The next evening, I’m meeting my parents at their mansion in Long Island City. I’m excited to finally have a Sunday dinner with them. I’ve been waiting for this moment since my mother cut ties from me. I’m ready to be invited back into my family like old times.

The driver comes to a metal black gate, and I roll down my window and hit the Call button for the security guy to open the gate. We drive down the pavement. So many cars are here, and my heart falls in my gut. I thought we were supposed to be having a private dinner, at least that’s what my mother made it seem like when we spoke over the phone. Too many people are here, though. Who the hell did they invite? Half of New York City?

“Wasn’t this supposed to be a small dinner just for us?” Jasper asks.

I continue to look out the window as more cars line the other side of the driveway. “Yes.”

“No, we’re getting the fuck out of here.” Jasper leans forward. “Chance, ta—”

“No. I told my mother we were going to show up, so we’re here. I’m not going to disappoint her again.”

Jasper grips my chin so I look at him. “But next time they pull this shit, we’re leaving.”

I nod.

He grabs my hand and brushes his lips against my knuckles, and I shiver on the inside.

I poke him in the side. “What was that for?”

“You look gorgeous.”

My cheeks flame at his compliment. I want to keep my distance as much as possible because I don’t want to get my heart broken again, but the way Jasper is being so nice to me isn’t helping. That’s why I chose to stay away from him, because I knew he was the type of guy I tend to go for. The charming, powerful ones. After the night we spent at the restaurant where he and his mother used to frequent when he was younger, he’s been different toward me. He’s been asking me questions about my life, being more attentive toward me.

The car comes to a complete stop, and Chance gets out to open our door. Jasper steps out and holds out his arm, and I take it.

The suit he’s wearing is made of fine thread and tailored to fit his body to perfection. He looks like a Greek god. Powerful and dominant, as if he’s about to take the world by storm.

I run my hand over the red dress I’m wearing, it flares at the bottom and I have paired it with a small black jacket. It’s a little nippy out here as the sun sinks behind the mansion. I hired a hairstylist to relax my roots, because my curly hair was growing in, and I also hired someone to do my makeup, all courtesy of Jasper who insists I need to enjoy the perks of being his wife.

We walk up the stony staircase, and as I open the wooden door, the smell of fresh wine and hors d’oeuvres hits my nostrils.
