"Hahaha, look! The groom and his bride," Mr. Erik said as he stepped out of the sleek car with a grin, his friends following closely behind.At the same time, Mr. Valtor and Mrs. Julia exited their vehicle their expressions unreadable as they entered the scene."Dad!" Lena called out her voice light and sweet as she rushed toward Mr. Erik. Her shimmering gold dress sparkled under the lights as she threw her arms around him in a warm embrace.Max stood a few steps behind, now dressed in a sharp suit that perfectly matched Lena’s outfit. His posture was composed but his eyes flickered with questions.Lena pulled back, turning her radiant smile toward the group. "He wanted to show me a place that means a lot to him," she said with a soft laugh, glancing briefly at Max. "That’s why we left the wedding early. I’m sorry for the inconvenience."Mr. Erik raised his eyebrows and clapped Max on the shoulder with an approving grin. "Well done, Max! A man who knows how to treat his bride. That’s w

"I need to get out of here," Kristen muttered as she regained consciousness. Her eyes darted around, her chest heaving as panic set in. She threw the blanket aside and jumped out of the bed, her bare feet hitting the cold floor.Without hesitation, she bolted to the door and twisted the knob frantically. It wouldn’t budge. She pulled harder, her breaths coming in short, sharp gasps. "No, no, no!" she exclaimed while using all her strength to yank it open.Desperation took over. Kristen slammed her fists against the wooden surface, pounding repeatedly as tears streamed down her face. "Let me out! Please, someone, let me out!" she screamed, her voice cracking.When no response came, she stepped back and threw her shoulder into the door, hoping to force it open. The impact sent pain shooting through her arm, but she tried again, gritting her teeth as she leaned her entire weight into each hit. Minutes felt like hours as she struggled, sweat beading on her forehead. Just when she though

“That you two would be here today,” Mr. Erik said with a hearty laugh as he placed a hand on his wife’s shoulder. She returned the gesture with a warm smile, her eyes lighting up with genuine delight.“It’s been too long since we’ve had a chance to sit like this,” she added, her voice soft but cheerful.Lena mirrored their smiles, her eyes briefly meeting Mr. Erik’s before turning to Max. “It’s a rare occasion,” she said sweetly, tilting her head slightly toward him.Max, however, remained silent. His expression was unreadable as he glanced at Lena and then at Mr. Erik. His gaze lingered for a moment before he shook his head.“Yeah, so like I was saying,” Mr. Erik began, his tone cheerful as he leaned forward slightly. “I’ve arranged for a one month getaway to the Maldives for your honeymoon.”Kristen froze near the door, her heart pounding as she overheard them. She stared at the door as though she could see them through it.“I want you both to have some quiet time somewhere beautiful

Max gently laid her on the bed. Her face was pale, and her breathing was shallow. Mrs. Sophia rushed into the room as she quickly fixed her robe.“What happened to her?” she asked with a trembling voice.“She fainted,” Max replied curtly as he adjusted the pillows beneath Kristen’s head.“Oh, my goodness, poor thing,” Mrs. Sophia said, moving closer to the bed. She placed a hand on Kristen’s forehead and gasped. “Gracious Lord, she has a fever!” she exclaimed. “I need to bring something to lower her temperature.” Without waiting, she hurried out of the room.Unnoticed, Lena stood just outside the door, peeking in. When she saw Mrs. Sophia coming, she quickly stepped back to avoid being caught. Once the coast was clear, she moved to stand in front of the door, glaring furiously at the scene inside. Her eyes darted between Kristen lying on the bed and Max standing beside her.She clenched her fists as she glared at them furiously.Lena stormed into the room and marched straight to Max,

“At least say something,” Kristen said as she dragged herself to follow him.“Miss Kristen, I was instructed to ensure you boarded this flight. All your questions will be answered once you arrive,” Mr. Green said, finally stopping near the check-in counters and turning to face her.Kristen’s heart raced as she searched his face for any hint of explanation but found none. Reluctantly, she glanced at the bustling airport around her and muttered under her breath, “Is Mr. Anderson behind this? Has he finally decided to throw me somewhere far away from this world?”Mr. Green gave her a reassuring nod. “Have a safe flight, Miss Kristen. Enjoy yourself,” he said with a slight bow.Kristen mirrored his gesture, bowing lightly. She watched him step aside, his sharp eyes now fixed on her, as if ensuring she wouldn’t make a run for it.The boarding announcement echoed through the terminal, and Mr. Green subtly signaled her to proceed. Kristen sighed, nodded in acknowledgment, and turned to walk t
