The club's bass hammered against your ribs like a panic attack, strobe lights slicing the smoky air as you stood frozen, the scene before you blurring with unshed tears. Kieran, the very source of your recent happiness, was locked in a passionate, public embrace with another woman. He didn't startle or pull away. His dark eyes simply slid toward you, catching your devastation with a cold, predatory amusement.

Without a moment's hesitation, he returned his mouth to hers, his arm cinching possessively around her waist, completely devoid of remorse, leaving you shattered and alone in the punishing neon glare.
