"Miss Hudson, we have prepared a corpse identical to you, just as you requested. It will be delivered to your wedding with Mr. Warhol in ten days." Hearing the voice on the other end of the line, Violet Hudson felt a small knot of tension unwind inside her. "Alright. Thank you." "You're welcome. This is our job. Please rest assured—no one will ever suspect a thing." With that guarantee, she exhaled, the weight on her chest easing just a little. After confirming the final details once more, she ended the call and pushed open the door to the private room. The noise inside had been a constant hum, a mix of voices overlapping, but the moment she stepped in, silence fell like a curtain.

Chapter 2
Violet set her fork down and rose from her seat. She didn't want to hear any more of these empty, well-practiced lies.Seeing her about to leave, Grayson immediately stood as well, his hands forming quick, fluid gestures. "What's wrong?"She shook her head. "I'm tired. I want to go home and rest."Without waiting for his response, she turned and walked straight out of the private room.Out on the street, she lifted her head and saw the massive electronic screen on the office building across from her. A video played on a loop. A familiar set of words glowed against the backdrop: Violet Hudson, Marry Me!Pedestrians passing by stopped to look, their voices filled with admiration."My goodness, I heard Grayson Warhol's girlfriend is deaf, so when he proposed, he booked the tallest office building in the city and had 'Marry Me' displayed on the screen, just so she could see it clearly. And after she said yes, he kept the proposal video playing for an entire month so that the whole ci

Chapter 3
Violet took a deep breath, pressing down the dull ache in her chest. Just as she was about to leave, a pair of strong hands held her in place."Violet, why didn't you wait for me? Are you feeling down today?" He signed. "How about I take you to try on the wedding dress? The custom-made one has arrived. Let's see if you like it. If not, I'll have them alter it."He wrapped her in his arms, his fingers ruffling her hair with indulgent affection."I don't want to go," she signed. "You can decide on the dress."She would be gone by the wedding day. She wouldn't be there to wear the gown, so what did it matter what it looked like?Perhaps Grayson sensed her indifference. He hesitated before signing cautiously, "Violet, why do I feel like you're not excited about our wedding at all? Do you... not want to marry me?"His eyes held a flicker of panic. Violet met his gaze and, for a moment, wanted to tell him the truth.'Yes, I don't want to marry you.'It was you who betrayed me first.

Chapter 4
The moment Violet stepped into her home, her phone chimed. Violet unlocked the screen. It was a photo. In the image, Grayson stood shirtless, his back facing the camera. Ruby, in a strapless mermaid wedding gown, had the long hem of her dress hitched up to her waist. Her pale legs wrapped tightly around his strong torso. The pose left nothing to the imagination. Another notification followed. A video. On the screen, Ruby clung to Grayson's neck, her voice breathless, tinged with laughter. "Grayson, how could you tear my wedding dress... I just got it today." Grayson chuckled, his voice low as he leaned into her ear. "Didn't you want the dress just to show it to me?" His fingers traced the fabric. "I even got the same designer as Violet's to make one for you. Shouldn't you return the favor?"Ruby gasped. The video ended abruptly. But that wasn't enough. Another message followed. [Oh dear, I almost forgot you're deaf. Such a shame! Next time, I'll make sure to add su

Chapter 5
Perhaps it was guilt gnawing at Grayson. For the next few days, he stayed by her side, handling work from home while also going over the final details of the wedding.Then came the business banquet he couldn't avoid attending.He insisted that Violet accompany him. Before she had a chance to refuse, he had already arranged for a stylist to come over.At the banquet, she realized Ruby was there too.Dressed in a tight V-neck gown that left little to the imagination, Ruby approached them with a practiced smile. "Mr. Warhol. Miss Hudson."Violet met her gaze. Calm and poised, there was no trace of the woman who had provoked her the night before. It was as if she had transformed into someone else entirely.Quite the actress, just like Grayson.A moment ago, she had clearly seen his expression shift the moment he laid eyes on Ruby. His gaze darkened, his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he still held her hand, maintaining his cold and distant facade as he gave Ruby a mere nod.The m

