Let's talk after the match," Hernan said, the master of keeping everyone on edge.
| was pretty sure he just loved playing games, no matter who he was dealing with.
"Con, let's find a seat," he added, guidingaway.
We barely settled into our seats when Hayden and Yara walked in. They didn't sit next to us, though- nope, they
were in the row in front of us, with Jace joining them. Clearly, Jace had arranged the seating.
| couldn't help but think about the tickets I'd given Yuna and Wade. The event was starting, but they still hadn't
shown up.
My stomach did this weird little flip. | was starting to get worried. And, of course, my phone was completely
broken. No way to reach them.
| would've asked Hayden to call her, but... yeah, not exactly in the mood for that.
Then it hit| actually remembered Yuna's number. I'd just go outside and borrow someone's phone.

But just as | turned to leave, someone called my name
| spun around to see Yara.
We hadn't exactly shared a ton of bonding time, so her knowing my nlike that felt... off. Like she'd been
briefed on me-probably the whole with Hayden too.
"Miss Drago, is something wrong?" | tried to keep my tone cool.
"Hayden wantedto ask-why haven't we seen his sister?"
Boom. That question hitstraight in the chest.
"He can't look for his own sister?" | snapped.
Yara just stayed calm, with a slight smile like she wasn't bothered byat all. "He said she's been in your care,

| was so close to losing it, but | knew better than to let her seerattled.
"I don't know where she is," | said, trying to sound calm. "I was about to borrow a phone to check in."
Yara raised an eyebrow, the tiniest bit surprised. "You don't have a phone?"
Ouch.
I mean, if Yara didn't know | was without a phone, then Hayden probably didn't either. He hadn't bothered to
check in. And he knew | was with Herman-he knew how dangerous Hernan could be-yet he'd lefthere without
a second thought. Perfect. One more reason to make sure | cut him out completely.
"Here, you can use mine," Yara said, holding out her phone.

I was about to turn her down when | heard a voice call out, "Keira."
| turned around and there was Yuna, rushing toward me, out of breath. "Keira, we're late. We had to help an

made it. Let's head in."
"We'll go in together, my dear sis-in-law," Yuna added, stressing the last part a little too much while totally
ignoring Yara.
My throat tightened. The word "sis-in-law" hung in the air like it was a bomb. But | just swallowed it down and
corrected her quietly. "Yuna, I'm not Hayden's girlfriend or fiancée anymore. Please don't callthat. Yuna just
gavethis stubborn look. "You're the only sis-in-law I'll accept. No one else can take that place."
That definitely made things uncomfortable for Yara, but Yara didn't even flinch. She just gave Yuna a tiny smile
and said, "Yuna, Hayden's waiting for you inside.
Wade, picking up on the tension, leaned in and whispered to Yuna, "Let's go in."
"Keira, make sure you cin soon," Yuna called over her shoulder before disappearing inside with Wade.
