As they drove away from Anne's parents' house, Chris turned to Anne with a skeptical expression. "So, the pregnancy thing...that was just a lie, right?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.Anne nodded, a mischievous grin spreading across her face. "Of course it was," she said. "We've only been together twice, and it's not like I planned it or anything."Chris chuckled and shook his head. "You're something else, Anne," he said.Anne's expression turned serious, and she reached out to take Chris's hand. "I know I didn't think this through before, but after being with you, I know I made the right choice," she said, her voice filled with conviction.Chris smiled and squeezed her hand, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Anne. She was willing to do whatever it took to be with him, and he appreciated that."I'm glad you feel that way," Chris said, looking at Anne with affection. "And I promise you, I'll do everything in my power to make you happy."Anne's face lit up with a bright smile, and she

Since her first kiss with Julian, Tris felt her heart slowly healing. The pain of Chris's betrayal still lingered, but with Julian by her side, she felt a sense of happiness she hadn't felt in a long time.Tris walked out of her room, a smile on her face, expecting to see Julian already seated at the breakfast table with her father. But to her surprise, only Ed was there, sipping his coffee and reading the newspaper."Good morning, sweetie," Ed said, looking up from his paper. "Sleep well?"Tris nodded, feeling a bit disappointed that Julian wasn't there. "Yeah, I did," she replied, taking a seat next to Ed. "Where's Julian?"Ed shrugged, his expression neutral. "I'm not sure," he said. "He didn't come for breakfast. Maybe he's still sleeping."Tris raised an eyebrow, feeling a pang of worry. Julian was usually an early riser, and it was unlike him to sleep in. She wondered if everything was okay.Tris waited and waited for Julian to arrive, but as the day wore on, she began to feel a

As the car pulled up to the entrance of the grand casino, Tris's eyes widened in amazement. She had been here before, but only when she was a little girl, and she barely remembered it. Now, as she gazed up at the towering structure, she felt like she was seeing it for the first time.The casino's facade was a dazzling display of lights and colors, with giant screens and neon signs that seemed to stretch on forever. The sound of music and laughter spilled out onto the sidewalk, mingling with the hum of traffic and the chatter of passersby.Tris felt a thrill of excitement as she stepped out of the car, her eyes drinking in the sights and sounds of the bustling casino. She had always known that her father was a wealthy and influential man, but seeing his casino up close like this was a reminder of just how powerful and successful he really was.As she stood there, taking it all in, Julian appeared at her side, his hand reaching out to rest on the small of her back. Tris felt a jolt of s

Tris busied herself in the kitchen, whipping up a simple breakfast of scrambled eggs and toast. Julian sat at the dining table, watching her with a mixture of amusement and curiosity.As Tris worked, Julian couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement. It wasn't just the prospect of eating a home-cooked meal that had him eager, but the fact that Tris was making such an effort to apologize and make amends.When Tris finally emerged from the kitchen with a tray laden with food, Julian's eyes widened in surprise. "Wow, you didn't have to go to so much trouble," he said, feeling a little guilty for not expecting such a thoughtful gesture.Tris smiled and set the tray down in front of Julian. "I wanted to," she said, her eyes shining with sincerity. "I wanted to show you that I'm sorry, and that I'm committed to making things right between us."Julian's heart swelled with emotion as he looked at Tris. He had been prepared for her to simply apologize and move on, but instead, she was going

Anne stepped out of the taxi and onto the familiar driveway of her childhood home. She hadn't been back here in months, not since she'd married Chris and moved away. But now, she'd had enough of the poverty and struggle that came with being married to him.As she walked towards the front door, Anne couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over her. She was finally leaving behind the life that had been suffocating her. Chris had promised her the world, but in the end, he'd delivered nothing but debt and disappointment.Anne's father, Andrew, had warned her about Chris from the very beginning. He'd told her that Chris was no good, that he was a lazy, good-for-nothing man who would never amount to anything. But Anne had been blinded by love, or so she'd thought.Now, as she looked back on her marriage, Anne realized that she'd never truly loved Chris. She'd been infatuated with the idea of being in love, but she'd never actually felt it. And Chris, for his part, had never loved her
