2025-02-08 18:01:19Luana was holding a pillow, her small face resting on it, her long eyelashes covering her clear, innocent eyes.
Seeing her deep in sleep, Calvert couldn't bring himself to wake her. Worried that she might be uncomfortable sleeping upright, he bent down and gently picked her up.
The moment he held her, several fragmented memories flashed through his mind—as if he had carried her like this before.
He looked down at her peaceful, beautiful face and felt, in that instant, that Luana had once belonged to him.
But he couldn't remember her. No matter how hard he tried, the memories slipped away, and the deeper he dug, the more his head ached.
The pain was like countless worms gnawing at his brain, devouring every fragment of memory until nothing remained.
His face turned pale, and cold sweat broke out on his skin, but he held her tightly, unwilling to let go.
It felt as though if he released her, he would lose her forever—a feeli

His eyes burned with raging fury, and his voice was icy cold.Luana was forced to meet his furious gaze, unable to look away.She was terrified of this version of Cline but had no idea how to explain herself.She had lied to him that day, saying she had just met Calvert, because she was afraid of revealing Calvert's past with her.She hadn't expected Cline to find out the truth so quickly, nor had she anticipated that he would confront her about it.She had always thought Cline didn't care about her, so he wouldn't pay much attention to anything related to her.But she had underestimated him. If he could find out whether she had slept with Travis, then naturally, he could uncover this too.However, if Calvert found out she had revealed their past, he wouldn't let her off easily.With that in mind, Luana pressed her lips together and refused to explain.Facing Calvert's ruthless methods was still better than being misunde

Luana stumbled over her words, trying to explain. "I-I'm sorry. I didn't mean to lie to you before. Albion—no, Calvert—he and I, we...""It doesn't concern me."Cline cut her off coldly. "I came to you because I can't stand being lied to. Now that I know the reason, it doesn't matter anymore."His words felt like a bucket of ice water poured over her, chilling her to the bone.All the things she wanted to say to him were stuck in her throat, unable to come out.She forced herself to nod calmly. "Alright. Then... take care, Cline."As soon as she finished speaking, tears welled up in her eyes and spilled over. She quickly turned around so he wouldn't see.Behind her, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing. Without a moment's hesitation, he left the lounge.Luana glanced back at the closed door, feeling as if a knife had sliced through her heart, leaving it hollow and aching.Her legs felt weak, an

"Mr. Moriarty, I cross-checked the timeline of Albion's car accident and Miss Hammond's decision to sell herself. Both events happened on the same night.""That night, after Miss Hammond took Albion to the hospital, she went to sell herself to raise money for his surgery. She had no time to undergo reconstructive surgery."Hearing this, the discomfort and unease in Cline's heart gradually dissipated.The tightness he had felt that night, the kind that only a first-time experience could bring, was genuine.She hadn't lied to him about that. But...His cold gaze returned to the documents in front of him.Amnesia...Cline remembered when he had first forced Luana to sign the lover's agreement. She had refused at first.But after a trip to Washington, she had signed it without hesitation.She must have found out about Calvert's amnesia and signed it out of spite.In other words, she had been with him reluctantly all a

When Runa saw it was Gehrmann, her expression softened.She reined in her temper and pointed at the security guard, addressing Gehrmann. "Gehrmann, I want to see Cline, but he won't let me in."The guard, seeing that she knew Gehrmann, finally believed her earlier claim.Was this woman really Mr. Moriarty's fiancée?If so, he had just offended the future lady of the Moriarty family!The guard glanced at Gehrmann, who was casually observing the scene, and thought, 'This is it. My high-paying job is gone!'But to his surprise, Gehrmann patted his shoulder and said, "You did it well. I'll give you a bonus at the end of the year.""Gehrmann, how could you—"Runa's words were cut off as Gehrmann coldly interrupted her."He's just following Cline's orders.""Not only do you fail to understand our employees, but you also yell at them. That's incredibly rude."Gehrmann had seen her earlier outburst.

Gehrmann had just stepped into the CEO's office when he saw Cline, hands in his pockets, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the building below.The afterglow of the setting sun cast a light on him, giving off an indescribable sense of loneliness."Cline," he called out, but Cline didn't respond.Gehrmann walked over and followed his gaze, looking down to see Calvert carrying Luana into the car."They don't give a damn about us!" he muttered under his breath.One was Cline's ex-lover, and the other had once been considered for a marriage alliance with their sister.It was one thing that they were together, but they had the nerve to be all lovey-dovey right under the nose of the Moriarty Group."Do you think he'll marry her?"Cline suddenly asked, startling Gehrmann.He took a moment to realize Cline was talking."No way. The Coburn family would never agree to Calvert marrying someone

