Seared deep into her heart.

Outside, through the partially open door, Vivian Yardley stood with a grim expression, her sullen eyes burning with crimson jealousy.
Raina Lynn crossed her arms, a faint smile playing on her lips. "You should consider my previous suggestion. Secure the man first, then win his heart. Otherwise, all you'll ever do is watch in envy."
Vivian Yardley didn't respond to Raina Lynn, but a flicker of hesitation appeared in her cold eyes.

After the banquet ended, Laura Lowell said her goodbyes and left with Aiden Shaw.
