HOW TO FACE JENNY

As Lucien danced in Ace's arms, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness. She had invited Sarah, but Alycia and Jenny, her closest friends, weren't here to witness her special day.

She wondered how she was going to disclose to Jenny that she had just married her ex-lover. Would Jenny feel upset with her? How would Jenny handle the situation? Would she get angry or hurt?

Lucien decided to dance away her worries for now and wait for Jenny to come to LA in the next two days. She was ready to face whatever reaction Jenny might have, knowing that she had already made her choice and married Ace.

"I'll deal with it later," Lucien thought to herself, pushing aside her worries and focusing on the happiness of the moment. She smiled up at Ace, feeling grateful to have him by her side.

As the music played on, Lucien lost herself in the magic of the night, her heart filled with joy and love for her new husband. But deep down, she knew that she would have to face the music soon, and she steeled herself for the conversation that was to come with Jenny.

The next two days passed by in a whirlwind of romance and bliss as Lucien and Ace enjoyed their honeymoon phase. They spent their days exploring the city, holding hands, and gazing into each other's eyes.

But as the days went by, Lucien couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that had been growing inside her. She knew that she had to tell Jenny about her marriage to Ace, and she was dreading the conversation.

As Lucien stood at the airport, nervously fidgeting with her phone, she couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. She had been dreading this moment for days, knowing that she had to tell Jenny about her sudden marriage to Ace.

Lucien had been staying with Ace in his mansion, and he had given her two months' leave from work. But Lucien wasn't happy about it. She wasn't the type of person who enjoyed staying at home all day, doing nothing. She missed her job and the sense of fulfillment it gave her.

As she waited for Jenny's flight to arrive, Lucien's mind was racing with thoughts of how her friend would react to the news. Would Jenny be shocked, angry, or disappointed? Lucien didn't know, but she was determined to tell her friend the truth, no matter how difficult it might be.

Just then, Lucien's phone buzzed, signaling an incoming text message. She glanced down and saw that it was from Ace. "Hey, beautiful," the message read. "Can't wait to see you tonight. Love you."

Lucien smiled, feeling a flutter in her chest. She quickly typed out a response, her fingers flying across the keyboard. "Love you too," she wrote. "Can't wait to see you tonight."

As she sent the message, Lucien felt a sense of nervousness wash over her. She knew that she had to tell Jenny about her marriage to Ace, and she was worried about how her friend would react. But she was determined to be honest and open with Jenny, no matter what might happen.

As they drove towards the mansion, Lucien was lost in thought. She was worried about how Jenny would react when she met Ace, and how everything would play out. She was contemplating what would happen when Jenny found out that she had married Ace and was now living in his mansion.

Jenny, sensing that something was off, turned to Lucien and asked, "Girl, what's wrong? You've been quiet for a while now. Is everything okay?"

Lucien tried to brush it off, not wanting to reveal too much just yet. "I'm fine, Jenny. Just a little tired, that's all."

But Jenny wasn't buying it. She knew Lucien too well, and she could tell that something was bothering her. "Lucien, come on. You can tell me what's going on. I'm your girl, remember?"

Lucien smiled weakly, feeling a mix of emotions. She knew she had to tell Jenny the truth eventually, but she was scared of how her friend would react.

Just then, the car turned into the driveway of a beautiful mansion. Jenny's eyes widened in surprise as she took in the grandeur of the estate.

"Girl, where are we?" Jenny asked, her voice full of wonder.

Lucien hesitated, knowing that she had to tell Jenny the truth. "We're at...my new home," she said, trying to sound casual.

Jenny's eyes sparkled with curiosity. "Your new home? What do you mean? You're not still staying in that apartment, are you?"

Lucien took a deep breath, knowing that she had to come clean. "No, Jenny. I'm not staying in the apartment anymore. I...I moved in with someone."

Jenny's eyes narrowed, her expression intrigued. "Someone? Who's the lucky guy?"

Lucien's heart skipped a beat as she hesitated, unsure of how to reveal the truth. But before she could say anything,

"C'mon in Lucian said offering jenny a seat jenny finally sat down still giving Lucian a " what's going on look

"Calm down I.....Lucian was about saying something when they heard footsteps coming downstairs they both looked up Lucian bit her lower lips looking away

As Jenny's eyes met Ace's, she felt a jolt of surprise and confusion. She was still trying to process the luxurious mansion and Lucien's sudden change in lifestyle, and now she was faced with a familiar yet unexpected figure.

Ace's eyes locked onto Jenny's, and he smiled warmly as he descended the stairs. Jenny's mind was racing as she tried to place the face, but it wasn't until he reached the bottom of the stairs that she felt a surge of recognition.

"Ace?" she whispered, her voice barely audible. "Is that really you?"

Ace's smile faltered for a moment, and he looked at Lucien before responding. "Yes, Jenny. It's me," he said, his voice low and smooth.

Jenny's eyes widened as she took in Ace's transformed appearance. Gone was the broke and struggling man she had known; in his place was a confident and successful individual who exuded wealth and sophistication.

"What...what happened to you?" Jenny asked, her voice still laced with shock and confusion.

Ace chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Let's just say I've had a change in fortune," he said, his voice dry.

Jenny's eyes narrowed, her expression skeptical. "A change in fortune?" she repeated, her voice laced with doubt. "That's quite an understatement, isn't it?"

Ace shrugged, his smile never wavering. "I suppose it is," he said, his voice casual. "But I've worked hard to get where I am today."

Jenny raised an eyebrow, her expression incredulous. "Worked hard?" she repeated, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "You? Ace, the guy who couldn't even afford to pay his rent on time?"

Ace's smile faltered for a moment, and he looked at Lucien, who was watching the exchange with a mixture of amusement and concern. But then, his smile returned, and he chuckled. "Well, I've certainly come a long way since then," he said, his voice dry.

Jenny shook her head, her expression still skeptical. "I'll say," she muttered, her eyes scanning the luxurious mansion. "So, Lucien, how did you two meet again?"

Lucien hesitated, looking at Ace before responding. "We..met and fell in love she replied boldly
