Chapter 14
I waited downstairs for him, perfectly dressed and prepared.
People passing by gave me curious glances.
I waited for what felt like an eternity, but he never showed up.
I called and texted him repeatedly, but received nothing in return.
Eventually, I gave up and called a cab instead.
By the time I arrived at the event, the dinner was already in full swing.
The guests were laughing and chatting in small groups, completely absorbed in their own conversations.
felt lost.
I couldn’t find Jace, and I didn’t know anyone there.
So, I retreated to a quiet corner and sinking into a chair,feeling the weight of loneliness settle in.
And then, I saw them-Jace, arm-in-arm with Aria, weaving effortlessly through the crowd.
The moment they entered the room, all eyes were drawn to them-they were magnetic,commending the attention of everyone around.
They gracefully moved around the room, greeting everyone with effortlessly charm.
I watched as Aria handed Jace a drink with familiar ease, leaned in to whispered something, and then shared an intimate smile with him- one that I had once hought was mine alone.
Surprisingly, my first emotion wasn’t anger.
It was a quiet shock at how well they fit together-like two pieces of a puzzle I had never quite belonged to.
