ログインToday, I am going to marry the man I love, Damon Mark Olson. We didn’t have it easy. I am the veritable Cinderella and he was my handsome prince. People frowned on our relationship. Even his mother never failed to show her dislike for me at every opportunity. But Damon fought hard for me. At the church, I heard the first notes of Pachelbel's Canon in D and started my bridal walk. Damon looked dapper in his suit but he looked distracted, and his hair looked kind of mussed. Tenderness swept over me. When I reached his side, he took my hand. An electric current coursed through our connected skin. Damon looked startled, and I almost laughed, The priest gave us his blessings. And to Damon, he said, “You may now kiss your bride.” I held my breath as Damon very gently lifted my veil. Our eyes connected, and I saw a swirling mass of emotions in his gaze before his head dipped and gave me a kiss that jarred me. He kissed expertly, too expertly, that my eyes flew to his face. And that was when realization sank in. I was not kissing Damon Mark Olson. I was kissing someone who looked exactly like him.
もっと見るGwen POV“A relationship may start with 'I love you.’. However, as couples navigate life, the original intent often shifts. “I love you” changes to “I chose you”. Even when the other partner is annoying, irritating, or loathsome.Damian squeezed my hand while we listened to what the priest in front of us said. I turned my head to the side to look at him with blurry eyes.He frowned and sighed when he saw the tears welling in my eyes.And then, he used his other hand, the free one, to dip into the pocket of his slacks to pull out his handkerchief and gently wiped my face with it.“ Love is not just a feeling. It is a decision.”I pressed my lips together to hold back the tears while Damian smiled indulgently at me.“It is by continually choosing each other that our relationship grows. Like a plant, it thrives in various weather conditions. Sometimes, the heat will be too much, or too much rain will drown it, even the snow can make it die.”I smiled back and licked my lips. Damian’s ey
Gwen POVEvery day, Damian’s condition continued to improve. Doctors said that his tests came back normal and that he would be given his discharge orders in just a few days.I was happy to hear it.During those days, I insisted on staying at the hospital to care for him. Maybe it was my way of convincing myself that he is awake. That he was already in a comatose state.But there are moments, especially when he was asleep, that I would watch his face for a long time.We haven’t talked about his family. I had no idea what happened to him except, of course, with Damon, but that’s just it.Damian also did not ask about them. He was concentrating on his healing.Jo and Dr. Chloe came to visit. Their vacation was up, and they had to leave for Roadster City. They asked if I wanted to join them, but since I don't have anywhere to go back to, and I couldn’t be calm knowing Damian is still here, I decided to forgo my trip back home.When the two left, Damian looked at me. Then, he bowed his hea
Damian POVI was dreaming. I was sure that in my eagerness to see her and smell her, I dreamt of her.Gwen!Her name etched itself on my head.Reluctantly, I opened my eyes, and all I saw were white ceilings and walls.At first, I had no recollection of what had happened or why I ended up in this place. A hospital.The stench of antiseptics and that distinct smell of medicine made me want to puke.And then, the door opened, and a man in white came in.I began to pull myself up, but every muscle protested with every move.“Mr. Olson. Don’t move just yet. You might strain your wound.”At the warning, my head bent low, and I saw a gauze on my chest. “What happened?” I asked, trying to collect my thoughts. “And where am I? Was I still in Greece?”“You sustained a gunshot wound. And yes, you are in Greece.”I sighed. I wanted to ask him so many questions. How about my friends? Where are Mason and Baron? What happened to my family?But I could not move my mouth. It was as if it had suddenly
Gwen POVWhen I turned away from Damon, my shoulders began to shake. I clamped a hand to my lips and began to sob.I ran toward the exit and saw Baron waiting for me.He held my hand. “Gwen.” He called out my name when I began to stutter, telling him about how I felt that this was all my fault.Baron grabbed me and hugged me. “Don’t blame yourself, Gwen. We are all accountable for our actions. Just like how Damin and Damon were accountable to theirs.”“I came between them. I pushed them apart.” I said in between sobs as self-recriminations filled me.If I had just stayed married to Damon and not left Cadillac City, maybe the brothers would have patched things up.Baron pushed me and held me at arm’s length.He shook me as if to put some sense into me.“No, you didn’t. They already had a rift even before you came into the picture. It was not your fault. Damian does not want you to do that. He wanted you happy and at peace, even if it meant that he had to leave you alone. Hadn’t he prov
Gwen POVI stood in front of the mirror, frozen in place as Damian's worried gaze swept my frame from head to foot. It lingered on my face, and his brows furrowed into a frown.I looked back in the mirror to study my reflection, only to gasp in dismay because to anyone it was unmistakable that I cr
Gwen POVI went back to my job of scrubbing floors at the lobby, my usual assignment, which I gathered came from Genna herself.It was her little act of wickedness, showing everyone around that I, the boss’s wife, was relegated to scrubbing floors in the lobby. She was pulling rank, reminding me th

Gwen POVI waited until Damian buckled his seatbelt and we were on the road, away from the prying eyes of hotel employees, before I launched into a verbal attack.“What was that stunt for?” I snapped, clearly irritated that he had taken me against my will.He even warned me not to pip a squeak beca
