The atmosphere in the room changed as they picked up on Kennediâs tense tone.
ennedi, are you looking for your boyfriend?â Maggie asked.
es.
â
âAnd have you found him?â Karina pressed.
âI have, but sadly, heâs fallen for someone else,â Kennedi confessed, her eyes growing misty.
Recognizing her deep sorrow, Karina reached out to comfort her.
âYour boyfriend must be blind.
Itâs a blessing you saw his true colors early, saving yourself from more heartache,â
Kennediâs eyes welled up, and Maggie quickly handed her a tissue.
Kennedi sniffed, dabbing her eyes with the tissue.
âBut itâs heartbreaking.
He was so warm and kind when we met.
I thought he loved me, but he had an ulterior motive for getting close to me and even hurt my family.
I want to hate him, but I canât stop loving him.
â
Her confession left the three of them stunned.
âWait, are you serious? How could anyone be so cruel? He didnât just use you.
Heâs an absolute monster!â Karina exclaimed, her outrage reverberating in the room.
Through her tears, Kennedi turned to Karina.
âWhat should I do, Karina?â
What should she do?
Karina glanced at Rosalynn, not knowing what to say.
Rosalynn stared at Kennedi and asked carefully, âKennedi, why did this man intentionally get close to you? Did he hold a grudge against your family?â
With tears clouding her vision, Kennedi gently dabbed at her damp cheeks with a crumpled tissue.
Her eyelashes fluttered, fragile like wings against the storm of her sorrow.
âHe doesnât want me; he wants my dadâs company.
He cast me aside once he took control of my dadâs business.
Then he pursued the woman who truly held his heart.
â
Furious, Karina gasped in disbelief, âCan such a despicable man even exist? This is sheer villainy.
Kennedi, do you still have feelings for him? If I were in your shoes, Iâd make him pay dearly.

Meeting Karinaâs eyes with her tear-streaked gaze, Kennedi asked, âIf you were me, youâd want revenge too, wouldnât you?â
âAbsolutely!â Karina declared without hesitation.
âWhile we must steer clear of illegal measures, we should still seek justice.
â
Nodding her agreement, Kennedi said, âI think so too.
But Iâm not certain what our course of action should be.
Karina, can you give me some advice?â
Karina blinked, a thoughtful expression crossing her face.
âLetâs see⦠I guessâ¦â
She let the words hang in the air, her gaze meeting Kennediâs expectant eyes.
âFind a business partner with more clout than him, someone capable of reclaiming your familyâs assets.
Or be a thorn in his side.
If he dates another woman, you can make trouble for them.
â
Karinaâs suggestions werenât off base.
Given Kennediâs portrayal, the man was nothing short of a heinous villain.
