Chapter 127 Prepare Yourself

• Remembering Mrs Myllet’s words, I was determined to try and be a good partner to Paul. By default, we were a couple, and I could not escape him unless I was willing to face death. I planned a romantic evening for us, while he was away at the Brixton office.
• The house in De Rosie was smart, one of my favourites. The kitchen was modern with high-tech features, creating a comfortable and inviting atmosphere. I placed the ingredients across the white quartz countertops, making them colourful with the clutter.
• As I synchronized my movements with the sharp, rhythmic chopping of vegetables against the wooden cutting board, I attempted to imagine Paul’s reaction to all this. I was putting in my utmost effort.
