Bab 150: Chapter 150

Poppy was in a private room in her parents' vineyard banquette hall in Italy getting ready for the engagement party and totally distraught. After she helped Apple to escape the hands of the Serpent, she had to work overtime to convince Jaxson she was willing to marry him, going so far as actually pretending to like him, even though when he was out of sight she's cry uncontrollably.

The whole thing was a nightmare from the things she, Luke, and Remi had witnessed over the past couple of months.  The only good thing was she bought herself a little time and convinced Jaxson to hold the wedding off until June.

It was New Year's Eve and getting close to midnight. Poppy fell into her father's arms, crying. "Daddy, I don't want to do this. I know I promised I'd do it, but I just have this feeling something's off. Jaxson is the worst."

"Baby, I thought you were okay with this."
