Alexander leaned closer.
"You're enjoying this," he said quietly.
Emily didn't deny it.
"They deserve it."
His lips curved slightly.
"Good."
Because he didn't marry someone weak.
The event continued.
But now—
Everyone's attention was on them.
Emily walked through the crowd like she owned it.
Because now—
She did.
And when her former best friend tried to approach again—
Security stopped her.
"Sorry," the guard said.
"You're not on the guest list."
Emily didn't even turn around.
She didn't need to.
She had already won.
