"Go to sleep. You need to wake up early today," she said.

Bryce lifted her chin and stared into her eyes. "Are you not angry anymore?"

Holly responded with a light murmur.

How could she not be angry anymore? He'd accused her in front of so many people. He had shredded her pride into pieces.

It wasn't just her, either. Bryce had directed those words at Abelin, too.

Everyone else could humiliate her, but he was the only one who shouldn't have.

He was the one whom she loved most. He was different.

Holly turned to leave, but Bryce slid an arm around her waist.

He pinched her sides and said sadly, "You still haven't forgiven me."

Holly wanted to sleep. Seeing that Bryce didn't want to let go, she stood on tiptoe and pecked him on the chin. "Fine. I've forgiven you now."

Bryce finally let her go.

Holly washed her hands, took off her clothes, and went to bed.

Bryce went to the washroom to freshen up.

When he went on business trips, he stayed in five-star hotels and presidential s

    Holly's heart seemed to have softened a little.Bryce had come here all the way from the city just to see her because he was worried about her.The anger she felt from being misunderstood dissipated greatly.She leaned against him and said softly, "When he came in and tore at my clothes, I was so disgusted. All I thought was that if he raped me, I would kill him, then kill myself."Bryce's heart felt hollowed out. Then, it ached in anger. It felt like it was being ripped apart by a monster. It hurt so badly that it took him a while to regain his senses.He held Holly tightly, pressing her close to him. "Don't say such silly things."They'd been married for three years. He didn't want to hear things like this.Holly was quiet for a while. "Thank God that Abe…"She cut herself off. She wanted to say it was a good thing that Abelin had come here in the nick of time. However, she remembered that Bryce didn't like her being too friendly with Abelin. That was why she trailed off.Sh

    When Holly accompanied Bryce to the car, she bumped into Annie downstairs.Annie had been unable to sleep last night. She'd taken two sleeping pills to knock herself out, and she'd had a deep sleep.She had no idea about what had happened to Holly last night.When she saw Bryce, she greeted him warmly, "Hello, handsome. Why are you here, too?"Bryce looked at her coldly, his eyes like sharp knives.His face was as dark as a storm during winter.He walked away, saying nothing. His presence was terrifying.He thought it was all Annie's fault that Holly was here. On top of that, Annie neglected to care for her properly. She didn't even show up last night when something terrible happened to Holly.Annie was treated coldly in response to her warm greeting. She was bewildered.She pulled Holly aside and asked, "What's wrong with him? He looked like he was about to murder me."Holly was in a hurry to send Bryce off. She brushed it off. "He's just like that. You'll get used to it."

    Holly noted the old man's dazed and sorrowful look.She softly asked, "Who did you say that, sir?"The old man only came back to his senses then. He was stunned for a moment before he lightly shook his head.Holly no longer pressed on when she saw that he was reluctant to answer. She looked similar to Samantha. It wouldn't be surprising to her if she looked like someone he knew.Barry saw what happened and walked over.He introduced the old man to Holly and said, "This is Trevor Habel, the leading figure in the field of ceramic restoration in our country."Holly had heard of Trevor. His reputation preceded his name—no less than Winston's—in the cultural relics restoration field.She greeted him respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Habel.""Hello," Trevor replied with reddening eyes as he nodded.Barry then said, "This is Holly Sinclair, Winston's granddaughter. She's a gifted restorer."Trevor's eyes lit up with interest as he looked at Holly.Barry continued, "She was the one who did

    Trevor wanted to take in a mentee like Holly, who was not only talented but could also withstand loneliness. She could surely devote herself to this line of work.When she became famous in the field of ceramic restoration in the future, everyone would know that she was Trevor's mentee.Of course, all these were secondary thoughts. Most importantly, she looked so much like his daughter when she was younger—even her calm and gentle temperament was similar.…Holly went back into her room. The silk painting had already been cleaned, and she now had to repair the tears on it.She was free for the night as the materials she had requested from Annie hadn't arrived yet. After dinner, she called Bryce and got into bed early.Holly slept until around 9:00 pm before she was woken up by the nightmare from 13 years ago. She couldn't fall back to sleep after that.She lay on the bed, tossing and turning. Suddenly, she heard the sound of a flute playing from outside of her window.Holly was

    Holly thought she was dreaming when she heard them say that Bryce was here. He had just left this morning, surely he wouldn't come over again tonight?She turned back to look at Bryce. His tall and slender figure was revealed under the moonlight. His features were strikingly handsome, yet there was a hint of loneliness cast on his face.Holly was shocked. It really was Bryce. He was walking over to her.He was still looking spirited by the time he left this morning, but now he seemed a little exhausted.Holly couldn't believe her eyes. She stood staring at him motionlessly.Then, her bodyguard said, "It really is Mr. Gabelman, Mrs. Gabelman. He came to look for you."Only then did Holly snap out of her reverie.Her heart was beating fast as she asked subconsciously, "Why are you here?"Bryce didn't answer her. He only looked at her wordlessly. Traces of disappointment and loneliness were evident in his gaze.Holly had never seen such conflicting emotions from him. She felt as

