Cassie had heard through her social circle about Harlees less-than-joyful life with the Gill family.
Still, she masked her sympathy, knowing Harlee would dislike being pitied.

But things were different now.

Besides, Cassie knew Belinda didnt see her as family, so she saw no reason to protect Belindas reputation. Could you tellmore about Belinda? Harlee asked, her gaze refocusing on Cassie.
With a smile, Cassie changed the subject.
Harlee, may I inquire about Rhys? Harlee nodded in agreement.
Do you truly care for him? Cassies voice was tinged with concern.
Without a moments delay, Harlee responded, Yes, very much so. She was as open about her feelings as Rhys was about his love for her.

I cant fully commit to someone unless I accept all parts of their life.

When Belinda joined the Garcia family, she insisted on keeping her first nunchanged, so they only altered her surname.
Later, she held back from changing her nfully, wary of the Garcias judgment, until she married Jose.
Freed from their influence, she adopted Belinda, a nshe deemed more sophisticated.
Belindas insecurity led her to elevate herself above criticism and control her narrative.
At social events, Belinda needed to stand out, always ensuring she was seated in the place of honor, unless the host was present.
Cassie had revealed much about Belinda, and Harlee quickly grasped that Belinda was selfish, insecure, vain, ungrateful, and self-absorbed.
Besides her potential for violence, it seemed Belinda embodied nearly every defect imaginable. Cassie, weary from the speech about Belinda, drank her coffee elegantly.
She noticed Harlee looking a bit overwhelmed and felt it was best to leave sthings unsaid.
