Vivienne’s POV Post
I couldn’t stop staring at her. Was that really Camila, dressed like that?
She stood alone near the edge of the ballroom, holding a glass of champagne as though she belonged there. But she didn’t.
This was Luna Catherine’s birthday dinner. The kind of event where every guest had anamne people recognized. Powerful families. Wealthy heirs. Alphas with influence that stretched far beyond Ravencrest and Silverhaven.
Camila had no business being here. Unless she had somehow followed Julian. Or worse, found another man willing to bring her into a room she had no place in. The thought irritated
I looked at Julian. He was still watching her. My fingers tightened around his arm. Why was he looking at her like that?
I forced a smile. Then I raised my voice. “Who is that impostor? Does she even have an
invitation?”
A few people nearby turned toward me. I pointed in Camila’s direction. “Perhaps security should check. Some people have a habit of showing up where they don’t belong.”
The conversations around us quieted. Someone glanced at Camila.
Another guest whispered, “Who is she? She looks important.”
I smiled. “I wouldn’t be surprised if she’s here because of someone else’s husband.”
A few eyebrows lifted. The whispers started immediately.
“Is she after a married man?”
“Who?”
“That’s embarrassing.”
Camila slowly lowered her champagne glass. She didn’t look frightened. That annoyed me even more. Before she could say anything, an older man standing nearby suddenly frowned.
“Wait.” He was staring at her. “Wasn’t the Whitmore heir supposed to attend tonight?”
The woman beside him followed his gaze., Her eyes widened.
“You think that’s her?”
My smile disappeared. The Whitmore heir? No, they were simply delusional. It couldn’t be.
I looked at Camila again. The dress. The makeup. The confidence. The way people had been
staring at her since we walked in. For the first time, doubt crept into my mind.

“Camila? The Whitmore granddaughter?” I let out a sharp laugh.
couldn’t help it. “That?” I pointed at her. “That has to be a joke.”
I turned toward Julian. “Right, Julian?”
He didn’t laugh. My smile faltered. He was still looking at Camila.
There was something strange in his expression. Not amusement.
Not anger. Something closer to disbelief and lust.
My nails dug into his sleeve. “Julian.”
He finally looked at me. I forced a sweet smile and leaned closer.
“Say something.”
He cleared his throat. “Vivienne, don’t waste your energy on someone irrelevant.”
I stared at him. Irrelevant? Then why couldn’t he stop looking at her?
I turned back toward Camila. She was watching us now. And there was a faint smile on her lips. That smile irritated me.
Everyone knew Camila had been obsessed with Julian for years.
She had followed him around like a shadow.
She had accepted whatever little he gave her and acted grateful for it. But now she was standing here dressed like some mysterious heiress, as if she had suddenly become someone important. I wasn’t buying it.
“Interesting,” I said loudly. Several guests turned toward me. “If she’s so irrelevant, why is she here?”
The whispers grew louder. I smiled. “Maybe she came here stalking my husband. She’s been chasing my husband for years.”
Some woman nearby looked shocked. “They dated?”
“She’s his ex?”
“I thought Vivienne was his first serious relationship.”
I felt a small thrill at the attention. This was exactly what I wanted.
Let everyone see Camila for what she was. Then I looked at Julian.
He wasn’t looking at me. He was looking at her again.
My smile faded. Something about the way he watched Camila made my stomach twist. I was more determined to ruin her.
I lifted my chin. “Isn’t this getting ridiculous?” I gestured toward Camila. “First, she appeared at the mall when Julian and I were there. Then at Silverstone restaurant. Now she’s here at Luna Catherine’s birthday dinner.” I gave a small laugh. “At some point, we have to stop

calling it a coincidence.”
The people around us exchanged curious looks. I tightened my hold on Julian’s arm. “He dumped her, yet she keeps turning up wherever he is. I think we all know what that means I glanced at Camila. “Maybe she finally realized Julian would soon be the Alpha of Ravencrest and can’t accept that she lost him.”
I remembered how things used to be between us. Back then, I had stayed close to Camila because I needed her. I had called her my friend, borrowed her clothes, asked about Julen, and pretended I cared about her. But I only wanted Julian. She had trusted me.
It had been almost too easy. Now I didn’t have to pretend anymore.
And honestly, I preferred it this way. At least I didn’t have to hide behind a fake smile.
Camila took another sip of champagne. Her calm expression infuriated me the most. Then she looked at me and hissed. “Not everyone wants the trash you have.”
My smile disappeared. She continued calmly. “The man you’re so proud of isn’t exactly something I’d fight to keep.”
A few people nearby exchanged uncomfortable glances. Someone actually coughed. Julian’s face hardened. I felt his body tense beside me.
Camila looked directly at me. “Didn’t what happened at the mall teach you anything?” My cheeks burned. She wasn’t going to bring that up here.
“You-” I stopped myself.
She smiled faintly. “I’d be careful if I were you.”
My fingers curled around Julian’s arm. “You think you’re better than me?”
She looked completely unbothered. “I just don’t need to compete with you.”
The words stung. I felt several eyes turn toward me. I refused to let her embarrass me in front of this crowd. “You’ve been chasing Julian for years!”
Camila actually laughed. “Chasing him?” She shook her head.
“He was my mate.”
My face heated. “I am his wife.”
“And I rejected him.” She looked at Julian briefly before turning back to me. “I already made my choice. Why would I chase a man I no longer want?”
A murmur moved through the guests. I could feel the attention shifting away from me. I hated it. I hated the way she stood there as though she had nothing to lose. As though she
was untouchable.
As though this entire room belonged to her.
My anger finally broke through. “Security!” The word rang across the ballroom. Several

people turned. I pointed toward Camila. “Get her out of here.” I raised my voice. “She has no business being at this dinner. Throw her out!”
The security men near the entrance began moving toward us.
I smiled. Finally, let’s see how confident she would be when she was escorted out in front of
everyone.
But Camila didn’t move. She simply stood there, holding her champagne glass, watching them approach.
