Chapter 391

“You’re the first woman I’ve ever fallen in love with, and you’ll be the only one I love in this lifetime. I’ve never had a ‘one true love’ in school, nor some damsel who once saved my life. And for the rest of my life, that won’t change. If I ever cheat in the future, I’ll not only give up everything I own, but I’ll even castrate myself.” Zac declared this with utmost seriousness. Then, picking up the pen, he added the final clause to the document in bold strokes. Helen raised an eyebrow. His confession had definitely moved her, but wasn’t this a bit extreme? Castration? Still, though she thought it was over the top, she didn’t stop him from writing it. Once Zac finished, he pulled out the stamp pad and pressed his fingerprint onto the document. Sliding it across the table, he nodded toward her, indicating it was her turn. Helen’s bright, clear eyes darted back and forth as she hesitated. But in the end, she pressed her thumbprint beneath her name. As soon as she did

Chase cast a rare look of approval at his younger brother. For once, Alex seemed to be using his brain. “Though he’s young, having someone accompany him can make this a valuable experience,” Chase chimed in, supporting his brother's clever play. The two brothers were working in perfect sync, playing both sides of the argument. Haley looked up from her meal, her voice calm and measured. “You two are still kids. There’s no need for you to get involved in adult matters. Spend that energy focusing on your studies. Remember, your break ends as soon as we’re back home.” At the mention of schoolwork, Alex’s enthusiasm visibly deflated, and his head drooped in despair. “Studying again? Ugh!” Wilfred shifted the conversation back to business. “With the RC Corporation chairman’s passing, there will likely be some internal changes in the company. I’ve heard about a few issues recently. I just hope they won’t disrupt the upcoming international collaboration.” “Do you think Justin

The next morning, Helen sat on the edge of the bed, conflicted and second-guessing her decision. She had made up her mind last night, so why was she hesitating now?In the bathroom, Zac was shaving, humming a cheerful tune as he tidied up. He returned to the bedroom, holding a white shirt and a white dress—matching outfits.“I looked it up,” he said with a grin. “We should dress neatly and coordinate if we’re heading to the courthouse. A clean, simple look is best.” He handed her the white dress and, without hesitation, pulled off his shirt and started changing right in front of her.He had already picked up makeup and other essentials after dinner last night. “You’re not having second thoughts, are you?” he asked, noticing her glum expression. Crouching in front of her, he pouted like a child, his eyes brimming with mock sadness. “Are you giving up on me? Was I not good enough last night? Or… are you just messing with me again?” His voice trembled, and tears glistened in his

“Did you have breakfast? Want me to ask the kitchen to make you something?" Haley asked, knowing Helen hadn’t come home last night. She didn’t pry—adults in relationships didn’t need everything spelled out.“Uh… I’ve already eaten.” Helen laughed nervously, unsure how to explain. She certainly wasn’t ready to spill the news.“Heading out?” Haley noticed her outfit was different from the day before.“Yeah,” Helen nodded quickly.“Alright, I’ll be in the studio.” Haley turned and went upstairs.As soon as Haley disappeared, Helen let out a sigh of relief, darting out the door and hopping into Zac’s car. She didn’t even buckle her seatbelt before urging him to drive, looking as if she had just pulled off a heist.Upstairs, Haley stepped away from her studio and moved to the third-floor window, watching Helen rush into a car. Unfortunately, she couldn’t see who was driving.*In the car, Zac handed over her phone but held onto her passport. Helen grabbed her phone with ease, but he

“Hmm… I’ll check around and let you know if I find something suitable,” Helen replied, her voice a bit uneasy, still adjusting to her new identity. Her cheeks flushed as she carefully placed a certified copy of their marriage certificate into her handbag. Zac shifted gears, casually asking, “I need to attend the Yates family funeral later. Do you want to come with me or head home instead?” Helen hesitated. She really didn’t want to attend Justin’s grandfather’s funeral. “Would it be rude if I didn’t go?” “It doesn’t matter. We haven’t made anything public yet. No one knows, so skipping it is fine.” “Then I’ll go home.” Zac nodded, turned the car around, and drove her back first before heading to the funeral himself. Halfway home, Helen suddenly sat bolt upright, her face full of alarm. “Wait, isn’t it a thing to choose a special date for getting married? Today’s Justin’s grandfather’s funeral. Isn’t it bad luck to get our marriage license today?” She had only come

