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.

I warned him softly, "Don't look at me like that. Are you trying to make me die again?"

But none of this was anything but the result of his own choices.

He had worked his way up from an ordinary young man to the man he was now. If only Philippa had married him, and if the Wilchers had invested in him back then, their lives would have been so much better now. They would have avoided so many unnecessary struggles.

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.
