Breakfast consisted of Rena sharing her culinary creations with Waylen, who heartily enjoyed them.
âRena, once weâre married, Iâll be the one cooking for you.
â
Rena responded joyfully, âSo, for the next four years, Iâll be the chef?â
Waylen remained silent.
Bending close, he sealed the conversation with a ki*s.
Certainly not, because he wouldnât be with her over the next four years.
Instead, he would be waiting for her in the future⦠At that time, Rena would already be a mature woman and a mother of three children.
Unbeknownst to Rena, she reveled in their togetherness.
Handsome and affluent, Waylen possessed a deep understanding of her.
She felt at ease in his company.
Following breakfast, Waylen accompanied Rena to school.
His vehicle was quite conspicuous.
As they reached the school gates, Rena refused to proceed further, yet their presence drew a fair share of attention.
Gnawing at her lower Lip, she said unhappily, âItâs all your fault Saddened by her situation, Waylen offered a comforting ki*s.
âIâll change the car tomorrow.
â
Tempted, Rena bestowed a ki*s on his chin before stepping out of the car.
Watching her retreating form, Waylen finally identified whom Alexis resembled.
Alexis took after him.
Yet, there was a striking resemblance to the young Rena.
Waylen dialed a number, stating.
âSpread the word that the original piano solo opportunity was designated for Aline.
Eventually, the school selected Rena due to her background.
Ensure Renaâs protection around the clock.
â
That afternoon, Rena crossed paths with Aline.
News of the piano solo had traversed the music school, generating a spectacle of sorts.
Aline seethed with resentment.
Since Rena had got so much, why did Rena snatch her opportunity? Many celebrities in Duefron would be present in this school anniversary.
It was an important opportunity for Aline.
She was not willing to give up so easily.
Seeing Renaâs composed demeanor, she sneered, âItâs not over yet.
Donât get too comfortable.
â
Unperturbed by such opportunities for self-presentation, Rena harbored no interest.
Alineâs intent lay in establishing connections with celebrities.
Rena had no such desire, yet she wouldnât willingly forgo an opportunity that had been granted to her by the school.
A faint smile curved Renaâs lips.
Her reaction further stung Aline.
In a cold tone, Aline queried, âYouâre probably doing this for Vera, arenât you? Rena, itâs not my fault.
Vera Lacks the ability.
â
Rena shook her head.
Even now, Aline remained puzzled.
Vera had managed to secure an excellent relationship despite her breakup with Joseph.
Yet, Alineâs own life had spiraled downward.
Renaâs composure served only to escalate Alineâs hatred.
Seeking out Nelson, Aline was undeterred by the schoolâs principal being in his early fifties.
He was not bad looking, but after all, he was also a middle-aged man.
She had no inhibitions.
She believed offering herself to Nelson would secure a prime opportunity, a trade she deemed worthwhile.
Furthermore, rumors of Nelsonâs indiscreet private life lent credibility to her scheme.
She was convinced her plan would succeed.

However, as Aline began to undress, Nelson gently restrained her, his tone infused with rectitude.
âAline, we once discussed dedicating ourselves to art.
I wonât ask you to sacrifice your body for artâs sake.
Itâs a spiritual endeavor, not a carnal one.
Stripping down is easy, but itâs much harder to regain oneâs dignity.
â
Aline stood surprised, her expression unflattering.
Nelson calmly advised, âIâm not sure where these false rumors originated, but I assure you, the school had never considered offering you the piano solo.
Malignant intentions are behind the spreading of these falsehoods.
â
Yet, Aline remained unconvinced.
She persisted in her belief that Rena had stolen her opportunity.
Exiting the principalâs office, Aline confronted Rena, who sat reading in the Library.
There were four black-clad bodyguards around her, which prevented anyone from easily approaching her.
