Anya thought about the MacMillans. They had abused her and her mother and put the both of them through hell. But there was no point in getting mad at them. That hurt nobody but herself. She was the only one who suffered for her anger.

It wasn’t worth it. Anya wasn’t going to let her grandmother’s unexpected and hostile visit that morning distract her from what was important.

Her job today was to make sure that the pearls and rhinestones were sewn onto the dress.

She spoke to the tailor in charge of getting the bridal gown ready. After that, she sent a text to Lola. “Ms. Mars, the bridal gown will be ready today. I’ll send you a photo once it’s done.”
