Chapter 181

• Once the tea was all poured and the cookies were gone, Anna was finally left alone with her thoughts. She dared Lucas to show his face just so she could give him a piece of her mind. He had no right announcing her as his lady without asking her if she even wanted to be. She didn’t want this, right? Why was it getting harder to feel that way.
• Bella excitedly left to gather her things and bring them to the room Anna used to have when she was Kathy’s maid. It was much bigger than the one they shared and actually had warm water through the pipes rather than the ice cold baths they were used to in their old room.
• At least her friend seemed happy with her new situation. Bella deserved the world and more, but that didn’t make this any easier. A constant battle brewed inside her. One half wanted her to sit back and enjoy the ride while it lasted, and the other half—the smarter half of her—wanted to run as fast as she could before it all crumbled in her grasp.
