登入I was getting ready to bring my girlfriend home to meet my mother when Rosalind Whitehall suddenly went silent. I was starting to panic when a notification popped up on my phone. It was a wedding livestream from a couple with 1,000,000 followers. "Looking back, the laughter and joy of that wedding celebration made it the happiest moment of my life. Mr. Grosvenor, I'm counting on you for the rest of my life." "We promised that once we hit 1,000,000 followers, the groom would finally show his face. A promise is a promise." In the video, Rosalind stood in a wedding dress and gently exchanged rings with a man. Our mutual friends flooded the comments. [Five years, and we finally got to watch you two tie the knot!] [The part where Victor read his vows wrecked me. Today was another day I cried over a real-life fairy tale.] My best friend proudly declared on camera, "As Victor's security guard of love, I can finally retire." As I stared at the familiar face on my screen, I suddenly couldn't breathe. Rosalind and I had been together for seven years, but for five of those years, she'd been in love with another man. My closest friends and our mutual friends knew, but I was the only one left in the dark. Everyone had been part of that wedding except me.

Only long after Jayden had been taken away did she let out a quiet, bitter laugh.Was she supposed to deliver Jayden's apology to Samuel?Rosalind did not even know if she would ever find Samuel, much less whether he would forgive her if she did.What right did she have to speak on Jayden's behalf at all?…Rosalind threw every resource she had into the search for Samuel: money, connections, everything within her reach.The whole affair eventually spilled into the public eye, and for a time, it dominated every major media outlet.In less than a week, the Whitehall Group's stock, once a market leader, crashed.Even so, Rosalind had no attention to spare for any of it. She poured every hour and every ounce of energy into finding Samuel. She lost all interest in managing the company and withdrew from its affairs entirely.…A year later, the Whitehall Group went bankrupt.Rosalind's situation only worsened from there. So much time had passed without any w
The instant he saw Rosalind, Victor froze. Then his eyes lit up with wild relief.Assuming she had come to save him, he rushed to her side. "Rose, you're finally here. Jayden wants to hurt me!"Jayden had just witnessed Victor at his most ruthless. Now, as Victor instantly slipped back into his fragile, wide-eyed, innocent-little-flower act, Jayden felt nothing but disgust at the stark contrast between his two faces.Jayden forced himself to endure the searing pain that wracked his entire body and looked at Rosalind.He ground out through clenched teeth, "Rosalind, you've been fooled. We've all been fooled by Victor—"Before he could finish, Victor cut him off sharply, "Shut your mouth!"If Rosalind and the police had not been there, Victor would have used every cruel and vicious method at his disposal to make sure Jayden understood exactly what it cost to anger him.But he could not do that now. He had to keep his image intact.Victor forced himself to calm down. He grabbed Ro
It was Jayden. His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was a mess, and his expression was taut, as if he were teetering on the edge of collapse.Jayden snarled, "You promised. You said if I helped you go after Samuel and ruin him, you'd delete all those photos of me. How much longer are you going to hold this over me?"What had Jayden so terrified and cornered were private photos of him that Victor kept on his phone.Jayden had once accidentally discovered the truth about Rosalind and Victor, and the fact that they were working together to deceive Samuel had enraged him.In a fit of anger, he had decided to tell Samuel the truth so that he could cut his losses before it was too late. But when he tried to call, Samuel had just finished more than ten hours of part-time work.Exhausted, Samuel had gone straight home and collapsed into bed.Jayden had called him more than a dozen times, but Samuel never answered.Impatient by nature, Jayden couldn't wait. He had headed straight to Samuel'
Victor, who had rushed over right behind Rosalind, found her looking utterly lost and broken. His first thought was that the body must be Samuel's, and a flicker of joy stirred in his chest.Still, he masked it with concern and spoke gently. "Rose, I know you're in pain, but you need to pull yourself together. We just finished denying all the rumors at the press conference. If a reporter catches you like this, the PR fallout alone will cost us a fortune."In the past, words like those would have prompted Rosalind to put the company's interests first without hesitation. But now, it was as if she had lost her soul. No matter what Victor said, she did not react.Victor reached down to pull her up. "The ground's cold. Don't sit here like this—"The instant his fingers touched her, Rosalind flinched as if shocked and shoved him away with all her strength. "Don't touch me!"Caught off guard, Victor fell to the ground and stared at her in disbelief.Rosalind practically crawled toward t
