Ella
Paige’s delighted gasp echoed in my ear…her joy practically shimmering through the phone. She couldn’t hide it, no matter how she tried to soften her tone.
She was savoring my “heartbreak.”
Relishing it.
Drinking it in like the sweetest wine.
“You must be feeling pretty miserable,” she cooed, her voice silky, taunting. “Knowing Jack’s about to marry me? If you still think he belongs to you, then come to my engagement party tomorrow and take your best shot. Try stealing him back.”
The challenge was clear.
She thought she was daring me.
But Paige had no idea I was no longer the girl she believed she could push around.
She still pictured the Ella she used to know.….the one who cried too easily, hid her trembling hands, and let others walk all over her.
She didn’t see Kane stand
