  She finally realized that she had been blacklisted. But by whom? Desperate for answers, she stopped Leo’s car in its tracks and pleaded, “Leo, I’ve already paid my dues to the law. Please, let me go. I’m begging you!” Leo stared at her coldly and replied, “The entertainment industry blacklist? That’s on me. But if you’re blacklisted abroad, that’s beyond my reach.” Leo sped off, leaving Nina behind in a cloud of dust. She crumpled to the ground, her face a mix of resentment, frustration, and confusion. Who had she offended with such immense power? With no other options, Nina turned to social media, relying on borderline content and livestream sales to make a living. But her efforts were constantly thwarted by frequent reports and recurring product issues. Unwilling to accept an ordinary life, she eventually resorted to working as an escort, desperate to maintain ties to the elite circles. Leo, however, had no interest in her fate. He had found comfort in a

  Jack returned to the church.Leo didn’t leave. He leaned against the low stone wall, lighting a cigarette. As the guests began to leave the church and head to the estate for the reception, Hunter and Tara emerged, hand in hand, their fingers interlocked. Tara felt the warmth and strength in his grasp, which settled her nerves. It seemed he wasn’t upset by Leo’s earlier appearance. Seeing them together, Leo extinguished his cigarette and quickly approached. “Tara!” The bodyguards stopped him in his tracks. Tara noticed his bruised face and the blood on his lip. Her heart remained calm, her gaze indifferent. Hunter’s voice was steady. “Mr. Carter, please refrain from harassing my wife.” The word *wife* struck Leo like a dagger, piercing deep into his heart. A cold glint flashed in Leo’s eyes as he growled, “If you ever mistreat her or make her suffer, I’ll take her back.” Hunter let out a derisive laugh. “That won’t happen.” Leo smirked with equal disdain.

  Leo couldn’t hear the murmurs around him or feel the countless eyes on him. All he saw was her—the woman in the stunning, elegant wedding gown. When she turned, her expression startled, it was like a bolt of lightning struck him. It was Tara. It was really her. “Tara!” he shouted, surging forward, his hand outstretched to grab her arm. Joe quickly stepped in, tears of both sorrow and protectiveness in his eyes as he shielded his daughter. “Stop!” Security immediately moved in, burly and efficient, pinning Leo down without hesitation. Every head turned toward the commotion, faces filled with shock, curiosity, and disdain. Leo struggled against the guards, his normally composed gaze now filled with desperation as he locked eyes with Tara. “Tara! Don’t marry him. Forgive me—please!” Tara’s initial shock faded quickly, her demeanor turning calm and composed. “Mr. Carter,” she said coolly. “We’ve already broken up and that was your decision. Please respec

  Tara’s gaze was clear and bright, carrying a faint trace of melancholy.Facing such eyes, Hunter couldn’t bring himself to lie. He spoke truthfully, “While this is a business arrangement between our families, I also wanted to marry someone I truly admire and respect.”Tara raised an eyebrow. “So, you investigated me?”Hunter’s sapphire eyes sparkled like gemstones. “Yes, and I’m very satisfied in every aspect.”Tara felt a surge of heat rise to her cheeks. The way he emphasized every aspect felt layered with meaning, instantly reminding her of that night in the nightclub. Her face turned the color of a ripe tomato.Hunter’s grin deepened, the curve of his lips impossible to suppress. “I personally selected some jewelry for you. It’ll arrive tomorrow. The wedding gown was designed by the most renowned designer in Birkham, tailored just for you. It’ll be delivered tomorrow as well for you to try on.”Tara protested, “There’s no need to go overboard.”After all, it was just a mar

  Tara was the heiress to the Keystone Group. After two days of rest at her family estate, she had fully regained her energy. She spent the morning galloping across the sprawling fields on her favorite horse, feeling refreshed and reinvigorated. On a small hill, she pulled the reins, halting her horse. Looking up at the open sky, she shouted, “Alright, I’m ready now!“Bring on whatever challenges lie ahead!” Despite her bold words, nervous anticipation churned inside her. For days, she hadn’t dared to look up any details about her fiancé—not his appearance, nor his background. But now, she steeled herself, ready to face the unknown. Taking a deep breath, she pulled out her phone, determined to search for information about him. Just as she opened her browser, her phone rang. She answered through her Bluetooth headset. Joe’s voice came through, warm and familiar. “Tara, come back. Your brother’s home.” It had been over six months since Tara last saw Jack S

  Leo took the earliest flight to Birkham. Standing in the bustling airport terminal, he felt utterly lost and uneasy. This wasn’t his turf. He was completely in the dark. Where could he find Tara? Where was she? Although he had already reached out to some contacts for help, there hadn’t been any updates yet. With no other choice, he checked into a hotel. The waiting was unbearable, and he found himself restless. He pulled out his phone and left messages on all of Tara’s social media and online accounts, only to find that everything—shopping apps, reading platforms, everything—had been deactivated.She was erasing herself completely from his world.His chest ached, as though pierced by a thousand needles.Defeated, he walked over to the floor-to-ceiling windows and stared at the dazzling lights of the dreamlike Birkham night. Lighting one cigarette after another, he muttered, “Tara... I love you. I didn’t even realize how deeply until now. “Come back to m
