Chapter Eleven

ELENA

Stepping into the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas for the red-carpet event, I’m officially mind-blown. A rush of heady exhilaration washes over me. The grand foyer unfolds like a scene from a movie. Rich, golden light reflects off the polished marble floors and I think about pinching myself.

Majestic, vibrant and fragrant floral arrangements, line my path, leading me towards the bustling crowd of glamorous individuals all vying for some media camera time. Exactly what I’m trying to avoid. Not hard, thank goodness. Around me, the elite glide gracefully, their laughter and ease in designer gowns make me slightly envious as I resist the urge to hitch my strapless dress up over my breasts a little more.

The stylist insisted everyone is wearing them low this year, and despite double tape, boning, and a few extra stiches, I’m worried I’ll have my very own nipple gate if I lean forward. I am awestruck by the sheer opulence as I step further into this world of luxury and prestige. Every detail whispers wealth and sophistication.

What a week! I’ve heard people say their lives completely turned around in a few days and I know what they mean now. Mine really has.

Alex asked me here to be his eyes and ears and report back on what the talk is concerning his business dealings. He told me that he feels he’s on the verge of discovering how the information got out. He’s in full-on damage control mode, and so am I in addition to trying to glean any new leads on the data breach.

Alex is also here with both of his daughters. So now I’m attending the most amazing night of my life, with my best friend in the world and we have to pretend we’re strangers. How surreal is that?

I also have some security friend of Marcus assigned to be with me as a fake date. At least he’s cute. Makes up for other areas he lacks in, like not mentioning who we work for. I’m sure he’s taken by surprise by how grand it is here as well. Makes you forget there’s a whole other world out there.

My conscience has taken an inconvenient time to rear its head. A lot is bothering me about my plan. Mostly about lying, and the fact I’ve had to admit to myself that revenge was an underlying current in all of this. Now I’ve spent the week working with him from his family space, I see he has the exact same struggles as the rest of us. Plus, he’s so expert at what he does, it’s no accident that this man has achieved any of the accolades he’s nominated to win tonight.

Maybe I should just tell Alex the truth now and let my work speak for itself. I can’t help but care how he will feel if he finds out from someone else. Damn conscience. Life would be so much easier without one. But Lily is here tonight and I’m not doing or saying anything to ruin this for her.
