Chapter 36 High And Dry

• I was exhausted, but I could barely sleep that night. I knew I had to act fast. Roselyn's life could be in danger, just like her company and inheritance, and her so-called prince charming was now part of this messy picture. I felt a weight on my shoulders as I realized the enormity of the situation. I was caught in a complex web of lies, and my next steps could have terrible consequences. I had to warn her, but how? What if Mr. Nucci discovered my intentions and tried to get rid of me as well? What if they exposed our secret again, this time for the whole world to see?
• The following morning, I mustered up the courage to call Roselyn’s phone. However, just like I thought, she had blocked my number. Luckily, I could still spy on her social media. Apparently, it was a special day for her: she was about to choose her dream wedding dress, and all her former girlfriends were there to support her decision.
• I dressed hastily and made my way to the kitchen. Mom was cooking breakfast. She stared at me and instantly read my expression. Her eyes narrowed, a knowing smirk playing at the corners of her lips. I held my breath, the weight of the secret pressing down on my chest.
