Ann stormed into the room, her face flushed with anger and frustration. Her plans to separate Alexa from Ryan had continuously failed, leaving her feeling defeated and powerless. Zella, Ann's mother, immediately sensed her daughter's distress and moved towards her, attempting to console her.
Placing a gentle hand on Ann's trembling shoulder, Zella spoke in a soothing voice, "Ann, my dear, try not to worry too much. Just because Alexa is married to Ryan doesn't mean our plans are completely thwarted." Zella's eyes reflected empathy and understanding, hoping to provide a glimmer of hope amidst the chaos.
Overwhelmed by her emotions, Ann couldn't help but raise her voice, releasing her pent-up frustrations. "But, Mom, they are already living together! In the same house, the same room, and sharing a bed! I despise every bit of it! I feel so helpless... I couldn't stop Alexa from marrying Ryan."
