The Moment She Chose

From where they stayed in the water, Jace's gaze scanned around, looking for any culprit to what had happened. He knew this was no coincidence given that Kiera had no need to stand close to the wine glass tower in the first place till she was called.

And for one reason, he knew the waitress who had called her, had a hand in the game here. His eyes searched for her first. And to his surprise, a mix of shock and fear remained evident in her eyes.

Suddenly his eyes landed on Cristal who stood close to the wine glass tower, partially concealed by the crowd of onlookers staring at them.

When he darted his gaze back to the waitress, he caught her line of sight had changed and followed it only to see her staring at Cristal before running off.

Jace's eyes turned cold as he pulled Kiera close and whispered something into her ear.

"We'll deal with it later. Right now, let's just get out of here."
