The room had been abuzz with excitement as journalists and industry insiders waited eagerly for the unveiling of the new product but rather than get what they came here for, a piece of juicy news broke out with a scandal looming over them.
The tension had been palpable, but when Jace's words echoed throughout the room, announcing Kiera as his fiancée, it cut through the anticipation like a sharp knife.
Silence reigned almost immediately as all eyes remained fixed on Kiera, waiting to be sure what he said was true.
The weight of the revelation made the room grow heavy, and for a few endless seconds, everyone was frozen that even if a pin should fall, it was sure to make noise.
A wave of astonishment and disbelief swept the audience as the clock ticked. No one had expected such a twist. From being one of the well-sort rich and handsome bachelors, Jace got into a relationship and after that is entangled in an engagement with none other than Kiera Campbell, Nicholas' ex-wife.
