"Did you hear? Is it true Sidney Price is actually coming to this celebration?" a woman in a glittering gown, dripping with jewels, whispered eagerly to her companion, who nodded with a sly smile. "Oh, I'm certain of it."
"But—aren't they enemies?" The woman's voice dropped to a scandalized hush. "Sidney Price and Aiden Hawk—sworn enemies, right?"
"Shh!" The companion glanced around quickly, relishing the drama. "Of course they are! But...Madam Hawk is Sidney's mentor, so…"
The woman's eyes widened with delight. "You're telling me Mabel Hawk actually groomed her own grandson's biggest rival? That's why they hate each other so much? This is so delicious.."
"Hush! No. That is not the reason. Or atleast the only reason. There is a woman involved..."
"What? Are you saying that they were love rivals as well?"
"Will you please keep it down? Or have you forgotten that we are here for the welcoming party of Aiden Hawk? How can you talk about his past at a moment like this."
