Corinna hair and outfit

Leo and I found ourselves engrossed in the intricate details of our upcoming wedding as we enjoyed a quiet lunch in the park.

Leo grinned, "I was thinking of white lilies for the centerpiece. Elegant, don't you think?"

I chuckled, "They're beautiful, but let's not forget the family dinner. When do you think is the right time for them to meet?"

Leo hesitated, his eyes searching mine. "Corinne, I want your family to know mine. How about next weekend?"

I nodded, concealing the turmoil within. "Sounds perfect."

As the conversation flowed seamlessly between flowers and seating arrangements, my heart wavered on the precipice of unveiling my concealed life. A silent tension hovered, both of us yearning for a deeper connection.

With a mischievous glint in his eye, Leo leaned in, "Corinne, I can't wait to call you my wife."

Caught in the warmth of the moment, I smiled, "And I can't wait to be your wife, Leo."

Our laughter mingled with the rustle of leaves, temporarily drowning out the complexities lurking beneath the surface. Yet, as we leaned in for a kiss, a text from Juni interrupted our budding intimacy.

"Sorry, Leo, duty calls. I'll call you later," I said, trying to hide my disappointment.

He grinned, blissfully unaware, "Take your time, Corinne."

Little did he know, my world was a tapestry of secrets, and the threads were slowly starting to unravel.

Corinna first person:

The room was charged with anticipation, my family gathered with a gravity that hinted at a revelation. As I closed and locked the door behind me, confusion painted my expression-why this clandestine assembly? My father, the orchestrator of this enigmatic congregation, held crucial information about our rivals, the Giordanos.

Sitting on the couch, I absentmindedly pet Chauncey, my loyal companion, seeking comfort in his presence. My father spoke of the Giordanos planning a wedding, and my mind kicked into high gear. I fired questions, craving every detail that could tip the scales in our favor, yearning for the knowledge that would bring retribution.
