"Okay," Caelum nodded kindly, waiting until Sandy had run off before his expression darkened.

"Sir, it seems Ms. Vanessa has decided to get engaged to Odie. Quite a few people have already received their invitations. Miss Sandy clearly doesn't know yet..."

"Don't let her find out," Caelum said, displeasure evident in his voice. "I used to think Vanessa was a decent girl, but who knew she'd pull something like this? Sandy may be a bit spoiled, but she values her relationships deeply. Finding out her close friend is getting together with her ex-fiancé would really hurt her."

"Understood, sir. I'll make sure the news doesn't reach Miss Sandy."

Across the room, James watched the scene unfold, his expression growing more somber by the minute.

Beside him, Angelo peeked through the door crack, asking, "What's got you so lost in thought?"

"Nothing."

James returned to the couch, and Angelo said, "Let me tell you, my sister, when she makes a move, even the ghosts and spirits fear her! Your grandmother wouldn't be able to handle it. She'd be rushing back to Devonport by nightfall."

"I'm not worried about that."

"Then what are you worried about?"
