Emily bit her lip and nodded slightly. Her tear fell, but she quickly wiped it away. "Yes! I want to marry you, Cayden Evans." A relieved laugh escaped Cayden. He put the ring on her finger. Finding that it fitted perfectly, he stood up and hugged her tightly. "Thank you for accepting me, Princess," Cayden whispered before planting a kiss on her temple. "Thank you for proposing to me, My Prince. Tonight is truly the best night, the most beautiful night of my entire life. I never expected a surprise as sweet as this." Cayden cupped Emily's cheek. He wanted to keep her beautiful expression in his memory. Then, he promised himself. He would paint it again as often as possible. "I love you so much, Emily. You deserve all my attention and the best things in the world." He kissed her forehead. Emily laughed softly. Then, after staring at each other for a few moments, their lips pressed together. It was then did people come out of their hiding places while clapping hands.
"Auntie, look at this! Am I cool? I could finally take a photo with the glowing worms in the cave!" Summer said as she brought a piece of photo paper closer to the camera. Seeing a very dark photo, Emily smiled faintly. Only a blue glow was captured there, and the only part of Summer that was visible, were her teeth. "Yeah, you're so cool, Summer. It's a shame that Cayden and I couldn't go there with you." "If only Aunt and Uncle had come, we would have taken a photo together using Uncle Cayden's camera. I'm sure the result would be cooler than this. Maybe, the worms could be seen more clearly. From the photo Mama took, they only look like small dots." While Summer looked at her portrait, Emily covered her mouth with a fist. She was afraid that the toddler would see her amused smile. Meanwhile, Sky, who had been silent for a moment, could only shake her head. She felt sorry with her daughter, but it was the best photo she could take. "By the way, Mama, how about we follow
Cayden smiled faintly. He grabbed Emily's hand, taking her to a certain point. "To be precise, here." He stomped his foot on the earth. "Here is where you were standing when I took your picture. Then ...." Cayden pointed towards the fence. "I think, that's where you fell. You went backwards without knowing there was a pile of snow behind you." Emily chuckled. "Yeah, I was startled because of your camera flash. I remember that I ended up sitting down in the pile of snow." "Then I helped you get up." "And you helped me clean my coat. Thank you for treating me so well, Cay." Cayden stroked Emily's head. "Being sweet to you is my life's calling, Princess." Emily laughed softly. "Then, let's get ready. I can't wait to recreate that moment. I hope the photos turn out good." "The results will definitely be good. You are always beautiful from any angle." That day, the shooting went smoothly. Even though they had misgivings, Cayden and Emily still enjoyed their moment. As exp
"What's wrong, Honey? Is your skin itchy?" Sky glanced at her daughter. Summer nodded. "Maybe it's because the weather is hot, Mama. I'm sweating." "Summer hasn't come yet, Honey. The air is still cool." "Yeah, but I feel hot." Suddenly, Summer started coughing. Sky gave her drinking water, but Summer pushed her hand away. As time went on, her cough got louder. Her breath started to become labored. Feeling something was wrong with Summer, Sky checked her. Apparently, red spots had appeared on the toddler's neck. "Oh my God, Summer! Your allergic reaction is acting up!" she spontaneously exclaimed. Swiftly, Sky opened her bag. She wanted to get an epipen, but she couldn't find the emergency device. "Where's your epipen?" she sighed as she took Summer's bag and looked more carefully. Unfortunately, the medication still wasn't found. "Oh, no, no ...." Sky's hands started to shake. Cold sweat covered her body. When Summer dropped her bottle of milk, Sky couldn
Arriving in front of Cayden, Emily immediately grabbed his arms. Her head was bowed, her breathing was labored. "Cay, we have to get out of here! This is a trap ...." She was still trying to catch her breath. Her eyes closed to stifle panic. "This is a trap!" Cayden grabbed her arm back. Shaking her a little, he said, "Calm down, Emily. I don't know what you're talking about if you're panicking like this. Explain slowly. What trap do you mean?" Emily flinched. The voice she had just heard was similar to Cayden's. The intonation and emphasis too. However, she knew very well that it was not Cayden's. Soon afterwards, her breathing grew heavier. She opened her eyes anxiously. Seeing Cayden's carelessly tied shoelaces, her throat tightened. Her body started to shake. Moreover, she could caught the smell of cigarettes. "Emily, are you okay?" The man shook her arm again. Emily spontaneously raised her gaze. At that moment, their eyes met. His face was similar to Cayden's, even
After getting out of the elevator, Emily immediately approached the security guard. She explained the incident briefly, then asked where the CCTV room was. The security team immediately took actions. Several of them secured the impostor. Others started searching the area. The rest escorted Emily to the CCTV room. "How is it?" Emily asked when her patience ran out. The people there were working too slowly. "Sorry, Miss. All the CCTVs on the 3rd floor were off. We checked the CCTVs on the other floors. There was nothing suspicious." "What about the emergency stairs?" "Sorry, Miss. There's no CCTV in that area." Emily grimaced. "What about the parking lot in the basement? You can't possibly leave that area unmonitored, right?" The security guard checked the monitor again. Before he had time to find a clue, his colleague spoke up. "Miss, I found something odd." Emily shifted to another monitor. Two men are pushing a trolley of rubbish. "Could Cayden be inside one of th
Cayden jerked his body. He tried to get up from the chair. Unfortunately, the rope that tied him was too strong. "You coward! Your opponent is me, not Emily. Why do you keep involving her in our affairs, huh? Let her go!" Emily could only sigh in pity at her hiding place. Meanwhile, Seth, who had been silent for a while, was now laughing out loud. "Do you think my threats have been a joke all this time? Destroying you is my purpose in life. I will never stop until you get what you should get. Glen ...." Seth glanced at his partner in crime. "Let the show begin." "Okay, Bro." The man in the janitor uniform turned his laptop. Cayden's breath became louder and rougher. Meanwhile, Seth sat on a sofa. He was ready to witness Cayden's anger. His evil smile kept growing until Glen's eyebrows furrowed, and Cayden's face turned confused. "Hey!" Seth exclaimed, his eyes widened. "Is this a paused show? Come on, vent your anger! You don't mind your future wife having fun with ano
"How dare you hurt my future wife?" Cayden rebuked with burning hatred. Seth met Cayden's gaze with sharper eyes. His jaw throbbed. He was furious that none of his plans went smoothly. "Why is fate never on my side? Why?" Desperate, Seth finally pulled a gun out of his pocket. Seeing that, Cayden and Emily gasped. "Hey? Please don't be careless. Your punishment could be heavier if you kill us with a weapon," Cayden said while raising one hand in front of him. Seth's laughter became increasingly sinister. "Do you think I care? What's the difference between killing you with a stick, poison, or a bullet? They're all the same. They all can send you to hell!" Seth pointed a gun at Emily. His finger was ready to pull the trigger. Witnessing that, Cayden swallowed hard. He was too far to protect Emily. Now, he could only hope that Seth would just aim at him. "Do you think it's that easy to send us to hell? We are good people. Even if we die, we will go to heaven. You are the on
