Chapter 25 Innuendo

• The party Camila had organized was going to be grand. She was known for turning her events into lavish affairs, where the most important members of her social circle made an appearance. No one ever missed them.
• Because of that, Daniel was well aware that he and Deanna would be the center of attention. Everyone would want to see his new wife and find out if any of the circulating rumors were true. Deanna wasn't nervous, but she was worried. Trying to fit in, ensuring her husband's image remained untarnished and free from criticism, weighed heavily on her. She had never imagined that meeting these expectations could be a full-time job.
• The endless introductions dragged on, but Daniel never left her side. He held her hand or rested his hand on her waist-a clear display of support and pride. He was proud to show her off. And, in his mind, it also served as a territorial warning to other men. It was a primal instinct, a way of marking what was his. Deanna, young, beautiful, intelligent, and sweet, naturally drew attention.
