The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 8

Was Leander, Nigel, Luna, and her kid becoming a true family of four?

The more I thought about it, the colder my heart felt,

For the first time, I realized that years of marital bliss might just be an illusion.

"Ding-dong."

The sound of the doorbell brought me back to reality. Glancing at the clock on the wall, I realized it was the time Leander came home from work.
