The hue of violet embodied a love that was steadfast and everlasting. As the auctioneer presented the item to Evelyn, he showered her with blessings such as "happily ever after" and "everlasting affection". Clara seethed with anger, her clenched jaw almost causing her teeth to shatter. Evelyn splurged a staggering 20 million dollars throughout the auction. Her gift boxes were piled up high like a mountain. Ezra snapped a photo and teasingly sent it to Warren with a caption, "Looks like your lady is quite the spendthrift. Aren't you going to rein her in? Check out her shopping spree!" Soon after, Warren replied, "It's not your money, so what's the concern?" Chuckling to himself, Ezra shook his head. Warren was truly clueless. Once in love, he transformed into a devoted husband, even surpassing Ezra himself. As the auction concluded, a charity dinner ensued, and Evelyn arranged for the items to be delivered directly to her home. Observing the deferential treatment Evelyn re
Warren felt a sense of fulfillment wash over him during his meeting as he read a message from Ezra.Finally, someone was putting his hard-earned money to use. With a wife who loved to shop, he knew he had to work harder. A rare smile softened his usually stern countenance as he thought about it.However, to his dismay, he didn't receive any credit card alerts even after the meeting adjourned. Warren had entrusted Evelyn with an unlimited black card linked to his account. Could it be that she hadn't touched his money after all? With this nagging thought, Warren promptly dialed Evelyn's number. Unfortunately, he was met with silence on the other end. Frustrated, he then called Ezra. As soon as the call connected, a clamor of cheers echoed in the background. "Are you still with Evelyn? Why isn't she picking up?" Warren inquired. Ezra chuckled in response. "Why isn't she picking up? She and Tammy are enjoying a performance by a handsome singer." He then angled the camera to r
"Alright, come over after the call," Tammy replied. Evelyn sat alone in a quiet corner, engrossed in typing a message to Warren on her phone. Before long, a man with striking blue earrings eased onto the sofa beside her. He offered a smile as he glanced at her. "Ms. Jefferson, mind if I join you?" he asked. Raising an eyebrow, Evelyn maintained her cool demeanor. "Mr. Waltz, what brings you here?" The man was Zachary Waltz, the second heir of the Waltz family. He was known across Bramston City as a notorious playboy. Rumor had it he had slept with enough women to circle the entire city perimeter. Zachary raised his glass, a playful smirk on his lips. "I have a case I'd like your help with. Do you have a moment to discuss it?" Evelyn wasted no time in her response. "It's my break time, and I'm not taking on any cases. Come to my office on Monday." "Ms. Jefferson, you certainly carry yourself with confidence. Other lawyers are clamoring for the chance to take on this l
Clara struggled against the man's embrace, desperate to break free and flee. However, all she saw was Evelyn's smiling face and waving hand, followed by the heavy thud of the door slamming shut. Only then did Clara realize she had fallen into Evelyn's ploy. Evelyn had not been intoxicated at all. Clara had been nothing more than a pawn in Evelyn's intricate game. Anger boiled within Clara, fueling a desire to stab a knife into Evelyn's heart.Meanwhile, the man was eagerly ripping away Clara's clothing and pouncing on her like a wild beast in the darkness. Despite her pleas, he continued his relentless assault. Bound and helpless, Clara found herself pinned to the ground, enduring the ferocious onslaught like a helpless animal. The pain was unbearable.This twisted scenario had been Clara's attempt to orchestrate humiliation upon Evelyn. Aware of Zachary's longstanding interest in Evelyn, Clara had approached him for collaboration. She knew his promiscuous and perverse nature
Jazzie found her thighs numb from sitting too long on the garden steps earlier. With an unexpected tug from Ethan, her legs gave way, and she stumbled right into Ethan's arms. Her lips bumped into Ethan's fair and alluring collarbone, causing her to wince in pain as tears welled up in her eyes. "Why did you pull me? I'm skipping dinner to lose weight, don't you know?" Jazzie glared at Ethan with a hint of redness still present around her watery eyes. Her tender lips bore a split, with blood oozing from them. Seeing Jazzie's distress, Ethan didn't react with anger. Instead, he swiftly retrieved a tissue from his pocket and gently pressed it against her wounded lips. His tone softened considerably."It's alright if you don't want to eat. But why the anger? What have I done to upset you lately until you kicked me out of your house?" Jazzie snatched the tissue and shot him a fierce glare. "I find you annoying. Is that not allowed?" With that, she turned on her heel and stormed o
Jazzie swiftly waved her hand, remarking, "No, you might have mistaken me for someone else."Dr. Xavier, the director is looking for me. I should head over there now." Observing Jazzie's retreating figure, Brandon muttered, "I've seen her before, just can't recall where. Curse this fading memory, it's getting worse." Ethan chuckled teasingly, "It's best if your memory fades more so you can forget about my arranged marriage." "That won't happen. Jack is here, and I owe him an explanation. His granddaughter is in Bramston City now. I'll convince her to come and meet you to discuss the wedding date." "You can meet her yourself. I'm busy." With that, Ethan exchanged a few words with the nurse before heading back to his office. Jack stayed in the hospital for a few days, and Jazzie secretly visited and stole glances at him without drawing attention. She wanted to take another peek on the day he was to be discharged, but unexpectedly, she found Ethan standing in the ward. Jack r
"Yeah, I'm here.""When can I see you?"Her voice had a slight nasal tone, which made Warren's heart flutter."Babe, go to the balcony and check out the snow. Take a picture for me."Evelyn slowly got up from the couch and stood by the window. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked outside at the blanket of snow. Leaning against the window, she gazed at the snow-filled sky and sighed. "It's still snowing, Warren. I'm afraid we won't be able to see each other for Christmas."Warren chuckled softly. "Do you really want to see me?""Yes, very much.""Then open your eyes wide and look outside."Confused, Evelyn looked out the window. Suddenly, she saw tiny lights appearing in the snow. The lights gradually formed a large heart shape.Evelyn's eyes widened in surprise. Just then, colorful fireworks shot up from the snow, bursting in the snowy night sky. They bloomed like flowers, with petals falling like rain.Evelyn was stunned by the sight. Her throat was tight with emotion,
The world was an endless expanse of white, making Warren's features stand out even more sharply. His dark eyes were calm, and a deep emotion was hidden within his cool, composed expression.Looking up at Evelyn, Warren gently said, "Evie, before I fell in love with you, I never thought about marriage. I saw it as a burden, a constraint. I didn't believe that getting married would bring happiness."After a brief pause, he added, "But you changed that. You helped me out of that shadow and made me want someone for the first time. "I want you by my side. I want to share every beautiful moment of the future with you. Evie, will you marry me?"Evelyn's tears streamed down her face as she looked at Warren. He was usually so cold and proud, but now he was kneeling before her like a devout believer. His eyes were full of deep affection, waiting for her answer.For three years, this had been the moment she dreamed of. The scene she had imagined was unfolding before her very eyes.She
