Chapter 15

ผู้เขียน: October Fate
The biggest news in all of Meridiana lately was that the Lovelace family—the undisputed head of the four great families—was about to hold a wedding! The bride was none other than the heiress of the Lovelace family, the woman who had miraculously survived a kidnapping at the age of seven and had kept men at arm's length for the 16 years that followed.

For nearly a fortnight, the media across Meridiana had been digging into every detail about the groom. Yet, apart from the fact that he was a man

  • Dropped for a Charity Case   Chapter 17

    A month later, Caelan was lying on the beach, soaking up the sun. Vivian, who was beside him, was applying sunscreen to his skin. Her expression was particularly sour as she glared at Misty, who was standing not far away, and gritted her teeth. "That shameless old hag's always attempting to steal my husband and play the mistress!"Caelan was already used to her endless grumbling. He rolled over with his eyes closed and responded half-heartedly, "You're my wife, and you're the one with the legal title. Why are you bothering yourself with her?'His words instantly soothed Vivian's ruffled feathers. She happily trotted off to get him some freshly sliced fruit. The very next second, he received another message from Misty. "There's a gala at the hotel tonight. I brought a set of cufflinks that go perfectly with the suit you had custom-made a few days ago."Caelan didn't respond. He merely rose to his feet and walked straight into the hotel. Not long after he returned to his suite,

    The wedding march gradually began to play inside the sacred, solemn walls of the ancient castle. Caelan stood at the far end of the red carpet, smiling as he watched Vivian walk toward him in her wedding gown. The priest stood between them and recited the vows. "Mr. Hanson, do you take this woman to be your wife?"A heartbeat later, a shrill female voice shattered the silence. "He doesn't!"The guests erupted into an uproar. Caelan, too, instinctively turned toward the source of the voice. However, the moment he realized it was Misty, his heart leaped into his throat. Misty had lost a frightening amount of weight. The red dress that had fit her perfectly now hung loosely on her. There was a new scar on her forehead, and her legs appeared to be injured as well. Consequently, she had no choice but to depend on her wheelchair to get around.Her beautiful eyes were filled with love and remorse as she gazed at Caelan. "I owe you an apology, Caelan. I was wrong. I thought if I let

The bride was none other than the heiress of the Lovelace family, the woman who had miraculously survived a kidnapping at the age of seven and had kept men at arm's length for the 16 years that followed. For nearly a fortnight, the media across Meridiana had been digging into every detail about the groom. Yet, apart from the fact that he was a man, virtually all information about him was inaccessible. For a moment, the entire elite social circle was dying to know more about the future head of the Lovelace family. …At last, the day of the wedding was upon them. Luxury cars filled the grounds outside the extravagant castle, alongside reporters from various newspapers and television stations. The sprawling lawn had been planted in advance with acres of Vendela roses, symbolizing "I have eyes for no one but you"."I heard... the heiress

    When Caelan arrived at the entrance of the conference room with Vivian, she took a step back and silently mouthed, "Gentlemen, first."He curled his lips into a faint smile, lifted his chin, pushed open the door, and confidently strode in to begin his presentation. His proposal was a resounding success. He took the employees from his department out for a celebratory dinner. When it ended, he emerged from the restaurant to hail a cab.The very next second, Vivian's car pulled up right in front of him. "Do you need a ride, Mr. Hanson?" A smile played on her cherry-red lips. Her fox-like eyes sparkled under the streetlights.Before any of his coworkers could notice, Caelan hurriedly pulled open the passenger door and slipped inside. As the car glided down the street, he closed his eyes to catch a moment's rest. "So, when are you going to make me official?" Vivian's aggrieved voice suddenly rang out from the driver's seat. She proceeded to list her rivals as if she was reading from

    "Misty!" Caelan jolted awake. It took him a moment to register the fluorescent lights above him and the office computer in front of him before he realized that he had been in Meridiana for almost two weeks.Even though he had promised himself he would forget Misty for good, he had dreamed about her again during his lunch break that day. Her head was covered in blood, and she was unconscious. He closed his eyes, drew in a deep breath, and slowly exhaled. At long last, he managed to calm his racing heart. "Did you have a nightmare?" A woman's light chuckle sounded from the door. Caelan looked up, only to see Vivian Lovelace leaning against the doorframe in a fitted bodycon mini dress. Her head was tilted as she smiled at him. Her captivating, fox-like eyes were filled with mischief as she asked, "So even our hardworking Mr. Hanson has a day when he gets so exhausted that he has to sneak in a little nap?"He felt his face burn under her gaze, and he retorted, "Sneak in? I'm taking

    The vast expanse of mountains loomed like a noose around the young man's neck. Misty stepped out of the helicopter and gazed at the towering mountains surrounding them. She couldn't believe that if she had never learned the truth, the real Ezra might have been trapped here for the rest of his life.The propellers whipped up a fierce gust of wind, sending the hem of Misty's apricot-colored dress flying and revealing the emerald pendant wrapped around her slender wrist. Upon closer inspection, it was easy to spot the imperceptible cracks in the pendant. Misty raised her hand and gently pressed her lips against the emerald pendant, murmuring affectionately, "Hold on a little longer, Caelan. I won't give up on you." Her bodyguards dragged the bruised and battered Mason off the helicopter behind her. Mason had been scared out of his wits. He cowered like a frightened quail as he led the way. Quite a few villagers recognized Mason from the houses along the road and mocked him in t
