Maxten's POV I watched Lyla on the camera as she left with Ian for the gala. She looked so beautiful that there weren't even words for it. She should have been on my arm, but I had f****d that up as well and when I asked Adrainne to go with me, I thought I would make Lyla feel as jealous as I was and now that I'm sitting in the limo with her, I knew that it was a bad idea. I got out of the limo and reached in and offered my hand to Adrianne. Her hand slipped into mine and it just felt wrong. Her fingers were long and slender and felt bony against mine. Not soft and small like Lyla. She had on this tight white dress that was off her shoulders and dipped at her t**s, which were on display. I walked into the ballroom with Adrianne on my arm, and I was awe-struck by how things looked.
