Rebellious Princess
"Everything is ready, boss. The venue, the catering, the band, the guests. The whole city is buzzing about the biggest event of the year."
My assistant sent me a flood of pictures of the venue, decorated exactly to Sera's taste.
It was all so perfect.
My heart swelled with a raw, fierce joy. I couldn't sleep a wink that night.
The next day, I pushed open the door to the waiting room, holding a bouquet of her favorite flowers and the ring box.
A figure in an elegant dress turned to face me.
My heart sank.
It was Karen, her neck adorned with the diamond necklace I had just paid a fortune for. The one I had told my assistant to give to Sera several days ago.
