"What?" Kalina exclaimed, her eyes widening in shock. How had Mia found out? Had Dominique told her? Had her expression betrayed her? Was she really such a terrible actress?
"Don't play dumb with me, Kalina," Mia said, her expression remaining unreadable, adding to Kalina's growing sense of unease.
As her heart rate accelerated, Kalina found herself wishing that Joline, Nikolas, Lorenzo, or even Dominique would walk in and rescue her from Mia's relentless scrutiny. She wasn't sure how much longer she could withstand Mia's intense gaze without spilling the truth.
"I... I... he... we..." Kalina stammered, struggling to find the right words to respond.
"Come on, you have to tell me how you managed to make my ice prince of a brother fall head over heels for you," Mia said, her tone serious yet curious.
"What?!" Kalina spluttered, caught between feeling relieved and wanting to throttle her future sister-in-law—and potential new best friend.
