Bianca felt her entire body tense as the weight of her actions came crashing down on her.
The thought of Benjamin discovering the truth—that she was the one responsible for administering the curse herbs and ruining his reputation online—was like a vice squeezing her chest.
Her pulse raced, and she felt a chill run through her veins as the realization of her impending doom settled in.
"Benjamin will never forgive me," she whispered to herself, the fear evident in her voice. No matter how she tried to manipulate the situation, she knew there was no escape.
Shelly, standing nearby, observed Bianca's growing panic with a concealed smile. She gently placed her hand on her rounded belly, feeling the life growing inside her. Her mind raced with thoughts of her own schemes.
