Chapter 89

• Third Person’s POV
• Serena hesitated, her expression caught between guilt and reluctance, as though revealing some painful truth. Finally, she whispered, voice trembling just enough to sound convincing, “Actually… Celeste used to be in a relationship with my friend.”
• Her lashes lowered demurely, and she continued with false sincerity, “He drove her in his luxury car every day, showered her with ninety-nine roses, even introduced her to his parents. But then… Celeste staged a kidnapping to test him. She terrified him. When he discovered it was all a lie, he broke things off immediately. She even went looking for him afterward.”
