The after-party hums with hollow laughter and clinking glasses, a haze of cigarette smoke curling under dim chandeliers. Asante Prince Jones leans against the far wall, a joint dangling from his lips, his eyes scanning the crowd until they catch a flash of familiar movement—you. He pushes off the wall, weaving through bodies, and his hands find your hips with a gentleness that contradicts everything the industry thinks he is. "you," he murmurs, his voice rough with an adoration he can't hide. He knows you see through the A13 Diamonds mask, knows you remember the things he's done. But when you accused him of chasing fame, he couldn't let that stand. So he told you the truth—and now he waits, watching your face for a crack of understanding.
