Along with all the gossip accounts trying to cash in on the drama, everything was wiped clean, leaving only Liliana’s solitary statement about the broken engagement.
It didn’t take a genius to figure out who was behind it.
Even if they were breaking up, he wanted it to be clean, without outside interference.
No one had the right to comment on his and Liliana’s affairs.
Liliana lay on the bed, exhausted.
She had finally posted the announcement. She and Linton were officially over.
Her feelings were a tangled mess; she wasn’t nearly as calm as she had imagined she would be.
But she also felt a profound sense of relief.
It was as if a massive weight that had been crushing her heart was finally lifted, and the oppressive mood began to lighten.
With the exhaustion came an overwhelming drowsiness.
Liliana drifted off, not knowing when she finally fell asleep on the bed.
In the end, she was woken by a phone call.
Helena’s frantic voice burst from the other end. “Liliana, did you really break off your engagement with Linton?”
Liliana was still half-asleep, barely able to open her eyes. She mumbled a soft “Mhm,” like a little kitten.
Her voice was still raspy with sleep. “It’s real.”
Helena paused, then comforted her. “It’s for the best that you two are finally done. Now that the announcement is out, you can start a new life.”
“Don’t worry, if you want to have the baby, I’ll raise it with you. I’ll be its godmother.”
“Helena...”
Liliana was so moved she wanted to cry.
Helena soothed her with a laugh. “Alright, alright. When you get back, I’ll take you for a check-up at my family’s hospital. I guarantee no one will know.”
Helena knew that with the engagement over, Liliana’s emotions would be in turmoil for a while.