"Mr. Coburn, welcome home."Lois, the maid waiting in the villa, quickly greeted Calvert as he walked in.Calvert nodded and instructed her, "Go get a clean set of pajamas."Lois glanced at the girl in his arms but didn't dare ask any questions. She simply replied, "Yes, sir," and went to find the pajamas.Calvert laid Luana on the guest bedroom bed and looked at her peaceful face. The possessiveness he felt eased a little.He reached out and gently tousled her hair. A softness was in his eyes that he himself didn't even realize.He sat by the bed and watched Luana for a while before letting Lois in to change her clothes.After that, Calvert went to the bathroom to freshen up.When he came back to the guest room, he saw Luana had turned over in her sleep. He breathed a deep sigh of relief.When Luana slept, she was so still it was like she wasn't breathing at all. Calvert had been worried something might happen to her wh

Luana felt like Lois had probably misunderstood something, which was why she closed the door.Thinking of this, she became even more uncomfortable and quickly forced herself to sit up.Leaning against the headboard, she asked Calvert a bit awkwardly, "Could you take me home?"But Calvert didn't respond. He frowned deeply and asked, "Do you have any other health issues besides heart disease?"Luana's expression instantly dimmed as she felt he was doubting her. "I don't have any other diseases.""Then why are you struggling just to sit up?" Calvert pressed.Luana was taken aback. No matter how well she tried to hide it, she couldn't escape Calvert's notice."I'm just weak. I lose strength when I get tired.""Just weak?"His tone was full of skepticism, which made Luana feel uneasy.She turned cold and retorted, "Do you need to hear about a terminal illness from me before you'll believe me, Mr. Coburn?"Calver

"Could you please, Mr. Coburn?"Luana added, as if worried he might refuse.Seeing how eager she was to leave, Calvert didn't push any further.He handed the breakfast tray to Luana. "Eat something first, and then I'll take you home."Luana wasn't very hungry, but hearing that he'd take her home, she immediately took the tray.After finishing her breakfast, she struggled to change back into her own clothes.She had worn a business suit to the bidding event yesterday. The loose trousers conveniently hid her swollen legs.Once she was dressed, Calvert walked back in. She was thinking about how to ask him to help her downstairs when he seemed to read her mind.He walked over, pulled back the covers, and picked her up in his arms.Luana was taken aback for a moment, but he calmly said, "If you could walk, you wouldn't need me to take you."His words shattered Luana's little secret, making her feel a bit embarrassed.

Luana nodded in agreement and turned toward the stairs.But after just two steps, she froze, her fingers brushing the banister.Slowly, she turned back, her voice hesitant. "Clarissa, I came back as Dorothy... What about Gehrmann?"Clarissa had guessed that Luana had returned as her sister Dorothy the moment she heard Dorian call her by that name.Clarissa's smile was warm, reassuring. "I won't say a word to him or Cline. Your secret's safe."Relief flickered in Luana's eyes. "Thank you," she whispered, the word soft as a feather.As Luana walked away, Clarissa watched her retreating figure, worry knotting her brow."Is this luck or a curse?" she thought, "Leaving Cline only to be trapped by Dorian."At the car, Luana opened the passenger door and slid in."Home at ten seems early," she ventured, her tone tentative.Dorian glanced over, his indifference palpable. "Make it eight, then."Luana's lips twitched

Clarissa watched Luana's fingers tighten around the phone until her knuckles whitened. "When I first saw those messages flooding in, I tried luring him out myself—posed as you, planned to bring the cops. But instead of catching a creep, I got..."She trailed off, the memory of the man in the café still prickling her nerves.A man as cold and heartless as Cline—why would he cling to memories of Luana like this?"Anyway," she shrugged, "he never showed. Guess some ghosts stay buried."Luana's voice was a whisper. "These things... they should've been my fight. Not yours."Clarissa cut her off, "If it were me in this mess, you'd do the same. So quit with the thanks already."Luana nodded meekly, her lashes drooping as she glanced back at the phone screen.The mystery gnawed at her—Mr. Night's messages reeked of obsession, yet he hid in plain sight. Why?She couldn't fathom it, and frankly, didn't care

"I had no choice but to pull a dumb move—I seduced Gehrmann and took Naomi's spot as his bedwarmer," Clarissa said flatly, her voice echoing off the brick walls."I thought I could use him to get back at Cline. Turns out I was dumber than a bag of hammers—Gehrmann wouldn't lift a finger against Cline for any woman." She kicked at a pebble, watching it skitter into the shadows. "By the time I figured that out, he wouldn't let me walk away."Clarissa shifted her weight, catching Luana's profile in the dim light."But don't you worry, Luana. I ain't falling for Gehrmann's charm. This world's got exactly one good man left—Albion. And he's six feet under."So, I won't be that girl anymore—the one who pours her heart out for every little kindness, even when it's not worth it."Mentioning Albion again made Luana's eyes dim as if the light behind them had been switched off.She lowered her lashes, hiding the sorrow pooling th

