"Do you really want to see me marry her?" Harrison's voice cut through the silence.
A faint smile played on Selene's lips. "I wish you both a long and happy life together. Harrison, are you finally getting what you always wanted?"
The man's handsome face was a mask of ice, his words laced with a chilling frost. "Selene, don't you regret this."
"I won't," she told him. "I don't regret marrying you, and I don't regret divorcing you."
"H-Harrison," Felicity stammered, phone in hand. "I'm really going to post it!" Her attempt at a threat came out as a weak quiver.
Selene glanced at her. Felicity used to be so brazen with Harrison, treating him like an accessory, demanding his compliance, and whining when she didn't get her way. She had the guts to get pregnant with his child but now lacked the nerve to actually challenge him. Utterly useless.
"Get over here!" Harrison barked. Felicity flinched, shrinking further behind Selene, not even daring to look at him.
His voice dropped several degrees. "You want to be the lady of the Vaughn family? Fine."
"Really?" Felicity forgot to breathe. "Harrison, you're not just tricking me, are you? Luring me into a false sense of security so you can get rid of the baby later?"
A cold sneer escaped Harrison's nose. So, she'd finally grown a brain. "I will allow you to have the child. Is that enough for you?"
Felicity still didn't move. "Then announce our engagement. On your social media. Now."
His face was set like stone. He typed out the words, announcing his engagement to Felicity for all their friends and family to see. *Selene is provoking me,* he thought. *I will make her regret this.*

In the living room, Adrian refreshed his social feed and saw Harrison's post. A low chuckle rumbled in his throat. He looked up as Selene entered, his handsome face breaking into an even wider grin.
Selene knew exactly what he was so happy about. "Why are you so pleased about Harrison getting married?"
"I wasn't happy at all when *he* got married. I'm only happy now that he's getting *re*married." Adrian set his mug down on the coffee table. "I've been waiting for this day for a very long time."
