00:19lunch rush she was dragged to the student affairs deems office for an entire hour for theft
00:25then came the all-school notice dominic ashfield my fiance found out and said absolutely knocked it
00:31like it was just another tuesday then on my 22nd birthday dominic took me to oak hall westbrook's
00:36most exclusive restaurant and said he'd planned a surprise the table was already set when we arrived
00:41with everything i liked every dish he said he had something special to grab be right back
00:48i waited until the dining room closed
00:53he never came back i pulled out my card to cover the bill the cashier scanned it paused and slid
01:00it
01:00back across the counter i'm sorry miss sinclair your card is showing as invalid in the system
01:06invalid i stared at the card in my hand my fingers went cold this was the card dominic had given
01:12me
01:13right before we left after we got engaged he'd added me to the ashford family meal plan every purchase on
01:21campus charged to the family account billed directly to them but tonight right before we walked out the
01:28door he'd reached into my bag and taken the card he'd said kissing my forehead this one's on me
01:36it's your 22nd dominic wasn't picking up 12 calls 12 voicemails left the cashier drummed her fingers
01:45on the card reader miss sinclair do you have another form of payment we don't do tabs here and i'm
01:50sure
01:50you remember last month's incident i remembered last month dominic's childhood best friend bianca
01:57harlow took my dining dollars and treated her entire pie beta chapper to a two thousand dollar dinner
02:01then went and ran her mouth in the girl's locker room i was a clout haser with a pretty face
02:05dominic's
02:06gonna drop her the second he's bored so i logged into the portal and killed her access the next day
02:11she stepped up to the register and got declined once twice three times the line behind her stretched
02:18to the door her face went beet red in front of her sisters she never forgave me for that now
02:24i stood
02:24there phone in a death grip and my knuckles turned white then the doors swung open
02:31bianca walked in tucked under dominic's arm chin up blue eyes absolutely glowing with satisfaction
02:38behind them 14 maybe 15 people the entire inner circle of westbrook college
02:46phi kippa's executive board pi beta's social chars every single one of them was already staring
02:53dominic let go of bianca's arm and walked toward me the light caught his pale blonde hair he looked every
02:58bit the ashburned air which honestly wasn't far off the ashburns were east coast old money the oldest
03:02kind and dominic was their only son president of phi kappa the guy westbrook was basically built
03:06around and right now he was looking at me in a way i had never seen before elena he said
03:10low measured
03:12loud enough for every table and oh call to hear you get a real kick out of sabotaging people on
03:16the low
03:17huh freezing someone's card making them stand at a register and choke in front of everyone so now you
03:22know how it feels the room cracked open wait is he serious it's her birthday they've been together
03:27three years why would he three years doesn't mean anything bianca's known him since they were kids
03:31and elena she transferred from the west coast nobody can even find her people she's here on a
03:36scholarship right like a full ride that's what you get for clout chasing when domic's done with her
03:41she won't even have a seat at the table i dug my nails into my palm exactly what i thought
03:46he'd set
03:47this whole thing up on my birthday just to get back at me for bianca dominic walked bianca to the
03:53table and huanga pulled out her chair like i wasn't even in the room bianca his voice was quiet
03:59but the whole room heard it whatever she did to you i'm returning it every bit of it bianca's face
04:03broke open she leaned over and kissed the corner of his mouth thank you dom then she looked at me
04:07getting the picture now elena that account belongs to the ashford family you're not family yet what gave
04:11you the right to touch my access in the first place she dropped her bag onto the table then shoved
04:15it
04:15hard my water glass tipped liquid spilled across my shoes seeping through the fabric she said
04:21covering her mouth oops slipped sorry about that though those shoes weren't worth much anyway right
04:26scattered laughter from behind her dominic didn't look at the spill didn't look at me he just slipped
04:31his arm around bianca's waist and looked straight at the cashier whatever bianca orders tonight put it
04:35on the ashford account then he looked at me that smirk wide open not even trying to hide it as
04:40for her
04:41if she can't pay go buy the book i stood there the room shrank inch by inch dominic stood up
04:47he wanted
04:48to make sure i had nowhere left to go he swept the room with one slow deliberate look then pulled
04:53out
04:53his phone typed something and held the screen up for everyone to see the phi kappa group chat anyone who
04:59helps elena sinclair tonight is out all event access gone everyone in that room knew exactly what that
05:05meant cross dominic ashvin and you were done no party invites no frat events no senior gala full stop a
05:14few people who actually knew me i watched something flicker across their faces one girl actually reached
05:18into her bag bianna caught it she stared that girl down hard the hand slipped back out empty i looked
05:25at
05:25dominic three years of feelings gone just like that dominic ashforth you really want to do this
05:31he held my gaze without blinking when you froze her card and humiliated her in front of everyone
05:37what did you think was going to happen this is your lesson remember it she's mine engaged or not you
05:44don't get to come after her she's mine those two words hit like a knife straight in three years ago
05:53i just transferred to westbrook bumped straight into him on the steps outside the student union building
05:57full collision books everywhere he spent the whole next semester on my case every morning he'd be
06:03waiting outside my dorm with an oat milk latte from the campus cafe my exact order every time on rainy
