Yet, would Patrick be able to lower his guard if I deleted the video from just my phone?Moreover, if I truly wanted to ruin Edith, I could easily have someone recover the deleted video.But, I supposed I would oblige them if they wanted me to do something so meaningless.I pretended to seem very troubled, nodding after a moment of contemplation. "Okay, I'll delete the video, but only because you're the one asking."I pulled out my phone, found the video, and deleted it in front of him. "Are we done?""Have you made any copies of that video?" Patrick asked.I opened my Cloud and deleted all the evidence I had on her. "All gone."Patrick nodded and smiled. "Thank you."I put my phone away and said politely, "I'll be off then.""Wait!" Patrick suddenly called out to me."Is there something else?""Taylor… Do you think you could visit Edward on my behalf?" he asked. "He's unconscious after being intoxicated, and we went through a lot of trouble to find him the blood he needed.

With a smile, I confidently said, "I've got a signed loan agreement for the amount, which is admissible in court. So, I don't mind if she pays me back or not. I just need this document to have her dancing to my tune."Jean understood where I was going with that and gave me a thumbs-up while laughing.Amanda said, "I thought you'd be enjoying your life as a newlywed and living happily ever after, but instead, you're living every day with such excitement.""Yeap, I wasn't expecting so much 'excitement' myself."My life had been so full of surprises and challenges that excitement seemed to follow me wherever I went.Jean smiled. "But the silver lining in all of this is that you wouldn't have met Soren if you hadn't married Edward, would you?"He's so infatuated with you that I'm sure you've got a very bright future ahead."The moment Soren was mentioned, my lips curled uncontrollably, and I could tell that they noticed."Look! She's already smiling like a little girl the moment we

It was 5:00 p.m., and I finally had a moment to check the message Jean had sent me.I was pleasantly surprised to see it was a video of Soleil. She and her musicians were flash-busking on the streets of Berrada—first playing lively fiddles on a violin before sitting down to perform the harp with flawless elegance.I was stunned—she transitioned so effortlessly from the folksy, merry playfulness of the violin to the refined, evocative, almost heavenly bliss of the harp. But one of the reasons it worked so well was the dress I made for her.Yes, the fusion dress blending Rococo and modern elements perfectly suited her performances. Crowds gathered around, drawn not only by her musical talent but also by the dress.The video had gone viral. Compliments flooded every comment section, regardless of the platform. People praised Soleil and her dress in equal measure.I had already watched the video at least five times, and each time, I became more and more moved.Without thinking, I imm

Soren still remembered that? Uh-oh… Was he really that jealous of it?Soren seemed to have read my mind because he flashed me a knowing grin. "Oh, you bet I remember you praising that man to high heavens."My cheeks turned red, and I looked away.He didn't press the issue. "So, whose car? I'm fine with either."It took me a moment, but then I recalled the problem."My car… Uh, it's… busted," I explained, feeling embarrassed. "It won't start. I was about to call a repair shop when you called.""Oh? So I swooped in at just the right time!" he replied with a smile.He did.Soren waved at his driver, who immediately got out of the car. "Miss Jones' car is having some issues. Please help her with it."He tilted his chin toward me. "Keys, please.""Um, you don't have to—" I began hesitantly."It's alright, Miss Jones. I'll wait for the repair shop with your car," the driver said kindly, extending his hand.I dropped my keys into his palm.Soren put his arm around my shoulder and

I had no time to hide.Soleil spotted me and shouted, "I see you, Taylor! O-M-G, you guys are dating! I gotcha red-handed!"I was speechless.Soren must've realized there was no reason to keep me hidden anymore. He aimed the camera at me.I waved at Soleil. "Yo, Sol. Do you have any idea just how viral you've gone? You've got mad skills on the violin and harp!"Sure, my real intention was to change the subject, but Soleil wasn't about to let that slide."So, the two of you decided to get together as soon as I wasn't around! What did he do to make you say yes?" she questioned."No, this isn't what you think!" I protested awkwardly. "We're just having dinner together!""As if I'll believe you!""Ask your brother, then!" I replied."Ren, is she telling the truth, or is this a lie?! Are the two of you still stuck in the hell of ambiguity?!" she demanded.Soren smiled and sighed loudly. "Well, I don't think so, but it really depends on what Taylor thinks. If she says it's not, so
