A man who never bothered with pictures had started documenting every moment after meeting his true love. Love truly was the most powerful magic in the world.
It was only then that Noreen realized just how much disrespect she had tolerated in her desperate pursuit of Seth’s affection. No photos together. No anniversaries celebrated. No public acknowledgment of their relationship. But back then, she had wanted a future with him so badly that she had been willing to accept any unfairness.
But some things, and some people, are irreplaceable only until something new comes along. She had cheated and bent every rule for him in the game of love, and he still failed. Yet Bianca had won it all without even trying.
…
The next morning, Noreen and her team arrived at the airport lounge for their flight to Glenhaven City. She had brought Sophia along for the business trip, and Vincent was with them as well. While they waited, Mrs. Joyner called to check in, informing Noreen that she had arranged for a driver to pick them up upon arrival.
Noreen reminded Sophia to get some hot water for Vincent, as he needed to take his medication. But after Sophia left, she didn’t return for a long time. Feeling something was amiss, Noreen went to check on her.
Near the hot water dispenser, Sophia was arguing with a middle-aged woman in her fifties.
“I already told you, I didn’t spill the water on the floor! It has nothing to do with me that you fell. In fact, I helped you up! Why are you turning on me?” Sophia was fuming, having never encountered someone so unreasonable.
“You malicious little girl! You’re the one who made me fall, and now you’re blaming me? Do you want me to call the police?” the woman retorted haughtily. “I suggest you apologize right now. My niece’s fiancé is from the most powerful family in Rivercrest City!”
Noreen frowned. There weren’t many families that could claim that title.
“What’s going on?” Yvonne Laurent asked, emerging from the restroom and taking in the scene.
The middle-aged woman immediately pointed at Sophia. “This woman spilled water on the floor and made me fall! Look what she did to my dress! This is designer! I just bought it yesterday! I haven’t even had a chance to show my niece’s fiancé, and she’s already ruined it!”
“I told you, it wasn’t me!” Sophia shot back, exasperated. “I even helped you up!”
