Helen spent an entire day and night outside the villa, her head bowed, apologizing non-stop until she finally collapsed from exhaustion.When she came to, Andrew and Stephen were nowhere to be found.She was back in her own rental room.John and Yasmin's voices drifted in from outside, discussing what to do."We should head back home today. We can't stick around here. Helen won't just sit tight and follow orders. She's got legs and she'll take off again for sure. Let's leave while she's still out of it!" Yasmin urged.John agreed with a simple nod and replied firmly, "Okay."The moment the door swung open, Helen bolted, not even stopping to put on her shoes, though she made sure to snatch up her phone.With Andrew and Stephen so harsh and distant, Helen was at a loss as to who to turn to.In her frantic state, she thought of Chloe."Yes! Chloe's heart is so big, so she's bound to forgive me!"With that hope, Helen hopped on the next express train to Kingston City, determined

Behind the scenes, Jeffrey had his crew ease up on the watch they kept over Andrew and Stephen. It was not that he was dropping his guard. He was merely setting the stage for them to make their move so he could be one step ahead, ready for whatever they would try.His people got the memo and sprang into action.Meanwhile, Jeffrey made sure to drop a little bombshell on Chloe's parents—Andrew and Stephen were heading to Kingston City for the wedding."What? After everything they've done to Chloe, they dare show up at her wedding?"Felicia was livid. She used to sing praises of Andrew and Stephen, even saw them as potential sons-in-law, but playing with Chloe's life?Unforgivable.Chloe must have been through hell when Helen went after her. To think, her lifelong friend, her rock, had turned a hostile shoulder to her over some flowers meant for another girl.There was no way Felicia would let them mess with Chloe's head, trying to force her to figure out who she really loved. No

Stephen's eyes were red with fury, his hands balled into fists. With a fierce resolve, he swung at Jeffrey."Why does it have to be him? I can't accept this, Chloe. If you don't want to get married, I'll whisk you away! We can go abroad or back to Marina City, wherever you want. It's all possible!"However, Jeffrey, who could have dodged with ease, just tilted his face slightly, letting Stephen's punch graze his cheek.It was not a bad hit, but it left a red streak.Jeffrey clutched his cheek, which was only slightly hurt, and sucked in a breath, his face contorting with the sting. Still, he looked as dashing as ever.Chloe saw the injury and her heart went out to him. She reached for his hand, trying to get a look at the wound."It's nothing, really. I'm fine. It doesn't hurt."Jeffrey tried to laugh it off, but Chloe only grew more worried.When he would not show her the injury, Chloe's worry turned to anger at Stephen, and she demanded, her voice icy."Stephen! Why did you

The well-wishing part of the ceremony had just wrapped up, and the live stream of Chloe and Jeffrey's actual wedding was underway.They stood at the historic Ethan Williams Estate in Kingston City, in the midst of a wedding that was the epitome of classic tradition.The old Victorian mansion had been transformed, decked out in white silk and golden ribbons that glimmered in the light. The sound of church bells filled the air, weaving a spell of celebration that touched everyone there.Jeffrey, looking sharp in his traditional wedding suit, made quite the entrance on a majestic white horse with a stunning carriage trailing behind him.The brass band set the mood with upbeat tunes as the procession tossed silver coins and fancy boxes of sweets to the excited onlookers.People were scooping up the treats and shouting their congratulations, their good vibes washing over the happy couple.Over at the estate, guests were treated to gold-plated keepsakes and boxes of handmade sweets, li
