Chapter 44

The weekend retreat was like a magical adventure for Victoria and Alexander. They got super close and enjoyed the simple countryside pleasures. Walking hand in hand through meadows, the sunlight made everything look like a fairy tale.

Alexander couldn't stop looking at Victoria, loving her laughter and how her eyes sparkled. Victoria, on the other hand, liked how sincere Alexander was—holding her hand, smiling warmly, and making promises without saying a word.
