Chapter 114

• The girls and Alayna’s mother are already outside when I arrive at the spa. I’m just in time. We will meet a fashion designer for the ball on Sunday, and we basically have two days left. The preparation time is brief, but it’s much better than waiting for days. I can’t wait to be officially engaged to the love of my life.
• However, to my confusion, as I look from a distance, Alayna’s sister’s eyes and cheek are burning red. Cassius’s Aston Martin is parked in front of the building as well. My cousin gets off his and approaches Casey first. It’s as though she is explaining something to him, and Cassius seems furious by the look on his face.
• Suddenly, Cassius catches Arianna in his arms, cradling her, and she cries on his shirt. He speaks with Alayna and Elizabeth, then takes her to his car. I cross the road, and my fiancée’s face meets my gaze.
