It’s the night of the masquerade ball.
Everything in my life has been leading up to this point, and I’m
already messing it up.
“Julie, I think something is wrong with this makeup,” I say, turning to
my best friend. “It’s melting off my skin. Is it melting off your skin, too?”
Julie turns to look at me. She pinches her lips together, then bursts out
laughing.
“It’s okay. You’re just a little sweaty,” she says. “It’s probably because
you have a thing for this hot billionaire.”
The hot billionaire in question is Max Montgomery. He’s the reason I’m
going to this ball in the first place. As an investigative journalist, this is a
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for me. If I can expose this man to the world,
I’ll never have to write about another celebrity breakup. Or worse, who
unfollowed who on social media.
“I do not have a thing for him,” I say.
“So you agree that he’s hot,” she says.
Heat crawls up my cheeks. “You’re not helping my sweating situation
here, Jules.”
She finishes applying her eyeliner before grabbing some blotting paper
and dabbing it over my face.
“There,” she says. “You look flawless again.”
“What if I can’t stop sweating?” I ask.
Julie frowns at me. She’s never seen me like this.
The last time I was this nervous was when I ran away from my
childhood home.
“Chloe, are you sure you want to go to this ball?” she asks. “I would
completely understand if you had a change of heart. I’d be just as happy to
cozy up on the couch with a carton of Ben & Jerry’s and watch Hallmark
movies with you.”
She knows me too well. The thought of skipping this ball sounds like
the best thing in the world.
But I know I’ll forever regret it if I do that.
Also, there’s something dark shimmering inside my heart. And it tells
me to just go for it and see what happens.
“I have to stick to the plan,” I say.
“Walk me through this brilliant plan again,” Julie says, crossing her
arms as she watches me through narrowed eyes.
“Julie, please,” I say. “I really need your support right now.”
“It’s the most reckless idea you’ve ever had. Forgive me if I’m not
feeling very supportive,” she says.
I told her that I was about to seduce the corrupt billionaire and get him
to reveal all of his dark secrets.
She thinks my plan might backfire.
Her obvious disapproval makes me doubt myself, and that, in turn,
makes it harder for me to breathe.
“Okay, never mind. I support you. Just breathe,” Julie says. “Deep
breaths, babe.”
But my lungs are currently only accepting the bare minimum amount of
oxygen needed to stay alive.
“Do it with me,” Julie says, clasping my wrists. She takes a deep
inhale.
I inhale with her.
