Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Lena stood outside the door, her mind reeling. If they hadn't arrived, would those two have already done it?

She was livid! The thought was unbearable, her heart aching with envy and misery. As she clutched the homemade soup she had lovingly prepared, a shadow loomed in her eyes. Hattie moved forward as Josefina pushed Oliver away to stand beside her.

"Oh, Josie, I heard everything. Jaxon plotted against you... Why didn't you tell us? Your message said you were dining with friends and staying over, and I believed it. I feel like such a failure as a mother." Hattie was ridden with guilt, regretting not being there when her daughter needed her the most.

Garrett was also troubled, feeling a deep sense of remorse. "Sweetheart, those two have been dealt with. They tried to harm you, and I've made sure they'll spend the rest of their lives behind bars!"

At that moment, Josefina felt rather awkward, as if caught in a compromising situation. She hadn't actually sent Hattie a message about not coming home. That must have been Oliver's doing. Thankfully, she had deleted her chat history with those people, ensuring no secrets would be revealed.
