CHAPTER 38

　　Minerva’s POV

　　I knew this was going to happen.

　　         I look at the people around me. Even Darwin’s eyes…I can’t. I can’t even look him in the eye.

　　         Did he really fall for his stepmother’s clown show again?

　　         Well, I can’t blame him. Blood is thicker than water. And considering my status, I am not a real family member yet. I am not a Gray after all.

　　         “You’re Darwin’s fiancée right?”

　　         This woman came to me without even introducing herself.

　　         I looked at her from head to toe, assessing her. Her sunflower-printed bikini matches her skin tone, not bad. She has a nice body and lovely face. I wonder if those are all natural or ‘crafted’ by a professional.

　　         “Yes,” I said with a chin up. “And who are you?”

　　         She seems to smirk at my tone of voice. “I am Lyla Roberts, Darwin’s former secretary.”
