Perhaps it began as sympathy, but it’s obvious that your feelings for Lucian have grown,” she continued.“And it’s not a negative thing, Anne,” added Gemma. “Love is a lovely and common feeling. Furthermore, we have observed the closeness between you two. There is definitely a special connection between the two of you,” she concluded.When Anne realized that her friends’ statements were accurate, she was forced to consider her developing feelings for Lucian. She had witnessed his frailty, held him during nightmares, and had private moments with him. It was becoming more and more obvious that her heart was opening up to him in unexpected ways.“I… I suppose you could be possibly right,” Anne said, her cheeks beginning to flush.“So, when are you going to tell him how you feel?” Daisy asked with a cheeky grin.In fear, Anne’s eyes widened.“Tel

Anne asked, looking at the dolled up lady. Amelia gave Anne a critical glance as she shifted her attention to her. "She must be the wife. I heard that you finally got married. Before that, I heard you randomly graced your bed with several women. I couldn't believe it when I heard about your wedding. I thought it was a lie but I

Author’s POVAnne answered the call.“Put the phone on loud speaker,” Gemma said.Anne did as she was told. She placed the phone on the table so they would all hear the caller“Aww Anny-bear, are you sad your Bulldogs won’t be around to beat me up?” Amelia mocked over the phone.“Bitch, you’re so lucky,” Daisy said.“Oh please shut up. Anyways, Anne, I called to let you know that I won’t let Lucian go. Rather you’ll leave him for me. Bye girl.”Anne’s mind raced with the implications of Amelia’s foreboding remarks as the connection was abruptly cut off by her frightening finality.As the call came to an end, Anne felt the room encircle her. Her mind was racing with wrath, fear, and bewilderment. Gemma stared into her eyes intently, waiting for an answer.Daisy hit the table with her palm as her rage flared. “Anne, this is insane!

Their discussions became more serious as they traded strategies and inside information, keeping their voices low.One night, in the soft glow of a streetlight, David murmured, “I’ve managed to get my hands on some sensitive financial documents. These will reveal areas of Lucian’s company that we can take advantage of.”Amelia’s eyes sparkled with eagerness. “Great work, David. With this knowledge, we can begin to undermine his hegemony. But keep in mind that we must be tactful. He shouldn’t have any suspicion before we even have the chance to carry out our plans.”David agreed by nodding.“I’ve already noted some important places where we may exert pressure. He won’t take long to begin feeling the pressure.”“Good,” Amelia said.“So when do we carry out our plans, Amelia. I’m growing impatient,” David said.“Be calm my dear David. We shall carry out

Author’s POVGemma and the girls exchanged looks that made Anne confused. Their smiles even made things more suspicious and confusing.“What’s going on here?

TO WHO? She asked excitedly.“So you remember this dude, Kevin whom I went on a date with, we hit it off and we started seeing each other. He’s been a good guy and I just can’t stop loving him. He proposed yesterday night while we were at my apartment,” Gemma said.The smile on Anne’s face faded, causing the girls to wonder why. “Didn’t you just meet that guy? Don’t you think you guys are rushing things?” She asked.“Rushing things? How? We both love each other and are ready to commit to each other for a long time so what’s the rush about that?” Gemma said.“I mean, you’ve only been together for some weeks. I think you should get to kn
