Catherine's POV
The night fell. I had been feeling like I was in a dream lately since my life had been so wonderful. Patricia and Emerson appreciated me, and Blake indulged me. He would surprise me from time to time to make me happy. Blake was a perfect mate. Wealth made him confident. And though many people also had money, they weren't as delicate and gentle as him. Therefore, Blake was simply attractive. I used to think he was arrogant and self-centered, but after I fell for him, I realized that Blake did have what it took to attract women. "Mommy!" Hedwig suddenly ran over. She asked me seriously, "After you and daddy get married, are you going to call him honey?" I was a little surprised that she asked so. I smiled, "Who told you that?" "I saw it on TV. A kid's mommy calls his daddy honey," Hedwig said, blinking her eyes like a curious baby. I chuckled. "Why don't you go and ask your daddy? I can't explain this." "Third person's POV In the bedroom on the second floor, Catherine sat on the bed with a sad look. Blake sat beside her. He held her hand and said, "We will be your family from now on. Don't be sad anymore, OK?" Catherine closed her eyes and said, "Without the necklace, I'll have no connections left with my parents, right?" "It's just a necklace," Blake comforted her. "I know. But it was from my parents. I should have been more cautious with it," Catherine sighed. Blake promised to help Catherine find the necklace, but he didn't mean it. He hoped that Catherine would never see the necklace again. The next morning, the sun shone brightly. With his phone in hand, Benjamin pushed open Cedrick's office in a hurry. Cedrick looked up at Benjamin and said, "When will you learn to knock?" Benjamin put the phone in front of Cedrick and pointed at it. "Cedrick, is this you?" Cedrick shifted his gaze to Benjamin's pho
Third person's POV Lillian completely froze. Then a trace of embarrassment flashed across her face. She bit her lower lip, tears welling in her eyes. "You didn't come to the wedding. You didn't rescue me. You made me the person I am today. Do you have any idea what I've been through these past few years? I had to put up with my husband staying out all night. He didn't love me at all. He just thought that I was pretty, and going out with me by his side made him look good. I was too young to make the right choice. I was wrong. You are the man that I want to spend my life with." "Enough!" Cedrick's face was utterly sullen as he interrupted her with a cold voice. Then he said, "The past is the past. I have nothing to do with you from now on. I heard that you received five hundred million dollars from your divorce. It is enough for you to enjoy the rest of your life!" Lillian's face was a little pale. She realized that Cedrick was serious. He did not love he
Third person's POV Jessica was chatting with her friends. Then, she received a call. She excused herself and then answered the call, with joy on her pretty face. However, after Jessica hung up the phone, the smile on her face faded. More people came to the party. Jessica was standing at the door. She froze. There were several of Jessica's friends standing outside the door. Then, someone came uninvited. It was Lillian. Lillian was dressed up, and she was stunning. Standing outside the door, the light fell on her, and for a moment, Jessica was overshadowed by her. "Hi, Miss Hall, am I not welcome here? These are my friends. I just came back from abroad and didn't know many places to hang out. So, I thought why not come to your party," Lillian said with a graceful smile. Jessica was young and inexperienced. She couldn't handle such a situation, or, at least, she shouldn't show it on her face. "Jessica, this is Lillian. Sh
Third person's POV "Catherine, will you stay for a bit longer? You are Blake's fiancee after all. I won't be afraid of her with you by my side." Jessica pulled Catherine's arm. Catherine pulled a wry face. "Alright, let's go inside. Let me take a look at that woman!" Catherine patted Jessica on the shoulder with sympathy, and also tried to comfort her. Lillian was already here to challenge Jessica. She should fight back and not back off. "Don't defeat yourself. Chin up. Be confident!" Catherine encouraged Jessica with a smile. The two of them returned to the private room. Then, they heard a woman's loud laughter. "It's her!" Jessica winked at Catherine. Catherine looked over and was a little stunned. Lillian was around 1.7 meters tall and had a slender and exquisite figure. She had the look that most men would prefer. Lillian had an attractive face, and her slender, ice-blue dress made her look even more ladylike.
