Meanwhile, Fortune and Sienna were holed up in Sienna’s studio. The place was a disaster-shards of glass
glittered across the floor, and Fortune sat on the couch, arms folded, watching Sienna lose it.
“Dammit! Queenie, just go to hell! Go to hell!” Sienna shrieked, hurling another expensive mug against the wall.
It shattered, adding to the
mess.
“I told you not to get so cocky,” Fortune snapped. “It was supposed to be a straightforward exhibition, but you
just had to invite them.”
He wasn’t exactly calm himself. The two of them were in this together-if Sienna went down, she'd drag him with
her. Sometimes he wondered if this place was cursed. Ever since coming back to the country, nothing had gone
right.
He'd barely managed to solve the Ileana Tate fiasco, thinking maybe Sienna could finally be useful. But no-she’d
barely announced their engagement before landing him in another colossal mess.
“Of all people to plagiarize, why Queenie’s studio? If you'd copied someone else, they might've settled for some
money or a little hush-hush deal. But Queenie? Do you honestly think Alessia will let you
off the hook?”
Fortune's tone grew sharp. If things fell apart now, what was left of the plan? Useless. Every last one of them just
dragging him down.
“Oh, Alessia, Alessia! If you think she’s so important, why don’t you marry her yourself?” Sienna shot back, her
face stormy.
Fortune bristled, caught off guard by the jab. He opened his mouth to retort, but just then, the office door rattled
with a knock.
“Cin!” Sienna barked, her patience long gone.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Ms. Winston...” The young assistant stepped in, voice trembling. She
eyed the broken glass on the carpet, half-afraid she'd be next.

“What is it?”
“Clients are asking to cancel their orders, and... the online comments...” The assistant’s voice trailed off as she
handed Sienna her phone.

That was her phone!
The assistant, forgetting everything else, rushed to retrieve it, but the screen was shattered-completely dead.
Not even a flicker.
She was nearly in tears. If she hadn't been the newest intern, she wouldn't have been sent in as cannon fodder
in the first place.
