David's POVThree years later, the main banquet hall—the one that Vivian had once turned into a funeral hall—was reopened to the public again after a bout of renovations and refurbishment.Russell sent me an invitation to the grand re-opening, hoping that Carla and I would attend the event.I hadn't originally planned to go. But when Carla saw the invitation, she tucked it into her bag."Why don't you want to go?" she asked."You don't mind?""It's not like it was the hotel's fault," she replied matter-of-factly. …Carla and I walked into the hotel on the day of the grand re-opening. The original backdrop had been dismantled, and the rest of the hall had also been redesigned with a more minimalist aesthetic.Russell greeted us with a smile."Welcome, Mr. and Mrs. Hartman. That incident back then caused quite a stir, and whenever we hosted wedding receptions afterward, people would always ask if something had happened here."Carla grinned. "Then, how did you reply?"Russell

David's POVOne year later, Carla and I decided to hold our wedding again.She didn't choose the largest banquet hall in the city or ask for tens of thousands of roses or 90 thousand crystal lights.Instead, she chose to have the wedding at a garden by the beach. There weren't many guests—only a small circle of friends and family who truly cared about us.Carla picked out a simple wedding dress. There were no diamonds or precious stones worked into the dress—only a small date embroidered on the cuff. It was the date of our first official date.When Mom saw that dress, she couldn't help but ask, "Carla, don't you think that the dress is a little too simple?"Carla smiled and shook her head, saying, "No, it's not. I want to wear this dress as I walk down the aisle toward David. As long as the dress fulfills its purpose, it's enough."A day before the wedding, I got a call from Melvin.Carroll Group had completed its bankruptcy restructuring. Vivian had sold off most of her assets

David's POVI held the agreement in my hand, but I didn't flip it open immediately.Carla looked out the window and said, "I know that you didn't use me to provoke Vivian. You stood up for me this entire time, and you also never put on a show in front of her."But the fact remains that we still got married on the most humiliating day of your life."She turned to look at me. "And I don't want to be the cure for your previous relationship, nor do I want to be known as her substitute for the rest of my life."My fingers slowly tensed. "Are you asking for a divorce?""I never said that," she replied, retrieving another document from her bag. It was an appointment letter for one of Emerson Group's overseas projects."The company needs someone to lead a project in Roveland. It's going to be a six-month assignment. And I've already agreed to it."If all you need is a marriage that looks good on paper, we can keep things as they are and just play our parts. But if you want a real ma

David's POVThe next afternoon, Carla and I arrived at the law firm right on time. Vivian was already waiting inside.She'd lost a lot of weight in just a few short days. Her waist-long hair she used to meticulously style was now casually tied back in a loose ponytail, and she just wore a plain gray coat.Her eyes reddened when she saw me entering the firm with Carla, hand-in-hand. However, she didn't rush up to us to question us like she did the last time.There were three things placed on the table—our engagement ring, a small piece of scorched fabric, and a statement that she'd already signed.Vivian slid the fabric piece over to me. There were just two barely legible embroidered letters on it. They were the initials I'd asked the designer to embroider onto the inner hem of the wedding dress."Only once for a lifetime," Vivian recited softly. "I didn't know that was in there until the dress had burned away. The Turners found it while clearing out the brazier, and I've kept it

David's POVOnce the full recording of Eric's last words was made public, the credibility of the long post Aaron had written completely fell apart.Eric had indeed mentioned Vivian's name on his deathbed. He'd said that Vivian was a good person. He'd said that Aaron could go to her and ask her for help if he ever ran into trouble in the future.However, he never referred to Vivian as his "daughter-in-law", nor did he express his wish for her to wear a wedding dress to send him off.It turned out that Eric's so-called last wish was just something that Aaron had fabricated from the very start, based on what little Eric had actually said.…Third-Person POVWhen Vivian heard the full voice recording for the first time, she sat alone in her office for a very long time.Her desk was piled high with payment notices, and her phone was flooded with calls from her shareholders and business partners.She grabbed her car keys and rushed straight to Aaron's house.
