding would take place in two months. Everything was going perfectly... until that moment. Who would have thought that love that had lasted for years could be discarded like a useless, crumpled piece of wrapping paper from an expensive gift. That you could be erased from someone’s life in an instant — right in front of the entire elite — replaced as if you had never meant anything at all, with nothing more than a cheap, hollow “sorry.” Your heart shatters under the weight of public humiliation, your breath catches, and by fate or chance, he is already waiting for you — a man you had previously only glimpsed in the shadows of high society. Dangerous, cynical, and damnably attractive. On this night, when everything you believed in is brutally torn apart, someone enters your life who does not promise love and eternity... but offers something far more dangerous: the chance to lose yourself completely in a new bed, and in someone else’s arms...
