Chapter 9

The Parrish’s villa was still brightly lit.

Everyone in the villa was laughing happily.

The next morning, the bells pealed through the sky.

The wedding of Kyla and Antonio officially began.

My mom, Aileen Parrish, and my dad, Samuel Parrish, were beaming. There was a fresh rose adorning their tailored dress and suit.

Naomi was discussing with the bridesmaids where to hide the wedding shoes to make it hard for Antonio to find them.

Aileen looked around but didn’t see Grace.

Frowning, she asked Naomi, “Naomi, where’s Grace? The wedding is about to begin. Is she gonna be late for Kyla’s wedding? Where are her manners?”

Naomi replied, “Perhaps she doesn’t wanna see Antonio marry Kyla. You know she’s had a crush on him for years.”

Aileen became even more displeased.

“Rosalind, tell Grace to come out. If she’s not here, people may point fingers at us, especially Kyla, again.”

The servant, Rosalind Watkins, nodded. As she was about to leave, Naomi stopped her.