Third person's POV Since Jessica was no longer in a pickle, Catherine was prepared to leave. She said to Leo, "I'm leaving now. Have fun!" "Alright!" Leo wanted Catherine to stay longer, but he dared not to say it. Catherine said bye to Jessica and left. Catherine drove home. The lights in the parlor were dimmed. She tiptoed upstairs, cracked the door of Noah's room, and heard Blake whispering bedtime stories to the children. For an instant, Catherine was stunned and somehow felt warm inside. Blake raised his head. His eyes met Catherine's as she leaned against the door. "Mommy..." "Mommy, didn't you go to a birthday party? You're back so early!" "Is it because you miss us so much?" Hedwig asked with a smile. Noah pursed his lips. "I think she missed daddy!" "It's late. Why are you still up? Don't pester daddy all the time. He has a lot of work during the day and is very busy." Catherine lectured the kids with a
Catherine's POV After I left the study, I searched the room again for the necklace. I even lay on my stomach and looked under the bed carefully. But I still couldn't find the necklace. It just vanished. Was it really the maid who stole it? The royal pack had always been strict with the servants. How could a thief blend into the villa? I was very upset. I had a glimmer of hope when I heard Patricia say that she had an impression of the necklace. But what should I do now? I couldn't tell Patricia what the necklace looked like just by describing it. I was restless, then I thought of my phone. I quickly found it and turned it on. I checked through the photos in it. As I found the photos that I was looking for, I breathed a sigh of relief. I almost forgot that I had the photos of the necklace on my phone. I could show them to Patricia tomorrow. The next morning, clouds obscured the sun and shrouded the city in gloom.
Blake's POV Instead of driving to my company, I drove along the mountain road and arrived at the villa at the top of the mountain. My grandparents lived here. I got out of the car and rushed upstairs. In the corridor, I saw Patricia sitting alone on the sofa on the balcony in a daze. She had a napkin in her hand and was wiping her tears in silence. I somehow felt depressed. My footsteps were heavy as I walked slowly toward Patricia. When I reached the door of the balcony, Patricia shouted sternly, "Stop there!" Her eyes were filled with tears. Then, I knew how serious the matter was. I stopped and stood quietly in front of her. "You knew Catherine's background a long time ago. Didn't you?" Patricia stared at me sharply, trying to get the truth from me. I kept silent and slightly lowered my head. I dared not look into Patricia's eyes, much less at my father's photo. In the photo, my father had a gentle smile on h
Catherine's POV I was a little surprised when I received Blake's call. I had something to ask him as well, so, I went straight to his company. For some reason, I felt panicked as I went up in the elevator. I had no clue why, but I knew something was wrong. When I reached the door of Blake's office, two assistants greeted me politely, "Lycan Luna, are you here to see King Blake?" Lycan Luna? The address reassured me a little. Everybody called me this when they saw me. I felt I was already Blake's wife. I couldn't help but feel happy about it. I found that happiness came just in time, and I could relax and enjoy this perfect life of mine. I knocked on the door. Blake answered, so I pushed the door open and walked toward him. He was sitting by his desk. But when I was halfway there, I paused, and my eyes widened. Because I saw two things on Blake's desk. One of them was the necklace that I lost. The other on
Third Person's POVRichard said mysteriously, "Just wait and see. Someone will expose it.""Isn't it supposed to be made public?" Nick asked curiously."If it were made public, Emerson might just be so angry that he'd die," Richard glanced in the direction of Emerson.Nick nodded in agreement. "His condition does seem really serious. Dad, are you starting to care about Emerson?""I just don't want him to collapse so soon," a complex expression flickered across Richard's face.Nick let out a cold laugh. "I thought your hatred for him had already faded.""He gave me life, but at the same time, he subjected me to countless blows and torments. I don't even know whether to hate him or respect him," Richard snorted coldly.At that moment, the sound of flattery from the crowd outside the main door could be heard. Nick looked over and saw Blake and Catherine walking in, receiving everyone's congratulations.Since it was an engag
Third Person's POVThe morning sun shone brightly. After a month of continuous winter snow, the city finally welcomed such a sunny day.On this day, the entire city was buzzing with excitement over the Royal Pack's joyous occasion—Blake and Catherine's long-awaited engagement was finally coming to fruition.The news had the city abuzz with anticipation, as everyone eagerly awaited photos or videos from the engagement party, curious to see just how luxurious and dazzling a high-society event could be.In reality, Blake had prepared for the engagement party somewhat hastily. In his eyes, many aspects were far from perfect, but he had done his utmost to make everything as good as it could be.Emerson was particularly delighted and felt a deep sense of relief, knowing that he would witness his grandson's engagement in his lifetime, leaving him with no regrets.Abigail attended Catherine's engagement party, but Halsey was unable to make it
Third Person's POVBlake, too, wished they could keep kissing forever. But he was also worried that he might make it hard for her to breathe.Catherine's pretty face flushed with pink. Blake reluctantly let her go."I'm going to take a shower. Wait for me!" Blake had a knack for easily unsettling her. Just that one word, "wait for me," seemed to encompass all the sweet nothings.Catherine's heart fluttered slightly as she watched his figure disappear into the bathroom. She suddenly felt the bedroom was empty and didn't know what to do next.At that moment, her phone rang, signaling a new message.Catherine walked over and saw that the message was from Harley. She was taken aback for a moment but still picked up her phone to check it."Catherine, congratulations!" The message was simple, yet it was filled with his affection for her.Catherine understood the weight behind those few words and sighed softly.She remembered H
