A steward brings me a flute of champagne on a silver tray. I raise the glass into the air.

"You should never drink alone," a deep, sexy voice says as a strong arm snakes around my waist, pulling me back up against a muscular chest and swaying with me. "What are we drinking to?"

I turn my head and smile at him. "Montrovia."

He clinks my glass with his. "To Montrovia."

After we take a sip, I turn to face him. "Daniel, are you crashing my party?"

He flashes both of his dimples at me and says, "Baby, I am your party."

EPILOGUE

Terrance is in the facility underground the Montrovian villa. With the Prince safe, he can finally focus some energy on figuring out what is on the disc Huntley gave him.

With a computer he built himself that purposely has no internet connection, he pulls up the file's content list.

He clicks on numerous files, but each one is encrypted.

He spends a few hours trying to hack his way through, but he can't unlock the code.

So he tries a different approach, pulling up the list again.

This time, he finds a single unencrypted file.

It's probably just junk.

He doesn't really expect to find anything worthwhile when he clicks on it.

But as a picture populates the screen, he squints his eyes.

He double checks the source of the file twice, making sure he didn't accidentally pull the photo off the computer's hard drive.

Because he's seen this before.

He looks up at the wall across from him, where Ari has photos haphazardly hung all over, and spots it.

He carries his computer over to the wall.

The photo Ari put up of the proposed Terra Project city is nearly identical to the one contained in the locket.

How in the world could Ophelia's plan to end the monarchy in Montrovia have anything to do with Huntley's mother's death in America eight years ago?
