FEARLESS

Lucien took a deep breath and smiled weakly. "I'm so sorry, Jenny. I know this is a lot to take in. But I have to tell you... Ace and I are married."and I love him

Jenny's eyes widened in shock, her face pale. "What?!" she exclaimed, her voice trembling with surprise.

Jenny's face was red with anger and shock, her eyes blazing with tears. "You're married to him?" she repeated, her voice shaking with emotion. "And you're telling me you love him?"

Lucien took a step back, her eyes wide with concern. "Jenny, please understand..."

But Jenny cut her off, her voice rising to a shout. "No, I don't understand! You're my best friend, Lucien! How could you keep this from me?"

Lucien took a step back, her eyes wide with concern. "Jenny, calm down... I can explain..."

But Jenny was beyond reason. "Explain?" she repeated, her voice rising to a shriek. "Explain why Ace lied to me? Explain why you kept this from me?"

Lucien held up her hands, trying to placate Jenny. "Jenny, please... just listen..."

But Jenny was having none of it. "No, I won't listen!" she shouted, her face red with rage. "I want to know why Ace lied to me! I want to know why he pretended to be someone he's not!"

Lucien took a deep breath and tried to calm Jenny down. "Jenny, Ace didn't mean to hurt you. He just...he wanted to get to know you without you knowing who he really was."

Jenny's eyes narrowed, her expression skeptical. "And why would he do that?" she demanded.

Lucien hesitated, unsure of how much to reveal. "Ace...he's been hurt before, Jenny. He's been used by people who only wanted his money and status. He wanted to make sure that you weren't like that, that you would like him for who he really is."

Jenny's expression softened slightly, but she was still angry. "And what about you?" she asked, her voice a little quieter. "Why did you keep this from me?"

Lucien looked down, her eyes filling with tears. "I'm sorry, Jenny. I was trying to protect you. I didn't want you to get hurt."

Lucien took a step back, her eyes wide with fear. "Jenny, please understand... I never meant to hurt you. I know Ace was the one you wanted, and I'm so sorry that I fell in love with him too."

Jenny's face was red with anger, her eyes blazing with tears. "You fell in love with him?" she repeated, her voice shaking with rage. "You're married to him! How could you do this to me, Lucien? How could you betray me like this?"

Lucien's eyes were filled with tears, her voice trembling. "Jenny, I'm so sorry... I never meant to hurt you. Please forgive me..."

But Jenny just shook her head, her expression unyielding. "I don't know if I can ever forgive you, Lucien. You've broken my trust, and I don't know if our friendship can ever be the same again."

Lucian couldn't take it anymore she flared up" what do you mean jenny ? The same man you claimed never go love huh! The same man you rejected Cause he was broke what the hell do you really want jenny Lucian yelled fearlessly

Jenny's eyes widened in shock as Lucien's words cut through the air. "How dare you!" Jenny shouted, her face red with rage. "You think you can just throw that in my face and justify what you did?"

Lucien stood her ground, her eyes blazing with anger. "I'm not justifying anything, Jenny. I'm telling you the truth. You broke up with Ace because he didn't have money. You didn't love him for who he was. So why are you blaming me for falling in love with him?"

The room fell silent, the tension between the two women palpable. Jenny's face was twisted in anger, while Lucien's eyes flashed with defiance. It was clear that the gloves were off, and the true feelings were finally being revealed.
