Chapter 21 Mrs Rodriguez 'S Grand Night

• Theo led me outside, his grip on my waist firm as we approached a sleek black Mercedes Benz S-Class parked in the driveway. The car gleamed under the soft glow of the evening lights, another display of his endless wealth. It felt like every event we attended, he made sure to show off a different car from his collection.
• The chauffeur was already seated in the driver’s seat, waiting patiently. He didn’t say a word as Theo opened the back door for me. Without much choice, I slid into the luxurious leather seat, the cool interior a sharp contrast to the tension I felt. Theo followed, settling beside me and closing the door behind him.
• “Try to keep up appearances,” Theo said, glancing at me with a smirk before turning his attention out the window.
