Silas Grant and I are renowned in our social circle for being a loving couple. However, a month before our wedding, he calls everything off. He wants to marry the poor student that my parents have been sponsoring. I demand an explanation. He says to me, "Vivian will have to marry that cripple if I don't marry her. You're the kindest person I know, Serena. I'm sure you can understand why I'm doing this." "Fine, then," I say. Silas leans down to kiss my cheek. He holds me happily and says, "I knew you'd agree to this. Don't worry, okay? I'll divorce her once this matter is settled." I push him away lightly and wipe his saliva from my cheek. Then, I pull out an invitation from my pocket. He takes it. His smile freezes when he sees the names on the invitation.

I hurriedly apologized and offered to pay for the damages, but the man simply waved me off, as if he was in a rush.At the time, everything happened so fast that I didn't even get a good look at his face. Only now did I realize that the man was Levi."I had a crush on you from the moment I met you. But when I asked around, I found out you had a boyfriend of many years. I thought it was just bad timing and that fate was playing a cruel joke on me. So, all I could do was hope he treated you well."But then, not long ago, I heard your family was planning an arranged marriage for you. That's when I asked my parents to step in and… intervene."A shiver ran down my spine. My voice wavered as I asked, "And what did you mean when you said you lied to me?"Levi hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, "After your engagement with the Grant family fell apart, I heard your parents wanted to avoid another powerful family to keep you from being used as a pawn again."So, I had no choi
Dream's Over: Back to Reality Chapter 6
A woman, pale as a ghost and frail as a withered branch, burst into the room, sobbing.It took me a few seconds to recognize that she was Vivian.The last time I saw her, she was dressed in designer clothes, brimming with arrogance as she flaunted her happiness in front of me. But now, she looked nothing like the woman she used to be. Her clothes were in tatters, her cheeks were so sunken that they hollowed out her face, and she was trembling so badly that it seemed like she might collapse at any moment.It had only been half a month since Silas married her, and yet, she had already been reduced to this—pathetic, wretched, and resembling a dying woman grasping at her last chance.She fell to her knees before Silas, clutching the hem of his pants as tears streamed down her face. "Silas, I was wrong. Please… let's go back to what we had before, okay? I swear! I swear I won't lie to you again! Ah!"Before she could finish, Silas kicked her away with his face twisted in disgust. Viv

I spoke evenly, "Silas, the past is the past. I'm married to Levi now, and all I want is a peaceful life with him."Silas' eyes widened in disbelief. "But you barely know him! There's no way you would fall for him—not in this short of a time. You're just trying to get back at me!"The day I got married… It was you, wasn't it? Out of jealousy, you had the wedding gown and tiara taken away. Do you have any idea how humiliated I was?"Of course, I already knew. But wasn't this exactly what he deserved? And now—after everything—he suddenly remembered how much he cared about me?I met his gaze coldly. "Silas, I paid for those things myself. And let's not forget—the aquamarine gemstone on the tiara was my family's heirloom. Why should I have left them with you?""The day I took them back was the day I severed all ties with you. From now on, stay out of my life! There is nothing left between us!""I don't believe you! We have over ten years of history! You can't just stop loving me like

Because of Levi's words, laughter filled the air, wrapping the room in warmth and joy.Seeing the Harrison family so at ease with one another, I finally let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding."You guys should come visit Southbrook more often. Peter and I don't have much going on these days, so spend more time with us," Judy said.The Harrison family had two sons, yet they treated me like family—sometimes even better. And for that, I was endlessly grateful.…That afternoon, I accompanied Levi and his parents back to Southbrook.Nestled in the South region, Southbrook was a picture-perfect water town—quaint bridges arching over winding streams with ancient villages steeped in history. Its beauty was reminiscent of an ink painting, but in the rain? It was something out of a dream.I wandered through the town, taking in every little detail, when I turned and caught sight of Levi holding a portrait of me. Although the ink was still wet, the likeness was uncanny.I blinke

The Walker family's private lawyer attended Silas and Vivian's wedding on my behalf, bringing along his secretary. But they weren't there to offer blessings. They were there to take back what was mine.I'd already said it once—my things didn't come so easily.I spared the farce a passing glance before signaling the driver to keep going.An hour later, I arrived in Southbrook City. Waiting for me was Derrick Harrison—Levi Harrison's younger brother.He was wild and full of energy. The moment he saw me, he threw out a warning. "Treat Levi well."Then, as if realizing he might've overstepped, he quickly switched tactics, flashing a grin and calling me lovely, well-mannered, and smart—the exact type Levi liked.To be honest, I hadn't even met Levi yet. Because of his health, he had sent Derrick in his place.After stepping out of the wedding car, Derrick led me to the room the Harrison family had prepared for me and Levi.As the door swung open, the first thing I saw was a man—tone

The elevator doors slid open, and the moment I turned around, I locked eyes with Silas. His gaze was burning with anger. "Serena, did you just hand in your resignation?"I barely spared him a glance before pressing the button to close the doors.Silas shoved his way in before they could shut completely. "You know the company is in a critical growth phase, and we're nearing the end of the year. Where am I supposed to find someone to replace you now?""You have Vivian, don't you?"He'd sung her praises more times than I could count, saying how competent and reliable she was. Well, now was the perfect chance for me to back off.A flicker of hesitation crossed his face before he finally spoke, "Vivian's good, but the company still needs you."Are you still mad? Serena, I've told you—marrying her was just to keep up appearances for her parents. I promise I'll divorce her once everything's settled."I'd heard of this exhausting excuse too many times to count.Just then, the elevato

"Serena… What is this… supposed to mean?" Silas asked."It's all there on the wedding invitation."I met Silas' gaze with an unreadable expression, offering no further explanation.He turned the wedding invitation over in his hands, scanning it again and again, before letting out a cold chuckle. "Really, Serena? Is this your idea of a joke?"You're quite the actress, huh? Choosing the same wedding date as mine and your groom is even... Levi Harrison, that cripple. "I know you're still upset, but I've told you. I helped Vivian out of a difficult situation. Once everything is settled, I'll divorce her. Is it really so hard for you to understand?"Before I could respond, a soft knock sounded at the door.Vivian Turner stepped in with her eyes rimmed with red."Silas, maybe we should just forget about all this. It's fine… I can marry Levi. It's just that I…" She trailed off, and her face was etched with quiet sorrow.Silas' gaze softened after seeing her pitiful expression. He st
