Her tone was calm as if she were recounting someone else’s story.
‘Just yesterday, I overheard Tobias and his friends planning how he would fake amnesia, propose to me and carry out his final act of revenge at the wedding.”
‘Even so, I still agreed to his proposal.”

‘As for the invitation, Rafael and I will be getting married one week from now. You’re welcome to
