Since she was not planning to hand the evidence over to the police, Rudolf guessed that she might want to do something dangerous.  However, it was not his place to probe into her personal matters so he didn't ask further. "I'll leave it to you then. You know that you can seek me for anything." She inwardly groaned. How many times had she heard those words? How many of the people who said them at every turn actually meant what they were saying? She chose not to respond to any of it. ___Cora showed up soon after Gemma sent her an email. The latter had proposed to meet her at a hotel two days later but instead, Cora went to Gem Bliss the following day.The company was in an uproar as soon as the employees saw her. While the CEO was too terrifying for them to have the courage to ask anything, it was easier to approach Cora who had been revealed to be Gemma's close friend. "Miss Cora, is it true that the fire was caus

She was taken aback. What had she said to piss him off? She contemplated following him but changed her mind after a few seconds. He would only send her away and heaven knew that her presence might anger him all the more. She dried her hair and picked up a book from the nightstand to read idly as she waited for him. The minutes passed agonisingly and felt like hours. She kept checking the time and each time, she would find out that only a few minutes had elapsed. She couldn't take it anymore. She couldn't fall asleep when she climbed onto the bed so she pushed the covers off and slid out of bed. She checked the study and library and couldn't find him, so she checked the theatre. He wasn't there either. "Maybe he decided to sleep in one of the guest rooms?" She thought aloud and checked every room, feeling sadder each time she found and empty room. Where could he have gone? He definitely didn't leave the compound. Wait. What if he did, but didn't take

"Why don't we think about that later, my love? We can do something more interesting and forget about it for a moment." He helped her up. She remembered that they had meant to watch a movie before they went to her parents' mansion so she thought it would be a great distraction. Nothing was more captivating than an interesting movie or book. She followed him upstairs, determined to get it off her mind for a while. He had already set up the theater and all she needed to do was sit down, choose the movie she wanted to watch and enjoy it, but that in itself felt like a task. Her butt felt like it was on fire and she couldn't make it stop shifting. Glancing at her, he carried her onto his lap and wrapped his arms around her to trap her. "Does that feel better?" He asked. "It does." She rested her head against his chest as the opening credits rolled. She was unsure when she fell asleep but when she woke up, they w

"You are out of your mind." Cora sipped her fruit juice which she claimed to have blended herself using the fruits that she picked from the trees in her compound. "That's not an answer." Gemma pushed. Cora remained silent for so long that Gemma was on the verge of giving up. "No. I'm not your sister." She finally answered, her voice a mixture of pain and disdain. What was wrong with them being sisters? Gemma wondered. Did the Arnaud family hurt her so much that she hated everything to do with them? She changed her approach, deciding not to sound pushy about it. "All I want to know is why you hate me so much." "If you were in my shoes, would you love you?" Cora swallowed bitterly. "Your parents caused my mother's death." Gemma was taken aback. She was not sure what she had expected to hear but it was definitely not that. She wondered whether Cora would be willing to share more details. She tapped her finger against her th

Changing the wedding venue didn't take much. They contacted the planner and since it was a small wedding, they were not required to pay any extra cost. Within two days, a truck arrived with everything that was needed for the wedding, except the flowers and the cake. Those would be brought over on the morning of the big day. Gemma thanked Alicia, the planner, when she dropped by to make sure everything was in order. "Thank you. We were worried it would be impossible to change the venue when the initial one was decided on such short notice as well." She admitted. Alicia offered a kind smile. "Don't worry. Weddings are my favorite thing ever and it's my dream to make sure every couple gets what they want." "Do they always get what they want, though?" She asked through a slight chuckle. She had never known what it was like to plan a wedding, since her first one was given to an agency she didn't even want, while the second and third were done