06:08days he'd pull off his own hoodie and drop it over my head then sprint across the entire football field
06:13in just a t-shirt when a group of pie bada upper classes cornered me in the library hallway i
06:19don't even
06:19know how he found out but he showed up walked straight through all of them and put himself between me
06:24and
06:25the girl running her mouth looked her dead in the eye and said she's with me i was gone after
06:30that
06:30not because of his last name because i actually believed him and now he just used those same words
06:36for her so what's it gonna be bianca's voice pulled me back she leaned back legs crossed you gonna call
06:43someone to bail you out or she let it hang eyes dragging slowly over my dress i felt myself shrink
06:51nice piece couture right maybe the boys can auction it off right here piece by piece to cover
07:00your tab the room lost it dominic really said this is for bianca and meant it elena is cooked
07:06i told y'all cinderella stories don't exist in real life the ashvins were never going to bring home a
07:10girl with no pedigree bianca's always been their people the higher they build you up the harder you
07:14fall sis that's just how it goes the phi kepper core the ones clustered around dominic were watching
07:21me with that specific look a few of them already had their phones out my whole body was shaking
07:28before we'd left dominic had taken my dining dollars on purpose
07:35right now i had nothing but the dress on my back
07:38and my phone had just died battery gone that's when it hit me my phone my card the reservation
07:46the timing none of it was an accident and degurd the so trend he didn't forget my birthday
07:54he planned it bianca moved toward me smiling like she'd already won it's getting late elena
08:01the cashier's waiting to close out your tab don't tell me you're actually broke because a tab this
08:07size if you can't cover it this goes straight to the student conduct committee i felt it in my
08:13stomach the student conduct committee at westbrook college the one line nobody crossed one formal
08:18strike and i could lose my scholarship lose my housing get pulled from the honors track or get
08:23kicked out for good dominic didn't just want to humiliate me he wanted to erase me
08:32bianca took another step forward close enough that i could smell her perfume she tilted her
08:37chin up and looked at me like i was already done there is one other option that smile ale never
08:42moved
08:42say please mean it maybe i'll make this easier for you she reached out and poked my shoulder
08:50dom listens to me always has i reached up and blocked her hand just that bianca reacted like
08:58she'd been hit by a truck grabbed her cheek and screamed she hit me i watched dominic's eyes shift
09:07no that's not what he grabbed my shoulder and shoved hard i went down backward caught the corner of the
09:15table on the way the pain shot straight up my spine the edge caught my arm sharp clean and i
09:23felt the
09:24warmth before i saw the blood i hit the floor and looked up furious for just a second something moved
09:31across dominic's face then it was gone elena you hit her in front of everyone that doesn't just go
09:38away bianca gets that back he jutted his chin at two fi cup members standing nearby both of them
09:45built like they belonged on the offensive line they grabbed my arms one on each side and hauled me off
09:51the
09:51floor bianca walked toward me slowly my heart mummered not from fear from disbelief the ashfords
10:01hadn't always been east coast royalty dominic hadn't always been untouchable because of me i was
10:08the one who'd convinced my dad to use our family's connections to open every door for them rivals who
10:13would have gone after the ashfords backed off because nobody stepped to my dad i'd planned to tell
10:18dominic tonight on my birthday tell him i wasn't some scholarship girl from the west coast with no
10:23pedigree i was a saint claire the sole heir to a west coast dynasty that made the ashterns look like
10:28new money i was going to take him home to meet my family i just didn't see this coming i'd
10:32read him
10:32wrong bianca turned to the table and picked up a heavy plate of lobster marinara the exact dish dominic
10:39had ordered for me she stepped right into my space raised the plate and didn't hesitate splash a wet
10:45sickening sound echoed across the dining room she had flipped the entire plate directly over my head
10:49scalding pasta hit my crown thick red sauce slid down my hair and cling to my cheeks the empty plate
10:55slipped from her hand hitting the hardwood floor with a sharp crack and shattering at my feet rich
11:00tomato sauce dripped from my eyelashes bleeding rapidly into the pale fabric of my couture dress
11:06i didn't flinch i didn't even lift a hand to wipe my face i just dug my nails into my
11:11palm and looked
11:12straight through the mess at dominic no anger no tears dominic this is on you when the ashfords go
11:19under and everything you've built comes crashing down remember you chose this
11:30girl you've been watching too many dramas look at you
11:35bruised out laughing look at you what you think you're some secret rich heiress she might actually
11:40be losing it like dominic looked at me like i was wasting his time cold checked out drop the act
11:49the ashfords going bankrupt that's cute figure out how you're covering this bill
11:56miss sinclair it's late i got places to be i looked around the room every person who'd sat
12:01next to me in class studied with me in the library heads down all of them one girl someone i
12:07actually
12:07considered a real friend snuck a glance at me then looked away the second our eyes met scared of being
12:12seen nobody moved the ashfords ran this campus the board of trustees the student conduct committee the
12:17entire greek council and outside city hall the banks every law firm that mattered cross dominic
12:23ashford and you'd cross the entire east coast old money network i walked toward that girl she saw me
12:28coming shot up from her seat and backed away elena don't i can't help you pay i'm not asking you

