The place fell silent. Nobody expected that turn of events.

I showed them the payment code, insistent.

Joyce glanced at Colin, but he was dazed. She bit her lip and transferred the money.

"Enjoy your happy lives together," I smirked, turning to leave.

Colin grabbed my arm.

"What are you doing?" I yelped, knocking off his hand.

He stared at my ring. "Are you so desperate to get married? Wearing a fake ring? If it's real, I'll be thanking you for finally leaving me alone. You know how annoying you've been? Like a dog that won't go away."

His mockery hit hard. His friends burst into laughter.

Before, I'd squirm with embarrassment.

In a good mood, Colin would smooth things over. In a bad one, he'd insult me even more harshly.

This time, I didn't hold back. "If I'm a dog, what are you? Poop or a cheap bone nobody wants?"

My sarcasm got under his skin, and the laughter around us died down.

Some tried to defuse the tension.

"Why is this getting so serious?"

"It's just a joke. Don't make it a big deal."

"We're friends, right?"

I looked at their faces, disgusted by their hypocrisy.

All this time, I had put up with them for Colin's sake. With that grit, I could've done anything.

"Forget it. I'm not fit to be your friend," I said, continuing to walk away.

Colin chased after me, but Joyce suddenly cried out, crouching down.

The cat in her arms yowled and bolted.

Colin rushed back to help her up. "What's wrong?"

She held up a scratched hand, sobbing, "Queenie has never hurt me before. I could tell something was off when I held her. I don't know what she went through in the fire."

Colin's brain short-circuited, and he yelled at me, "What did you do to Queenie?"

There he came again, acting like her puppet and blaming me for everything. No matter how flimsy her lies were, he never doubted her.

I looked at him like he was an idiot. "What would I do to a cat that I risked my life to save? It ran off from her arms, so why don't you ask what she did?"

I walked away, done with these dumbasses.

Colin grabbed my wrist and yanked me to the ground. Gravel dug into my wounds, and I grunted in pain.

When I struggled to reach my phone, he kicked it away, demanding, "Apologize to Joyce! You stressed out the cat and got her hurt. You owe her an apology."

I stood behind the velvet curtain, clutching a positive pregnancy test, waiting for the perfect moment to tell Dante our family was growing. Instead, I heard him laugh. "She is not the bride," Dante told his Consigliere, swirling his fifty-year-old scotch. "She is the bulletproof vest I wear until it is safe for Sofia to enter the city. When the bullets stop flying, we throw the vest in the trash." My world shattered. When Sofia arrived that night, she didn't just take my place; she boiled my beloved cat for dinner. Dante didn't defend me. He told me to clean up the mess or face punishment. To prove his devotion to her, he had his men drag me to "The Pit"—an underground fight club. I was thrown into a cage with a starving Doberman. I looked up at the VIP box, begging the man I loved to save me. Instead, Dante pressed the intercom button, his voice booming over the speakers. "One million dollars on the dog," he said. "She won't last three minutes." He covered Sofia's eyes to protect her innocence while the beast tore the flesh from my arm. That night, Elena Vance died in the dirt. One year later, the grieving Dante Moretti attended a gala for a mysterious new artist in New York. He dropped his champagne glass when he saw me on stage, alive, wearing a dress that revealed my ruined, scarred arm. "I didn't leave you, Dante," I said into the microphone, my voice cold as ice. "You killed me. And now, I'm here to collect my winnings."
