Chapter 10: Her intention

Micah felt an unsettling sensation, as though someone were watching her. Curiosity piqued, she turned in the direction of the gaze, only to find Stefan standing there, his expression cold and unreadable caught off guard by her presence. Ryan, noticing that Micah's attention had drifted away from their conversation, followed her gaze to see Stefan. A pang of hurt washed over Micah as she observed Genevieve approaching him, but she quickly looked away, masking her emotions. Ryan, perceived to her discomfort, sensed the turmoil beneath her composed facade.

Meanwhile, Stefan's irritation was palpable as he overheard whispers and gasps when Genevieve and Ryan entered the venue. "Wow, are they a couple?" someone murmured. They looked like a perfect match, another added. Stefan's frustration simmered; his fists clenched involuntarily. Despite his annoyance, he couldn't help but acknowledge Micah's beauty she was stunning, breathtaking.

Genevieve felt a surge of annoyance upon realizing that Micah had shown up. As murmurs surrounded her, she loathed that the spotlight had shifted to Micah and the dashing man beside her. "Who is that guy? He certainly is handsome," she thought, only to be interrupted by her friend's chatter.

Genevieve saw Stefan gaze was on Micah, Quick to act, she approached him, a champagne in her hand. "Wow, Genevieve, you look stunning," Aiden remarked, drawing Stefan's attention, although it seemed he remained unfazed by Genevieve's presence,and Aiden laughed inwardly liking the attitude Stephan exhibited towards Genevieve.

Thanks, Aiden," she replied, aware that she was only putting on a show. Turning to Stefan with a flirtatious smile, she inquired, "How are you enjoying the party?"

"Very well," he replied curtly, his eyes shifting back towards Micah, who was laughing and engaging with Ryan. A flicker of jealousy ignited within him.

Genevieve plastered a forced smile on her face. "Would you like to dance with me for the next song?" she suggested, waiting for a response. Stefan hesitated at first, his gaze lingering on Micah, before reluctantly agreeing. "Sure."

Aiden raised an eyebrow, surprised at Stefan's acquiescence. "What about sister in-law?" he asked, but Stefan said nothing, grabbing a champagne flute from a passing waiter and gulping it down, storming away in a fit of anger.

Aiden felt a wave of annoyance, frustrated that the ambiance had been ruined.

He recognized Genevieve's intentions she was trying to steal Stefan away from Micah. He wouldn't allow her succeeded.
