Eleanor didn't move, and neither did Violet. They stood by the edge of the moonlight, looking at each other with tension in their eyes. They were two women who were supposed to be together forever once upon a time. At least, that was what the Duchess thought.

“What kind of stupid question is this?” Violet said, and tried to tug her hand away from Eleanor’s tight grip. Eleanor didn’t let go of her; instead, she stepped closer until they were toe-to-toe. Violet could see the green hue of Eleanor

    Eleanor didn't move, and neither did Violet. They stood by the edge of the moonlight, looking at each other with tension in their eyes. They were two women who were supposed to be together forever once upon a time. At least, that was what the Duchess thought. “What kind of stupid question is this?” Violet said, and tried to tug her hand away from Eleanor’s tight grip. Eleanor didn’t let go of her; instead, she stepped closer until they were toe-to-toe. Violet could see the green hue of Eleanor’s sparkling eyes against the light. "Are you really getting married, Violet?" Eleanor murmured. “What does it matter to you?” Violet said, staring back at her. “You and I were over a long time ago.” “I did what I did because I had no other choice,” Eleanor defended. “There are always choices, Eleanor. You were just given one that was better than what I could offer you. But now, looking back, I don’t blame you. You would rather choose a safe, conventional life with a rich noble man than be

    As dusk settled over the horizon, Arthur ordered his staff to prepare a lavish dinner right on the deck for his special guests. The head chef and cabin crew arranged an elegantly decorated round table where everyone could dine outside while taking in the spectacular view of the sunset. A cool sea breeze drifted past, carrying with it the gentle, steady rhythm of the waves and the scent of sea salt. As the chef laid down the platters of food and whatnot, Arthur rose from his seat with his usual diner speech. “May I have the pleasure of serving you a once-in-a-lifetime dish, the Almas Beluga Caviar!” Arthur said proudly. “Actually, it’s one of my favorite guilty pleasures. It is quite hard to find these days, but for you, I did not give up, right, Chef Maria?” The beaming chef nodded at her young master. Though it was actually the chef who didn’t give up finding this delicacy for the night. Claire had no clue what it was. She looked blankly as they brought in the golden tins of littl

    The luxurious yacht anchored near a secluded beach, its shore ringed by pristine turquoise water and powdery white sand. Two speedboats were already waiting to ferry the guests ashore.“Ladies and gentlemen, may I ask those of you who wish to experience the shark dive to please come with me?” a dive instructor announced with a wide smile. “We’ll get you geared up and ready to experience one of the most breathtaking moments of your lives!”Claire started to leave, but Violet grabbed her elbow and held her back.“Where do you think you’re going?” the Duchess demanded.“To get changed for my first diving experience. Why?” Claire countered with a frown.“Are you serious right now?”“I never said I was kidding, Your Grace,” Claire replied. Before Violet could speak again, Florence appeared.“Ladies, you look tense. What’s going on?” she asked.“She wants to dive with the sharks!” Violet hissed. “Who would be responsible if she comes back missing a limb?”“Relax, Violet. Your bride-to-be is

    Once everyone had boarded the Starchaser, Captain Rodriguez led them on a brief tour of the yacht. Anywhere Claire looked, it felt like she was in a massive spaceship, with all the glossy interior, fancy lighting, and luxurious furniture. The Starchaser's sleek corridors gleamed with polished wood and soft lighting, a quiet testament to the opulence Arthur’s father had spared no expense to manifest.“We hope to make your stay an unforgettable experience,” the captain said after the tour. "Your luggage will be delivered to your rooms. Anything you need, don’t hesitate to let any of our crew know. They are under my command just as much as yours.”“Thank you, Cap,” Arthur replied. “Our lives are in your capable hands for the next two nights.”“My pleasure,” the captain said with a smile, offering a smart salute before shaking Arthur’s hand.Arthur turned back to his friends, his excitement palpable in the room. “Tonight’s special dinner will be on the deck. Chef Mariah’s marvelous creati

    Claire ended up getting a stylo, which she thought was among the other expensive accessories that didn’t seem too otherworldly expensive. But the pen ended up costing a whopping fifty thousand pounds. Claire was flabbergasted. Violet had to give her a look as if to say, “Wipe that damn expression off your face right now!” when the sales clerk announced the price.“Can I not take it anymore?” Claire asked Violet in a soft whisper. She had never thought that such a simple fountain pen could cost more than her annual income.“Don’t be bloody ridiculous,” Violet said in a low voice. “Just get it and leave.”“Okay, but I like ordinary, normal-functioning, and somewhat pretty-looking pens,” Claire replied. “What would I do with a pen that is worth £50,000?”“I suppose you could write with it? Or throw it away. Either way, I don’t care,” Violet said with a bored look, as if they were just talking about a thrifted shirt they found at Goodwill.“Throw it away?” Claire hissed. “You’re out of yo

    Claire sensed them the moment she walked in. She could feel the air in the room shift. Violet looked as stoic as ever, yet her eyes seemed brighter than usual. Eleanor smiled sweetly at them, appearing as graceful and poised as she always had.“Violet, Claire might need some help to choose,” Florence announced, looking between her and the Duchess. “Would you be kind enough to come with her?”Violet was relieved by the request. She needed to be away from Eleanor. She couldn't stand another minute in the same space with her.“Of course,” Violet said without hesitation and came forward to take Claire’s hand. “Anything you fancy yet?”Claire cleared her throat, “I'm afraid not.”“Must be hard when you're picky, hmm? Perhaps, something extra special?” the Duchess said with a smile. “I wouldn’t want my fiancée walking around empty-handed, would I?”Claire felt a cringe creeping up her spine, but she tried to still herself. It was mind-blowingly unnatural hearing sweet tender words from some
