Lorrie woke up to find herself in a hospital bed, an IV drip taped to her arm."You're awake!" Laura exclaimed, jumping to her feet.Lorrie pressed her fingers to her temples, remembering how she'd fallen onto the inflatable cushion Devon had set up below the building.He hadn't let her down."Thank goodness you trusted Devon. Chuck would've grabbed you if you'd hesitated even a second. Now there's talk he's teamed up with Jack and completely lost it. Who knows what he would've done if he'd dragged you back?"Lorrie's voice was thin with fear. "Where's Devon? Is he okay?"Laura couldn't meet her eyes. "He, uh… something came up last minute…"Lorrie placed her hands on Laura's cheeks, guiding her gaze to hers. "Tell me the truth.""After you jumped, Devon fought Chuck's men. He got shot. The doctor said… he might not wake up."Lorrie's heart lurched. She yanked out her IV and bolted from the room.She stumbled into Devon's room and collapsed beside his bed, apologizing over an

During the auction, Devon leaned close to Lorrie's ear and whispered, "If you see anything you like, just raise your paddle. Don't worry. I've got you."The gentle smile he gave her sent a warm rush through her chest.One by one, antiques, curios, gemstones, and jewelry flashed across the screen, but nothing caught her eye.Then, without warning, the massive display lit up with a burst of scattered starlight."Next, we present a work by Fremoria's renowned painter—Eternal Starlight."Lorrie sat up sharply.Devon noticed right away. Without missing a beat, he raised his paddle, cutting through the flurry of bids. "I'll outbid them all."The auction hall erupted in gasps.Even Lorrie turned to him, stunned. "Have you lost your mind?"Devon just smiled. "Not at all. I just think it'd look perfect hanging in your bedroom."The auctioneer began introducing the final item of the auction. "And now, for our grand finale!"A massive cube was wheeled out in front of the crowd. The mom

Meanwhile, Lorrie had built a steady life for herself in Pavrielle. Her talent had earned her respect in the industry.Devon Winslow, Laura's brother, had quietly loved Lorrie since their school days. But after graduation, he'd returned to Pavrielle to take over the family business.He was overjoyed when he heard Lorrie was coming to work in Pavrielle. From the moment she arrived, he watched over her with unwavering devotion.Unlike Chuck, Devon took a different approach. When he learned what Lorrie had been through, he didn't hide how he felt for her, but never pushed. Every step of the way, he made sure she came first.One day, Lorrie, Laura, and Devon went to check out a new restaurant.At some point, Laura excused herself, saying she had something to take care of—maybe just to give the other two a little space.Outside, a drizzle had started to fall.As they walked out, Devon held the umbrella over Lorrie, angling it toward her side. Rain soaked into his shoulder, and his da

Every moment at Vinterra Estate was streaming live. And by now, the internet had completely lost its mind.From Chuck and Lylith's out-of-nowhere wedding announcement to his public rejection and the exposure of her lies, the whole world was watching, and they were in an uproar."The Fowlers are vile. Gold-digging is bad enough, but pretending to be Chuck's savior? That's next-level disgusting!""Don't act like Chuck's some poor victim! He was stringing Lorrie along as a placeholder. Even after announcing their engagement, he kept sneaking around with Lylith. No wonder his fiancee dumped him.""Trash belongs with trash. They're a match made in hell."Meanwhile, the wedding venue was in total disarray. But Chuck wasn't done with Lylith. He dragged the Fowlers back to his place and grilled them.Chuck got the full story from Wayne. Lylith had opened the kennel gate on purpose. And the scalding soup? She'd poured it on herself.When Chuck pulled up the police station's surveillance

"Where's the groom? Shouldn't he be here by now?""Did something go wrong?"Lylith's mind was in turmoil.Alfred scowled. "Where's Chuck? Don't tell me he got cold feet!""No way!" Lylith snapped.No sooner had the words left her mouth than Chuck stepped into view, sharp in a tailored black suit. She'd known he wouldn't let her down.The music swelled, reporters raised their cameras, and the live stream began.Beaming, Lylith stood face-to-face with Chuck at the altar.Smiling, the priest asked, "Lylith Fowler, do you take Chuck Bassett as your husband? Do you promise to stand by his side for the rest of your life?""I do!" Lylith replied eagerly.Then the priest turned to Chuck. "And do you, Chuck Bassett—""I don't."Lylith's smile froze. Her eyes widened in disbelief. "What did you just say?""I said, I don't." Chuck's expression darkened like a gathering storm. "Lylith, the person who saved me ten years ago, was never you. You claimed you had skin graft surgery for bur

"Where are you?" Chuck asked.Lylith's voice broke with tears as she gasped out her location.Chuck set down the USB drive and rushed out of the office. He sped through the streets, slamming on the brakes at the toll station and forcing another car to a stop.Lylith burst out of the car, her face streaked with tears. She threw herself into Chuck's arms. "They're all obsessed with marrying me off for money! I can't take it anymore, Chuck. You have to help me!""How?"Lylith sobbed. "We could have a wedding ceremony without actually getting legally married. Just to get my parents off my back.""No." Chuck didn't even hesitate. "Marriage isn't something you fake. People are watching, and it could blow up in both our faces.""You're just afraid Lorrie will find out! Didn't you say she's the obedient type? She won't care. And let's be real. She's only ever a stand-in for me."Lylith's parents, Alfred Fowler and Teresa Rhodes, called out from a distance, their voices sharp with urgen
