Seth craved power, and over the years, he realized more and more that Sally and he were not on the same path. Moreover, Miranda was just a love-struck fool, completely immersed in her infatuation. Initially, he intended to use Miranda one last time, but Nash and Micah ruined his plans. No, he hadnโt achieved his goals yet. He couldnโt die here, and he refused to spend the rest of his life on the run.Seth hung up on Sally and made a quick decision. If he couldn't make it in the Yaren tribe, he would seek out the allied forces.As he took a few steps forward, he noticed there were no footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw Wes still standing there, staring blankly.Seeing Wes's dazed expression, Sethโs anger flared. "What are you standing there for? Do you have a death wish?"Seth could see Wes's feelings for Miranda with just one glance. A man aiming for greatness shouldn't be tied down by emotions. And right now, Wes was the only one left by his side.Head hung low, like

Nina did not wake up at first, so Wilfred kept talking in her ear, repeating his words over and over until she finally opened her eyes. She saw Wilfred in front of her, and clarity returned to her gaze. "Wilfred, where... where are we?"Wilfred did not immediately answer. His lips were pressed into a thin line. When he had first reunited with Nina, he thought she had lost her memory and forgotten their past. But now he realized something more troubling. Her memories were distorted."We're in a cave," he finally said. "You have a fever, and I couldn't keep moving with you. Nina, look at me. I have something important to tell you."Wilfred released Nina but kept a firm grip on her shoulders, his seriousness making her recognize the gravity of the situation. "What do you need to tell me?" she asked, seeing the weight of his expression.After a moment of silence, Wilfred began, He recounted the details. When he was enduring unbearable torture, Nina appeared, dressed in a spotless w

Moreover, Wilfred was risking his life to escape with her. He would not lie to her, but this only confirmed that she was Ivy. Any remaining illusions were shattered. She was Micah's sister, the Pharaoh's daughter. The Yaren tribe had committed so many atrocities, and they were enemies of Nash and his people.At this moment, she felt a lump in her throat, unable to describe her emotions."Ivy, I didn't want to tell you all this, but I couldn't let you remain trapped in someone else's memories," Wilfred said, gently stroking her head. He truly cared for her and only wanted the best for her, even if her heart belonged to Nash. For him, her well-being was all that mattered.Nina suddenly remembered the arguments she had with Nash about Zac. Realizing now that Zac never existed. It was either a figment of her imagination or someone else's memory.This realization was crushing. It wasn't empathy, it felt like a mental illness!Covering her face with her hands, tears streamed down her

Nash didn't respond immediately. After a few seconds, he slowly said, "This is Nina's decision."Ignoring Nash, Micah walked over to the Pharaoh. While the Pharaoh was unconscious, Micah removed the mask from his face, revealing a long scar that had been hidden for years. This scar, which Micah had only seen once as a child, was the reason the Pharaoh always wore a mask in public.Micah had gathered the tribe's best medical minds and laboratory experts. His only goal now was to wake the Pharaoh as soon as possible. Three hours later, the Pharaoh regained consciousness. He immediately noticed the absence of his mask and the familiar weight it usually imparted on his face."Where is Seth?" the Pharaoh roared in anger. He had trusted Seth completely, and now Seth had betrayed him and even removed his mask.Micah scoffed softly. "You still want to see Seth? Are you really so short on reliable people?"The Pharaoh followed the voice, finally seeing Micah safe and sound, and let o

"Youโre very weak right now. I don't know what drugs Seth used on you, but you've spent years in the lab. You'll have to deal with your own health." Micah threw out these words and turned to leave."But wait! You still haven't told me where Nina is," the Pharaoh called after him, his heart heavy with worry. "Did something happen to her?"Micah paused, his face unreadable. "Do you remember Wilfred?"The Pharaoh nodded gravely. "Of course. He was my most successful creation."Wilfred had been turned into a healer by the Pharaoh. Although Wilfred had escaped, the Pharaoh had continually searched for him, despite the constant warfare that limited his resources.The Pharaoh's brows furrowed. "Is Wilfred after Ivy now? And what about the girl pretending to be Ivy?""You should be glad Ivy is different from you. She has managed to survive. When Seth started his rebellion, Wilfred took Ivy and fled," Micah replied.Now that it was clear Nina was Ivy, Micah had started calling her by her

Nina was the first to notice the figure standing at the entrance. The sunset glow bathed him in a golden light, making him look radiant. It was Scott!Instinctively, Nina pushed away Wilfred and tried to walk towards Scott, but her legs felt like they were made of lead."Scott," she murmured. Wilfred stayed close to her, ready to catch her if she stumbled.Scott noticed Nina too. He had overheard someone mentioning her to Nash over the phone and had followed the directions to find her. Seeing her now, she matched the image he had in his mind. She was beautiful. Bits and pieces of memories flitted through his mind, but he couldnโt quite grasp them.Nina saw the clarity in Scottโs eyes, and memories of searching for him in the slave camp flashed back. Scott had lost his past.Nina turned to Wilfred. "Wilfred, can you help him remember his memories?"If a person lost their past, their entire life would feel empty. Nina believed it was cruel for Scott to forget everything, includin

"Call me Nina," she said.Before, it was just a name, and she had not spent much time with Wilfred. She did not know that Ivy was the Pharaoh's daughter's name. Now that she knew, a sense of powerlessness overwhelmed her."I've always called you Ivy. From the moment I met you, you were Ivy. Even though you're Nina now, Ivy, no one can change your past. We are born with many things beyond our control, but we must strive to understand them fully," Wilfred said, looking at her.Understand fully? Nina wanted to laugh but could not."I know about the Pharaoh and his followersโhow they killed, burned, and looted, and how he turned you into this! He did it all for his own selfish desires."The scenes Nina had witnessed played in her mind like movie clips, one after another. She could not imagine how she had survived in the Yaren tribe as Ivy."I'm tired, Wilfred. I want to sleep. When Nash comes back, wake me up." She turned over and lay back on the camp bed.Wilfred stayed by her side

