Chapter 9

Author: Snail
But Ethan replied to her in a solemn tone, "I'm being serious here. It wasn't until Elara left that I realized how much I owed her.

"Back then, I wanted to make it up to her by being with her for the rest of her life. But she doesn't need it anymore. And all I have left besides my love are these assets."

He lowered his head, deep in thought for a while before continuing, "I own thirty-six properties under my name, and all the money in my bank account—I'll give it all to Elara.

"After that, we'll move to the cottage house. Don't worry, it may be old, but it's sturdy."

Realizing Ethan was serious, Serena panicked.

"Stop joking around. Aren't you the head of the Larsen Family? You are leading a whole clan, how could you just give your entire fortune to a woman?"

Ethan answered calmly, "The Larsen Family's fortune isn't mine to dictate. Even if I run the Floren mafia syndicate, it doesn't stop me from giving my personal assets to Elara."

Serena was truly close to tears this time

  • I'm Back and Better Than Ever   Chapter 10

    When Marcus called to inform me about signing the transfer documents, I was in the university library, going through my lab research notes."You must be mistaken," I said, "I'm an orphan. There are no older relatives who'd leave me any inheritance."I refused the documents Marcus handed me and turned to leave for the lab. "It was Mr. Ethan Larsen's instructions. He's transferring all his personal assets to you. Every agreement here was signed by him personally," he said.I froze on the spot, my mind going blank."Why would he do that? I never wanted his fortune." I thought to myself.My leaving was supposed to give him and Serena what they wanted. I thought he'd marry her happily and forget about me completely.But instead, he sent Marcus all the way to Verenza just to give me all his fortune."Mr. Larsen wants you to forgive him. He said he's done things that hurt you. These assets are his way of making it up to you, and…" he hesitated, studying my expression before continuin

    Ethan had no mind to comfort Serena right now. His head was filled with what George said."She flew to Verenza yesterday. So, the perfume I smelled at the airport yesterday… it was really hers?" Ethan murmured, his eyes blank and unfocused.Serena grabbed onto his arm, refusing to let go."Didn't you say I was the one you loved most? You said you only felt responsible toward Elara. Now that she's gone, you don't owe her anything anymore. So why won't you marry me?"She couldn't understand why Ethan, who once looked at her like she was his whole world, would look so lost after finding out I left."No one's standing in our way anymore!" she cried.Didn't he fall in love with Serena? Why did his heart ache so much when he heard I was gone?Ethan clutched his chest and slowly sank to his knees. At that moment, he realized he didn't like Serena as much as he thought.The guests sensed something was wrong and began finding excuses to leave the venue. In no time, the banquet hall was

    At 8:50 am, the doors to the banquet hall swung open. Ethan's lips curved into a smile as he took out the wedding ring he'd prepared long ago. He dropped to one knee, his voice filled with deep affection as he spoke his vow out loud."Will you marry me, Elara? I'll cherish and love you for the rest of my life!" he said.Applause erupted around the hall, and guests began cheering for me to say yes. But as soon as the person outside stepped in, everyone was stunned."Serena? What are you doing here? Didn't I tell you to stay home?"This time, Ethan was genuinely furious. His expression darkened and turned grim. It was the first time he had ever snapped at Serena, causing her to freeze on the spot."I-I just wanted to take a look quietly… Just one look," she stammered, tears brimming in her eyes."I didn't mean to disturb your wedding. It's just… I thought I'd never have such a grand wedding in my life. "It made me feel envious, so I couldn't help sneaking in to see it. If it upse

    After graduating from college, I would sometimes visit George's lab to conduct pharmaceutical experiments. But ever since my engagement to Ethan, I'd moved out of my dorm in Floren and into his villa. He never approved of my wish to continue my studies."You're the wife of the Larsen Family's heir, Elara. There's no need for you to learn all that. Just take good care of our home."And so, I withdrew from George's project and turned down a hard-earned opportunity to further my studies. I locked myself up in the cage that Ethan had built for me.When I didn't reply to his messages that night, a faint sense of unease crept over him. He lay in bed after washing up, but he couldn't fall asleep.When I was home back then, I would always sit quietly beside him. And during his busy periods, he wouldn't even notice my presence at all. That flutter of affection he once felt for me had faded into a calm routine through the days and years.So it was no surprise that he fell for someone as liv

  • I'm Back and Better Than Ever   Chapter 5

    During the three days Ethan spent with Serena, he suffered sleepless nights. Even with the woman he loved beside him, he couldn't stop thinking of me.Even when he walked through the airport, he seemed to catch the scent of my perfume. I had specially made it for him, a perfume with a soothing effect.Two years ago, I borrowed George's lab and spent three days and nights creating it. Its sweet gardenia note, tingled with a hint of lemon, brought a natural sense of calm and peace.George once told me the formula could be sold to a major company for a fortune. But I turned down that idea without hesitation. At that time, I told Ethan, "This is a gift I made for you. As long as I'm by your side, you will never suffer from headaches and insomnia anymore."And true to that, Ethan never had trouble sleeping during the days we were together.Perhaps he'd grown too used to my presence over the years. Being apart for just three days already made him start missing me.Hearing Ethan's wor
