Aurelia sighed inwardly, knowing the whole mess had started because of her lack of foresight.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust then, Beverley walked in and said, "When Fredric and Sheryl were fighting, Joyce's ncup. You know, Aurelia and | are kind of superstitious, and we figured that all the between Fredric and Sheryl might be connected to Joyce's restless spirit. So we took Sheryl to this spiritualist. We thought a good wizard might help her apologize to Joyce and settle their feud. But who could have guessed she'd choose such a drastic way out?" Lisbeth let out a sigh, "Sheryl must've been pushed to the edge by Fredric, huh? When people are on the verge of breaking, they can lose all sense of reason." Aurelia replied, "Didn't Joyce end her life because Sheryl drove her to despair? What goes around comes around, | guess." Lisbeth shot her a meaningful look, saying, "I heard from Sheryl that you know Joyce." Aurelia nodded, downplaying her connection, "lI met her once. She used a stage name. If it weren't for a little online digging, | wouldn't have known she was a classmate of my cousin." Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, Lisbeth mused, "Fredric's single now. When's your cousin going to step into Sheryl's shoes? Next twe hang out, let's invite her. It'd be nice to get to know her better." Aurelia shrugged, "It's not even a thing yet. Fredric's got a thing for her, sure, but she hasn't said yes." "What?" Beverley jolted, "Didn't they hook up? They're not planning to get hitched?" "They were drugged," Aurelia explained.
As she spoke, Lisbeth flickered her eyes, her gaze dropping to her fingers.
Beverley gasped, "Who the hell with nerves of steel would dare drug Fredric?" "No idea," Aurelia said, peeling an orange. That was something Leopold was still looking into.
"Doesn't your cousin like Fredric?" Lisbeth inquired.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAurelia smiled and replied, "Fredric's handsand charming. Any woman looking to marry rich would be all over him. But my cousin? She's not hurting for money or attention. Why would she settle for a playboy?" She sighed wistfully, "What woman doesn't want a man who's all in for better or for worse?" Beverley pursed her lips, "Loyal men are almost extinct. I've dated plenty, but no one really loved me. They were all jerks. Lisbeth and Aurelia, you guys are the lucky ones. You've got my brothers, each one a catch and crazy about their ladies." Lisbeth dropped her head slightly, a shadow of something unspoken crossing her face.
"You just haven't met your match yet." Aurelia handed them pieces of the peeled orange. "Fate is a funny thing. When it shows up, you gotta grab it with both hands. If you miss it, it might never caround again." Lisbeth said in a low and husky voice as if shattered by the rain outside the window.
"Maybe speople are meant to cross paths but not destined to be together. Even if they do get together, they might still end up apart." Aurelia said firmly, "Our destiny is in our hands. Even if fate seems against us, true love can work miracles." Beverley nodded vigorously, "Exactly! Look at Leopold and Aurelia. They were apart for three years, and had to divorce, but they never gave up on each other. Now they're back together, aren't they?" Aurelia felt a twinge of guilt. In truth, she had given up on Leopold. When she left Elysium three years ago, her heart was in tatters.
She never imagined they could reunite.
