I couldn’t believe this was happening on my engagement night! Everything was going as planned until a few minutes ago. Somehow, Clarissa had found a way to make this night about her.
The girl always knew how to destroy my life with her tricks. She wasn’t as innocent as everyone wanted to believe. She was anything but innocent—a manipulative, evil presence.
Just when I was getting things to go my way, she ruined them for me. I should have seen this coming. I should have been prepared.
I wanted to see the pain on her face when Damon announced our engagement in front of everyone. Yet, the girl chose to be a coward and ran before anything could happen.
“What’s happening?” Dante asked as he joined my side.
He wasn’t here earlier. When did he arrive?
“I thought you weren’t attending the party?” I asked him, pretending to care.
He stiffened, “I didn’t want to, but I thought I should at least be there for you and Damon. It may not be a happy occasion for me, but it is one for both of you.”
I nodded, “thank you, Dante. I’m happy you came, but right now, everything is a mess, and I’m losing my mind!”
He frowned, “where is Damon?”
I bit my lip in frustration. “He left,” I mumbled angrily.
His eyes narrowed, “he left you? Alone? On your engagement night?”
“Don’t let her manipulate you,” Griffin said behind us. “Clarissa is missing. We’re all looking for her, including Damon.”
I narrowed my eyes; Griffin was constantly pushing my buttons. I disliked him just as much as I hated Clarissa.
Why was he even listening to our conversation? It had nothing to do with him.
“Clarissa is missing?” He asked Griffin. “Where was the last place you saw her?”
“She was supposed to be in her room,” he explained. “But it turns out she isn’t even at home. Damon went to look for her, but we have no idea where he went either. He disappeared just like she did.”
“Maybe she’s in the woods,” Dante suggested. “She did that the last time we couldn’t find her.”
“Would she take a risk like that after what happened recently?” Griffin asked. “I don’t want to believe she’d do something like that.”
“Oh, trust me,” I said. “She is capable of doing something that stupid. I’m sure all of you are worrying for no reason. She will be back soon. I’m more worried about Damon. What would all of these people think if he didn’t return soon? It would look like he left me!”
“That wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world now, would it?” Griffin asked me.
“There’s no time for this,” Dante growled. “The sooner we find Damon and Clarissa, the sooner everything can move forward.”
He was right. As much as I wanted to forget about Clarissa tonight, they had to find her for this engagement to happen. If I wanted it to happen tonight, I’d have no choice but to help them find her.
The forest was probably a good place to start searching for her. If she wasn’t here and if no vehicles were missing, then she had to have left on foot. We needed to speak to the guards.
“We should search the woods,” I told Dante. “We can go together. Everyone else could wait here and keep looking for her.”
I wanted time alone with Dante. I still wanted him under my control. Even though I was marrying Damon, I wanted Dante to be under my spell. I loved having both of them do anything for me.
