Maya's POV
I must have brought a country to ruin in my past life to deserve this kind of fate. Was it really impossible to escape the Spencer's? It seems the more I run, the more I keep getting tangled with them.
Like a rose, they're beautiful and enticing but right now, they're choking me with their thorns.
I was more shocked to see Pedro than Isabella, what charm did Anabelle use on Cecil for her to release her precious son and allow him to journey with them without her supervision?
This unusual gathering was probably instigated by Annabelle - definitely not Isabella's normal mode of operation else, chaos would've broken out already.
Seeing Isabella made me a whole lot uncomfortable. It was nerve-wracking having a meal with a child that would've become my stepdaughter if things had gone according to as planned.
Thankfully, she just passed me a brief glance and focused her attention back on her food.
