All Chapters of Eternal Dawn, Fleeting Dusk: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

[Mrs. Gardner, are you sure you want to hire our team to stage a fire and fake your death in ten days?]Camellia Shaw paused for a moment. Just as she was about to reply to the message, a video call suddenly popped up."Camellia, look! Andres is spending a fortune on you again!"The video was of an auction in progress.At the front, a man of striking elegance and charm was decisively bidding on several antique collectibles worth hundreds of millions.The crowd was already abuzz with excitement."Mr. Gardner is so good to his wife! He bought all these antiques just to make her smile!""$400 million is nothing! I heard Mr. Gardner even built her a private estate and named it Eterna Haven. Just the name alone is proof of how much he loves her."A wealthy businessman nearby sneered. "It's all for show. Who knows what he's really like behind closed doors?"That comment immediately sparked a wave of backlash. Many argued back, talking about how devoted Andres Gardner was to his wife

Andres did not return home all night. Camellia ended up sitting alone in the empty living room, waiting from early morning until noon.Her phone buzzed with a social media notification. [Renowned artist Andres Gardner stands in support of his junior. What a deep camaraderie between peers!]Camellia let out a bitter laugh. Of course he did.She stopped waiting and went alone to visit her mother's grave. She bought a bouquet of lisianthus on her way over.At the cemetery, she carefully cleaned her mother's tombstone, placed the flowers in front of it, and leaned gently against the stone. It was as if she was trying to feel the warmth of her mother's embrace.Andres returned home late at night. Just as he was about to ask why Camellia had not gone to bed yet, he noticed a bundle of lisianthus peeking out of her bag.It suddenly hit him that today was her mother's death anniversary. Panic flashed across his face."Baby, I'm so sorry. I've been so busy today that I completely forgot.

Camellia stood in a distant corner, watching through the gap in the dressing room curtains as Valentina and Andres’ entwined figures moved. Her heart twisted in unbearable pain.Her stomach churned violently, and she could not suppress the urge to dry heave. Her entire body was now convulsing uncontrollably.Tears streamed down her face, draining all her strength. She collapsed onto the floor, feeling utterly spent.As she turned to leave, she did not get to see the satisfied smile on Valentina's face inside the dressing room.Back home, the oppressive silence was suffocating.Camellia turned on the television, flipping to a random channel. It was broadcasting a segment on Andres' latest art exhibition.The painting featured a girl in a bright yellow dress running freely through a field. The commentators remarked on how drastically different this piece was from Andres' earlier works.It no longer exuded a soft, reserved gentleness but instead brimmed with vitality and energy.T

The phone slipped from Andres' hand, and he collapsed to the ground as though all the strength had been drained from his body.The voice on the other end of the line kept saying, "Hello? Hello?"Andres did not seem to hear it. He frantically replayed the video on Cohen's phone over and over again."This isn't possible. It can't be Cam. It's not her…"Cohen's expression was tense, and he simply grabbed Andres and pulled him toward the car.The Lamborghini roared to life as the accelerator was slammed. The pair sped through countless red lights and finally arrived at Eterna Haven."Mr. Gardner, our condolences," someone said solemnly.The words seemed to ignite something in Andres. He broke free from Cohen's grip and swung a fist at the man's face."How dare you curse my Cam! She's not dead! My Cam isn't dead! Why are you cursing her?"His emotions spiraled out of control as several people worked together to restrain him and pin him to the ground.The man who had been struck to

Andres felt an instant headache coming on.He never expected Valentina to have enough influence to convince Camellia's father, Cairo Shaw, to intervene and save her.Watching Andres' darkened expression, Valentina laughed hysterically. "Andres, do you really think you can get rid of me? Let me tell you this—that's never going to happen in this lifetime!"Ignoring her outburst, Andres turned and rushed out, heading straight home.Shortly after he left, Valentina was taken into custody under the pretext of being a threat to others due to her mental instability. She was sent to 600, Willford, South Road, Saltsburg's most renowned psychiatric hospital.It was the same facility where her sister Nelina's attending physician had worked, and now, he was Valentina's new doctor.Andres did not even wait for the car to come to a full stop before storming into the house.In the living room, Cairo and Andres' father, Matthew Gardner, were laughing heartily about something, clearly enjoying t
