"Kelsie, do you hear me?"
"Ever heard of an engagement annulment?" All of a sudden, Kelsie scoffed.
The faces of everyone turned grim.
"That will be an insult to both our families. If one of the two most powerful families suddenly do such a thing, what will people say?"

Taken aback, he dialed her number again only to be busied. When he tried it a second time, it no longer connected.
"Decisive and swift, reminds me so much of her mother."
Sitting on a white couch, an elderly man laughed, reaching out for the piece of sliced apple in the plate in front of him.
