Read Captured by the Bad Boy – Chapter 1: The Launch Party Showdown
The rooftop party was in full swing, but none of the laughter, the mingling, or the clinking of glasses reached me. My focus was sharp, my body taut with the knowledge of what was about to go down. Tonight wasn’t about business. It wasn’t about the fake smiles or the corporate pleasantries. It was about revenge. It was about my darkest past..
I stood at the entrance, a trench coat hanging off my shoulders, the smooth fabric covering the only thing that mattered tonight, what was beneath. Lace and silk. All of it a reminder of how far I’d come. How much I’d changed. How much he had no idea who I was anymore.
I could feel the eyes on me as I entered the party. Men tried not to stare, their gazes lingering a little too long. Women looked at me with jealousy and curiosity, as though trying to figure out what I was doing here. I didn’t care. I never did.
I wasn’t here for attention. I was here to make him feel small, to make him realize exactly what he had thrown away. I was here to destroy the last vestiges of that horrible, insecure girl he used to make fun of.
When I found him, I felt a rush of satisfaction. There he was, Tristan Hale. The bastard who had ruined my self-esteem for years. Who had made me feel like I wasn’t worthy of anything. The same guy who used to call me fat, ugly, and laugh about it with his friends. He was here, and he looked confused. Like he knew who I was, but still couldn’t put his fingers on it.
Good. Let him struggle. Let him feel the weight of that recognition sink in.
