Carol was so furious, she wanted to hurl her glass of wine at Tyler—not just at him, but at Fitch too, that good-for-nothingcharmer.
These men were no good, every single one of them.The tension was palpable only for a moment before Tyler, with his easy charisma, lightened the mood again.Maja, who had been sipping her drink quietly, let out a sigh as she watched Carol.

“Maja, | know my way home, and shouldn't you be resting? You're expecting, after all. By the time my wedding day comes, you'llprobably be waddling,” Carol joked with a bittersweet smile.
There were just two weeks left until Carol's wedding.The invitations had been sent out long ago, and most of the local elite had received one.
Despite President Miller's recent incarceration, Felix had managed to keep the Miller Group's stocks from plummeting. With afew aggressive business moves, he had acquired two rival companies in a matter of months, positioning the Miller Group for aneven larger monopoly.
Such a man could play the long game, keeping a low profile by Carol's side, which only proved his cunning. Sooner or later,Carol was bound to be taken in by his schemes.
Carol left the Greenfield Gardens and found a car waiting for her at the curb. The night was bitterly cold, with a recent drop intemperature that made even the dim streetlights seem frozen in place.
Expecting her driver, she was surprised to find Felix seated in the back as she opened the car door.
Recently, Felix had been swamped with work as the Miller Group, now filled with his loyalists, was expanding rapidly. He hadpurged the company of those too faithful to President Miller, earning himself a fair share of curses from a few hundred soulswishing him an early grave.
Yet, here he was, the new golden boy of Greenfield, untouchable in the eyes of many who feared they might be the next to fallfrom grace.
Carol hesitated for a mere second before climbing into the car, keeping her distance from Felix.His fingers tapped the documents in his hand, his voice calm, almost gentle. "We'll go try on the wedding dress after sunrise."
The wedding was only two weeks away, yet the dress remained untried. In truth, this was due to Listina's incessant demands,clinging to Felix and preventing any such appointment.
Out of his affection for her, it kept getting postponed until now.
Carol didn't respond, merely closed her eyes and leaned back, refusing to engage in conversation. This was their usual way ofinteracting.
The car came to a stop in front of her house. As soon as the engine was off, the driver, sensing the tension, hurriedly exited thevehicle.
"Carol, didn't you hear me?" Felix's voice cut through the silence.
Carol opened the car door, attempting to leave, but a strong hand pulled her back. Her chin was caught in a firm grip, causingher pain.
"Never learned your lesson, have you?"
