Holly felt a bitter pang in her heart. She slowly reached over to caress Bryce's pale cheek, asking, "Why didn't you let Tobin be honest with me?"

Bryce held onto her cold fingers and said, "I don't want you to worry. I'll be able to go home after some rest."

Holly said, "I'll be even more worried if you don't tell me anything."

Bryce took her hand over and kissed it. "You're sensitive when you're pregnant, so you can't be stressed. I didn't expect that someone would secretly take photos and blow things out of proportion."

Holly fell silent. She then asked, "Why did Samantha enter your room?"

Disgust flashed in Bryce's eyes as he replied, "She's crazy. I kicked her out within the two minutes she's in."

Holly asked, "Who spiked your drinks?"

Bryce's gaze darkened. "I've already got Tobin to arrange for someone to check the hotel's surveillance cameras. No matter who plotted against me, it's definitely linked to Samantha."

Holly was hit with a strong wave of disgust. She never ex

    Bryce's gaze hardened as he blurted out, "I would kill the man!"Holly replied, "Now you know how I felt."She had been heartbroken when she saw the scandalous news out of nowhere.Bryce saw how gloomy Holly looked. He reached over to place his hand behind her neck and pulled her close, resting her forehead against his.He then whispered, "I'm lucky to have someone like you who cares so much about me."Holly was stunned. The way he said it made her feel as if he had loved her too humbly when she should've been the humble one instead."You should get some sleep," Holly said before gently pushing Bryce away and tucking him in.However, he couldn't fall asleep as there were still chemical residues lingering in his body. It would take at least a few days to fully flush them out.His mind was unusually alert despite feeling exhausted, especially with Holly sitting beside him. He couldn't resist her alluring scent, and his already feverish body felt even more heated up.Bryce strugg

    Holly found herself in Bryce's embrace when she woke up early the next morning. Her head was resting on his arm.There were two beds in the VIP ward. They had been each sleeping on their own bed last night.Holly rubbed her eyes and looked up at Bryce. "How did you end up on my bed?"Bryce replied, "I was worried that you might roll off while sleeping and hurt our baby, so I stayed to protect you."Holly laughed and caressed his chin, asking, "Are you feeling better today?"Bryce replied, "Yes. I feel much better now."Both of them helped each other up from the bed. Bryce was worried because of Holly's pregnancy, while Holly was worried about Bryce's weakened body.Holly burst out laughing and said, "We were only in our 20s, but we're acting like an elderly couple now!"Bryce smiled faintly and said, "I should die before you in the future.""Why?"Bryce pulled her into his embrace and replied, "I'll miss you if you die before me."Holly laughed before caressing his lips, say

    Levi chuckled coldly before calling his subordinate over.He said, "Someone either spiked my drinks or food. Find out who it was who dared to tread on thin ice."His subordinate, Gavin May, replied, "Got it."Gavin looked at the dishes and wine glasses that were cleared away by the waitress. There were no surveillance cameras in this private room out of respect for the client's privacy. They could only check the surveillance video in the corridor or toward the kitchen.Gavin turned to leave. Just as he reached for the door handle, Levi's hoarse voice sounded from behind, "Don't forget to get two pretty hostesses over. Make sure they're clean."Gavin paused for a moment before quickly replying, "Okay."Levi propped himself up on the couch after Gavin left. He was sitting in a carefree posture.He gripped his phone as he stared at Bryce's photo. He muttered, "You're rather smart to have found me out so quickly. Too bad we're not the same—you're married, and I'm not. I won't be m

