CHAPTER TEN
28 CLUNY PARK ROAD, SINGAPORE
Kitty was floating on an inflatable lounger in the middle of her pool in an alluring oneshoulder
cutout Araks swimsuit when she heard the car returning to the house. She had
been waiting impatiently for the past hour, after sending a maid to the bookstore to buy a
whole stack of the new issue of Tattle, which had just been released this morning.
Kitty paddled her lounger over to the edge of the pool as the maid came rushing down

“Aaaahhh! What is this? This is the wrong issue!” Kitty screamed from her reclining

Kitty scrutinized the cover, where the headline read: LORDS OF THE JUNGLE: THE EARL AND
COUNTESS OF PALLISER.
“No! No! No! This can’t be real,” Kitty sat up on the lounger, tearing through the
magazine maniacally and getting the pages wet as she searched for her story. What