Chapter 6
Instinctively, Violet wanted to turn around, but she remembered that her "hearing impairment" had yet to recover. She forced herself to stay still.Grayson rushed to her side, his eyes filled with panic."Violet, are you leaving me? We're about to get married—where would you go?"When she gave no response, he suddenly realized and hurriedly repeated his words in sign language.Violet's expression remained calm."A friend of mine is leaving."He studied her face carefully, searching for any sign of deception. Only when he was sure she wasn't lying did he let out a breath of relief."That's a relief. Violet, you don't know how terrified I just was. I can't even imagine how I'd live if you ever left me."He pulled her into his arms, holding her tight, his face still etched with fear.Hearing his heartfelt words, Violet felt nothing.If he was so afraid of losing her, why had he betrayed her?Was it because he believed she couldn't hear, so he had nothing to fear?Too bad for h

Chapter 7
On the way to the hospital, Grayson finally noticed the blood trickling down Violet's cheek. Until now, he had been too busy comforting Ruby after the earlier fight to pay attention.Once they arrived, he ignored his own bleeding shoulder and insisted the doctor treat her first."Our wedding is coming up," he said. "My Violet can't have a single scar on her face."Then, turning to her, guilt filling his eyes, he signed, "I'm sorry. This was all my fault. I only stepped in because Ruby is my subordinate. Please don't be mad at me, alright?"Violet said nothing. Instead, she told the doctor to ignore her wound and focus on treating Grayson's shoulder. It didn't matter. She wouldn't be at the wedding anyway. Whether or not she had a scar was meaningless.Grayson mistook her indifference for concern and looked at her, touched.The doctor cut away his blood-soaked shirt, exposing the deep gash beneath. Only then did Violet notice the wound overlapped perfectly with an old scar—a circu

Ruby wrapped her arms around Grayson's neck, her face flushed, and her breath coming in uneven gasps."Grayson, no… I can't…"He buried his face against her chest, his voice hoarse."That man touched you today. I need to mark every inch of you as mine. Until I say it's over, you won't be resting tonight."Ruby arched her head back, panting."What if Miss Hudson sees us—"Before she could finish, Grayson froze, his expression turning cold."She's deaf. She won't find out. You are not to mention this in front of her."Ruby pouted, trailing lazy circles over his chest with her fingertips."I know… It's just… thinking about how she's about to become your wife, while I'll always be hidden in the shadows… it hurts."His resolve wavered for a moment. Pinching her cheek, he sighed."You little jealous thing. I brought you into my home, isn't that enough? "Don't worry. I won't leave you even after the marriage. Whatever I buy for Violet, you will have, too."She finally smiled, he

Chapter 9
When Violet woke up, Grayson and Ruby were already downstairs, eating breakfast.Seeing her come down, Grayson quickly pulled out a chair for her and handed her a bowl of porridge that had already cooled to room temperature. He watched as she ate in silence, her expression unreadable. A trace of guilt flickered across his face."Violet, something urgent came up at the company, and I need to go on a business trip," he signed. "For the next few days, you can discuss the wedding plans with the planner. I'll finish my work as soon as possible and come back quickly. After the wedding, I promise to spend a whole week with you. Anywhere you want to go for our honeymoon, I'll be right there with you."Violet had already learned last night that this trip had nothing to do with work. He was leaving to appease Ruby. But his whereabouts no longer concerned her. She merely nodded.Just before Grayson stepped out the door, she called out to him one last time."Grayson."He paused for a moment,

Chapter 10
On the other side of town, at Ruby's apartment, a woman's breathless pleas filled the room. Only then did Grayson finally let her go.He grasped her wrist, his voice hoarse. "Pregnant, and still not behaving?"Ruby leaned into his embrace, her tone soft, almost teasing. "I was just afraid you'd hold it in too long and feel miserable."He let out a quiet laugh, pinching her cheek. "Sounds to me like a certain someone is jealous."She huffed and turned her face away, her words laced with jealousy. "You're leaving us tomorrow to marry another woman. Am I not allowed to feel a little bitter?"His expression darkened. He let go and looked down at the woman lying on the bed, resentment flickering in her eyes. His voice carried a warning. "Ruby, as long as you don't cause trouble in front of Violet, I'll spoil you however you want. But if you forget your place and drag our affairs in front of her…"Ruby's face stiffened.She hadn't expected him to issue such a cold warning, even with h
