She’s not as innocent as she seems…

Bea's POV

The tension in the room was so thick you could practically cut it with a knife.

Melanie's angry shouts were echoing off the walls, and Grace, Theo, and Josh were all slowly making their way down the stairs. I exchanged a worried glance with Josh, who was watching the scene unfold with a mix of amusement and concern.

Melanie's voice was sharp as she continued to shout at Grace, demanding that she leaves the house. It was clear that Melanie was furious, and I had never seen her like this before. Grace was holding her ground, though, standing tall in the face of the storm, and that was something I respected.

As they all reached the bottom of the stairs, an unexpected twist occurred. Grace turned towards Theo, her expression determined, and before anyone could process what was happening, she moved in to kiss him. It wasn't just a peck on the cheek – it was a full-blown, passionate kiss that left everyone in the room momentarily stunned.
