Luke shifted uncomfortably, and just as he was about to respond, I leaned in closer, speaking in a hushed tone that only we could hear, "Remember, this is all because of you.

No matter how upset or regretful he was, the truth was clear: he and I were never meant to be.

Luke paused, his mind likely drifting to the past and his actions toward me. His gaze darkened.

But those shortsighted elders never considered the long-term. They made Philippa lose her true love. leaving her to suffer all her life. Now, they were living of Bill's success.

Today, the Wilchers arrived, all dressed up, exuding an air of elegance.
