A rushed arrival

Edwards groaned as his phone continued to ring, disturbing the peaceful embrace he shared with Diana. Reluctantly, he broke away from her and reached for his phone, only to find that the call had already ended. Frowning, he checked the caller ID and saw that it was his cousin, Sherly. Wondering what had happened to cause her to repeatedly call him, he felt a sense of urgency in his chest.

Diana reached out for his shoulders, urging him to come back to her. Edwards shrugged her off gently, signaling her to wait as he turned his attention to his phone. Expecting to find a missed call, he was surprised when a message popped up on the screen. He opened it and read the content, his heart sinking with each word.

"Annabelle is seeing someone else."
