Chapter 64

• My long blonde hair was curled perfectly, with the top half clasped into a rhinestone clip, making it look like a tiara sat atop my head. The emerald green dress I wore hugged my curves in all the right places, while the delicate lace detailing along the hemline added a touch of elegance to the ensemble.
• I carefully applied a sweep of deep burgundy lipstick—a bold choice that contrasted beautifully with my fair complexion. My eyes were framed with a subtle smokey eyeshadow, and the rich color made me feel fierce and powerful.
