“You and your mom aren’t that noble” Winona applied lipstick and glanced at Mikayla. Your mom’s a nobody! In ancient times she could only be a mistress, never a wife.”
Mikayla raised her hand swiftly, catching Winona off guard, and delivered a resounding stap. Five distinct fingerprints marred Winsona’s freshly made up face
Seeing those marks thrilled Mikayla. Always humble and submissive due to her parents’ influence, she never expected retaliation to feel so satisfying. She just wished she had slapped Winona hander.

In a secluded corner of the wedding venue, Juliet sat poised on a chair, her tidy short hair complementing her rosy gown as she waited patiently.
Brantley brought some desserts and fruit over.
