Third Person POV

It was the day when the whole nation was waiting to come. After the news broke about the famous models' conviction, anyone who cheered or rooted for the models was glued to their seat, eyes on their television screen, watching with growing anticipation as the scene unfolded.

As Claire Preira stood on the podium, standing next to her were Ms. Tabitha and the former beauty queen, Mrs. Helena Ratskin, with several reporters, media flanked them.

"I'm sorry for everything that I've done to you. I was filled with jealousy. My dark desires controlled all sense that was left in me..."

She was standing in the doorway, one hand holding the lever handle. "Who is Mr. Monroe?" I asked.

My brain has seemed to process things slowly since this morning. I've been missing Clara Bell, but she's busy finding her wedding dress today.

"He's the realtor," Emily briefly explained, and just then, it dawned on me."Ah, yes!"

I decided to buy the building we saw the other day, perfect for Clara Bell to start her foundation. My wedding gift for her. I had already contacted a few lawyers who are inclined in this field to process all the papers needed.

Just then, my phone rang, and it was Clara Bell.

All thoughts about the said realtor forgotten... temporarily.

All that exhaustion I felt suddenly faded. A wide smile broke from my lips as I connected the call.

"Are you busy?" she asked before I could even say hello.
