BINI-ridgerton 2

**From the Column of Lady BINIridgerton**

It appears that the Season has taken an unexpected turn, my dear readers, for after the grand marriage of the Duke, Mikhael Lim, to the ever-so-timid yet elegant Aiah Arceta, we now find ourselves amidst rumors that will surely shake the ton. The Duke and Duchess have settled into their domestic bliss, welcoming a handsome son into their world-he is but three months of age, and yet the Lims remain under the keen eyes of society.

But, as with everything else, life must carry on, and I must direct your attention to people who have remained in the background for far too long. First there's *Cole Lim*, the Duke's gruff and stoic brother who despises anything loud or colorful. However, speculations circulate that his annoyance with the vibrant *Maloi Ricalde* is merely a disguise for something deeper. Could it be that underneath that frown there is affection? How beautifully ironic.

Then there's *Gian Lim*, the silent and disinterested sibling who is as mysterious as he is nice. Rumor has it that the bashful Gian has long nursed a secret admiration for the Duchess's cousin, *Sheena Catacutan*. But will this shy man ever gather the confidence to express his emotions?

Lastly, we come to *JR Lim*, the most jovial and exuberant of the Lim brothers. It seems that no one can escape his playful teasing, especially *Stacey Sevilleja*, the feisty cousin of the Duchess who is as obsessed with the color pink as she is with ribbons and lace. But dear readers, could there be more to his teasing than meets the eye? Perhaps JR's jests hide something much more tender.

Oh, the scandals, the romance, the intrigue! The Season is ripe with possibilities. Keep your eyes sharp, for I, *Lady BINIridgerton*, shall reveal all the latest gossip.
