Maya's POV
I couldn't stop moving around my bedroom, watching my sanity slip away piece by piece. Sebastian's text message glowed on my phone like a warning beacon: "Our conversation isn't over, sweetheart."
"Great. Just perfect," I whispered, pressing my palms against my face. "I mistook a billionaire for a male escort."
This kind of thing didn't happen to regular people. Ever. Not in real life.
Another buzz from my phone. Penelope had forwarded more screenshots from social media. My name was everywhere, splashed across every gossip page on the internet.
The headlines made my stomach twist into knots.
[Mystery woman captures Sebastian Sterling's attention!] [Is the nation's most sought-after bachelor finally taken?] [Sebastian Sterling's surprise engagement - who is she?] [New romance alert: Billionaire CEO goes public!]
I kept scrolling, each comment hitting like a physical blow.
