Chapter 1049

Author: Faith Shaw
Micah's status was noble, yet he was willing to humble himself for the future of the Yaren tribe. He taught the villagers how to identify herbs, plant crops, and even educated the children.

During that time, he would bring gifts for the children, and sometimes, he would also bring a little something for Arin.

But that was just how Micah was. If he disliked someone, no matter what they did, they could never win his heart. If she went along with this plan, she would only ruin the image she had built in Micah's mind.

That would mean Micah would despise her forever, making it impossible for her to spend her life with him.

Still, Arin knew she had to play along for now.

Arin smiled and asked, "Out of all the women who like Micah, why did you choose me? I'm just a nobody with no background."

"Precisely because you're a nobody," the man replied. "No one would suspect you. Don't you want to keep Micah by your side forever? He's exceptional, and your child with him would have the best g

    Micah understood the situation clearly and called Joker over. "Take Arin to the lab for an examination."These people would stop at nothing to achieve their goals. Arin was brave and she had risked everything to deliver vital information.Arin took a shaky breath. "Teacher Micah, you don’t need to worry about me. I don’t need treatment right now.""Even if they find out, your safety is the top priority right now," Micah said sternly.Arin felt a warmth spread through her. Although Teacher Micah’s concern was likely just out of basic decency, she could not help but take comfort in it. After all, wasn't this a sign that he cared for her, even in some small way?Joker escorted Arin to the lab. After running tests, the scientists all shook their heads."This is a powerful poison. It’s an enhanced version of what Seth once developed. Now... there’s no cure."Micah’s expression darkened. "I thought Seth’s poisons were all eradicated?"As Seth was turned into a human swine and Phara

    Arin had taken Micah away from her using the same tactics she herself had used. If Arin had better methods, Freya would have accepted it, but this hurt deeply.Freya watched from a distance as Micah tenderly cared for Arin, patiently feeding her medicine and staying by her side until she fell asleep. It wasn’t until then that Micah finally left, only to lock eyes with Freya the moment he turned around.Micah pressed his lips together and said quietly, "Why are you here?"Freya glanced past him at Arin, lying on the bed. "It's not exactly a secret anymore."Rumors had spread across the Yaren Tribe about how Arin had risked her life to deliver crucial information to Micah. Some said Micah was so grateful he planned to cancel their wedding and marry Arin instead. Freya had come because those rumors made her feel like her world was crumbling.Micah could read all of this in her eyes. "She brought me the message, and I don't want her to die," he explained.That was Micah’s stance. Bey

    As soon as Micah said those words, he gave Freya a deep, intense look, and she immediately understood.Freya smiled knowingly. "It's alright. As long as I can support you, the wedding is just a formality."Micah gently patted her head, then leaned down and placed a soft kiss on her forehead. Freya's heart, usually so calm, rippled with emotion like a still lake touched by the wind.Once they agreed, the wedding was set for a week later. The announcement spread throughout the Yaren Tribe, followed by notifications to family and friends.Pharaoh hadn’t expected Micah to move so quickly this time and couldn’t help but tease him a bit. "When I brought it up with Nina and you before, you were so adamant that you didn’t want this. Now, look who’s changed their tune."Micah chuckled. It was true that he had contradicted himself. It just went to show that nothing was set in stone, and one should never speak in absolutes.Pharaoh added, "If you had your mind set on marriage, you should’ve

    After returning to Birkham, Scott had gone back to his family. Nina knew how he felt about her and remembered all he had done for her. Since then, she had only sent him a few messages but had never seen him again. Of course, Scott had never responded to any of those messages.Nina’s simple question was like a sharp knife to him. How could he have been doing well? When he returned to his family, they confiscated his phone. His time in the Yaren Tribe had left him broken, both physically and mentally. His freedom was restricted, and he was forced to recuperate. During that time, his family had arranged a wife for him, and now, he even had a child.Scott had avoided contacting Nina all these years because he feared losing control. After all, he no longer felt worthy of standing by her side.At this moment, it was as if an invisible hand tightened around his throat, making it impossible to speak. Nina could sense that something was wrong and wanted to say more when Nash approached.