    Bryce only slowed down when they could no longer see Abelin.He asked breathlessly, "Does your leg still hurt?"Holly had an arm around his neck as she said, "It doesn't hurt anymore. You should let me down now."Bryce said, "It doesn't matter. We'll be back soon."Holly relented as she couldn't argue against him.She sorted her thoughts and explained, "The materials Annie asked someone to get haven't arrived. I had nothing to do so I went to bed early. I woke up later and couldn't fall back asleep."Then, I heard someone playing the flute, and the tune was quite beautiful. Curious, I went out to have a look. I didn't know that it was Abelin. I wouldn't have gone if I had known."Bryce hummed lowly. There wasn't any expression on his face. Holly wasn't sure if he believed her or not.After giving it some thought, she reached out to caress his worn-out face.She then chided, "Why did you come now when you've just left this morning? You don't have to always visit me since you'

    It was Holly's first time hearing Bryce speak in such a tone. She found it intriguing and even felt that his aggrieved look was adorable for a split second.It was far from his usual cold and aloof image. Such vague grievance of his made her like him even more.Holly wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at his bloodshot eyes. She then gently poked at the corner of his eyes with a finger.She said, "Look at you. Your eyes are bloodshot now. You shouldn't come over again tomorrow, got it?"Byrce nuzzled his nose against her wordlessly. He didn't want to come as well, but Abelin had been watching her vigilantly and refused to leave this place.He had played the hero by rescuing Holly last night, and tonight, he was even playing the flute. It made Bryce insecure.Holly waited but no answer came from him. She knew that he refused to agree.She sighed and said, "Once the materials are here, I'll inform Prof. Gondalez that I'll bring the silk painting back to Jardington for rest

    Most importantly, Trevor was over 80 years old now. He wasn't at all a threat to Bryce.After that, Bryce's hand that was on Holly's chin slipped down from her arm to wrap around her waist. He then gave her waist a suggestive pinch.He leaned closer to her ear and suggested, "Since you're not busy today, and I have nothing else to do, how about we make our time worthwhile?"Holly felt weak all over from his pinches.She purposefully asked, "Who was the one who said that he didn't fly all the way here just for this last night?"Bryce got on top of her to bite the tip of her nose before kissing her lips.He then said distractedly, "That was last night. It's a different matter now."Holly no longer said further. She wasn't in the mood to reason with him now. Her mind was blank from all his kissing, and she felt like she was walking on cloud nine.Bryce planted kisses from her chin down to her shoulders. He then gave it a light bite, making her shudder as his slender fingers gently

    Sitting by Bryce's bed, Holly softly held his slender fingers as if such a move would keep him safe.She must have been exhausted or emotionally spent, as she soon fell asleep by the bed. She then suffered a nightmare, in which Bryce stood in front of her, covered in blood from head to toe. Forcing a smile, he said to her, "Holly, I can't stay by your side anymore. You need to take care of yourself and be strong."After that, he turned into wisps of smoke and vanished right in front of her eyes. She frantically reached out to hold him, but she was clawing at the air.She waved her hands madly to take hold of him and run after him. Her voice was hoarse from all the yelling. "Bryce! Bryce Gabelman!"Her shouting was futile. Jolting awake, she gasped for air. Her forehead was drenched in sweat, and her eyes were wet from crying.She noticed that she was lying in the caregiver's bed. Someone—perhaps Bryce—had carried her to the bed.Bryce managed to get out of bed and lay by her

    "You're injured. Don't stay on the floor—it's cold. Get up now!" Holly cautiously pulled Bryce up from the ground.He was speechless at her response. Any other woman would have happily accepted the ring and put it on.Perhaps, the woman he loved was different from the others.Going on one knee, Bryce refused to get up. He tenderly stared at Holly. "I'll get up after you agree to remarry me.""Get up now, and I'll agree to it."Defeated, he stood up, held her hand, and tried to put the ring on her finger when he was overwhelmed by a wave of dizziness. He lost his balance and collapsed forward onto her.Holly quickly held him and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"Bryce's lips parted. He wanted to reassure her that he was fine, but he couldn't utter a word. Soon after, his fingers that grasped the ring went numb. The large diamond ring dropped to the ground, spinning and clattering until it came to a stop.Panicking, Holly patted his cheek. "What's going on?"However, Bryce didn't

    Looking at the man in Holly's embrace, Abelin turned his attention back to his phone. He asked inquisitively, "Who are you?"The person on the other end of the line was filled with anger. "I'm Bryce. I called her phone, but it was switched off."Abelin replied honestly, "She lost her phone.""Where is she right now?" Bryce questioned indifferently.After Abelin told him the villa's address, Bryce hung up.Abelin once again glanced at his phone before looking toward the dazed-looking Holly. "Holly, I think this man might not be Bryce."Holly shook her head. "You don't need to comfort me.""I just got a call from Bryce. He's on his way here."Holly thought he was lying and refused to believe him. When Abelin wanted to pull her away from the corpse, Holly got triggered and pushed him away. "Don't touch him! He'll be in pain!"Seeing Holly in such a dazed and abnormal state, Abelin felt a sense of pity for her.A tall figure emerged from the door about 45 minutes later. He was we

