Victoria rose to her feet after she was done speaking. She didn't spare Caden another glance as she turned around and strode toward the exit.

"Vicky…" Caden mumbled weakly, summoning the last of his strength to call out to her in a voice that was thick with tears and hopelessness.

Victoria paused at the entrance, but she didn't look back. She grasped the handle and opened the door.

She grasped the handle and opened the door.Lucas was standing outside, looking at her with firm but gentle eyes.When Victoria approached him, he laced their fingers together as if it was the most natural thing in the world, intertwining their fingers tightly.The two of them walked away from the hospital room without looking back even once until they disappeared around the corner of the hallway.Caden lay on the bed and stared at the empty doorway. Tears spilled from the corners of his eyes and soaked the pillow as he watched the image of Victoria's resolute back grow smaller and smaller. He knew he had lost her for good this time. He had lo

    Lucas held Victoria tightly as the latter stared at the gruesome sight before her with wide eyes. She almost felt as if her heart had stopped beating for a few seconds.She could recall with crystal-clear clarity how Caden had looked at her before he was sent flying.There hadn't been even an ounce of fear or regret in his eyes. On the contrary, there had only been relief, along with a complicated emotion that seemed to say, "Look. I'm the one who's saving you this time.""Caden!" Lucas shouted when he snapped back to his senses. He tightened his grip around Victoria, who was shivering violently, while barking orders at the bodyguards and security guards, who had just rushed onto the scene. "Call an ambulance! Now!"Chaos erupted in the parking lot.Victoria's face turned as white as a sheet as she stared at Caden's unmoving figure that was lying in a pool of his own blood. She couldn't stop herself from shaking. Although she had fallen out of love with him—although there exis

Her eyes reddened slightly when she accepted the weighty trophy from the presenter, but her smile remained dazzlingly radiant.Her acceptance speech was short and sweet as she thanked the directors and the film crew. Nearing the end of her speech, her eyes found Lucas. Her voice was gentle but firm when she said, "Finally, I would like to specially thank my lover, Lucas Felton."Thank you for always being by my side—for giving me your strength and support. Half of this trophy belongs to you."The cameras immediately focused on Lucas, who had risen to his feet and blew a kiss in Victoria's direction. His eyes were glimmering with t

    Sycamore leaves scattered all over the ground when fall arrived, lining the streets in gold.Victoria had a cashmere shawl wrapped around her shoulders as she sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, enjoying the sunlight that spilled in through the glass. She was scanning through a movie script that had just been sent to her.Lucas was sitting cross-legged on the carpet, typing away on his laptop as he worked. He would occasionally look up and shoot a gentle look in Victoria's direction.The peaceful and warm atmosphere was shattered when several headlines suddenly popped up on Victoria's tablet."Breaking News! Hugh Calloway, President of Calloway Corporation, Officially Apprehended by the Authorities on Suspicion of Embezzling Funds and Tax Evasion.""Calloway Corporation’s Stock Market Value Plummets! The Company Is Forced to Declare Bankruptcy!""An In-Depth Analysis of Calloway Corporation’s Downfall: A Mysterious Finance Tycoon Could Be the One Pulling the Strings Beh

    Lucas' voice had taken on a bitter edge when he continued, "I immediately chased after you when I found out that you had moved abroad. I didn't do it for any other reason. I only chased after you because… I love you, Victoria. I've loved you with all my heart since we were kids."Warmth spread through Victoria as she listened to Lucas' confession. She stared at him and studied the unbridled adoration and uneasiness that were brimming in his eyes.She remembered everything that Lucas had done for her in the last three years. He stayed by her side when she was experiencing the initial loneliness of being so far away from home. He silently supported her when she was facing challenges in her career. He kept vigil by her bedside when she was sick, respected her decisions, and never pressured her into doing anything.His companionship was warm and steady.Lucas took her hand. The skin of his palm was dry but warm."I know that you're still hurt, Vicky. I know you haven't fully let go

    Caden felt as if time stood still for a few seconds when he made eye contact with Victoria.His heart that had been stuck in his throat for the last few days finally plummeted back into his chest when he noticed that she was safe and unharmed.Immense relief and an inexplicable sour sensation washed over him, completely overpowering his rationality.Ignoring the piercing pain throbbing through his arm—ignoring how utterly pathetic he must look at that moment—Caden surged forward and pulled Victoria into his arms as everyone around them watched with bewildered gazes. He was clutching her so tightly that he nearly crushed her bones.His body was shaking uncontrollably. His voice was hoarse, broken, and thick with tears as he repeated the same words over and over again, "Thank God. Thank God, you're alright."Caden felt as if he was teetering on the brink of a mental breakdown just thinking about how he had come so close to losing her. Fortunately, he had made it in the nick of time.
