Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe mask of civility crumbled away entirely as she said coldly, "Are you trying to play games with me, Zaria? Have you forgotten that I possess the power to expose that secret to your father? Or perhaps to your grandmother?" Zaria's expression changed immediately.
She fixed Tasha with an unwavering stare, her gaze crystallizing into pure ice as the seconds stretched between them.
Finally, she inhaled deeply and said, "Are you sure you want to take things this far? Consider your next moves with extrcaution. Crossingoffers you no advantages." Her voice hardened into steel. "Even if my father succumbs to your charms and desires a relationship with you, I will never agree to you two being together!" Tasha remained completely unmoved by Zaria's threatening words, her expression radiating pure contempt.
She released a sharp laugh. “You're giving yourself too much credit. Do you really think Elwood will refuse to be withjust because you say so?" Her words struck with surgical precision.

What do you think?" Zaria maintained her silence, her complexion retaining its pallid, sickly appearance that conveyed profound reluctance.
Noticing her silence, Tasha displayed no irritation. Instead, she said, "Wouldn't it prove more advantageous forto assthe role of Elwood's wife rather than allowing someone you don't know to claim that position? Considering our established relationship, once I becElwood's wife, the arrangement would benefit your interests. This is definitely a good deal for you. Wouldn't you agree?"
She directed a confident smile toward Zaria, her expression m radiating absolute certainty regarding the inevitable outcof their negotiation.
