She was controlling herself to not lose her temper. I glanced coldly at Kaitlyn. “Look at the trashy man that you tried so hard to snatch from me. To be honest, I should be thanking you.

she said, pulling away from the hug. "Tell me the truth, Sheila. How did Ms Kate have a change of mind? How did she end up giving you the book?" Louisa inquired in curiosity, a tone of amazement. "I am pretty sure she was headstrong, and hard to convince." "I tell ye my friend, I didn't change 'er mind nor did she want to give me the book. I used my charms on 'er by making 'er mind.

“Things are changing, whether you accept it or not. Soon, we will be witnessing a civil war, and my proposal is the only thing that could stop it.” There was something persuasive in his tone, that for a second I started to think about the proposal, and what changes I could introduce to turn it on my favour. But then I realised how stupid that thought was, and how I was just serving myself to him on a silver plate. The manipulation was impactful because of how he sounded. There was no force or demand in his voice, only the softness of someone who needed your help.

I rose slowly from the bed despite the protest of my body. “You’re asking me to trust you,” I said. “I’m offering you survival.” “You’re offering me a bargain built on blood.” “All bargains are.” I stepped closer until we were only a few feet apart. “You’re his wife,” I said. “Why not influence him instead?” Her jaw tightened — the first real crack I’d seen. “Kailen doesn’t respond to soft persuasion,” she said. “He responds to leverage.” “And I’m yours?” “If you’re smart.”

"What we need to do now is to figure out how tomorrow is going to be. Everyone is ready. We have to be ready too. Virginia, you have to be strong. Pretend that you are actually going to follow him and have accepted to dump us for him. It would convince him more to take things easy if you, in the first instant of meeting him, run to him, kiss him and beg him to return your daughter to us. With that kiss, he will be more convinced and won't suspect any fowl play." Deacon said.

“You didn’t flinch too hard. That’s good. Fear is normal—but panic? That gets women like you eaten alive.” I stared at her, stunned, my pulse thundering in my ears. Sylvia slipped the hairpin back into her updo with an elegance that was different from the threat she had just delivered just a second ago. Her fingers were stable—too stable like she’d done this many times before. Like testing a new bride with a sharp object near her eye was just another tradition passed down with heirloom jewelry. She reached into her clutch and pulled out a small, leather-bound book—cream-colored, the title embossed in soft gold script—The Perfect Wife: Grace in the Eyes of Society.

Whatever it was, I was determined to be a good friend and listen. I tried to brush her off, telling her I was busy, but Tiffany wouldn't let up. She kept pleading and persuading me, her words dripping with an urgency that was hard to resist. I found myself weakening with each passing moment, my resolve crumbling under the weight of her persistence. The persuasive Tiffany wouldn't just stop pleading, so I just had to agree.

You know, marriage is not easy. Don't worry though your son is good with me. So there's no reason for me to reject him in the future." There's a lot to worry about. Did you think I would buy that? To continue, I need to keep acting stupid so you'll buy it instead. Hmm... Is that how reverse psychology works? Yeah, that's how it is.

Thought he was angry at me all this while, since he never smiled at me, but just as he heard about sex, his mood changed! "Don't keep your hopes too high darling, I will not have s** with someone like you, we are going home now." He said and I don't know why I really felt broken by what he said. Am I that bad? Maybe I'm not like his friend 'Penelope.' I will make sure he begs me to sleep with him, for now I need to earn in trust and I think I'm going to follow Susan's advice by seducing him. "What did Penelope say to you at the event." He asked after few minutes of silence.