    "Thank you."Scott really didn’t want to say those words. He didn’t want to thank Nina, and he certainly didn’t want to hear her wishing him well. But what choice did he have? This was the best ending they could hope for."I have a schedule to keep. Once I return, if there’s a chance for us to work together, we can catch up," Nina said with a polite smile."Okay."Scott watched her walk away. He felt his heart tighten with every step she took, until the pain became a monstrous beast, consuming him completely. As it turned out, some people were better off never meeting again.……Nina returned to Nash’s side, where he had bought her a cup of milk tea. Not only that, he had also taken care of Orion and her father. Orion got fries and fried chicken, while her father had a cup of tea. This time, Nash had brought Quincy along as well. Quincy had never been to the Yaren Tribe, so it was a chance to see the place and stay up to date with business matters.Quincy, being the worka

    Nina couldn’t resist teasing, "Once you’re married, you two should have kids soon. And when they’re born, you better let me spoil them!"Micah replied with a quick retort, "You’re not even in the Yaren Tribe anymore. Even Dad followed you to Birkham. How about you come back here? I’ll hire you for a high salary."He wasn’t just joking. Distance really was an issue. Though Nina had chosen to stay in Birkham, Micah secretly hoped she would stay in the Yaren Tribe. As her brother, he wanted to make up for lost time and ensure she was part of their lives.Nina understood the sincerity behind his words, but Nash, her adoptive parents and everything she had were in Birkham. She had no interest in managing the Yaren Tribe too.Smiling, she responded, "When Freya, my sister-in-law, has kids, I’ll come back to help take care of them."Though Micah had power and could easily hire someone to help after the baby was born, nothing beats having family close by.Freya’s eyes welled up with tear

    Pharaoh's expression remained as stern as before. Nina hadn’t expected to hear such devastating news. How could she possibly offer comfort, or what could she say? This just wasn’t the right time.Micah hadn’t anticipated this outcome either. He had been reassuring Arin all along, but now there was nothing that could be done to save her. Micah felt a deep sense of guilt as he walked over to her bedside."I’m sorry. You risked your life to deliver critical information to me, and I couldn’t save you," he said, his voice heavy with remorse.Arin, lying on the bed and ravaged by the poison in her body, still managed to force a smile when she saw Micah approach."It’s nothing special. Even if I hadn’t told you, you would have found out eventually," she said. She did not want him to feel burdened by guilt. Everything she did was of her own free will.Micah’s heart felt as though it was being squeezed by an invisible hand. Arin was in this condition because of him. If there was nothing

    "Freya, don't put too much pressure on yourself. I know you're going through a lot," Nina gently advised Freya.Freya quickly shook off her doubts, and the preparations for their wedding continued. Meanwhile, Micah used the distraction of the wedding festivities to lay a trap for those who had poisoned Arin.Micah was willing to show them mercy, but he had one condition. "If you want me to let you go, you must hand over the antidote for the poison you used."The wedding was grand and joyful, just as planned, and Micah's feigned happiness lured his enemies into a false sense of security. They became careless, thinking they had won. But when they finally made their move, Micah was ready, capturing them all.One of them sneered, "It’s been such a long time, and you have the most skilled poison expert, Pharaoh, by your side. Tell me, do you think there’s an antidote for that poison?"If the antidote existed, Pharaoh would have already saved Arin. Now, with only a few days left to live

    But instead of feeling touched, Vera’s first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Vera’s face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. “Are you feeling sick?” “I don’t think so. I’ve been eating normally—nothing too heavy or weird lately.” Vera clutched her stomach, just as confused as he was. Then, a possibility flashed through her mind. Caleb clearly had the same thought. Without a word, he turned and walked into their bedroom, returning moments later with a pregnancy test. Vera looked at him, stunned. “When did you buy that?” He responded matter-of-factly, “Better safe than sorry.” Vera was momentarily speechless. Five minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom, her hand instinctively resting on her stomach, her expression a mix of shock and disbelief. It was positive. They had only been married for three months. How did this happen so fast?Caleb, on the other hand, remained composed—at le

    Of course, Vera wasn’t about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. “You’re twenty-five this year, right?” Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasn’t her age common knowledge? Why was Vera suddenly bringing it up? A thought struck her. Was this an arranged marriage situation? Her face immediately filled with silent refusal. “Miss Vera, I’m still young. I’m not thinking about marriage anytime soon.” Vera tapped her pen against the desk. “I’m not telling you to get married.” “Oh.” “I just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You don’t have to run every minor document by me.”Her assistant instantly understood. A raise. After confirming she was on board, Vera gave her a salary bump and had her hire a few more assistants to distribute the workload. “If I don’t have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If something’s too complicated, jus

