"Serena… What is this… supposed to mean?" Silas asked."It's all there on the wedding invitation."I met Silas' gaze with an unreadable expression, offering no further explanation.He turned the wedding invitation over in his hands, scanning it again and again, before letting out a cold chuckle. "Really, Serena? Is this your idea of a joke?"You're quite the actress, huh? Choosing the same wedding date as mine and your groom is even... Levi Harrison, that cripple. "I know you're still upset, but I've told you. I helped Vivian out of a difficult situation. Once everything is settled, I'll divorce her. Is it really so hard for you to understand?"Before I could respond, a soft knock sounded at the door.Vivian Turner stepped in with her eyes rimmed with red."Silas, maybe we should just forget about all this. It's fine… I can marry Levi. It's just that I…" She trailed off, and her face was etched with quiet sorrow.Silas' gaze softened after seeing her pitiful expression. He st

The Walker family's private lawyer attended Silas and Vivian's wedding on my behalf, bringing along his secretary. But they weren't there to offer blessings. They were there to take back what was mine.I'd already said it once—my things didn't come so easily.I spared the farce a passing glance before signaling the driver to keep going.An hour later, I arrived in Southbrook City. Waiting for me was Derrick Harrison—Levi Harrison's younger brother.He was wild and full of energy. The moment he saw me, he threw out a warning. "Treat Levi well."Then, as if realizing he might've overstepped, he quickly switched tactics, flashing a grin and calling me lovely, well-mannered, and smart—the exact type Levi liked.To be honest, I hadn't even met Levi yet. Because of his health, he had sent Derrick in his place.After stepping out of the wedding car, Derrick led me to the room the Harrison family had prepared for me and Levi.As the door swung open, the first thing I saw was a man—tone

I spoke evenly, "Silas, the past is the past. I'm married to Levi now, and all I want is a peaceful life with him."Silas' eyes widened in disbelief. "But you barely know him! There's no way you would fall for him—not in this short of a time. You're just trying to get back at me!"The day I got married… It was you, wasn't it? Out of jealousy, you had the wedding gown and tiara taken away. Do you have any idea how humiliated I was?"Of course, I already knew. But wasn't this exactly what he deserved? And now—after everything—he suddenly remembered how much he cared about me?I met his gaze coldly. "Silas, I paid for those things myself. And let's not forget—the aquamarine gemstone on the tiara was my family's heirloom. Why should I have left them with you?""The day I took them back was the day I severed all ties with you. From now on, stay out of my life! There is nothing left between us!""I don't believe you! We have over ten years of history! You can't just stop loving me like

I hurriedly apologized and offered to pay for the damages, but the man simply waved me off, as if he was in a rush.At the time, everything happened so fast that I didn't even get a good look at his face. Only now did I realize that the man was Levi."I had a crush on you from the moment I met you. But when I asked around, I found out you had a boyfriend of many years. I thought it was just bad timing and that fate was playing a cruel joke on me. So, all I could do was hope he treated you well."But then, not long ago, I heard your family was planning an arranged marriage for you. That's when I asked my parents to step in and… intervene."A shiver ran down my spine. My voice wavered as I asked, "And what did you mean when you said you lied to me?"Levi hesitated for a moment before finally confessing, "After your engagement with the Grant family fell apart, I heard your parents wanted to avoid another powerful family to keep you from being used as a pawn again."So, I had no choi
