Mechelle pov
I was unexpectedly docile, much quieter than before, which seemed to touch Alexander Duncan more than he expected. He simply wanted me to understand that everything before was just him using me.
"You said it was just a game," I chuckled knowingly, "and besides, I know my place. Linda is the one you'll marry. After all, I was once your Mechelle."
Alexander Duncan fell silent, saying nothing more.
Back at the villa, I sensed Diana's attitude towards me had changed. She wasn't as warm as before, but I didn't dwell on it. After all, I was Sophia's daughter. Alexander Duncan canceled all his business plans for several days to stay home with me, locking away those two rooms to spare my feelings.
