Chapter 56

Xavier turned to Nathalie, smiled sweetly and held out one hand. "Honey, come here!"

Nathalie had already taken a step forward confidently. Her smile never left her now radiant face.

But the steps were stopped for a moment when someone ahead of her. Just over her shoulder from the back towards the stage.

The woman strode very gracefully, trying to look as confident as possible even though her heart was already bitterly staring at the people who were now staring at her in shock and even almost died standing up.

"Ladies and gentlemen … introduce the special woman in my life, half of my breath, as well as my future companion … she is Rachel."

Rachel welcomed Xavier's outstretched hand with a warm smile. Reassuring herself that her struggle with Xavier has only just begun from here.

"And at the same time as tonight's event, I announce ..."

"That my wedding plans with Nathalie next week, are cancelled."
