Chapter 10

작가: Sunny Summer
A few days later, the manor had been fully restored.

Dario stood at the entrance. He was about to walk in when he heard Julia's voice coming from one of the rooms nearby.

She was speaking in a hushed tone on the phone. "She finally left. I've put up with her for three whole years."

Dario stopped walking.

"The slap incident? I provoked her on purpose so she'd hit me, and Dario actually believed it was her fault." Julia chuckled. "And the foot-washing thing too. I did that deliberately. You sh

  • From Roses to Ashes   Chapter 23

    After the wedding ended, Daisy and Caleb flew to Santorini for their honeymoon.Mia stood outside airport security with tears in her eyes.Daisy laughed from behind the barrier. "If you keep crying, your makeup's going to run.""I don't care." Mia wiped her eyes. "Just come back soon."Caleb took Daisy's hand and led her into the terminal.After the plane took off, Daisy leaned against Caleb's shoulder and watched the coastline grow farther and farther away.Caleb held her hand and gently rubbed his thumb across the back of it.Greece was filled with white buildings and blue rooftops.They drank wine together on balconies, walked along the shoreline, got lost in narrow alleyways, and laughed while finding their way back.Sometimes, when Caleb fell asleep, Daisy would turn to look at him.When he slept, his brows relaxed completely, unlike the guarded expression he always wore during the day.She would watch him for a long time before leaning closer and resting her cheek agai

    After returning to the manor, Dario locked himself inside his study.His consigliere brought him a wedding invitation.It was a white card with silver lettering, and it was embossed with the Anderson family crest.He stared at it for a very long time before finally placing it inside a drawer.That night, Dario sat alone in the study until morning.The next day, he started feeling unwell. His chest felt stuffy, and he had trouble breathing.He ignored it and continued handling family affairs as usual.By the third day, he could barely stand. His consigliere had to help him back to his room.On the fourth day, he couldn't get out of bed at all.The family doctor examined him but couldn't find a cause.All his physical indicators looked normal, yet he grew weaker by the day.In all honesty, Dario knew the truth. He'd always had an issue with his heart. The previous Don had died from the same condition.For years, Dario refused medication and examinations.Daisy's wedding invi

    As the car drove away from Verdant Manor, Daisy leaned back against the seat and stared out the window.Streetlights passed one after another outside, but her expression remained unreadable.Caleb kept one hand on the steering wheel. After a while, he finally spoke. "It's over now.""Yeah. None of that should've happened."Caleb glanced at her but said nothing else.The next morning, Daisy walked out from the east wing and stopped the moment she reached the living room entrance.The curtains had been replaced with new ones. A white tablecloth covered the coffee table, which was filled with fresh flowers.Candles flickered gently atop the fireplace mantel.Daisy stood frozen at the doorway for a moment.Caleb stepped out from the side.He had on a dark gray suit. His hair was neatly styled, and he held a navy blue velvet box in his hand.Daisy looked at him silently.Caleb walked over to her, opened the box, and dropped to one knee.His fingers tightened slightly around the

    The atmosphere inside Verdant Manor was heavy.Several doctors stood in the hallway. They were all invited from major families in the country. Every one of them had a grim expression on their face.When Daisy and Caleb walked in, whispers immediately echoed through the crowd.Enzo lay on the bed. His complexion was a waxy yellow.Dario stood beside the bed while Julia sat in the corner.The doctors before Daisy had each taken turns examining Enzo, but none of them could find the cause.When it was finally Daisy's turn, she had barely crouched down before Enzo suddenly began convulsing violently."Enzo!" Julia screamed and ran forward before shoving Daisy away. "What did you do?"Dario's expression changed instantly as well. He stared at Daisy and asked in a deep voice, "What did you do?""I didn't even touch him." Daisy stood up."He was perfectly fine earlier!" Julia held Enzo tightly as tears streamed down her face. "The moment you came over, this happened. Did you do this

    The moment Dario returned to the manor, he went straight to Julia's room.Julia was tucking Enzo in. When she saw Dario enter, she handed Enzo to the maid and stood up.The moment she saw his expression, she subconsciously took a step back."Did you know about what Sophia did?" Dario stood at the doorway. His voice was deep.Julia's face instantly turned pale. "What did she do?""She hit Daisy with her car. The Anderson family dealt with her."Julia's fingers tightened around the fabric of her dress. "I didn't know. She never told me anything."Dario stared at her without speaking.Julia lowered her head to avoid his gaze."Aren't you two best friends?" Dario's voice turned colder. "She deliberately hit someone with her car, and you knew nothing about it?"Julia bit down on her lip. "She's been acting strange lately, but I really didn't know she would do something like this."Dario didn't look at her again. He turned around and left.After the door closed, Julia stood where

    A few days later, Daisy was discharged from the hospital.Caleb brought her back to the manor and helped her sit down on the sofa."We found out who did it. It was Sophia."Daisy froze for a moment. "Sophia? Julia's best friend?""Yeah.""Why would she hit me with her car?" Daisy asked.Caleb was silent for a moment, "Probably because of me. She pursued me before, but I rejected her."Daisy slowly clenched her fists. After a while, she finally spoke. "So this is revenge over unrequited love?""Most likely." Caleb looked at her. "Once they bring her in, I'll take you with me."Daisy nodded.She looked out the window and stared at the gray sky outside.Two days later, Caleb's phone rang.After listening for a few moments, he looked at Daisy. "They caught her. Do you want to go?"Daisy stood up immediately. "Yes."Sophia had been brought into a room. Her hair was disheveled, and her clothes were covered in dust. She was pinned down in a chair.When she saw Caleb walk in, he
