MasukDahlia's Point of ViewThe days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was once again time for the annual Bridal Queen Tournament.I had dedicated myself to the design industry in the past year and had managed to make a name for myself on the international stage when my formal dress series won numerous awards. I had established a haute couture brand too, and I already had clients lined up for the next two years.Instead of being a contestant, this time, I attended the Bridal Queen Tournament as a judge for the finals.I would occasionally hear news about the Evans family.Apparently, Felix and Leon became estranged after the big fight they had in Chaldon. When they returned home, they began fighting tooth and nail with each other over the family business.While Felix was ruthless, Leon was relentless. They were constantly at odds and misused their family fortune to fight each other. As a result, they lost a lot of their core talent. On top of that, several of their major inve
Dahlia's Point of ViewI assumed Leon would leave me alone after I exposed his true character in public, so I dedicated myself to my new designs and creations. However, I had underestimated how stubborn the Evans brothers could be. Leon didn't stay away from me as I hoped he would. He continued to show up before me, but in different ways.Sometimes, he was like a ghost, silently following me from a distance away. Sometimes, he would pace outside my studio and leave expensive gifts and handwritten apology letters in messy handwriting, claiming how much he regretted things.He even tried to contact my studio, pretending to be a sponsor, but Mina and I denied his requests ruthlessly. He stubbornly refused to give up on me. The way he stared at me every time he spotted me also made it seem like I was the one who had betrayed his love.I was utterly annoyed by him. He reminded me of a fly that continued to buzz around me no matter how hard I tried to swat it away.I was more surprise
Third-Person Point of ViewLife abroad was not as difficult as Dahlia expected it to be. After freeing herself from the shackles of the past, she dedicated herself to learning and creating.She learned from the experts at the best team and rediscovered her inner self with the guidance of a psychological counselor. She was buried to her elbows in work every day, but life felt fulfilling.A week later, she ran into Leon while she was discussing the inspiration for the next season's silhouette with Mina.The sunlight felt warm on her skin as it shone down on them, reflecting the calm, hopeful state of her heart.Just then, a figure suddenly barged into their space and shattered the peace. It was none other than Leon.He had deliberately cast aside his old habit of copying Felix's refined style and was dressed in a trendy hoodie and ripped jeans. He even wore a shiny diamond stud in his ear in an attempt to present himself as a cynical bad boy.Felix and Leon had been indistinguish
Third-Person Point of ViewFelix's knuckles turned white from how hard he was gripping his phone as he listened to the cold voice echoing from the other end of the line.A crack formed on his calm, handsome face for the first time. A turbulent mix of disbelief, bewilderment, and a panic that he had never experienced before raged within him.He refused to believe that Dahlia had blocked his number. He didn't think she had the guts to do such a thing.A wicked smile stretched across Leon's face as he took in Felix's upset expression as the latter tried to call Dahlia again."It seems that she doesn't know her place yet. You should just focus on staying by Syl's side. I'll have someone find out where Dahlia is. Don't worry. I'll make sure that she personally admits that she's the one who plagiarized Syl's design."However, the results of his investigation was like a hard slap across both their faces. They were stunned when they learned that Dahlia had left the country.The smile di
Dahlia's Point of ViewEven the air felt fresher after I freed myself from that cage of lies and betrayal. I didn't feel tired at all despite my four-hour flight. Instead, I was filled with a sense of ease and relief, reminiscent of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.I was speaking to Mina Vulpona, my new colleague, when my phone vibrated.It was Sylvia. She had sent me a photo of her wearing the winner's crown for the Bridal Queen Tournament. She was standing next to the dress I had created, and Felix and Leon were standing on either side of her.She then sent me two voice recordings."Since your design helped me win the crown, let me share a secret with you," she said tauntingly."Felix never loved you. He only got together with you to help me. He hated you so much that he had Leon take his place when he needed to sleep with you. Also, Leon was the one who took those explicit photos of you!"Mina looked at me worriedly as Sylvia's smug, malicious voice echoed from my phone.
Dahlia's Point of ViewPerhaps given how compliant I usually was, Felix wasn't surprised by how easily I agreed to his unreasonable request."Go ahead and have breakfast. I'll send the draft to Syl."He hurried out the door after eagerly taking the draft from me. He didn't even bother sparing a single glance back at me, as if he wasn't the one who suggested that we have breakfast together in the first place."How could you be so blind in the last two months, Dahlia?" I muttered to myself. "How could you have mistaken his schemes for love?"I let out a self-deprecating laugh. I threw the breakfast Felix had bought me in the trash before leaving the house as well.I needed to sell my house and studio before I left the country, and I also had to compile all my previous designs into a portfolio to make it easy for me to start working once I landed in Chaldon.I was busy packing the things in my studio when the door was slammed open with a deafening bang.A few men stumbled into the
