“Yeah, she told me on the way here. Thanks, Shaun. She’s really excited about it.”
“She deserves it. Her work is impeccable.”
After Shaun made his speech and we ate some of the finest food in Los Angeles, Ava excused herself to the bathroom.

Ava
The night was incredible and perfect. I felt like Cinderella at the ball, and Grayson was my prince charming. I was in the bathroom touching up my lipstick when the door opened, and a woman walked in.
“Hello, Ava.” She walked over to the sink and took out her compact from her purse.
“I’m sorry, but do we know each other?” I asked.
“You don’t know me, but I know you. You’re the whore who’s fucking my boyfriend.”
“Excuse me?” My heart raced.
“Dr. Grayson Kind is my man. I had him first, and I don’t take too kindly to other women trying to steal him from me. This is your one and only warning, bitch. Stay away from him, or something bad is going to happen to you.” She placed her compact in her purse and left the bathroom.
I stood there shaking, trying to catch my breath. I could feel Freya with me, trying to keep me calm. I left the bathroom and walked over to Grayson, who stood talking with Gabriel, Sam, Conner, and Jackson. He immediately knew something was wrong the second he looked at me.
“Ava, what’s wrong?”
“Some woman approached me in the bathroom, told me that you were hers, and warned me to stay away from you. What the fuck, Grayson?” Tears filled my eyes.
“What did she look like?” he asked in a panic.
“She was about five foot six with long blonde hair and green eyes.”
“Fuck.” He looked around the place. “What color dress was she wearing?”
“A short black dress,” I said.
“Jesus Christ,” Gabriel said. “You try to find her, and I’ll get Simon.”
“Ava, stay with Sam, Conner, and Jackson. Promise me.”
“We won’t let her out of our sight,” Jackson said.

Kate
I opened my eyes and smiled as I stared at the guys.
“Hello, fellas. Kate is in the house and ready for some ass-kicking.” I grinned. “Now, where is that little bitch.” I looked around.
“Uh-oh,” Conner said.
“Hello, boys. Ava.” Aunt Barb smiled.
“Hey, Barbie. As much as I’d love to chat, I can’t stick around.” I took off my heels and walked away.
I knew she wouldn’t be stupid enough to hang around and get caught by Grayson, so I ran down the escalators to the ground level of the parking garage. I caught a glimpse of her scurrying out of the garage and onto the streets of L.A. I threw my shoes down and ran after her, and just as I was almost out of the garage, I heard Grayson’s commanding voice.
“STOP, KATE!”
