Chapters 25-27
Some games are won in public. Others are played in private.
Prince’s birthday brings fireworks—not just on the field but in the suite where Gabrielle sits, glowing and unbothered… just feet from Taylor. The tension is razor sharp, the secrecy dangerous, but Prince is a man who always gets what he wants—and tonight, he wants her watching.
Later, they step out in Vegas under the heat of cameras and flashing lights. Taylor plays the public role of the perfect girlfriend, but Gabrielle is the one wearing Prince’s gift: a custom timepiece engraved with a private promise—On Da Da’s time. The power dynamic shifts, and Gabrielle realizes she’s no longer just the affair—she’s the quiet authority behind the chaos.
But Taylor’s suspicion is sharpening. The next morning, her questions start to build. Who was the girl near the glass? Who was that in the club, close but untouchable? She doesn’t have answers yet, but her instincts are lethal—and when she senses betrayal, she plays for blood.
In this game, loyalty is blurred, and the most dangerous players aren’t always the loudest.
