Chapter: CHAPTER 260:THE DAY LUCAS CHOSE LOVEThe morning arrived quietly.Hilton City woke beneath a clear blue sky.The wedding venue was surrounded by flowers and soft lights.Guests began arriving early.Malcolm and Ben were already arguing near the entrance.“You're wearing your tie wrong,” Malcolm said.Ben looked down.“It looks fine.”“It doesn't.”Felicia walked past them.“Both of you are impossible.”They laughed.Emily arrived shortly afterward.She looked around the venue and smiled.She remembered Lucas as the struggling student who barely had enough money for food.Today, he was standing at the beginning of a completely different life.She whispered to herself:“You made it.”Daisy arrived wearing an elegant dress.She looked at the decorations.“This is beautiful.”Felicia smiled.“You helped organize half of it.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 259: THE WEDDING PREPARATIONSThree months later, Hilton City was preparing for the biggest wedding it had seen in years.But Lucas refused to make it about money.He didn't want a wedding that showed how wealthy he was.He wanted a wedding that showed how much Stella meant to him.Stella stood in front of the mirror while Felicia and Daisy helped her choose between several wedding dresses.“This one,” Felicia said.“No,” Daisy replied.“Why?”“Too serious.”Felicia laughed.“What do you suggest?”Daisy pointed toward another dress.“That one.”Stella looked at it.“I like it.”Felicia shook her head.“You two agree too quickly.”Daisy laughed.“Because we're right.”Across town, Malcolm and Ben were helping Lucas prepare.Ben adjusted Lucas's jacket.“Stand straight.”Lucas sighed.“I'm standing straight.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 257 : THE PEOPLE WHO STOOD BESIDE HIMThe morning after Lucas told Stella the truth felt strangely peaceful.For the first time since the beginning of his journey, there were no secrets waiting to destroy him.No Black Crown.No hidden enemy.No mysterious phone call.No inheritance condition hanging over his head.Just peace.Lucas stood on the balcony of the Crown Residence, looking over Hilton City.Stella walked outside and stood beside him.“You're quiet,” she said.Lucas smiled.“I'm thinking about everything that happened.”Stella leaned against the railing.“You've come a long way.”Lucas nodded.“Too far.”She looked at him.“Do you regret any of it?”Lucas thought for a moment.“No.”“Not even the difficult parts?”“Those were the parts that made me who I am.”Stella smiled.Then Lucas's phone rang.

Chapter: CHAPTER 256:THE TRUTH SHE DESERVEDThe room was quiet.Stella sat on the sofa, her eyes fixed on Lucas.Lucas sat opposite her, his hands resting together.For several minutes, neither of them spoke.Finally, Stella broke the silence.“You promised me.”Lucas looked at her.“I remember.”“You promised that when the time came, you wouldn't lie to me.”Lucas nodded.“I won't.”Stella took a deep breath.“Then tell me who you really are.”Lucas remained silent.She continued.“I've known for a long time that there was something different about you.”Lucas lowered his eyes.“When we first met, everyone thought you were just a poor student.”“I was.”Stella shook her head.“No. You were living like a poor student.”Lucas looked up.“But there was always something behind your eyes.”She paused.“You were hiding
