All she could hear were the voices of her neighbor and the news anchor repeating the same devastating words: Wave is dead.The ex-wife of Lucas Wells had been arrested as the primary suspect.Reaching Wave's favorite place, which was close to a cliff, Violet fell to her knees.“Nooo!” she yelled, tears pouring down uncontrollably.“No, please,” she screamed repeatedly, her voice echoing in the emptiness. Her family was everything to her, and now, they were falling apart. She couldn’t believe the nightmare her life had become.Unable to bear the loss, she moved toward the edge of the cliff, despair clouding her mind. She wanted to end it all. Her mother was going to be locked away for the rest of her life, her brother and unborn child were gone, and her husband had ended their marriage. The crushing weight of her losses made death seem like the only escape
Chapter 7“What!” Selena, visibly angry, stormed out of the room. "So, from what Violet is saying, Grandfather set this all up with his conditions. Why would he make such a condition?" she mumbled angrily."I'll go meet him; he will answer to me!" she declared as she walked out of the building.***“Father! Father!” Selena yelled as she walked into the mansion. "Father!" she called again, making her way through the house until she noticed an open room with a shadow cast across it."Father?" she whispered as she stepped into the room.“Arghhhh! Father!” Selena screamed upon seeing her father's lifeless body, with Alfred kneeling beside him.“Alfred! What the hell did you do to my father?” Selena shouted, tears streaming down her face.Alfred, startled by Selena’s voice, snapped out of his shock. "I d-didn't kill him, Ms. Selena. I…”“Stop! Don’t come any closer,” she half-yelled, sobbing."Then who did?" she demanded, terrified.Alfred, unable to explain, continued inching toward her, b
Chapter 6An hour later, Selena walked into her house with Wave, who instantly ran inside, jumping around. Weird, she thought, alarmed as she noticed the door was open. She walked further into the house. "Wave, Wave!" she called out. "Wave, please come!" she said cautiously, walking forward. Just as she was about to call for him again, she spotted Violet lying lifeless in a pool of blood."Violet!" she screamed. "Violet, what happened?" She dialed the emergency number unconsciously, her mind scattered, unable to think clearly.The ambulance arrived, and as Violet was lifted inside, Selena joined them, still shaken. While they head to the hospital, she called Penelope to come look after Wave, knowing he was home alone."Hey," Penelope answered."Penelope, please come over and look after Wave. He’s home alone, and there's an emergency with Violet," Selena said, her voice breaking with tears."Ma, I won’t be able to. I'm actually out of the city.""What?" Selena responded, barely hearing
Chapter 5Alex got home to find Violet already asleep. He quietly took his dinner and went to bed. The next day, Violet pretended as if everything was normal. She acted cool and casual, and the two of them were getting along well. Time went on, and a month passed. During that month, Alex and Violet grew closer. He took her out on dates and showed her a side of himself he had long buried. Though he wasn’t fully open, it was clear she was the only person he had allowed to come this close.“Alex, I hope you won’t be gone longer than a week,” Violet said, making a cute face that made Alex laugh.“Yes, Violet, I won’t. I’ll close the deal before the week runs out, and soon I’ll be home.”“Promise me,” she replied, holding out her pinky finger. Recently, Violet had noticed she couldn’t help but feel more emotional around him.Observing her emotional changes, Alex chuckled. “I guess we’ve grown on each other,” he thought.As Alex left in his car, she waved him goodbye. Walking into the now-e
CHAPTER 4 The dining room was filled with shocked expressions."Violet, what did you just say?" Selena, Violet's mother, asked, still in disbelief."Mom," Violet replied, forcing a smile. "I said, meet my husband." She held up her ring finger to display the ring Alex had just given her before they walked into the dining room.Her grandfather stared blankly, while Lucas and his wife exchanged disbelieving glances. Violet nudged Alex forward as they reached the table, then turned to her grandfather. "Grandpa, meet Alex Vanguard, my husband."Alex extended his hand to greet her grandfather, who accepted it. "Alex…" the elder began."Vanguard," Alex confirmed confidently."And how did you meet my granddaughter?" her grandfather asked."We met about three months ago in a coffee shop," Alex replied politely. "Sir, I know our wedding was rushed and perhaps not properly celebrated, but I wanted it to be quieter and simpler. Please don’t hold any fault against her."“Hmm,” her grandfather rep
Chapter 3"Let's get married today," Violet said on the other end of the line."I thought we agreed on Saturday—three days from now?""Are you getting cold feet?" she teased, giggling. "Look, I don’t want my family to know, so is it possible we could just get married today?""Well… how about tomorrow? I’ll set a meeting for us with my lawyer today to finalize the deal.""Alright, call me when you’re ready."***The next morning, Violet met with Alex and his lawyer."Miss, these are the contract papers," the lawyer said, laying out a stack of documents. "Mr. Vanguard mentioned you haven’t yet agreed on some post-wedding terms. These documents cover possible situations, and you can check off the boxes as you see fit.""For instance," the lawyer continued, "the first question is whether you’d like to go on a honeymoon after the wedding. There’s a box for yes or no."Violet chuckled, whispering to Alex, "Are you serious?"Alex shrugged. "This is how it works, apparently.""Okay, but can w
Chapter 2Stepping out of his 2024 Maybach, Alex made his way into the restaurant. Earlier, he had received a call from Violet asking him to meet her there."Good afternoon, someone by the name of Violet reserved a table?" he asked the receptionist."Oh yes, sir," the receptionist replied, beckoning to his assistant to show Alex the table."Glad you considered my offer," Alex said as he sat across from Violet. "Thank you," he added to the assistant receptionist."Glad you could make it on such short notice," Violet said, stretching her hand to shake his."Uhmm, I think before we get down to business, we should order. Don’t you think?" Alex said, trying to ease the atmosphere."Okay," Violet said, picking up the menu, while Alex signaled the waitress.After placing their orders and receiving their meals, Violet decided to address the elephant in the room."You said we could help each other?" Violet asked, adjusting herself in her chair."I did. Last I heard, you need a husband, and I n
Chapter 1Violet Wells pushed open the heavy wooden door to her grandfather's office."Grandpa, if you wanted to know about the mother of your grandchildren and your grandson's well-being, you could have just called," Violet said, her voice filled with exasperation. "No need to give me a heart attack.""Violet, my girl, dramatic as always," her grandfather, Christopher, chuckled as he strode toward his chair. "I'm so glad you didn't have an actual heart attack.""Me too," Violet replied, rolling her eyes dramatically, prompting both of them to laugh."Violet," her grandfather began, his tone growing serious, "the reason I asked you to come to the office is that I’m getting old, and I need a successor."Violet nodded, the sudden shift in mood setting tension in the room."We both know that will never be your father," he added firmly."Well, your reasons are justifiable," Violet agreed."Grandpa, honestly, you’re not that old. You’re still healthy enough to run the company, so you shoul
