The whole thing had been really messy.

Ruby's parents had "hired" Cassian - blackmailed him, really, with some information that helpfully landed in their laps - to help them consolidate their business. At first, he thought it meant shady backroom financial dealings.

It took him about a week to sort out what they meant for him to do was marry their daughter.

He likes Ruby is the thing. He likes her, and this was supposed to be his last job anyway, and even though they weren't married - he'd stalled with her parents, and he suspected that she had done the same - they were close. Well. Ruby was close to who Cassian was supposed to be.

No one was close to Cassian really, not anymore.

He'd gotten her out of her parent's house the day they were arrested. They spent time together. Like a date, kinda. The sort where you go back home and there are questions from the police and the FBI and no one asks Cassian anything which is probably pretty telling.

Actually he knows it is, when everyone is gone and Ruby won't even look him in the eye. He wants a drink. He doesn't want to be here. He wants to go home, and take Ruby with him and explain it all.

"I'm sorry," is what he starts with.

The Williams family often hosted overly extravagant galas to fund raise money they already had for foundations they didn't really care about and somehow, Ruby always ended up dragged along to keep up the facade that they were some happy family that actually spoke for more than a few minutes at dinner on a Sunday night, dressed up in a beautiful gown her mum had made just for her.

That was why she was at this stupid party, far too close to her heat and mingling with pervy alpha's who thought her being here at this point in time was all for them.

This was how she'd ended up cornered by an alpha she didn't know, faking a smile and trying to locate an escape route that wouldn't upset him or cause more disappointment with her parents.
