I hate this.
I hate this strange, unreasonable feeling clawing at my chest.
It is my engagement party. Everything is going exactly according to plan. The ballroom is glowing beneath massive crystal chandeliers while soft music drifts through the hall. Politicians, investors, socialites, celebrities, every influential person worth knowing in New York seems to be standing somewhere inside this room holding champagne flutes and fake smiles.
The Walton estate had hosted hundreds of events over the years, but tonight was grand even by our standards.
Fresh white roses decorated every table. Golden lights wrapped around the pillars. Reporters and photographers waited outside the main entrance like vultures circling prey, desperate for tomorrow’s headlines.
