Was it possible that she had set a trap, lining up her pawns at the villa to ambush her? [Bitch, are you really that kind?] Listina's loathing for Carol ran deep. If it hadn't been for her, she and Felix would have already been married.

Carol, remaining silent, only sent a picture of Felix being sprawled out on the bed.

[Ctake care of him. Maybe you can take advantage of his drunken state to have a little fun with him. I've got to head out now, got simportant stuff to handle. Listina, I'm only giving you this one chance. Whether or not you can really snag Felix is up to you. By the way, you could do what you did tolast time—capture your little rendezvous in photos. That way, Felix will surely call off the wedding withand propose to you instead. Isn't that what you've always dreamed of?] Listina's eyes went wide as saucers. She couldn't believe that Carol was actually giving her a shot at Felix tonight.

[Fine, I'll be right there! And Carol, if you're playing me, I swear you'll regret it!] It was Felix's birthday, after all. She'd sent him so many messages tonight without a single reply. She hadn't expected him to be out cold, drunk.

Listina slipped into her most provocative dress and hurried over to the villa next door.

But when the door swung open, there was Carol, with her handbag in tow, looking like she was indeed heading out.

As if I'm you-someone he can't even stand to sleep with when it's handed to him on a plate. Just you wait. After tonight, he won't be able to live without me. I'll pull out all the stops to make him happy. Now get lost." Watching Listina's eager departure, Carol raised an eyebrow.

She didn't know why Felix had taken to the bottle tonight. Ever since the Millers' ordeal, he'd beccautious, rarely letting his guard down like this.
