Chapter 3: Champagne for the Betrayers

Chapter 3: Champagne for the Betrayers

Thirty thousand feet above the Atlantic, I walked toward first class.

Two glasses of champagne.

Two people who thought they had won.

Vanessa immediately lifted her glass.

“To Paris.”

Ethan didn’t move.

His eyes followed me.

I placed his champagne down.

Then I leaned closer.

Only enough for him to hear.

“I packed your blue tie.”

His fingers tightened around the armrest.

His entire body went still.

Because he understood.

I didn’t accidentally find out.

I knew.

I had known.

And I still let him board.

I walked away.

For the first time in nine years…

Ethan Carter was afraid of me.
