Chapter 8. A New Life, A New Reality
A new day began, and it was Monday. Maria had now started living with Bernard and his parents.
Everything her parents once owned had been passed on to Bernard, leaving her with no place to go. And since he had chosen her as his mate, she had no choice but to stay with him.
All her belongings... clothes, books, and other school essentials, had been moved to Bernard’s family house, making it easy for her to prepare for college.
She was almost done getting ready in the room she was given when a knock sounded on the door.
"Come in," she responded, adjusting her bag over her shoulder.
The door opened, and a maid stepped in.
"Good morning, Miss. I am here to inform you that the vehicle taking you to school is already waiting outside," the maid, Angela, said politely.
Maria gave a small nod and a forced smile to acknowledge her words. The moment she responded, Angela bowed slightly and exited the room, closing the door behind her.
Taking a deep breath, Maria picked up her bag and whispered to herself.
"Maria, just relax and watch everything return to normal." She exhaled before stepping out of the room.
Upon reaching the living room, she found it empty. But as soon as she stepped outside, she spotted Bernard waiting for her in the car.