    Vera could sense danger the moment the conversation turned in this direction. Her father had never questioned her about married life, and she was lucky enough to avoid nosy relatives. But just because she hadn’t experienced it firsthand didn’t mean she hadn’t seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. “I... uh, need to use the restroom.” Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. “You and Caleb aren’t getting any younger,” she said matter-of-factly. “You should start thinking about kids—make sure you’re putting in the effort, hmm?” Vera left the kitchen visibly drained. Mrs. Smith was a wonderful mother-in-law, the kind who treated Vera like her own daughter. Despite knowing Vera came from a well-off family, she had still gifted them a house as a wedding present. Of course, Caleb already owned a place, but his mother had insisted. “That’s your house. This is the home I’m giving you as a weddi

    That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Caleb’s gaze—subtle yet impossible to ignore. It was the kind of look a powerful man might give his beloved in an old Hollywood film. And right now, the photographer felt like the unlucky bystander who had accidentally stumbled upon an intimate scene. His voice wavered slightly, caught up in his own imagination. “Mr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.” Caleb’s sharp gaze flickered over, intense and commanding. The photographer instinctively pressed the shutter. They continued with several more poses, reviewing the shots as they went. Vera loved them all, but her favorite was still the vintage-inspired one. “How long until we get the final prints?” she asked. “Two to three days at most,” the photographer replied. “I’ll have them shipped directly to you.” Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. “I actually have a personal favor to ask—would you both be open to letting us displa

    Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photos—several sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasn’t just any photo studio. It was privately booked and known for being one of the most prestigious studios in the city. Appointments here were nearly impossible to get. The fact that Caleb had managed to secure a session meant he had gone to great lengths to make it happen. If they were just going to take ordinary wedding pictures, it would be a waste of an opportunity. Still, she wasn’t sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. “You can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles we’ve done.” Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning concepts—each picture more breathtaking than the last. Then, one particular set caught her eye. A Golden Age Hollywood theme.It was classic, nostalgic, and beautifully atmospheric. “Ca

    After the wedding, Vera considered taking some time off for a honeymoon. But the thought quickly faded when she realized Caleb had been practically living at the hospital. With a sigh, she dismissed the idea. She was used to it, but to say she wasn’t disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. “Mrs. Smith, don’t you want to go on a honeymoon?” she asked one day. “One of my friends just got married, and she’s been obsessively researching destinations. “She even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.” Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. “Why don’t you go visit Dr. Smith at work?“You seem… distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.” Vera snapped out of her daze, suddenly aware of how preoccupied she had been lately. It was embarrassing to admit, but she had been zoning out far too often—especially after coming hom

    Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonight—he didn’t hold back at all. He took her from the bedroom to the bathroom, then back to the bed, his searing kisses trailing every inch of her skin. The next morning, even as she woke up, Vera could still feel the lingering traces of last night’s intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasn’t until two days later that she finally returned to work. *Everyone at the company had already prepared for this. The moment Vera walked into the office, she was greeted with knowing smiles and teasing remarks. “Congratulations, Mrs. Smith!” “Newlywed bliss, huh?” “Three whole days off? Someone had a good time.” It didn’t take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally well—so well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

    Yelena still hadn’t accepted Hunter, but he wasn’t giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelena’s soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friend’s love life wasn’t something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. “She came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,” he had mentioned casually. “Hunter was the one who brought her.” Vera had clicked her tongue at the news. Yelena always seemed quiet and reserved, but apparently, she was full of surprises.*Time flew by in the blink of an eye.By mid-month, Caleb had rented out an entire vineyard and spent several days transforming it into the perfect wedding venue.When the day arrived, the celebration took place right there.The vineyard was sprawling and elegant, every bit as grand as any luxury hotel—if not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

    “Did you plan this from the start?” Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. “Mm.” Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yes—he had always been planning this. The biggest change in Vera’s life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasn’t just any ring. It was custom-made, something Caleb had specially ordered. She only found out by accident when she glanced at his phone one day and saw the purchase record. It had been ordered two months ago. Vera did the math and was stunned. He had been preparing for this long before she even started getting impatient. Her heart swelled with emotion. And as soon as Caleb’s parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Caleb’s mother lecturing him. “Your dad and I weren’t expecting much from you.
