Across the city, Sarah, blissfully unaware, was preparing for her wedding. Amelia had set up all the details.

Amelia’s fingers drummed on the desk. She could have had this, and she had decided not to. Instead, she had arranged for Sarah to lose everything.

A wave of intense satisfaction washed over her. She knew Sarah would be grateful for the surprise she had planned. A subtle smile played on her lips. It was a perfect ending.
