No one expected things to turn out this bad.
“Why… Why did this have to happen to Daphne …”

Blair’s voice broke, and she quickly covered her mouth as sobs escaped. Tears poured down her cheeks. Daphne had been her closest friend for decades.
Russell reached over and touched her arm gently. “Blair, breathe. She’s not gone yet. There’s still hope–things could turn around.”
Hearing him, Preston lowered his head, clenching his fists so tightly that his nails bit into his palms. The sting grounded him. It was the only way to dull the grief pressing on his chest.
More than anyone, Preston wanted to believe what Russell and Ryan were saying—that Daphne wasn’t gone. She was still alive. Even if she was lying in a hospital bed, unresponsive and hooked up to machines, at least there was still a thread of hope.
If she died … then everything would truly end. Everything.
Blair finally pulled out a tissue and dabbed at her eyes. “I’m sorry… I just lost it for a moment …
“It’s fine,” Russell said softly. “We all feel the same. Seeing her like this is unbearable. All we can do now is trust the doctors, trust the equipment at Motrar … and maybe pray for a miracle.”
Ryan’s words sounded sympathetic, but something about his tone set Preston on edge. He pushed the unease aside, forcing himself to stay quiet.
Blair nodded quickly. “Yes, you’re right. We can’t give up hope! Ryan, if there’s anything we can do, just tell us. The Jensons may not be as wealthy as the Bells, but we’ll stand by you however
we can.”
Ryan cleared his throat and shifted the conversation. “Of course… Well, actually, the real reason I asked you here today is because of Preston.”
“Me?” Preston looked up, stunned.
He had no clue what Ryan was up to.
Russell and Blair exchanged puzzled glances.
Ryan pressed on, “Do you
remember back before Preston and Tilda were even born, our families agreed on a marriage arrangement?” He made sure to emphasize Tilda’s name.

Russell and Blair stiffened, instantly understanding.
“Ryan … don’t tell me you’re seriously bringing up that old agreement now, of all times?”
God, what’s wrong with me? I actually want this to happen. I want to marry her.
No… Maybe I’m just trying to twist this into revenge. Kyla’s face is ruined now, and I don’t love her anymore, but could I really fall for my enemy?
