Chapter 20 Secrets

• Alan
• No one has ever played on my nerves so skillfully. At first, I was beside myself with excitement, just from kissing that stubborn girl, and the next second I was afraid of losing my last leverage over Zoya. I've never had such trouble charming girls in the past. What's wrong with her? How can I approach her? It's clear as day now " I need to take things slow and gradually, drawing her into my web until there's no turning back. Threats definitely won't work on her, and thankfully this little one came to her senses at the last moment and stayed silent. Not that revealing our secret would affect my intentions in any way, but we don't need any extra variables in the equation."
• At night, I gave the bride a gift that I had prepared for her in advance, and when I saw what my assistant had prepared for Zoya, I immediately decided to rectify the situation and rushed into the city. Valeri was over the moon with happiness when she opened the box of jewelry, and I really wanted to see the same sparkle in her sister's eyes.
