Chapter 8 - The Departure to Aspen
Darcy looked down at her weeping sister, her expression unbothered, untamed, and completely triumphant.
"You can't buy respect after you've destroyed a child's heart, Kelsey," Darcy said softly. "Enjoy finding a last-minute motel room."
Darcy turned to Ren, giving her a warm, bright smile. She picked up her daughter's small pink suitcase, adjusting her shoulder bag as they prepared to turn toward the luxury terminal entrance.
Kelsey grabbed at the air, her voice ragged and hoarse. "Where are you going?!"
Darcy leaned down slightly, looking dead into Kelsey's tear-filled eyes with a calm, confident smirk that radiated pure power.
"The trip is canceled," Darcy whispered in a cool, decisive tone. "Ren and I are making our own Christmas."
Darcy took Ren’s hand, and together, they walked smoothly past the hysterical group, heading straight toward the VIP lounge gate where their first-class flight to Aspen, Colorado was already preparing for priority boarding.
