Letter

Selena sat at her desk, her fingers drumming lightly against the wood as she stared at the letter she had just written. The parchment bore her neat, decisive handwriting, each word carefully chosen.

It was a simple letter, direct and to the point, but the weight of what it represented was anything but simple. She was asking Nicholas for a private conversation—one last attempt to reason with him before resorting to more drastic measures.

Adrien had mentioned that she could take Nicholas to court if necessary, and though the option was tempting, Selena was hesitant.

The spectacle it would cause was the last thing she wanted. Her reputation was already in a precarious situation due to her... Well, Selena's past, and because of this her reputation would only suffer further. Not to mention the backlash from Nicholas's family and their allies.
