The ballroom erupted in cheers as midnight struck, fireworks painting the sky in brilliant hues. Amidst the chaos, betrayal struck: Estes embraced another woman, his lips meeting hers in a scandalous display. Shock paralyzed the girl, tears pricking her eyes, until a shadow loomed. Airlando, Estes' imposing father, materialized with predatory grace. His veiny, muscular arm encircled her waist, pulling her flush against his broad, tattooed chest. With ruthless dominance, he claimed her lips, silencing her gasp with a searing, sensual kiss. His dark eyes burned with possessive fire, shielding her from the world while silently mocking his son’s foolishness from across the room.
