Chapter 20

• AUTHOR'S POV
• “She dares to steal my moment in the spotlight”. Rose snarked as her nails dug into Ryan ’s arm as the urge to confront Lily surged within her.
• “Rose, you’re gripping my arm too tightly. What’s wrong?” Ryan ’s voice snapped her out of her thoughts. He had noticed the pressure on his arm and glanced at her in concern. For a fleeting moment, he wondered if she’d caught him admiring the striking woman in red. But one look at her serious expression told him it was something else.