    Samantha started screaming in panic. She covered her torn skirt with a hand while frantically pushing Levi away with the other. "No! What are you doing, Levi? Stop!"Levi had seen too many women who played hard to get but would still press closer against him.With how aroused he was, he no longer had the rationality to analyze what Samantha's resistance meant. Was she genuinely resisting him out of instinct, or was she deliberately playing a trick to gain leverage?However, Levi was rather skilled in dealing with women. He supported himself against Samantha's body and cradled the back of her head.His voice was soft as he murmured, "Just give yourself to me. I'll take responsibility for you."Samantha shook her head panickedly and shouted, "No! I like Bryce!"Levi said, "I'm not any worse than him. You just never noticed me. I've observed you for a long time. You're so lovely and beautiful, like a proud little bird. Just let me take care of you today, my dear princess."No wom

    Samantha changed into her house slippers and wordlessly entered her room. She lay down on her bed, feeling confused and disoriented even until now. She clearly loved Bryce but had somehow gotten intimate with Levi. It was too baffling.Samantha lay in the dark for some time before recalling the birth control pills. She then got up from her bed and took the pills as she shuffled downstairs to get some water.She was met with Quirina, who had just returned from her dinner party. Quirina looked up from changing her slippers and saw Samantha looking preoccupied. She quickly asked, "What's wrong, Samantha? You looked so out of it."Suddenly, Samantha felt aggrieved and slowly walked to Quirina. She then threw herself into Quirina's embrace and burst into tears.Quirina anxiously patted her head and asked, "Why are you crying out of nowhere?"Samantha replied, "I slept with Levi earlier, Mom."Quirina was stunned. "Haven't you always liked Bryce? Why did you sleep with Levi?"Sama

    Abraham was initially furious when he heard about it, but there was no other way around it since it had happened. They could only make the best out of the situation and arrange for their marriage.After their discussion, Samantha went back to her room and called Levi.She said, "My mom said that our families should meet up tomorrow night to discuss our marriage, Levi."Levi's expression turned cold as he asked, "What marriage?"Samantha was stunned. "You said you'd take responsibility for me back then!"Levi replied, "I did say that, but I never said I'll marry you."Samantha got furious and asked, "How would you take responsibility for me if you're not marrying me, then?"Levi replied lazily, "I'll take responsibility to pay for your hymen repairment."Samantha erupted in anger. "Levi, you son of a bitch! You're a fucking bastard! Fuck you!"Nicole died during childbirth when she was delivering Levi. Levi never got to meet her, and it was an unhealed wound deep within him.H

    Samantha's face twisted in anger as she tore the note to pieces.She was about to tear the check when Quirina stopped her and said, "Why are you refusing money? Two million dollars is also money."Samantha gritted her teeth and said, "I can't let this slide!"Quirina replied, "I'll help you teach him a lesson. He's really asking for it now. How dare he toyed with my daughter!"…Samantha found out that she was pregnant ten days later. She couldn't believe how unlucky she was.She was utterly panicking. She changed her phone and called Levi, but a woman had picked up.The woman asked with a honeyed voice, "Who are you?"Samantha was stunned. "Isn't this Levi's phone?"The woman replied, "It is. He's currently taking a bath. Do you need anything?"Samantha got angry and asked, "Who are you?"The woman laughed. "Since I'm with him this late at night, try guessing who I am."Samantha gritted her teeth and said, "I'm his girlfriend. Get him on the phone!"The woman replied, "Wh

    They were met with two familiar figures as soon as they turned into a corner.Bryce was helping Holly into the elevator carefully. Both of them were laughing as they talked, radiating happiness.Samantha halted her steps as she stared at the backs of Bryce and Holly. She was green with envy.After the both of them entered the elevator and disappeared from her sight, Samantha gritted her teeth and said seethingly, "It's all that country bumpkin's fault!"Levi wouldn't have approached me if only she got a divorce with Bryce earlier, and I wouldn't have been tricked into sleeping with him. I wouldn't have gotten pregnant and wouldn't need to get an abortion now."She continued, "My hand is ruined, my life is ruined, and Grandma is still in prison. But she was out here living a happy life and even got pregnant. I really want her dead!"Quirina had a sinister gaze when she replied, "I want her dead, too!"Samantha said, "Let's just kill her, then."Quirina's brows went up as she ask

    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
