“Ma'am, sir is calling. It's been more than ten minutes since we were waiting for Miss Alisha,” the driver spoke, glancing at his phone as it rang, displaying Alice's name on the screen.Of course, they weren't late, but Alice was calling to check on their whereabouts, as is common.Daisy frowned, acknowledging that it had indeed been quite some time. However, the car was parked right in front of the gas station, offering a full view, so there shouldn't be anything to worry about, right? Or should there?At first, she thought it might take some time because Alisha was wearing a heavy dress, but more than ten minutes was too long, especially with the dress.The heavy feeling in her heart only added to her unease, leaving her feeling scattered.On top of it all, Alice's call wasn't reassuring either. He would likely be angry if the car stopped, but what else could she do when Alisha seemed on the verge of peeing in her own dress? Daisy didn't want to restrict her freedom, especially not

"Mom," Alice knocked on the window, and the driver immediately unlocked the car so he could enter.Alice looked disheveled, his once neatly styled hair now falling on his forehead. The black suit he wore, once fitted perfectly, now had his coat hanging in his hands, and his shirt seemed ready to rip out as his body tensed."Son, are you fine?" Daisy asked as soon as Alice came inside the car, looking all stressed.She felt bad because she still didn't want Alisha to get caught, even though her own son, her own flesh and blood, would be in distress. But maybe she was selfish on both sides.If Alisha was meant to be with him, she wouldn't help in escaping. If she wasn't, then she wouldn't help him catch her.Truth be told, she didn't even know where Alisha was, so helping was out of the question already."I've already put my people to work. You don't have to worry," Alice reassured his mom as he grabbed her hand, trying to relax her, seeing how stressed Daisy looked.He didn't know wher

"Now that you're fine, it doesn't mean you're healthy, Mom. It's all because of me. I shouldn't have let you come; it wasn't necessary. It's my fault," Alice says, frustration evident in his voice as it trembles slightly, though he manages to control it.The stress of his mother's health and Alisha's betrayal is really getting to him; he's been through a lot in life.But when it comes to the only two people he cares about, he just can't handle it all.He knows he'll find Alisha, his soon-to-be wife; she can't keep running forever, and he'll pursue her no matter how long it takes.And then there's his mother's health; he just can't bear it when it comes to her. He hates feeling weak, but he can't help it—when it comes to his mother, he's at his weakest."I wanted to come to court with Alisha myself. It's your wedding, son; how could I miss it?" Daisy weakly speaks.She has lied about feeling unwell, but now, seeing Alice like this, she truly feels the uneasiness in her heart. She doesn

"Where are you going?" Alisha stopped in her tracks, not knowing where she was headed or what was happening. She had been walking, stopping, then walking again for so long she couldn't even count it.She looked back and saw a woman staring at her, giving her weird looks, which wasn't surprising given her appearance. She looked worse than a homeless person, her wedding dress torn, bare feet, mud-covered face, and hair tangled like a nest. Cuts and dried blood adorned her arms from broken glass.On top of it all, she had no sense of direction, just walking, running, and stumbling, dreading the moment Alice would find her.Now she found herself in the middle of what seemed like a forest, an odd place for a woman to be alone, and she had no idea how she got there."I'm taking a walk.""Huh?" The lady walked toward Alisha, making her nervous."Don't come closer, I'm just lost and I don't know where I am. Please, don't hurt me," Alisha panicked, her throat dry from lack of water and food al

"Mom, are you joking? We said nothing in front of her, but that doesn't mean you can just do this. He's a billionaire; he's going to kill us all," Levi grumbled, dashing into Maya's room with Rish following behind, his face solemn."She's right, Mom. She's dangerous. Didn't we tell you how he can flip and kill us for a ring that day? And now we have his runaway bride with us, who he's probably going to find," Rish completed his words, looking at his mother who sat in a chair, gazing out the window."Should we be scared? How will he find us here? Don't be scared; we're deep in the forest. Nobody can find us," Maya replied nonchalantly, glancing at Levi and Rish as she spoke."That doesn't mean we're safe, Mom. If he even gets a clue, he's going to dig our graves," Levi panicked."Remember the story I told you long ago?" "Mom, is this the time for a story? Did you even hear what Levi just said?" "She's the exact girl, the exact person we all need. We can't send her away. She's royal b