Third Person's POVLuana tightly embraced Clarissa, hoping to alleviate her pain.Clarissa, however, patted her back with a smile and said, "It's alright. After finding out the truth, I was devastated for a while, but then I pulled myself together. I installed surveillance cameras and recorded every moment of their infidelity, which I sent to my lawyer."I won the lawsuit, but I couldn't get the house back. I could only recover the mortgage payments, the money I spent on him, and compensation for emotional distress..."However, what I didn't expect was that someone would expose Albert's bigamy online, ruining his reputation. His company fired him, and no other major firms would hire him. As far as I know, his current salary isn't even enough to cover the mortgage. Plus, his mother has cancer, which is why he keeps begging at my door."Clarissa's voice turned cold as she continued, "He thinks I'm still the naive woman I once was, that if he kneels a

Clarissa took a deep breath, opened the bedside table, and took out a marriage certificate, handing it to Luana."You two weren't entirely meant to miss each other. At least he kept his promise from when you were young and married you."Seeing the marriage certificate, Luana's eyes welled up.She reached out and slowly unfolded it...Name: LuanaName: AlbionBeside them was a composite photo of the two, dressed in white shirts, with a red background, their faces beaming with happiness.When Luana was eighteen, she had asked Albion, "When are you going to marry me?"Albion, engrossed in a book at the time, looked up and playfully tapped her nose with his pen, saying, "When I'm capable of giving you happiness."Luana pouted, dissatisfied, "But when will that be?"Albion held up his book and replied, "After I've mastered all this knowledge and become someone worthy, then I'll marry you."Luana rested her chin

Last time, it was her negligence that failed to keep Albion by her side. This time, she was determined to do everything in her power to protect Luana.Clarissa raised her hand and gently patted Luana's shoulder, hoping to offer some warmth.Time ticked by, and they remained in the same position until a man in a gray suit approached.Clarissa looked up at him, noticing his gaze fixed on Luana, and her tension grew.Before she could inquire about his identity, the man stepped forward and gently pushed Luana's head with his slender fingers."It's ten o'clock. It's time to go home..."Luana, recognizing Dorian's voice, didn't lift her head, her lifeless eyes fixed on the floor.Dorian frowned at her silence, then bent down slightly and spoke patiently, "Dorothy, come home with me."Luana raised her weary head and said, "I don't want to go home today..."She wanted to stay and support Clarissa, to quietly live for herself for

She couldn't believe it. Even with the news reports and Clarissa's own words, she still refused to accept it.Albion, the gentle and considerate young man who had cherished her, how could he have taken his own life in such a tragic way? It was impossible.Luana shook her head in disbelief. "No, he wouldn't do this..."Clarissa stepped forward and embraced Luana. She felt Luana's body growing cold, and her heart ached."Luana, I don't want to believe it either, but..."Clarissa's words trailed off, tears streaming down her face.Three years ago, fearing Albion might do something rash, she had followed him to the cemetery.There, she found no sign of Albion, only bloodstains on the tombstone.Her unease grew as she searched for him, but he was nowhere to be found.The next day, the news reported that Coburn Group's CEO, Calvert, had committed suicide at the cemetery.Only then did she realize Albion had truly done s

"Clarissa..." Albert wept and pleaded, "My mom has cancer, I got fired from my job, and the baby still needs milk. For the sake of our years together, treat me like a beggar and spare me a little help.""If you were truly a beggar, I'd give you some money to send you on your way, but you're not..."A clear voice cut through the air, tinged with exhaustion, coldness, and a hint of ruthlessness. "You're nothing but scum!""Clarissa!""Gag him and get him out of my sight!"At the command, the bodyguards immediately seized Albert and shoved him into the elevator."Humph, this despicable man!"Luana followed the voice and spotted a familiar figure leaning against the bar.The woman had a slender figure, waist-length curly hair, and fair, slender fingers holding a slender cigarette, while her other hand toyed with a wine glass.She tilted her head, staring into the red wine in her glass, as if observing another world from afar

Upon learning of this possibility, Cline simply said, "Thank you," and hung up the phone.He gazed once more in the direction the black luxury car had vanished, now more certain than ever that Dorian had taken his Luana.However, he refused to believe they were husband and wife.Russell arrived with the bodyguards in a hurry, seeing Cline standing in front of the smashed Bugatti.Thinking Cline's car had been in an accident, he quickly approached."Mr. Moriarty, are you alright?

Later, Russell found out that the medication could induce hallucinations when taken in excess.It was these hall
