Chapter 6
When Rebecca woke up, her head was pounding. Felt like a fever.
Somehow Loki, Darth, and Anton heard about it and rushed over.
She was sick for three days. They visited every day, practically moving into the Gadot mansion- but barely spent any time with her.
Most hours, they were downstairs with Ariana. Teaching her piano, joining her in the garden to trim
roses, taking her photos…
Rebecca saw it all but said nothing.
Occasionally they’d check on her upstairs, noticing things missing from her room.
“Rebecca, where’s that pearl doll I gave you a few years ago?”
Darth frowned. “And the gemstone tiara I got you? You loved it so much you used to display it front
and center. What happened to it?”
“What about our group photo from our 18th birthday? Where’d you hide it?”
She brushed off their questions with vague excuses.
Though confused, they didn’t press the issue.
By her birthday, she had mostly recovered.
Before the party, her parents came to get her, pulling her aside for a private word.
“Everyone important will be there tonight – the Hemsworths, Madisons, Frasers. Your father and I think it’s the perfect time to announce your engagement. What do you think?”
Rebecca was about to nod when she heard glass shattering behind her.
She turned to see Ariana standing there, face drained of color,
“Miss Gadot… you’re getting married?”

Rebecca gave a slight nod without explanation.
Everyone would know soon enough anyway.
At seven o’clock sharp, the birthday party kicked off. The hall was packed with guests and buzzing with energy.
The moment Loki, Darth, and Anton walked in together in their tailored suits, all eyes in the room
turned to them.
“God, I’m so jealous of Miss Gadot. Three insanely hot childhood friends, and she gets to pick one to
marry? When will I ever get that lucky?”
“What’s the point of being jealous? That match was promised years ago. Whoever she chooses,
they’re perfectly matched in status and wealth.”
“Isn’t Rebecca at that marrying age now? Think she’ll announce it tonight? I swear, I’m dying to
know who she chose!”
Rebecca listened to the whispers with a face of perfect calm.
But the three men heard the same gossip and panicked. They rushed to her side.
‘Rebecca, you’re announcing your engagement tonight? Why didn’t you tell us?” Loki demanded.
‘It’s my personal business. Didn’t think I owed you anything.” she replied coolly.
Their voices turned sharp with irritation.
‘Come on, seriously? You’re saying this has nothing to do with us? Who else would you even marry? Cut the drama, Rebecca. Just say it–who did you pick?”
[ust then, Rebecca’s parents stepped onto the center of the stage, nodding graciously to the crowd as
they took the microphone.
‘Thank you all for being here tonight to celebrate our daughter’s birthday. On behalf of the Gadot family, we extend our deepest gratitude. And tonight, besides celebrating her birthday, we have another joyous announcement to share–our daughter Rebecca’s fiancee.”
The ballroom exploded in applause.
The most enthusiastic were the elders of the Fraser, Madison, and Hemsworth families. They stood

up and gestured for Anton, Darth, and Loki to join them.
Their stomachs sank as their names were called.
But protocol demanded composure. They forced smiles and walked back to their families.
Rebecca’s parents signaled to her. And she lifted her gown slightly and moved to stand beside them.
Just as she took her place, a loud burst of static cut through the noise.
Everyone turned.
The massive screen behind them lit up, a familiar face appearing on the giant screen.
It was Ariana, sobbing hard to watch.
