Yennifer woke up with a headache.

Not the kind that came from lack of sleep alone but the kind that came from crying until your body got tired of producing tears.

For several seconds, she stared at Chloe's ceiling;, completely still and just then everything came rushing back.

The dinner. H.r mother. Lily. Daniel. The Pre-engagement.

Yennifer shut her eyes. “No.” rolling over and pulling the pillow;over her face, she muttered, “No, no, no.”

She wasn't going to cry again. Absolutely not.

She had

    George froze.Yennifer's hand stilled against his chest the moment she felt him freeze up. Her fingers rested lightly over the hard fabric of his suit. She could feel the steady thud of his heartbeat beneath her palm, and somehow, that made her even more nervous.She slowly lifted her eyes to his. George was already watching her, but neither of them spoke.There was something different in his expression now. His usual guarded look had softened, just a tiny bit, but there was still something darker underneath it, something she couldn't quite place.His eyes seemed warmer than before, yet somehow more intense, and the longer she stared, the more aware she became of how close they stood.Yennifer's heart gave another hard thump. She should move her hand; she knew she should, but she didn't, or rather couldn't. She was hooked by his gaze.For a few seconds, the crowded ballroom seemed to disappear around them. The voices, the music, the clinking glasses and laughter all blurred into the b

    “Twenty million dollars.”For a moment, nobody moved. The ballroom went so quiet that Yennifer could hear the faint ringing in her ears. Twenty million?She stared at George as though he had suddenly grown another head. Twenty million dollars?He just gave away twenty million dollars for her? Well, technically, it was for the kidsHer mouth remained slightly open as a hundred thoughts raced through her mind at once. Twenty million dollars could solve so many of her problems. Bills, and fund her career.She could probably resign from Languard tomorrow and still have enough money to breathe for the rest of her life, though she wouldn't. But still, twenty million dollars?Yennifer blinked rapidly; that was insane, she thought. Across the ballroom, Eleanor looked just as stunned. For once, even she seemed to have forgotten how to speak.Then her lips slowly curved into the biggest smile, and she started clapping, the sound breaking the spell and sending the entire ballroom into applause,

    “Our first lady tonight is Miss Penelope Lancaster.”Penelope stepped forward. Her golden gown hugged every curve of her body like a glove, and the diamonds around her neck sparkled beneath the chandelier.The host smiled. “Miss Lancaster is an English heiress and philanthropist from one of London's most prominent families. She is the founder of the Lancaster Foundation, which supports women's education across Europe, and tonight she is wearing one of the most extraordinary pieces in our collection.”Penelope smiled sweetly, but her eyes remained fixed on George as the host continued.“This magnificent necklace contains over one hundred and fifty carats of diamonds and rare South African pearls. It was once worn by Queen Adelaide of England during one of her most celebrated royal appearances.”A murmur went through the crowd. “This piece has been preserved for generations and is estimated to be worth more than two million dollars.”The audience immediately reacted, then the host lifte

    “Are you sure about this, Lady Eleanor?”Eleanor looked at the woman standing beside her and raised one perfectly shaped eyebrow.The woman held a clipboard against her chest, her expression caught somewhere between confusion and concern.“We already have the ten names,” she continued, lowering her voice as though she were afraid someone might overhear them. “The list has been printed. It would be rather strange to cross out one of the names and replace it now.”Eleanor glanced toward the stage where the master of ceremonies was preparing for the auction.Then she looked back at the woman. “Mrs Yola, trust me on this.”The woman blinked, and Eleanor leaned closer.“We need money for these kids; we have a goal to meet, and you all pushed me to invite my grandson, right? So do you want him to bid or not?” Grandma asked the lady, who nodded so quickly before she continued,“It was hard to get my grandson to attend this event in the first place, but it'll be harder for him to participate

    By the time evening settled over Manhattan, the hotel hosting the charity gala had come alive.It was one of those grand Manhattan hotels that seemed designed to remind everyone who entered that they were standing somewhere important.Tall glass doors opened into a marble lobby glowing beneath enormous crystal chandeliers. Waiters moved quietly between elegantly dressed guests, carrying champagne and wine. Security stood discreetly along the walls while photographers gathered near the entrance, waiting for the night's most recognizable names.Inside the ballroom, round tables dressed in white linen filled the enormous space. Gold candlelight flickered from the centrepieces, while towering floral arrangements rose from crystal vases.At the far end of the room stood a beautifully decorated stage. Tonight's event was being held to raise funds for Silver Mercy School for Deaf Girls.And judging by the crowd, some of the wealthiest and most influential people in New York had come prepared

    George's phone vibrated against his desk. He glanced at it without much interest, expecting another reminder from his secretary or one of the countless messages that had been piling up since morning. His day had been nothing but meetings, contracts, phone calls, and decisions that somehow always seemed to require his attention immediately.But the moment he saw the name on the screen, Sam–Yennifer’s bodyguard, he quickly picked up his phoneGeorge opened the message immediately, and it read,“Good day, Sir. Your teammate, Mr Anthony Drew, is currently with Miss Yennifer”His fingers stopped moving across his laptop as he read the message again. His expression remained unchanged, giving nothing away, but the slight tightening of his jaw betrayed the irritation he refused to acknowledge.It was barely noticeable. The kind of reaction no one would have caught if they had been standing beside him. George leaned back in his chair, his gaze fixed on the message as he read it once moreAnth
