What's a wedding without a bride… and what's a bride without a dress? Kendall's phone rang on the counter where she was making breakfast with Alicia. They were meant to have a bowl of pasta, with lots of veggies, sliced beef, and sausage.Keeping to his word, Jason gave her part of the money immediately after they signed the agreement. Their wedding was in three weeks' time, and that was just a show-off for his parents and curious people.Left for Jason, he wanted a simple court wedding, but not when he had a mother like Catherine. "I'm going to miss you," Alicia pouted and blinked like she would cry. “Aww.” Kendall stopped slicing the veggies for a minute and turned to look at Alicia who was on the other side of the table, pulling our ingredients from the shelves. “Well, I'm going to my husband’s house, you should go to yours.”Alicia spun into laughter, spotting the joke from afar. She lost her balance and held onto the edge of the table for support. "I'll try not to bring a gr

“Do you think that this is a mistake?” Kendall’s voice was shaky as she held onto Alicia’s hands. “No, darling,” Alicia responded briefly and focused on arranging the pearls on the flowing white dress. It was already so perfect, but she wanted her best friend to shine like a diamond. “But I don't know if this will fall back to my face or even make me hate myself or...”“Leave.” Alicia’s directive to the makeup artist and her minions was blunt. She bowed and walked out her pallets and brushes, leaving the two ladies to deal with their troubles. “Kendi, breathe in...” she instructed her, abandoning the pearl project for a moment to focus on her dear friend. "... and out.”Kendall exhaled, feeling the same, but she flashed a fake smile to make her friend feel like her therapy section worked. "You have more than enough money, my darling,” she began, holding Kendall’s shoulders. "A handsome man to wake up to every morning, though grumpy,” she added. "Your surgery isn't a bother anym

The softly glowing table lamp in the dimly lit room cast elongated shadows on the walls. Thane leaned back in his leather chair, giving his full attention to the individual before him. Isabella sat with a relaxed posture, legs crossed, her sharp gaze and a slight smirk on her lips. The atmosphere in the room was heavy with the electric excitement of their joint ideas.Thane stated in a low and measured voice that everything was arranged. He tapped a folder on the table, containing information known only to him and Isabella. Jason has executed his part flawlessly, while Kendall has served as a flawless pawn in the game.Isabella raised an eyebrow, intrigued by her curiosity. "What specifically do you plan to do to solve their marriage issues?”Thane’s lips curled into a sinister smile. “The goal is to create enough chaos that their marriage falls apart under its own weight. The fissures already exist; we just have to make them larger.Isabella's eyes sparked with a predatory shine. I'm

Kendall walked back and forth in Alicia's living room, her movements fast and agitated. The message she discovered earlier was still tightly held in her hand. Seated on the couch, Alicia watched her with a mix of concern and determination on her face."I'm not sure what to do," Kendall stated, with her voice shaking. “I found this note at the house today. It says, ‘I know your secret.’ What if someone really knows something? What if they’re out to get me or Jason?”Alicia stood up and approached Kendall, resting a comforting hand on her shoulder. Kendall, listen carefully to my words. You need to stay calm. This note might be just an attempt to scare you. We’ve worked hard on our plan, and this doesn’t change that. You have to trust that we’re prepared.”Kendall looked scared with her wide eyes. What if it is more than just a warning? What if someone actually knows about the baby? If that gets out, it could ruin everything. "Jason is completely unaware, and I cannot take the chance of

Kendall felt an increasing unease as she noticed the sprawling estate appeared especially cold and its grandeur seemed diminished. Her footfalls echoed loudly on the marble floors and high ceilings of the vast halls, with each step seeming to taunt her solitude. She had become adept at hiding her pregnancy, camouflaging it with baggy clothes and a rehearsed attitude. Nevertheless, despite her efforts, the weight of her secret continued to increase.Kendall carefully arranged her clothing to hide her condition. Everyday, she dressed in big shirts, baggy skirts, and airy dresses to conceal her growing midsection. Each garment was carefully selected to conceal her pregnancy as best as it could, yet the reality of her situation could not be entirely disguised. She started wearing a specific large, dark coat even in the heat to cover her expanding belly from curious looks.The spacious wardrobe in her room appeared to be her safe haven. It was filled with an array of garments—each one stra