    Abelin wanted to follow through with the protocol, but Holly refused.Realizing they weren't locals, the police decided to let them be. Thus, Abelin sent Holly and the corpse back to a villa their family seldom stayed in.Upon arriving at the villa, Holly did nothing but hold onto the bloodied man dazedly. Her heart felt heavy and chaotic. She was filled with regret and self-blame.Did she regret breaking up with him? The answer was no. Instead, she regretted not being firm enough with her decision. If she had been more resolute and didn't give him any hope of reconciling, he wouldn't have flown to Calria to find her. Correspondingly, he wouldn't have gotten into a car accident and died.Death was such a dreadful word. Bryce was gone, forever disappearing from this world. Holly would never hear his voice or see his smile and face. It was all gone.She would never see him again. She would rather he had lived, no matter who he ended up with in the future. She just wanted him to

    The driver pressed the pedal, made a U-turn, and accelerated. When Holly arrived at the address Tobin sent, she saw two deformed cars at the crash scene. However, she didn't find anyone there.Holly's heart skipped a beat. She could only call Tobin repeatedly. However, the call didn't go through.Bryce and the others didn't own a car, only renting one after they got off the plane. Thus, Holly didn't know which car belonged to them.The driver continued driving a bit further until they came upon a collision between a car and a truck. The car's front end was completely obliterated. The driver was cut in half at the waist, and the person in the back seat was so badly mangled that his face was unrecognizable.A loud roar echoed in Holly's mind as it went blank. Her gaze fell on the man's blood-soaked suit. This was the deep-colored suit that Bryce always wore. The man had long legs. The wrist that was hanging out of the car wore a Patek Philippe Celestial watch.Holly remembered the

    The moment Bryce reached Calria and got off the plane, he received a call from an unknown number. He took the call with furrowed eyebrows. "Hello. Who are you?"Zenia fumed. "I'm Zenia. Holly and Abelin's wedding is today. Your woman snatched away the man I loved!" She hung up the call after that.Bryce didn't believe her. He tapped into his messages, and several wedding photos came into view. Although the images were not high resolution, one could at least make out the newlywed's features.The groom wearing a suit had striking facial features, and Bryce recognized him as Abelin. Meanwhile, the woman was dressed in a fitted floor-length gown and wore a white veil. Under the thin veil, Bryce could make out her defined features. The woman was none other than Holly.Bryce felt like he had been struck by lightning. His mind went blank, and the hand holding the phone turned cold.He could feel his heart sinking and his blood going cold. Instantly, he felt he got toyed and betrayed

    Michelle was gravely ill, with her vision and hearing failing. Thus, they should be able to deceive her.While Abelin let out a sigh of relief, Merope threw daggers at him. She couldn't believe he was stupid enough to let go of such a good opportunity. She wondered why someone as smart as her would have such a dumb son.As it was almost time for the wedding ceremony, Merope wheeled the sickly Michelle out. Michelle's complexion seemed better than a few days back, perhaps due to the joyful event or the effects of terminal lucidity. Her dull eyes were shining when she saw Abelin and the fake bride on the red carpet.Michelle pursed her lips and asked Merope, "Is he really getting married to Holly?"Merope replied unwillingly, "Yes.""Bring me over to have a look," Michelle ordered. When Merope wheeled her over to the fake bride, Michelle took her reading glasses from her pocket with trembling hands.Abelin held his breath as Michelle eyed the fake bride up and down. He was fear

    Merope pleaded earnestly, "Abel, your grandmother is on her last breath. Please try to fulfill her last wish for her."Abelin didn't seem to reject this plan as much as before. "Wedding arrangements are already in place, and I've notified a couple of cousins. I'll try to make the entire wedding as genuine as possible."Merope was overjoyed. "Why did you suddenly change your mind? Is Holly the bride?""No. I found a woman who looks quite similar to her. Grandma is old and has blurry eyesight. I doubt she'll recognize her."Merope rebuked, "Your grandma isn't blind!""Well, that's all." Abelin then hung up the call.…Three days later, many relatives gathered at the Gabelman residence. The brightly decorated courtyard was filled with people. Abelin hired a professional wedding team in advance, making sure the officiant, red carpet, circular arch, fresh flowers, and bridal bouquet were all in place. A professional violin team was also playing the wedding march.Although it was a

    Abelin called Priscilla's bodyguards, and they arrived at the Calria police station together.The bodies were stored in the morgue. Since they weren't Calrians, the police couldn't find any information on them or confirm their identities.However, they were sure that the two bodies had something to do with Priscilla because one of the bodyguards left a long scratch mark on one of the culprit's arms. At that moment, the mark was rotten due to being submerged in the water. The skin was peeling, and it was a horrifying sight.Clearly, the person behind the culprits was worried they might get caught and expose their employer's identity. So, someone was sent to silence them right away. It was easy for someone like them to kill a person.After giving a statement, the police told Abelin that they were going to do an autopsy on the bodies. Once they had news, they would call him again.After coming out of the police station, Abelin got into his car and called Bryce. "The two guys who hu
