She smiled, "no, I don't"
Andrei glanced at her, a flicker of doubt in his eyes. "You think so?"
"I do," Josie said, leaning in closer. "Maybe we need to focus on the future, on what's ahead, not what's behind. She might come around if she sees that you're committed to moving forward."
Andrei considered her words, though the weight of his uncertainty remained. "I hope you're right."
Josie smiled softly, masking the triumph she felt. "Trust me. She just needs time."
As Andrei relaxed into her touch, Josie felt a surge of confidence. She was carefully weaving the web that would entangle Suzanne, ensuring that when the time came, she would be the one standing beside Andrei, not Suzanne.
But in the shadows of the estate, Suzanne was preparing for a confrontation of her own, determined to uncover the truth—and to ensure that neither Josie nor Mikhailov would succeed in their schemes.
