Out of His Selfish Desire

'What did he find?'

Narrowing her eyes, Lariette replayed Declan's words in her mind. They piqued her curiosity but, she didn't want to push him for the answers.

Declan had already left Azure Bay. He, alongside Rafael, Alaric and Celina, followed Jonathan and Samantha back to the mainland. Stephanie was included.

Samantha and Alaric were still steadfastly on Stephanie's side while Jonathan put the entire blame on her. The man's fondness for her, the one he deemed his beloved daughter before, seemed to disappear within a day.

As for Declan, Rafael and Celine, they didn't condone Stephanie's affair yet, they didn't go out of their way to make the issue worse.

Lying on one side, Lariette hugged a pillow close to her chest. Her silky strands sprawled on the soft pink pillow sheet, creating a stark contrast.

'I think people won't stop talking about the wedding yet. Will she join tea parties or banquets this soon? I doubt it.'
