When it rained, it poured. During a routine checkup, Leon was diagnosed with late-stage stomach cancer. The doctor bluntly stated that long-term emotional stress, irregular eating habits, and overexertion were the main contributing factors.The illness, the company on the verge of collapse, and the endless regret that consumed him destroyed the once-proud Leon.He lay in the cold hospital room, staring up at the white ceiling as memories of us flashed through his mind.He remembered my focused expression as I built the castle model and the patience and gentleness I showed whenever he acted out. In the end, his thoughts lingered on that private room, where he had slapped me hard across the face because of Vanessa.Tears silently slid down his face. Unfortunately, he had come to his senses far too late.Mercer Group eventually collapsed. On a stormy night, it declared bankruptcy and entered liquidation.After losing the woman he loved, his health, career, and dignity, the once-prou

Driven by desperation, Leon's behavior began to spiral out of control. He flew to Eldoria to find me, but a security guard politely stopped him in the hotel lobby."I'm sorry, sir," the guard said. "Without an appointment or authorized key card access, we can't let you upstairs."Leon tried forcing his way through. "Do you know who I am? I'm Leon Mercer! I need to see Audrey Callahan! Tell her I'm here. She'll definitely see me!"The guard didn't budge. He briefly reported the situation to his manager through the earpiece. "A Mr. Mercer is insisting on seeing Ms. Callahan… Yes, understood."Afterward, he said to Leon, "Sir, Ms. Callahan has given clear instructions not to receive any unscheduled visitors. Please don't make things difficult for us."In the end, every gift and letter he sent was returned untouched.…On a rainy night, like something straight out of a soap opera, he stood outside my residence in Eldoria. "Audrey! Come out and see me! I know I was wrong! I really kn

In the days that followed, Leon sank into endless regret and searched for me frantically. He called in every favor he had to track me down. When he learned I was in Eldoria and had been meeting with the young heir of the Graves family, he grew even more desperate.He called me over and over, but all he ever got was a cold, automated response. He messaged me on WhatsApp from every number he could find, but I blocked all of them. He tried contacting my assistant in Eldoria, but the messages were stopped before they could ever reach me.Finally, after countless attempts, one of the calls unexpectedly went through. He was so worked up that his voice shook. "Audrey, it's me! Just hear me out. I know I was wrong! I really do! I've gotten rid of Vanessa, and I won't contact her again! Please come back. Let's start over—"I cut him off and said calmly, "Mr. Mercer, things between us are already over. Please stop interfering with my life."He shouted, "No! We're not over yet! Audrey, we've

The call connected quickly. Mom's voice was as steady as usual, giving nothing away. "Hello, Leon."Leon took a deep breath and tried to steady himself. "Mrs. Callahan, did you know about Audrey… withdrawing her investment and resigning?"Mom kept it brief. "I did."His heart sank deeper. "Then… where is she now? I can't get in touch with her. She seems to have… blocked me on all platforms."The last few words came out with difficulty, tinged with hurt he hadn't even realized.The line fell silent for a few seconds. When Mom spoke again, her tone remained calm, but it carried a sense of detachment he had never heard before. "Leon, Audrey has already set off for Eldoria. As for why she did it, I think you know better than anyone."He was at a loss for words. "I—"Mom's tone left no room for argument. "The marriage alliance between the Callahan family and the Mercer family ends here. Audrey will start a new life in Eldoria. I also hope you… take care of yourself."Leon panicked,

When Leon heard the female employee's words, his face darkened immediately. "Who was the 1000th person to like it?" he asked through gritted teeth."It wasn't me," she said frantically. "Audrey used my phone to like it when she came in to process her resignation just now.""Resignation? Who gave her permission to resign?" Leon asked."Ms. Callahan is one of the company's shareholders. According to the rules, she's free to decide whether to stay or leave. This… this is one of the rules you set yourself," she answered."What about her shares?" Leon asked."Ms. Callahan already withdrew her investment a few days ago," she replied."She withdrew her investment? That's impossible!" Leon snapped.A trace of uneasiness flashed across his face, but Vanessa didn't notice and kept fanning the flames. "Audrey is just trying to force you to give in. She's only playing hard to get. Leo, don't fall for it."Leon said nothing and only stared at his phone. He wanted to send me a message. Then,

The next day, I went back to the office to pack up my belongings.When I pushed open the door to my private lounge, I found Vanessa wearing a revealing short skirt with her legs propped up on my desk. Her personal items had taken over the entire room, while my things had been carelessly dumped out in the hallway.Leon had this lounge built specifically for me. Everyone in the company knew that, and no one dared to walk in without permission. What Vanessa was doing now was showing blatant disrespect toward me. I had no interest in arguing with her, so I pulled out my phone and called the police.In the mediation room, Vanessa was visibly flustered. "I was just grabbing some documents for Leo. Was it really necessary to call the police?""That is my private space. Did I give you permission to enter? Taking something without asking is stealing," I said.She didn't dare talk back, and her eyes suddenly reddened.I immediately sensed something was off. I turned around and saw Leon sta
