Dangerous Engagement

ARTEMIS

"Breaking News! Artemis of Goldberg Industries and Gregory Lee-Warren of Warren Group of Companies announced their engagement last night. We have Karen Saunders for the details..."

The news faded in the background as I focused myself on the diamond ring on my finger. Am I really engaged with Greg? 

It was an hour past midnight. While the chaos ensued at the party, Gregory and I left the venue. 

"I'll take care of everything," Gregory was catching his breath. He never once looked me in the eyes. "You go home and rest." Before I could say anything, he flagged down a taxi. And here I am in my hotel room, contemplating everything that happened.

I got the island. Oh I forgot, my birthday ended just an hour ago. I never got to celebrate.

My phone rang. It was Leon.

"Hey....." I answered, my voice trailing off.
