Chapter 11
“The Betrayal”
Zibah and Jasmine were taken aback by the unexpected encounter. Clinton George, the sensational artist, stood before them with a warm smile, his eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. They had last seen him at the art competition many years ago, where he had stunned everyone with his breathtaking masterpiece.
"Clinton! What are you doing here?" Zibah asked, her voice laced with surprise and curiosity.
"I could ask you the same thing," Clinton replied, his eyes darting between Zibah and Jasmine. "I never thought I'd run into you two again, especially not after... everything that happened."
Jasmine's eyes narrowed slightly, her mind racing with memories of their complicated past. "What do you mean, Clinton?" she asked, her voice tinged with a hint of wariness.
