And that was enough.
Christine paused for a moment, then chuckled, "You really are head over heels." "But, Gregory is worth it." As she spoke, she pouredanother glass of juice, reminding, "But, we really should start thinking about the dress for the wedding. After all, it's such an important occasion, it deserves sthoughtful consideration." "Alright, I'll go with your advice." I gave in.

Later that evening, my mom called, saying she had to attend a film festival these next few days and couldn't visit me.
"It's alright, mom. Christine's here, and you've got your things. Plus, Zoe's handling the cooking, and Gregory has someone assigned for my needs, I'm well taken care of." Bella hung up, reassured.
After Christine and I had our showers, we hadn't even hit the bed before Gregory called.
"Jane, you asleep yet?" "Not yet," My heart inexplicably soared at his late-night call, instinctively asking, "What's up? Something wrong?" "Don't worry."

Lucius replied honestly, "Gregory's gone to catch Josiah." "Why didn't you go with him?" In my mind, Gregory and Lucius were almost always together, especially for big matters.

At this hour, it was pitch black.
The only sound was the sea waves crashing against the shore.
Until a convoy of black SUVS arrived, their headlights piercing through the darkness, blinding.
Josiah, seeing the tall man stepping out from the first vehicle, cursed under his breath. Unperturbed, the man smirked slightly, lifting his hand casually.
Behind him, a few guards escorted Pearl and Dorothy forward.
Leaning against the SUV, Gregory casually spoke, "What's the matter? Decided you don't want your wife and kid's anymore?"
