She drank so much at social events that she had stomach bleeding and she hovered at the edge of life and death several times.
In two years, my sister lost thirty pounds. She helped Lucian pay off all his debts and in return, won his love.
We toasted together, promising to stay close and love each other for a lifetime, never to be separated.
I was lost in thought when I heard a key turning outside.
The door opened and Lucian and Vivienne were suddenly standing there.
I had forgotten—we each had a copy of the key to this place.
“Vivienne said you came back, so we guessed you’d be here. You should’ve told us you were returning. We could’ve picked you up.”
He stepped forward as if to pat my shoulder, but I avoided him.
“This place isn’t suitable to live in. Come back with us. The housekeeper is on leave and there’s an empty room available.”
I lowered my gaze and saw that their house was here in this city.
I had only come back to see my sister. Later, I was going to meet my future mother-in-law for the first time.
I held out my hand. “Keys!”
This house had been bought by my sister and it was under my name.
It had nothing to do with the two of them.
