Yaslyn realized that Owen would also be attending the fashion show. The earlier she could make contact with him, the better her chances. If she had to be utilized by someone else to achieve her objective, she would relent. The mission was paramount.The next morning, Yerick roused Yaslyn from her deep slumber. Yawning, she sat up, glaring at the man who dared to disturb her rest. "Yerick! What is it—""You'd better get up," Yerick interjected. "We're heading to the fashion show soon, and if you don't get ready, you might have to find your own way there."It's not like a home where one could easily hail a cab. Infuriatingly, Yerick had only one car. Was that on purpose?"Is this for me?" Turning her attention to a large box on the table, she suspected it contained a gown. Upon opening it, she discovered an elegant, understated black mermaid dress, just her style.Yerick nodded. "Who else would it be for?""How did you know my size?" Yaslyn eyed him suspiciously.Yerick coughed, h

Yaslyn had never faced such a challenging decision before. Meeting Xoan's intense gaze, she took a deep breath, grasped Yerick's arm tightly, and declared, "We finished our chapter a long time ago, just as you said. Stop pursuing me now."Not wanting Xoan to bring up their shared past, she quickly turned to Yerick, "You mentioned showing me something fascinating earlier. Let's go."Yerick, caught off-guard by her sudden choice, glanced back at Xoan with a triumphant smirk. In this silent rivalry, he felt like the winner.Xoan, however, wore a contemplative expression. He seemed puzzled by Yaslyn's decision. Nonetheless, she must have had her reason, especially when she made that choice in front of him. He decided he would inquire further later. For the time being, he took a deep breath and let go of his disappointment, even if the sight of Yaslyn arm-in-arm with Yerick was jarringly unpleasant.Having escorted Yerick to a spot near the stage, out of Xoan's view, Yaslyn finally felt

A subtle change came over Owen's face. "I'm afraid that might not be possible," he responded.The item in question was a treasured heirloom, passed down through their family's generations. How could he simply hand it over to someone else?Yaslyn wore a disappointed expression and said, "If that's the case, then it's truly a pity.""Why do you want this curved sword so much?" Owen asked, genuine curiosity evident in his voice. To him, the curved sword was just an ordinary weapon, albeit with a long history. Why did she set her sights on his sword the moment she saw it?Realizing her oversight, Yaslyn covered her lips and sighed. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have asked for it in the first place. It just closely resembles an artifact that once belonged to my father, so..."Sensing her distress, Owen softened his tone. "Perhaps we can compromise. If you truly cherish it, I might be persuaded to give it to you. However, the box I keep it in is at my home. Would you be willing to accompany m

Yaslyn's heart raced. She could hear pounding in her ears as her pursuers closed in. Fear clenched her chest, and she knew being caught would mean dire consequences.In her frantic escape, she tripped over a hidden stone and tumbled to the ground, grazing her knee badly."Just give up, darling. Makes things easier," Owen taunted, his laughter echoing eerily. Just as he was about to swoop down on her, an unseen force sent him sprawling."Who dares lay a hand on me?!" Owen exclaimed, feeling the painful impact of his fall. Looking up, he locked eyes with an angry Zyra. His face lit up with recognition. The young lady standing before him appeared even more innocent and lovely than Yaslyn, and he could sense a familiarity between them.Owen’s mind raced with newfound intentions, and he smirked sinisterly.Seeing Zyra before her left Yaslyn utterly speechless. How could Zyra be here of all places?!She could also make out Marcus' silhouette behind Zyra in the dim light."What is this

Owen studied Sadie with a piercing gaze, his face showing no obvious emotion. "Sadie," he began, "was everything you told me true?"Feigning shock, Sadie responded, "Absolutely! If I've spoken even the slightest untruth, let lightning strike me!"Owen's stern expression softened slightly. "What, then, is your connection with the two of them?"Sadie hesitated for a split second, uncertainty flickering in her eyes. However, with a determined lift of her chin, she proclaimed, "She despises me because she's smitten with Xoan, but Xoan's heart belongs only to me."Under normal circumstances, Yaslyn might have retorted with a sharp comment. However, Sadie was unwittingly playing into her hands at this moment. Yaslyn would be foolish to interrupt the spectacle before her.Upon hearing this, realization dawned on Owen. It appeared that things were as Yaslyn had described: Sadie was using him to get rid of Yaslyn.Although anger bubbled within him at this revelation, his face remained cal
