Love’s Fortune
Even some of our so-called friends started acting weird, like they believed Vladimir’s lies.
Then, one night, Arthur got an invitation to a big charity event. It was a fancy gala, and a lot of important people would be there. Arthur knew it was the perfect place for Vladimir to keep spreading his rumors.
“We have to go,” Arthur said firmly. “If we don’t, it’ll look like we’re hiding something. We need to show everyone that we’re still strong, that we’re still together.”
Even though the thought of facing all those people made me nervous, I knew Arthur was right. We couldn’t let Vladimir win. But deep down, I had a bad feeling about the whole thing.
