Chapter 45: The Engagement Party

Why was Margaret here? Did Dylan’s parents invite her? Was this really happening at her engagement party?

Zoe did her best to wish Margaret away. She closed her eyes tightly and then reopened them swiftly. Unfortunately, Margaret was still there, standing beside her man.

HER MAN.

Normally she would try and give Dylan space. But this time she couldn’t. This day was supposed to be about her and Dylan, and although it had already started disastrous, she wasn’t going to let Margaret add fuel to the fire.

So, she made her way over to Dylan and Margaret to interrupt whatever pointless conversation they were having.

“Margaret, you need to leave,” Zoe said, as she approached them.

As usual, Margaret smiled. Briefly touching Dylan’s arm, she turned towards Zoe.

“Darla invited me. I’m not going anywhere” Margaret said, sipping a glass of champagne.
