Chương 33: Chapter 33 - Vivi's POV

The dazzling lights of the charity event cast a warm glow over the elegantly decorated hall. Laughter and lively conversations hum in the background, blending with the soft clinking of crystal glasses. Yet, amidst the splendor, my mind is far away. Marcus is back. He must be back by now, and the thought of him tugs at my heart, drawing me away from the glittering event to a place I'd rather be—with him.

I offer a polite smile to the guests at my table and excuse myself, feigning an urgent need for the restroom. My heels click against the marble floor as I make my way to the lavish powder room. The mirror reflects a woman who looks picture-perfect. Mia's magic has transformed me tonight—my skin glows with a radiant sheen, my eyes shimmer with a touch of gold, and my hair cascades in soft waves, framing my face like a halo. But beneath the flawless exterior, my heart races.
