Tabitha's POVThe atmosphere was a bit awkward. Kelsey took a deep breath and shot back, "You said you'd marry me, but all of a sudden, you married someone else. When did that even happen? Why didn't you tell me about it?"Her words left me bewildered. I turned my head to Derek, wanting an explanation.The tension in the air was almost palpable.Derek's gaze turned icy as he shot daggers at Kelsey. "Miss Arnold, we're neither friends nor relatives.

Why bother morally coercing a minor actress here?""Exactly. I thought she and Mr. Greenwood made a charming couple on stage, but now she doesn't seem so impressive. Our earnings as actresses aren't easy to come by. Such gowns are hard to borrow in the first place, and now that it's stained, it's ruined.
