of frame practical 

Brad’s six–foot frame practically knocked me over. 

I stumbled, ready to go off on him, but then Tanya stormed over, her face twisted with rage. 

For a split second, I thought, Wow, she looks awful. I couldn’t believe I’d ever thought she was pretty. 

I guess it’s true what they say: looks can show what’s inside. Tanya’s heart was twisted and ugly, and now her face matched 

“Brad Twain, get over here,” Tanya barked at Brad. 

“Keira, help me,” Brad whimpered from behind me, sounding like a scared little kid. 

This was getting out of hand. 

“Let go!” I snapped, feeling beyond frustrated. 

“Please, help me!” Brad whined, clinging to me like some kind of human Velcro. 

I gritted my teeth, lifted my foot, and stomped on his. 

“OW!” He yelped, finally letting go. I wiped my arm like I could scrub off his clinginess and took a step 

back 

But Tanya blocked me again, I shot her a glare. “Move, 

“I didn’t know you could be so heartless,” she hissed. 

I felt my blood start to boil. “Tanya Twain, if you’ve got problems, go see a therapist.” 

“You and Jace broke up, but you still let the Johnstons treat me like trash and make my life hell! I got kicked out, but Jace is already finding me a new place. Do you seriously think you’ve won?* 

So Lindey really went through with it–Tanya was out of that penthouse. 

Yesterday, I’d tried to stop Lindey, but now? Now I thought she deserved a freaking medal. 

With Tanya glaring daggers at me, I shrugged and smirked. “Winning doesn’t matter. As long as it ruins your day, I’m good.” 

Her face went from red to ghost–white. This won’t end well for you.” 

End well?” I scoffed. “The best ending is you losing everything.” 

f she was so set on making me the villain, I might as well own it. 

You…” Tanya’s lips quivered as she searched for a comeback but found nothing. 

was so over it. I sidestepped her and headed out. 

Behind me, Brad’s voice rang out like the world’s most annoying mosquito. “Keira, you have to come to ny birthday party- Ow! Tanya, why are you hitting me? Keira… help me…”

stack of onts in my hand. I needed some peace to read through them, so I hurried to my car. 

But, as the saying goes, when it rains, it pours. Just as I reached my car, I nearly smacked right into Jace. 

Of course. Our cars were parked right next to each other. 

I had zero interest in talking to him, so I yanked open my car door, ready to make a quick escape. But he called out, “Rea.” 

I didn’t bother looking back. “I’m busy,” I said over my shoulder, sliding into the car. 

But before I could shut the door, Jace grabbed it. All I wanted was a moment to read my parents‘ accident report, but it seemed like everyone was hell–bent on getting in my way. 

Fuming, I snapped, “Jace Johnston, what do you want? Let go! We’re done. There’s nothing left to talk about.” 

“My mom kicked Tanya out of that penthouse. Did you know that?” His eyes were dark, searching mine. 

It wasn’t really a question. He already thought I was behind it. 

I got why Tanya would blame me, but Jace? We’d been together for ten years, and he actually thought I’d stoop that low? 

Wow. Those ten years meant nothing. 

I didn’t deny it. Instead, I looked him straight in the eyes and spat, “She was acting like she owned the place. She should’ve been kicked out ages ago.”