Upstairs, Jacob pulled Emma into one of the guest rooms, closing the door behind them with a quiet click. The moment the door shut, he turned and pinned her against it, his body pressing against hers. It had been days since he last touched her, and his desire was overwhelming. “Jacob, control yourself! This is a funeral!” Emma hissed, pushing at his head buried in the crook of her neck. Jacob raised his head slightly, his hands already sliding under her skirt. With a devilish smirk, he whispered, “You want this as much as I do. It’s not like we’re doing this in public. This is a private room. What’s the harm?” He leaned in closer, his breath warm against her ear. “Your body’s a lot more honest than your mouth,” he added, pulling back his hand to show her. This wasn’t the first time Jacob had acted recklessly with her. If he could flirt with her openly in front of Mr. Yates Sr., he wasn’t going to let a funeral stop him now. Fear of the dead had never been a concern for h

In the hall, Justin and Zac stood side by side in black suits, offering their condolences to guests attending the funeral.“Mr. Yates, my deepest sympathies.”“Mr. Yates, please stay strong during this challenging time.”Justin nodded politely, acknowledging each guest, while Zac mirrored his gestures in quiet support. Then Zac tilted his head toward the entrance. “Hey, isn’t that the renowned Mr. Wilfred?” Although Zac had never met him in person, he had certainly heard of Wilfred’s reputation. A dominant figure in Merika State’s business world, Wilfred’s influence extended to global markets, even owning the world’s most advanced medical enterprises. There were even whispers of his involvement in Merika State’s political sphere. For someone of his stature to attend this funeral personally was unexpected. “Didn’t you work with him before? Or is he here because of a cross-border project?” Zac turned to Justin, curiosity evident. Justin didn’t answer immediately, his ey

Her son had made it clear that he wouldn’t be with Emma. Heidi no longer had to endure Emma’s antics for his sake. “Mm… mmph…” The next second, Emma’s mouth was covered, and two security guards restrained her, dragging her toward the stairwell. “Wait!” Heidi ordered sharply. “Don’t throw her out yet. Lock her in the car and make sure she stays quiet. Don’t let her out until the funeral is over!” Heidi didn’t want Emma sneaking back like a persistent pest. Following her instructions, the guards hauled Emma down to the underground parking lot. They forced her into a car, muffling her protests as they locked the doors. Emma struggled the entire way, but her strength was no match for the two guards. She seethed with rage, vowing revenge on everyone who dared to stand in her way. *Justin stood in a quiet corner, dialing Haley’s number. He desperately hoped she would come. The call went unanswered. He sent her a text, but still no reply. *Meanwhile, at Mistleto

“Sis, let me explain this slowly,” Helen said, her nerves completely shot. She slid off the sofa and landed dramatically on the carpet, clutching the marriage certificate as if it were her lifeline.Mimicking Zac’s usual pitiful expressions, she forced a few dramatic sobs, desperately trying to conjure tears. “It all started with that seaside vacation five years ago,” she began, voice trembling. “I swear, I didn’t want to say yes, but he—he said if I didn’t marry him, he’d jump into the sea right then and there!” Helen sniffled, rubbing at her eyes, her voice thick with fake emotion. “Even though I knew about his ties to Justin, how could I just stand there and watch him die?” She let out a couple of dramatic wails, clutching her head as if overcome with grief. It was all thunder and no rain. Her attempt at playing the fragile, helpless act was clearly not her strong suit. "Yep," she thought with a sigh, "I’m definitely not cut out to be the delicate damsel type." Grabbing

“Hey? Zac? So, uh… can you come over to my house after the funeral?” Helen bit her lip, suddenly feeling like a student nervously calling her parents under the teacher’s watchful eye. She sneaked a glance at Haley, who was still smiling warmly at her, adding to her pressure. “What’s wrong? Did something happen?” Zac’s voice on the other end sounded anxious, his immediate concern evident. He hadn’t even considered the possibility of meeting her family, especially after Helen had insisted earlier that their marriage stay under wraps for now.“It’s… well, my sister found out about our marriage. She wants you to come over.” Helen’s voice was filled with embarrassment, like a kid caught doing something they weren’t supposed to. Hearing that, Zac sighed in relief. “Alright. Just let me know how many people will be there and what they like. I’ll prepare gifts. But the funeral might run late.”“No problem. We’ll wait for you.” Helen glanced at Haley as she spoke, then quickly sent Za
