"Cut out your ridiculous fantasies," Sheila said coldly. "That agreement between Killian and me was null and void ages ago. Our feelings are real now, so even if you could give me the entire world, there's no chance for us."

Kane had, of course, expected Sheila to reject him, yet he almost masochistically reveled in every emotional reaction she gave him.

Kane took a few sips of his coffee, then slowly rose and moved to Sheila's side of the table.

Sheila recoiled, glaring at him warily. "What do

    Kane had told her the night before that he'd be attending a bachelor party thrown by his friends, but now, he was nowhere to be seen. Had he drunk too much?She clutched her bouquet, fighting back the tears welling in her eyes. Every minute of waiting felt like a stinging slap to her pride. But how could he make such a rookie mistake at a time like this? Or perhaps, he regretted it and no longer wanted to marry her?“Jocelyn.” A familiar voice suddenly resonated behind her.Jocelyn whirled around, seeing Ben standing by the door, having appeared seemingly out of nowhere. His eyes were bloodshot, yet his suit and tie were impeccable. “Look at the time. Kane still isn’t here? He clearly doesn't care. Are you still going to marry him?”Jocelyn instinctively took half a step back. “How did you get in here?”He gazed deeply into her eyes. “It’s not too late to cut your losses.”Jocelyn said, feeling mortified, “Are you here to mock me, or to crash the wedding?”“I’m here for the wedding,”

    Sheila stood before the full-length mirror as her mother-in-law, Nicole, simultaneously placed the veil on her head. The wedding dress itself was also a personal design by Nicole, an internationally renowned designer.The gown's body was crafted from moonlight-white silk, intricately embroidered with scrolling lotus patterns in silver thread. Each petal was adorned with two deep-sea pearls, shimmering like a cascade of stars when she moved.The skirt comprised six layers of tulle that fanned out from her waist, the innermost layer embedded with tiny South African diamonds. In the dim light, they emitted a faint blue halo, as if she had draped the entire cosmos over herself.The veil was a marvel of ingenuity, woven from incredibly fine silver threads and edged with twelve teardrop-shaped sapphires. It trailed to the ground, and as she walked, the delicate chime of the colliding gemstones sounded like moonlight dancing on a lake.Even Sheila herself couldn't help but gasp in admiration

    Ben's gaze lingered on her face for a long time, as if he wanted to engrave it into his very bones. He slowly closed his eyes, and when he reopened them, all that remained was boundless exhaustion and despair. He turned to Kane, his voice low but laced with undeniable ferocity, "If you dare harm her in the slightest, I swear I will kill you.""Get out! Don't you dare pretend!" Jocelyn shrieked, as if pouring all her grievances and rage onto Ben.Bang—The heavy wooden door slammed shut, severing the two worlds.Kane pulled Jocelyn into his embrace, resting his chin on the crown of her head. "I'm sorry, I let you suffer. I promise I'll work hard to make your parents accept us."Jocelyn couldn't hold on any longer. She clutched his waist tightly, tears gushing out and soaking his shirt. "Kane, I only have you left… sob, sob, sob…"Kane gently patted her back, the tenderness in his eyes slowly fading, replaced by a bottomless gloom. He gazed at the closed door, a barely perceptible curve

    Sea City's western suburbs, a sea-view villa.Jocelyn stood on the balcony, gazing out at the sea painted crimson by the sunset clouds.An ink-wash colored shawl draped over the girl's shoulders. She turned, meeting Kane's deep gaze, and offered a sweet smile. "It's truly beautiful here. I'd willingly live here for the rest of my life."Kane wrapped his arms around her from behind. "Your parents are frantic looking for you now. Are you really not going to go back and see them?"Jocelyn mumbled gloomily, "If I go back, they won't let us be together, and they'll lock me up. I can't go back now, not unless they promise never to break us apart again.""But hiding like this forever isn't a solution either." Kane's expression turned worried as he gently caressed her cheek. "Still, having such a huge falling out with your parents won't make you feel good. I don't want you to be unhappy."Jocelyn turned, hugging him tightly. "I don't want to leave you."Kane ran his fingers through her hair,

    Alison flared, "Gloria, Brother, while I don't know the full extent of what Jocelyn has endured, it's clear Ben genuinely wants to help you, wants to save Jocelyn. If you're still going to be so dismissive and judgmental, then you truly don't deserve his help."She rose and walked over to Sheila. "Sheila, I'll show you out."Sebastian also stood up, slinging an arm over Ben's shoulder. "Ben, I'll walk you out too."Just as they were about to head for the door, Hogan suddenly spoke, "Wait."They froze, turning to look at Hogan.When Hogan finally looked up, his eyes, bloodshot and tear-filled, met theirs. "Yes," he choked out, "the girl in those photos... she ‘is’ Jocelyn."Gloria's eyes went wide, her face paling as she gripped Hogan's arm. "Husband, have you lost your mind?!"Hogan's voice was hoarse. "I believe," he rasped, "they won't speak of this. They won't hurt Jocelyn."Moonlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow on the scattered photo fragments.Ben ben

    She hesitated, glancing back at Killian. "He might not take my call."Hogan said, "Miss Emerson, I hope you can sympathize with us as parents. Please help us, just one call.""We'll handle everything else ourselves. We won't trouble you further.""I... I'll think about it and get back to you shortly."Sheila hung up and asked Killian, "Should we help?"Killian circled around and settled beside her, offering his analysis: "Kane made Jocelyn disappear precisely to leave Hogan and his wife powerless, using Jocelyn as leverage to completely seize control of the Pinks."Sheila worried, "If Jocelyn marries Kane, they'll undoubtedly join the Pinks' power to come after you.""Heh~" Killian ran a hand through the hair at the back of his head. "A defeated opponent. Do you really think I'm afraid of him?"Sheila: "I know you're not afraid of him, but it won't be easy to resolve, right?"Killian: "Of course, the best outcome would be to make Jocelyn see reason and not marry him. But once a woman

    "What did you say?" Kane froze at her words, and Sheila seized the opportunity to break free and push him away.Sheila gritted her teeth, repeating, "I'm already married. If you don't marry me, plenty of others will."Kane's face turned ashen. "Are you crazy? Married? Who did you marry?"Sheila sai

    Although it's a marriage of convenience, it's still a real marriage.Sheila wanted to fully experience it, so she woke up early to put on makeup and even wore the veil and little dress she had secretly bought from Kane a while ago.Originally, she had fantasized about paying the down payment on the

    Sheila struggled to process this for a moment, before finally asking, "Why? Just because of last night…"But Killian didn't answer her, only stared at her silently, his gaze like he was looking at… prey?Killian had looked at her with that same look last night.It couldn't help but remind her of th

    "Miss Emerson, do you know what you're doing?"Killian pushed her away, his Adam's apple bobbing unconsciously."I'm making you responsible, Mr. Ford! I feel terrible..."Sheila's eyes were glazed, her face flushed, making it easy to guess what had happened.Besides, Killian knew those dirty tricks