Nina couldn't bring herself to say what she felt, but Nash understood.He cupped Nina's face and kissed her deeply, as if trying to merge her into his own body. But at the critical moment, he pulled away."Rest here for a few days. I'll arrange everything for your departure.""Alright," Nina replied, breathless, watching Nash leave the tent.Nash had further preparations to make. Deploying forces for Nina's sake had convinced the Yaren tribe to surrender, but it had also led to disciplinary action against him. He was now on three days' suspension.Unable to explain everything to Nina himself, Nash sent James to update her on the situation.Nina understood. However, she hadn't seen Scarlett yet."Where's Scarlett?" she asked instinctively."She's in another tent, Ms. Nina. Don't worry, she's doing well. Captain has enlisted her as a soldier to help her regain some of her memories through muscle memory training.""Take me to her.""Of course," James said, leading the way.With

But instead of feeling touched, Veraโs first reaction was nausea. A wave of discomfort surged up from her stomach, and Veraโs face paled. She bolted for the bathroom. Caleb followed quickly. โAre you feeling sick?โ โI donโt think so. Iโve been eating normallyโnothing too heavy or weird lately.โ 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. โWhen did you buy that?โ He responded matter-of-factly, โBetter safe than sorry.โ 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 composedโat le

Of course, Vera wasnโt about to dump all her responsibilities on her assistant. That would be exploitation. She called her assistant into her office. โYouโre twenty-five this year, right?โ Her assistant blinked, confused. Wasnโt 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. โMiss Vera, Iโm still young. Iโm not thinking about marriage anytime soon.โ Vera tapped her pen against the desk. โIโm not telling you to get married.โ โOh.โ โI just want to offload some of the smaller daily tasks to you. You donโt have to run every minor document by me.โHer 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. โIf I donโt have time to handle everything, you guys will take care of it. If somethingโs 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 hadnโt experienced it firsthand didnโt mean she hadnโt seen it happen to others. Without hesitation, she abandoned the half-folded pastry in her hands. โI... uh, need to use the restroom.โ Before she could escape, Mrs. Smith caught her wrist. โYou and Caleb arenโt getting any younger,โ she said matter-of-factly. โYou should start thinking about kidsโmake sure youโre putting in the effort, hmm?โ 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. โThatโs your house. This is the home Iโm giving you as a weddi

That undeniable possessiveness flickered in Calebโs gazeโsubtle 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. โMr. Smith, lift your eyes toward the camera.โ Calebโs 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. โHow long until we get the final prints?โ she asked. โTwo to three days at most,โ the photographer replied. โIโll have them shipped directly to you.โ Then, after a slight pause, he hesitated before making a request. โI actually have a personal favor to askโwould you both be open to letting us displa

Vera was tempted. They had already taken plenty of wedding photosโseveral sets at the island, more at the wedding itself. But this wasnโt 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 wasnโt sure what kind of shoot she wanted. The photographer, understanding her hesitation, pulled out a sample album. โYou can take a look at our past work. These are some of the styles weโve done.โ Flipping through the pages, Vera saw an array of stunning conceptsโeach 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. โCa

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 wasnโt disappointed would be a lie. Her assistant picked up on it. โMrs. Smith, donโt you want to go on a honeymoon?โ she asked one day. โOne of my friends just got married, and sheโs been obsessively researching destinations. โShe even said a marriage without a honeymoon is already half a failure.โ Vera froze mid-page, suddenly losing interest in the documents she had been reviewing. Her assistant hesitated, then offered a suggestion. โWhy donโt you go visit Dr. Smith at work?โYou seemโฆ distracted. Maybe seeing him will help.โ 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 oftenโespecially after coming hom

Whenever they did this in the past, Caleb always maintained some restraint. But tonightโhe didnโt 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 nightโs intoxicating pleasure. As expected, she ended up taking the day off. It wasnโt 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. โCongratulations, Mrs. Smith!โ โNewlywed bliss, huh?โ โThree whole days off? Someone had a good time.โ It didnโt take a genius to figure out what she had been up to. Obviously, her married life was going exceptionally wellโso well that she had completely abandoned work for it. Under the weight of their mischievous stares, Vera barely k

Yelena still hadnโt accepted Hunter, but he wasnโt giving up either and was relentlessly closing in on her. Knowing Yelenaโs soft heart, Vera figured it was only a matter of time before she gave in. She let out a sigh. Her friendโs love life wasnโt something she could interfere with. Besides, Caleb had already given her a little inside scoop. โShe came to the hospital for a follow-up a few days ago,โ he had mentioned casually. โHunter was the one who brought her.โ 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 hotelโif not better. Even the wine cellar remained untouched, stocked with years-

โDid you plan this from the start?โ Vera narrowed her eyes, feeling like she had just walked into a carefully laid trap. โMm.โ Caleb smiled, then leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. Because yesโhe had always been planning this. The biggest change in Veraโs life after the island proposal was the ring now sitting on her finger. It wasnโt 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 Calebโs parents heard that their son had finally proposed, they wasted no time pushing them to get the marriage license. *One day, Vera overheard Calebโs mother lecturing him. โYour dad and I werenโt expecting much from you.
