A Vow of Deception, A Vow of Revenge novel Chapter 53

As soon as she started chatting with her best friend, Veronica's words tumbled out in a rush. "I've hung out with Jonah a few times before. Honestly, he's pretty great—gentle, considerate, definitely a step up from Tyson."

Winona found herself picturing Jonah: strikingly handsome, a renowned artist—the Prodigy Painter—and, by all accounts, one of the most upstanding men among the city's elite.

So this was the man her father had chosen as her arranged fiancé—the Rogers family's son.

Suddenly, Elvis's face flashed through her mind.

Did Elvis know about the arrangement between their families? He'd been helping her out in so many ways lately—was it because he knew she'd soon be his sister-in-law?

Veronica's chatter eventually faded into silence as she realized Winona hadn't spoken for a while. "Hey, Nona, what's up?"

"Nothing." Winona snapped back to reality. "Let's catch up later, I've got a busy afternoon. Need to grab some lunch before it starts."

"Alright, can't wait for you to get back to the city! Love you, babe!"

After hanging up, Winona picked at her lunch, barely tasting it.

She had a meeting at a client's office later, so she settled into the backseat of her car and idly searched Jonah's name on her phone.

The internet was flooded with news about Jonah. Though he kept a low profile, his reputation as the Prodigy Painter was impossible to ignore—especially with another major art exhibition coming up.

Rumor had it that when Jonah was just fifteen, one of his paintings sold at an overseas auction for millions of dollars. Collectors worldwide scrambled for his work.

He truly lived up to his nickname.

But Jonah rarely sold his paintings to the public.

There was even a rumor that he kept a single painting hidden away in his private studio, untouched for years, and no one but him knew what it looked like—or if it even existed.

Winona scrolled through a few articles before tucking her phone away.

On paper, her father's chosen fiancé was flawless.
