Ariana. “What our boss means is that even though he’s not too fond of this doctor, if you wish for his
services, he respects your decision and will let him stay.”
Ariana sat on the bed, a little taken aback, her mind traveling back to the conversation in the hotel with
Theodore.
So, he’d kept her words in mind after all?
Reflecting on that exchange in the hotel room, a wave of sadness swept over her.
She had said some harsh words to him and had yet to apologize.
Then, Judy’s comforting words flashed through her mind. “Give him a little time, he’ll change for the
better.”

However, she had a hurdle to overcome—Marley.
She had to find out who Marley was, what part she played in Theodore’s life.

to her steadfastness, her principles, and her boundaries.
No matter the depth of her love for Theodore, she wouldn’t surrender her principles and boundaries for
him.
Love wasn’t a commodity, cheap and expendable.
