Oh, and there was that “agreement” she had with Marcelo. She’d have to find a way to cut ties with it eventually.
She had originally planned to handle it slowly, but once that reality show exploded in popularity, she shifted her plans.
Seeing Gianna, the fake sweetheart, get torn apart online gave her a wicked idea to toy with those fools.
Just as she was mulling over about starting her own company, her phone rang.
“Amelia! It’s been forever!”
Amelia answered and instantly recognized Patience’s lazy, teasing tone.
Patience was one of the few people Amelia trusted. She was her closest friend.
“You’re back?” Amelia arched an eyebrow with a hint of surprise.
“Knew you’d figure it out, bestie!”
Patience had left the country to mend a broken heart, but now she was home.
Perfect timing, really. Amelia grinned.
“You’re not about to disappear again, are you?”
“Not a chance! I’m going to make it big here, prove to your scumbag brother I don’t need him to glow!”
She sounded fierce, burning with determination.
“Great. Let’s grab a drink and catch up,” Amelia suggested.
It was like she’d wished for a friend’s company, and fate delivered right away.
And that friend was the one she trusted most.
Amelia and Patience quickly made plans.
They picked a stylish café downtown, ready to relax and exchange updates.
But just as Amelia finished dressing and was about to leave, her phone rang again.

“Amelia, where are you? Come to the old house, fast!” Thea’s voice was shaky, which was unlike her usual calm.
“Aunt Thea, what’s wrong?” Amelia’s chest tightened, her grip on the phone firming.
“Your grandma collapsed. It looks really bad. You need to hurry!” Thea’s words came out rushed and uneven. “The doctor is here, but it’s not looking good.”
Amelia’s expression darkened.