13:03bianca turned toward the guys who'd been watching a little too too eagerly the girl hesitated
13:10looked at dominic looked back at me
13:16then she held out her phone
13:21i dialed the number i knew by heart but had never once called
13:24every second felt longer than the last less than 10 minutes left bianca was done waiting
13:31she stood up i'm such an idiot i actually believed you nobody's coming for you girl
13:39hey she turned to the cashier have your guys hold her down nobody's risking the ashrams over
13:44this girl the guards moved in big mean done with waiting i put my hand up wait there's still time

14:21clock
14:21one of the fi keeper guys big sloppy clearly had too much to drink
14:27reached over and grabbed at my dress i smacked his hand away
14:31yo dominic your fiance's got a temper
14:35dominic smiled and swirled his wine completely unbothered
14:40she can't fair game have at it
14:41i stared at him something inside me went completely cold this was my fiance
14:48watching other men put their hands on me and he didn't even flinch he caught my eyes and shrugged
14:54don't look at me like that i'm not helping you i just want bianca happy
14:58that was all they needed to hear they grabbed me arms shoulders and started pulling at my dress
15:05i fought back hard every scream just hyped them up more i looked at every single face
15:11every one of you who touched me i remember faces not one of you
15:17bianca didn't even look up phone out already recording waiting to put this all over the internet
15:22time's up take it
15:25bang the heavy oak doors were practically kicked off their hinges
15:28every head snapped toward the entrance and the second they saw him the whole room locked up
15:34wait is that nathan thorn why the hell is the board sheriff here
15:38dominic and bianca shot to their feet completely thrown bianca actually rubbed her eyes like she
15:43couldn't trust what she was seeing nathan thorn walked in wearing a navy blazer tie slightly
15:49crooked like he dressed on the way here president wiltmore was behind him
15:54mr thorn president whitmore what are you doing here nathan didn't look at him didn't look at

