The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Back in the day, Julie was a sight to behold, a woman of unparalleled beauty and talent.

Her daughter, Brittany, was every bit her equal in grace and skill. It was a pity he met her too late. Had he known her sooner, he could've guided Brittany onto a professional path, potentially unveiling a new star in the world of chess! The victory party was held at a clubhouse not far from the competition venue.

The Welandia delegation attended the celebration as well, and upon learning that Brittany had triumphed for Craneville, the queen herself congratulated her. "Bri, you were fantastic."

The queen didn't insist, instead, she asked, "Now that you and Eltham are engaged, have you thought about moving in together?"

Brittany froze.

Eltham had been hoping for more time together to foster their relationship, given Brittany's lukewarm feelings towards him.