Third Person's POV"Mirabel, I have to ask, these two men, you didn't hire them, did you?" the assistant asked nervously.Mirabel's face froze for a second, and she turned her head to glare at the assistant fiercely. "Don't talk nonsense. This has nothing to do with me!"The assistant shrank back, quickly forcing a smile. "Good, I'm glad it's not related. Mirabel, I wonder who Sunny offended this time. It seems like there are quite a few people who want to get back at her."Mirabel narrowed her eyes, clenching her fists in anger. She thought to herself that since Sunny had escaped this time, she wouldn't be so lucky next time.In fact, these two thugs were indeed hired by Mirabel.She had originally planned to grab Sunny, humiliate her thoroughly, and make her feel unclean, so she would be too ashamed to pursue Leo anymore.But now, things had gone beyond her expectations.Sunny had good fighting skills and had fought against t
Third Person's POVA hint of embarrassment flickered across Sunny's face. Although she had courage and fighting skills, these didn't seem like things worth boasting about in front of the man she liked.What if Leo didn't like such a strong woman? Would he be put off by her?"Rest assured, I only fight bad guys. I would never raise a fist to you," Sunny said with a forced laugh.Leo, however, chuckled softly. "If one day I really become too much of a jerk, you'd have every right to teach me a lesson. I wouldn't have a word to say."Sunny just shook her head and remained silent. Of course, she could never bring herself to hit the man she liked."From this video, we can see the faces of those men. Don't worry, I will definitely catch these two jerks and get revenge for you," Leo said in a low voice, his tone firm."I just want to know why they were after me. Did I really offend someone at some point?" Sunny felt a vague sense of unease.
Third Person's POV"Take me to the hospital. I'm in pain." Sunny was at her breaking point, feeling like she was about to pass out from the agony.Without a word, Leo scooped her up into his arms and hurried towards the door."Close the door. I still have a lot of stuff inside." Sunny gritted her teeth and said.Leo, however, ignored her. "What's more important than your life?"Sunny could only watch helplessly as her front door remained wide open and the elevator doors swiftly closed.Leo held her tighter, noticing the cold sweat streaming down her forehead like a small river. It was then that he realized the extent of her suffering."Who did this? Who stabbed you?" Leo finally had a moment to ask her in a calm but forceful tone.Sunny shook her head. "I don't know. I don't recognize those people."Hearing her words, Leo's face turned ashen, nearly driving him to the brink of madness. She had been attacked by strangers.
Third Person's POVSunny returned home and, after a while of overthinking, decided to go out and buy something to eat.The news of her breakup with Leo had already faded a few days ago. Now, the engagement of Blake and Catherine had taken over the entire internet. The buzz around her had significantly diminished.Sunny put on a mask, went out without makeup, and wore a white woolen coat.She walked along the avenue outside her block, remembering a delicious cupcake shop she had visited before. She hadn't been there in a long time and was craving their food. Maybe her mood had improved, because she felt lighter on her feet, not as burdened as before.After all, Leo had proposed to her, and she was the one who had turned him down.Thinking of this, Sunny let out a quiet breath and felt a fleeting sense of triumph.But such thoughts were short-lived. In the world of love, there are no real winners. As long as one doesn't lose too badly,
Eda's POV"Eda, if only I had met you earlier, I would have always been by your side." Benjamin walked over to me, gently wrapped his arms around me. He held me tightly.I'm a very strong woman. I've hardly ever cried from childhood to now.But at this moment, for some reason, I felt like I needed protection. My heart was as fragile as glass, craving comfort."Yeah, why didn't you show up sooner?" I murmured with a smile, though my voice was a little choked up.Benjamin held me. His tenderness enveloped my heart.The things that scared me were indeed terrifying, but right now, his embrace made me feel safe.He said softly, "Eda, if you're scared, let's not do anything. If you don't want to get married, we'll just keep dating; if you don't want to have kids, we won't have any. I don't want you to face those things that scare you anymore."After hearing his words, I gently pushed him away, blinked my eyes, and asked in disbelief,
Eda's POVI stared at the beautifully designed wedding invitation on my desk. The minimalist yet elegant style exuded a casual and refined vibe.The off-white card was adorned with a light blue ribbon and featured the wedding details of Blake and Catherine in an exquisite font.Blake and Catherine were getting engaged. From the bottom of my heart, I was genuinely happy for them and sent my heartfelt congratulations.They had the courage to step into marriage and continue their sweet love story, which was truly enviable. But at least, I couldn't do it myself.I reached out and touched my still-flat stomach. Besides the occasional waves of nausea, I hardly felt any different. My body seemed to be functioning as usual."Ugh, this is so annoying!" I propped my head up with my hand and fiddled with my bangs, too agitated to focus on work.I felt like I was going through the worst phase of my life."Turns out, enjoying happiness come
