Chapter 161

• Bridget walked out of the room, feeling like a different person. Gone was the scared, timid girl. In her place stood a confident, poised woman who knew what she wanted and wasn't afraid to go after it. She walked through the house with her head held high, her heels clicking on the hardwood floor. She felt a sense of power coursing through her veins, and she knew that tonight, she would take control of her own destiny.
• Elena then wore a necklace around Bridget's neck to complete her rich look. The necklace was made of a delicate gold chain, with a sparkling diamond pendant hanging from it. The pendant rested just below Bridget's collarbone, and it glinted in the light. It was a simple piece, but it somehow made Bridget feel like a million bucks. She looked at Elena, a grateful smile on her face.
• "Thank you," she said, her voice full of emotion.
