Chapter 11

Autor: Parallel
Wyatt’s indulgence toward Vera had reached the point of public outrage.

As her bodyguard, he accompanied her shopping, dining, and to the movies. If she casually mentioned craving pastries from a bakery on the west side of the city, he would personally line up at three in the morning to buy them. If her feet grew tired while shopping, he would crouch down and massage her ankles without the slightest concern for the stunned looks around them.

As the Wren heir, if Vera liked a new piece from a h

    On the morning of the fourth day, she stood in the living room and looked at him calmly."Seven days are up. I’m leaving."Wyatt’s hand paused over the coffee pot."I did say I would let you go." He turned around, something dark pooling in his eyes. "But there’s a condition. You have to choose. Are you going back to Julian, or staying with me?"Rhea let out a cold laugh. "I choose to—"Before she could finish, Wyatt suddenly pulled out a revolver and pressed it to his own temple."Two choices." His voice was terrifyingly calm. "You stay, or you leave."There are four bullets in this gun. Three blanks, and one live round." He cocked the hammer. "From this moment on, every word you say earns a shot."His life depended solely on her uttering the words, "I’m staying." If she chose to leave—even once—he would die.Rhea’s eyes widened. "Have you lost your mind? You’re threatening me with your own life?""No." He let out a soft laugh. "I’m gambling. Gambling on whether you care abou

    Over the next three days, Wyatt exhausted every ounce of romance he had left in him.On the first day, he took her to the tallest Ferris wheel in Blackridge."I heard that couples who kiss at the very top stay together forever." He stood by the cabin door, hope flickering carefully in his eyes.Rhea let out a cold laugh. "Then we should kiss at the very bottom. That way we won’t have to see each other in the next life."The light in his eyes dimmed, yet he still forced a smile. "It’s fine. I just wanted you to see the night view."When the Ferris wheel reached its highest point, the entire city lay glittering beneath them. Without warning, Wyatt dropped to one knee and pulled a diamond ring from inside his coat."Ree," his voice was slightly hoarse, "if we could start over—""There is no starting over." She cut him off and turned to look out the window.On the second day, he personally prepared a feast."I remember you like spicy food." He placed a piece of Blackened Cajun sea

    Wyatt had a dream.In the dream, he saw the garden behind that charity gala. The sunlight was perfect.He never stepped away to take that phone call. Instead, he stood beneath the tree and watched the girl in the white dress carefully lift the bird’s nest back onto the branch.She jumped down lightly, dusted off her skirt, and when she looked up, her eyes met his.He walked toward her, voice low and gentle. "Hi. My name is Wyatt Wren. I’d like to get to know you."She blinked at him, lifting her chin with mock arrogance. "Oh? Why?""Because you’re beautiful." He smiled.She let out a small huff, though the tips of her ears flushed red. "Since you like me that much, I suppose I’ll reluctantly give you the honor of meeting me."He bit back a laugh, thinking she was unbearably cute.…In the dream, everything unfolded naturally.He pursued her, and she agreed with reluctant pride. He spoiled her shamelessly while they dated. She curled into his arms and acted spoiled and unreas

    Rhea refused to believe a single word he said.Make it up to her?Those wounds had already been carved into her bones and blood. How could they possibly be made up for?She turned and walked into her room, slamming the door shut. She did not come out again until Wyatt knocked and called her to dinner.When she opened the door, she froze slightly.Wyatt was wearing an apron with the sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing defined forearms. Several dishes were arranged on the table, fragrant and beautifully plated. Every one of them was her favorite."You made this?" She raised a brow."Yeah." His voice was low. "I didn’t want anyone else interfering."Rhea let out a cold laugh. "You learned to cook for Vera, didn’t you?"His fingers stiffened. Pain flickered across his eyes. "Ree, can we not mention her anymore?"She deliberately mentioned her. At the dinner table, she stabbed at him with one question after another."Vera likes sweets, right? Did you use to cook dessert fo

    The entire hall exploded.A single joint project between the Ashfords and the Wrens could generate profits in the tens of billions. And Wyatt was offering to give up all of it?Rhea’s heart jolted. She knew Julian was a businessman at his core. No one would refuse a deal like that.However, the very next second, Julian let out a cold laugh. "No thanks."At the same time, the Ashfords rose to their feet one after another. Mrs. Ashford walked straight to Rhea’s side and took her hand."Rhea is our daughter-in-law," she said clearly. "She is not for sale."Rhea’s eyes burned. A rush of warmth surged through her chest.Wyatt stared at them in disbelief. In the end, he could only look back at Rhea, his voice nearly stripped of pride. "Ree, please. Come with me, okay? I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you."Rhea closed her eyes.When she opened them again, there was nothing left inside but resolve."No." She turned to the officiant. "Please continue."The pain in Wyat

    The guests erupted instantly."Isn’t that the Wren heir?""What did he just say? ‘Don’t marry him’? Is he trying to stop the wedding?""Oh my God. The Ashford heir just woke up and this is happening at the ceremony…"Whispers crashed over the room like waves.Rhea dug her nails into her palm so hard she nearly thought she was dreaming.How could Wyatt be here?She watched him walk toward her step by step. His suit was rumpled. Bloodshot veins webbed through his eyes. He looked like he had not slept in days."Don’t marry him," he repeated, his voice hoarse beyond recognition. Her fingers trembled faintly, but she forced herself to stay composed."Wyatt, what are you doing here?" She could hear the coldness in her own voice. "Aren’t you afraid your precious Vera will get jealous?"His breathing hitched. Pain flashed in his eyes."I mistook the wrong person." His voice was low and rough, as if countless emotions were being crushed down inside it. "Ree, three years ago, the one
