Twilight in Your Eyes
“Dad, I agree to move to Haven State for the arranged marriage. Let’s do it quickly before I change my mind.”
Her father, Joe Stone, replied instantly. “Good girl, I’ll have it sorted within a month at most!”
Just an hour ago, Tara Stone had been in the backseat of a luxury car, her soft sighs slipping out as Leo Carter kissed her.
His phone rang, and he answered in Genovian, his tone impatient.
“Calling at a time like this?”
The voice on the other end chuckled. “What’s up? Busy with something important? How much does she resemble Nina Lucas?”
Leo absentmindedly stroked Tara’s delicate face. “About seventy percent similar. If you don’t get to the point, I’m hanging up.”
“Wait, don’t! Nina’s flight lands tomorrow. She’s returning to revive her career back home. I thought I’d give you a heads-up. Nice of me, right? Your first love, your ‘one true love,’ is back. Think you’ll finally ditch the stand-in? What if she won't leave you?”
Leo replied coldly, “There’s no problem money can’t solve.”
Tara, her head lowered against the seat, felt her tears streaming uncontrollably.
Leo had no idea she understood Genovian.
Three years of heartfelt devotion, and to him, she was nothing more than a dog.
