As they got ready, Bella couldn't help but feel a mix of excitement and apprehension.Lily, always the fashion-forward one, picked out a stylish outfit that perfectly reflected her playful and outgoing personality. She chose a form-fitting black dress with a plunging neckline, accentuating her vivacious confidence.

She wore a simple but classy cocktail dress in a deep shade of midnight blue, which complemented her fair complexion and brought out the color of her eyes.

After the exhausting hours of flying, Bella's heart swelled as she stepped through the familiar front door of her family's grandiose mansion. Lupe, the family's long-time housekeeper and the closest thing to a mother figure she'd ever had, greeted her with a genuine, affectionate smile. Bella had missed Lupe dearly."Lupe, it's so good to see you again," Bella said, embracing the older woman."Oh, mi niña," Lupe replied, hugging Bella tightly. "You've grown so much. We've all missed you."As Bella pulled away from the hug, she asked, "Where are my parents? I thought they'd be around."Lupe's expression soured slightly. "Your father is still at the office. He said he would be home late again tonight. And your mother, well... you know how she is. She's away running some errands or on another shopping spree or spa, as usual."Bella sighed, feeling a mix of disappointment and familiarity. Her parents' perpetual absence was something she had grown used to. In a way, it was what had driven

In the dimly lit room, their eyes locked, and Bella felt a surge of emotions, making her breath catch.Reid, ever cold, composed and enigmatic, looked at her with a curiosity that mirrored her own. For a moment, they stood there in silence, the air between them thick with unspoken words.

"Reid," she began, her voice trembling ever so slightly, "there's something I need to tell you, something I've been holding back for a long time."Reid's expression remained unreadable, but he nodded for her to continue, urging her to spea

She knew she had to talk to her best friend, but her voice was still raw from all the crying the night before. Bella couldn't find it in herself to answer just yet. She simply let the call go to voicemail, not having the strength to explain her emotions.After a few minutes, her phone pinged with a new message. It was from Lily. Bella picked up her phone to see what her best friend had to say.The message simply read, "Are you okay?" Bella stared at those words for a moment.She wasn't sure how to respond. "Okay" felt like a distant and unattainable concept right now. She finally managed to type out a response, her fingers shaking, "Not okay."Lily replied almost instantly, "I'm on my way." Bella knew her friend would come running to her side, as she always did in times of need. She didn't respond to Lily's message but was grateful for the u
