Chapter 18


Allison felt calm. She knew Kate sent that video to stake her claim and try to embarrass her, hoping she'd see the truth and dump Shawn. And that was exactly Kate's plan. She imagined Allison watching the video, breaking down in tears, breaking up with Shawn, and heading back home in shame. But little did Kate know that the words in that video didn't faze Allison.

In the video, Shawn was busy whispering sweet nothings to Kate, which just made Allison feel queasy, so she clicked away without watching more. Her fingers danced over her phone as she typed out a message: [I'm really not in the same league as you guys.]

Kate saw the message, smirked, and quickly replied using Shawn's account: [At least you know your place.]

Allison chuckled. The Reynolds Group was a small fry compared to even one of her family's subsidiaries. Their annual profits were peanuts compared to the investments her father casually tossed around. The Owens family had been in business for four generations, and when Allison was born, they were among the top ten wealthiest in the country. She really wasn't in the same league as a run-of-the-mill rich kid like Shawn.

No one had a clue that Allison was the daughter of Javier Owens.

This little drama didn't put a dent in Allison's mood. It's a rare day off, so she lounged around, scrolling through high-end fashion websites, picking out dresses for her engagement. After a long search, she was torn between three stunning gowns.

The first was a modern twist on a traditional ballgown, in champagne, with delicate pink embroidery and scattered rhinestones. Three strands of tiny pearls draped elegantly from the neckline over the arm and down the back. It was dazzling and sweet, perfect for a cute vibe.
