Rachael Dolman sighed the moment her feet landed on Australian soil. She knew her their father wouldn’t sit still, even though they weren’t invited to the party.

At that moment, her phone rang, and she hurriedly picked it up. “Hello!” “It’s me,” Nicholas breathed into the phone. “Are you sure you can’t make it to the party?” he asked. “Oh, no, dear.” Right… he didn’t know she had come to Austral on her own. To him, she probably was still rolled up somewhere in Atlanta, like a caged animal. “I told you, I don’t feel like going to any party.” She lied. "Even if it's your dau

It took us two hours to unbox the many boxes of accessories, and with each opened box, I couldn't help but burst into laughter at Lucian's sour expression."You should see your face in the mirror," I teased him, my laughter filling the room. "Oh, come on! Don't tell me you really hate the idea of me taking things from her?""No... That's not it," he replied grimed."Lucian... look," I pointed at the closet. "In there, there are thousands of clothes, shoes, and accessories that could take me forever to use. You bought them all for me, and if given the opportunity, I know you will buy the whole of Austral in my name," I told him, my voice softening. "I know it, Amelia knows it.
