“When you were with Nathan, | didn’t feel this uneasy. And when you were with Ryan, | thought you were just
going through the motions, living life like it was a game. After a lifetof being held back by your emotions, 1
figured you wouldn't fall for anyone so easily again. But with Edward... are you actually thinking about marrying
him?” Jared's voice carried doubt and a touch of melancholy, like he was seeing right throughall over again.
“Knock it off.” I snapped, yanking the contract out of his hand. “Jared, mind your own business and stop
meddling in mine.”
“If you really go through with this marriage, what about Ryan? The woman he once loved would suddenly
bechis stepmom. You'd be running into each other all the time, especially at family gatherings and holidays.
Victoria, are you really going to lock yourself up in a gilded cage like that?” Jared asked, his eyes dark and
intense as he stared at me.
| avoided his gaze, feeling a pang of guilt, and clenched my fingers tight. “Relax. I'm not going to let myself get
trapped like that.”
“I hope you know what you're doing,” Jared said, tapping his fingers on the desk. “Out of these three guys,

I turned back to look at him. “This isn’t skind of test.”
“It is a test.” Jared retorted, getting a little heated. “You're choosing who you want to be with, and what kind of
life you want to live.”
Thanks for caring, but | know what I’m doing,” | said stubbornly, tossing my hair and turning to leave.

The tourism industry was about to boom for the next few years, and with the economy on the upswing. there'd
be all kinds of golden opportunities popping up.
Now that | was back home, | felt a lot more at peace.
Looking back on everything that happened with Edward in the UK, it almost felt unreal-like I'd just woken up
from a dream.
That dream was both vivid and blurry, but it wasn’t something | could let myself chase after.

With the success stories from Shaville and Braylin, companies were lining up to work with us. By early May, we
were already talking partnerships with Trinity Real Estate and other firms in Habornington, Gordezin, Showtown,
and Westford. Honestly, | never saw this massive turning point coming in May.
Work got insanely busy almost overnight. Within just a few days, | was flying from city to city, constantly on the
