“Turn around, Amber,” my mother directs me from her spot at the base of the platform I’m standing on. “Let me see the ruching at the back.”

I dutifully perform as requested. The “ooh’s” and “aah’s” that fill our private showroom spreading hope through me that this incarnation of the dress will be the one that meets Mum’s exacting standards.

Finally.

It’s been a long day filled with dozens of design changes and more than a couple of pins jabbed into my skin by the frazzled seamstress. “The Wedding of the Century”, as the gossip columns have taken to calling my upcoming nuptials, means that an ordinary dress will simply not do. We’re creating a custom-made gown of the highest quality, crafted by an up-and-coming designer whom nobody else within our circle has used to design their dress, that will be talked about for years to come as the epitome of the perfect wedding gown. I believe that was the exact words to leave my mother’s mouth—give or take an adjective or two—when she tasked her personal assistant with finding someone who could design and create my wedding gown within three weeks.

Of course, my position as the obedient daughter means that I have little say in what I’m wearing down the aisle in less than a week. My lack of memory coupled with my simple tastes make my suggestions unsuitable. My history of reckless decisions, as my father so delicately terms my long-forgotten attempts to have an opinion, disqualifying me entirely from all wedding preparations.

“Perfection.”

A chorus of glee meets Mum’s declaration. I’m pulled from the platform, my hands seized by the tiny, Stepford-looking, strawberry-blonde who declared herself my childhood best friend when we were introduced this morning. She forces me to jump up and down on the spot with her. Our mouths open as we whoop it up like a “woo girl” at a One Direction concert.

“You look like a princess,” Shannon cries with joy when she stops jumping long enough to get a word out. “Although, I can’t believe you’re marrying Jax. Not after everything he did to you.”

One of the women standing near us—another “old school friend”—makes a cutting motion with her thumb across her throat. Shannon’s face turns red. She drops my gaze and fumbles with the clasp of her handbag, while she pretends that she urgently needs something out of it.

“What did he do?” Jax has a prickly nature and moods that can swing on a dime. However, he’s never struck me as more than what he professes to be. My high school sweetheart. An overly ambitious man who’s happy to do whatever it takes to get where he wants to go. To use every ounce of influence he wields to sucker punch his competition. To break any rule—or person—he needs to, in order to get ahead of the game. With me as the only exception to his all-consuming lust for power. His weak spot. The one person he’d never sacrifice for a deal.

Stunned silence falls over the group.
