Chapter 64 Unwelcome Company

• Engagement day had arrived, and the house was abuzz with preparations. Amidst the flurry of activity, Eve hadn’t seen her father. Not that it was unusual—he had been in the hospital for over a year now. Her grandmother had repeatedly urged her to visit, but Eve had been too busy, juggling her work and the growing responsibilities that came with her life.
• For the past three days, Eve had been immersed in work, spending long hours at her office. Her grandmother, though equally busy with preparations, had made time to care for her only son. The contrast between them weighed on Eve, though she tried not to dwell on it.
• Meanwhile, Kelly, handling the majority of Eve’s underworld affairs, kept her updated on the escalating tensions. The entire mafian country had united against the Russians, a rare but calculated move.
