| grabbed Wayne's collar and yanked him down, locking eyes with him as | slurred, "Hayden, you finally showed
up... You jerk. What took you so long?"
His face hardened, and his grip on my wrist tightened. "Rea, you're drunk. I'm not Hayden."
"No, you are Hayden," | said, tracing the curve of his brow with my finger. "You've changed. You don't love me
anymore... You left me..."
If there's one thing men can't stand, it's being someone else's substitute. And for Wayne, who'd always had
feelings for me? My words were like twisting a knife straight into his heart.
Pain shot through my shoulder as he pinched it, givinga small shake. "Look at me. Who am I?"
| stared at him for a beat, then let my lips quiver as | broke into full-on sobbing.
"Hayden, you're such a jerk!" | wailed, tears streaming. "You're the worst! Why are you bullying me?"
Tears: the ultimate trump card. Like clockwork, Wayne's grip on my shoulder loosened.
| threw a few weak punches at his chest, more for show than anything. Instead of reacting, he just sighed, bent
down, and scoopedup bridal-style. Without a word, he carriedright out of the private room. The moment
we hit the hallway, Cole materialized, smirking. "One bottle of pure white Scotch? Enough to knock anyone out

| bit the inside of my cheek to keep from cursing him out. He thought he hadfooled. What a snake.
Fortunately, I'd cprepared.
Wayne ignored him, walking past as if he didn't exist. Cole called after him. "Don't forget to thanklater for
setting you up with such a perfect night."
Bingo. That smug little comment just confirmed my suspicions-there was definitely more going on between them
than I'd realized.
Wayne carriedout of the club. Despite the danger screaming at the back of my mind, | knew | had to see this
through.
He broughtto a penthouse I'd never been to before-not ssprawling estate, but sleek, modern.
He seton the couch, his stare heavy and unrelenting.
| let myself slump sideways, selling the whole passed-out act. Dead weight, no sounds.
Then he leaned in. Close. | could feel his breath warming my skin, sending an icy shiver down my spine. When
his lips brushed against the edge of my cheek, my whole body stiffened. Stay still. Stay calm.
| knew he wouldn't cross the line. Wayne wasn't the type to act impulsively or force anything. If he'd wanted
that, he wouldn't have waited this long. No, this was him testing me-checking if | was drunk or faking it.
Just like | thought, he lingered, hovering close, but he didn't go further. When | didn't budge, he finally
straightened up and moved away.
| cracked an eye open, scanning my surroundings. The penthouse was sharp and minimalist, almost identical to
his house in Houston. Staste, svibe.
