Revenge is My Love Language novel Chapter 31

For a brief, breathless moment, the entire ballroom fell silent. Every pair of eyes snapped to the grand entrance.

There, at the center of their attention, was a young woman making her way inside with effortless grace.

Her eyes glittered like cut glass, clear and striking. Delicate features framed her face, soft as a rose in bloom. She wore a lake-blue evening gown, the hem sparkling with tiny crystals that shimmered with each step—like she was trailing a river of stars behind her.
