Sienna’s expression shifted instantly.
Halsey gave her a sharp once–over.

“Gilbert dumped you three years ago, but you’ve never stopped thinking about him. I guess that makes sense. With Gilbert’s rise these past few years, who else could compare? But he doesn’t want you anymore. You’re all dressed up today to try and seduce him, right? Those internet–famous bunny girls around him must have you feeling pretty threatened.”
Sienna’s face darkened completely. She hadn’t expected Halsey to know all that.
Halsey sneered, “I’m not the one stirring up trouble, so you’d better nof come after me. I don’t care about your petty drama. If you want to make a fool of me, I’ll make a fool out of you first.”
Sienna was furious. She had always resented Halsey. After all, Halsey was born into a good family, better looking, and, most importantly, the one Gilbert truly liked the most, despite all his flings over the past three years.
Gilbert had never stopped thinking about Halsey.
Sienna’s jealousy ran deep.
Clenching her fists, Sienna snapped, “Don’t get too cocky! Gilbert and I will get back together.”
Halsey shrugged. “Pfft! I’m not your mom. If you two get back together, it’s none of my business.”
Sienna was speechless. Frustrated that she could never win their verbal battles, she stomped her foot and stormed off.
Halsey settled back into her seat, tilting her head to take a slow sip of her cocktail.
She drank too fast, and a sharp sting burned at the back of her throat, spicy and harsh. That burning sensation quickly spread deep into her chest.
Halsey reached for her glass again, but Madeline’s hand gently stopped her.
“Halsey,” Madeline said softly, concern in her eyes. “Are you thinking about Dwight?”
Halsey said nothing.
Madeline’s face fell. “Three years ago, Dwight married someone else and then disappeared. It’s been three whole years, and he still hasn’t come back.”
There was a trace of sadness in her voice.
Halsey shook off the mood. “Maddy, no sad talks tonight. Come on Let’s dance.”
She took Madeline’s hand and pulled her onto the crowded dance floor.
Madeline had never been here before and looked unsure. “I can’t dance.”
Halsey smiled. “I’ll teach you.”
With quick, fluid movements, Halsey began a lively dance, her arms and legs moving with energy and grace.
Meanwhile, Sienna was boiling with anger, but she hadn’t forgotten her real goal tonight–Gilbert.
Halsey was right; Gilbert had skyrocketed these past three years. No one else was a better catch.
He was handsome, fun–loving, and wild in bed. She just couldn’t let go.
She had heard many bunny girls had come to celebrate Gilbert’s birthday tonight, so sitting still was out of the question. She had to make the first move and get back together with him.
Smoothing her dress, Sienna made her way toward the exclusive VIP booths.

But a black–clad bodyguard quickly stepped in front of her. “Sorry you can’t enter. Mr. Greenwood has reserved this whole place tonight. No outsiders allowed.”
know Gilbert,” Sienna said firmly. “I’m his ex. Let me through.
“Do you have an invitation?” the guard asked.
Sienna hesitated. “No.”
The guard shook his head. “Then I’m sorry, but you’re not getting. There are too many people trying to sneak in to celebrate Mr. Greenwood’s birthday tonight. We’ve already turned away several people like you. You need to leave.”
Sienna’s anger flared.
She looked up toward Gilbert inside–he was lounging on the sofa glass of red wine in hand, watching the bunny girls dance in front of him.
