[ RUE BENNETT'S V.O.]

YOU EVER MEET SOMEONE who's got everything on the outside but nothing where it counts? That's Brett Evans. A kid born into so much money he doesn't even know how to spend it all, but the kind of loneliness that doesn't come with a price tag. His dad? The guy's a Wall Street legend—or at least he used to be before the alcohol turned him into a walking disaster. And when he wasn't too drunk to stand, he'd remind Brett exactly where he fell short. A slap here, a shove there, the kind of stuff Brett learned to hide under long sleeves and forced smiles. His mom wasn't much better—always away, always "busy." So yeah, Brett had everything, but at the same time, he had nothing.

And when you grow up like that, you get good at pretending. Brett was the king of it. Parties, drugs, girls—it wasn't about fun; it was about forgetting. He'd pop a pill, take a shot, and chase that high just to escape the weight of it all. And maybe that's why he fell for Maddy Perez. Because the first time he really saw her, it wasn't just about her looks—which, let's be honest, were enough to stop time—it was about the way she owned the room. Confident, sharp, untouchable. She wasn't the kind of girl you saved; she was the kind of girl who made you want to be saved by her.

IT HAPPENED AT SOME PARTY. One of those nights where the music was too loud and the air was thick with smoke and sweat. Brett was halfway through a line in the back room when Maddy walked in, draped on Nate's arm like she belonged there. And maybe she did. But the way she laughed, the way her smile lit up even the darkest corners, it made Brett freeze. In that moment, she wasn't just another pretty face. She was Maddy. She wasn't just beautiful. She was chaos, confidence, and charm wrapped up in one devastatingly irresistible package. Brett didn't just want her. He needed her. The way she walked, the way she spoke, the way she could cut someone down with a single glance—it was intoxicating. She made him feel alive in a way that nothing else ever had. But Maddy wasn't his. She was Nate's. And Nate was the kind of guy who didn't just have Maddy; he owned her. The two of them were toxic as hell, but Brett could see something no one else seemed to: Maddy deserved better. She deserved him.

The thing is, Brett wasn't the jealous type...until he met Maddy. Seeing her with Nate, seeing the way she laughed at his stupid jokes or leaned into his shoulder—it felt like someone took a blade and twisted it in his chest. But what could he do? Maddy wasn't the kind of girl you just walked up to and claimed. She was like a storm, beautiful and unpredictable, and she'd destroy anyone who didn't know how to handle her. Brett was willing to give her everything, every piece of himself, but he was smart enough to know it would probably never be enough.

SO, BRETT DID what Brett always did. He drowned himself in distractions. More parties. More pills. More meaningless hookups with people who looked like Maddy but never quite were her. And every time he looked at her, laughing with Nate or flipping her hair over her shoulder, he felt that familiar emptiness clawing at him again. Because for all the money, all the power, all the freedom in the world, the one thing Brett Evans couldn't have was the one thing he wanted the most.