16:10he took one look at my torn dress the dirt on my hands the cut on my arm

16:21spoke to the president shut this down tonight and i want a full explanation one i'm actually satisfied
16:27with otherwise the board will be reassessing its investment in west college effect immediately
16:30the president went white speechless oak hall which 30 seconds ago had been loud enough to rattle the
16:37windows went dead the whole room locked up nobody even knew what they were looking at
16:45they all knew the name name nathan thorn the ashfords were east coast royalty sure but the network behind
16:52nathan thorn it could swallow 10 ashford families hold people had always wondered how the ashfords
17:00pulled it off how a fading old money family suddenly rocketed to the top of the east coast in just
17:05a few
17:05years they never knew new the answer was me when i take over as the ashford heir and rebuild this
17:13family
17:14i'm putting a ring on it that's a promise i was so gone for him i asked my dad to
17:22quietly back the ashfords

20:37grenade the arrogant sneers vanished replaced by sheer terror the saint claire's weren't just old money
20:45they were the kind of name that made the ashfords look new bianca's smile dissolved the color drained
20:52from her lips dominic's hand started shaking around the phone dominic snapped his head up and looked at
20:59me and for the first time all night fear you you're actually
21:05i smoothed out my dress the one they'd grabbed at slowly nathan stepped forward composed respectful

21:32plays it before nathan even finished speaking hurried footsteps echoed outside then the doors flew open
21:39again edward ashford stumbled in shirt untucked tie loose with several stone-faced family aides behind
21:45him his eyes swept the room the mess on the floor the cut on my arm one look at dominic
21:52and edward
21:53looked like he could have killed him right there edward's shoulder slumped the arrogant billionaire
21:58practically shrunk in front of me his hands shaking slightly as he stepped forward miss saint claire
22:04my son is an embarrassment the ashford family owes you a formal apology please let us make tonight right
22:11the butler stepped forward and opened a velvet box pink diamond necklace the ashford family heirloam
22:16mr ashford that's not necessary edward didn't even flinch i glanced at it i just want what you took
22:22from me tonight my dignity edward's expression hardened he looked at bianca still crumpled on the
22:27floor then back at his son like he couldn't believe what he'd raised dominic i have never been more
22:32ashamed of you in my life you turned on your own fiance with outsiders how am i supposed to trust
22:37you
22:37with this family after tonight edward swung his knuckles connected with dominic's jaw dominic hit the
22:43floor tasting blood but didn't dare make a sound effective today you are no longer the ashford heir
22:49i'd sooner leave everything to a kid i've never met than hand it to you he turned to be ianka
22:56and the harlow family every west coast partnership is done see how long you last without us
23:04bianca dropped to the floor grabbing at dominic's pants leg sobbing dominic please if my dad finds out
23:12about this i'm dead i am so dead dominic looked down at her something moved across his face
23:19complicated distant with his entire inheritance on the line whatever this was didn't matter anymore
23:25bianca you ruined me
23:30she completely fell apart edward turned back to me he helped dominic up carefully and pushed him toward me

23:41one more chance whatever it takes name it he will spend the rest of his miserable life making this up

24:21through
24:21all of mine tonight i took one step back nathan was already beside me i turned unhurring i'm not
24:27interested in the ashford future anymore and us we're done bianca stood in the middle of the room
24:33like someone had cut her strings then the doors opened again the air changed he walked in wearing
24:42a dark green varsity jacket with the saint paul's crest stitched over the chest half a head taller than
24:48dominic broader jawline like something out of a renaissance painting he didn't look at dominic
24:55he walked straight to me glanced down at my wrist and frowned you're bleeding
25:03he pulled a perfectly folded white handkerchief from his pocket and pressed it gently against my
25:09wrist
25:12then only then he turned and seemed to notice dominic for the first time
25:17ah you must be ashford he extended his hand but not to shake he just casually straightened his
25:25cufflinks sebastian sterling elena and i grew up together she transferred here
25:31the corner of his mouth lifted to get away from me like it was an inside joke looks like she
25:39trusted
