Sophia’s POV
Photos.
Colton.
Carmen.
That night.
The proposal.
The ring.
The smile.
The illusion.
But that wasn’t even the worst part.
It was the headline.
Bold.
Loud.
Unavoidable.
“BUSINESS TITAN COLTON GREENE SET TO MARRY FIANCÉE CARMEN DIEGO IN TWO WEEKS, OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT RELEASED.”
My fingers curled slowly at my sides.
Below it…
More headlines.
More posts.
More noise.
“Exclusive wedding details coming soon.”
“Power union confirmed.”
“Families finalize arrangements.”
My chest tightened.
This wasn’t just talk anymore.
This wasn’t just Carmen.
This was…
Public.
Official.
Announced.
I looked at Colton.
Slowly.
Carefully.
He was still staring at the screen.
But now…
His jaw had locked again.
His shoulders tense.
Something dangerous flickered behind
