Chapter 42 I Can't Breathe

• Milena's POV
• Thumping. Heavy pounding. That's the sound coming from my chest as I approach the auditorium. The voluptuous hall that's filled with over five hundred people. Some of them I recognize but others had to introduce themselves and the rest I doubt they're acquaintances maybe relatives to the Connors.
• Specifically speaking I don't see a need for an engagement party. I suppose it's Connor's tradition. Orchestra music was going on in the background while I walked toward my Dad trying to ignore my throbbing heart.
