Amusement poked through Seraphine's voice. "Okay, okay. It's the weekend, so I'll see you after breakfast. Didn't you always want to meet Eli? He happens to be free today.""Awesome! I'd wanted to meet him five years ago," Lorraine said excitedly. "Today, I can finally see what he looks like."She lay on the hospital bed, her eyes sparkling with anticipation. It was as if she finally received something she had waited years for. Still, beneath that excitement, another worry pressed on her."You know, Sera? I get why you're questioning the car accident back then, especially when you've lost those memories. To tell you the truth, I've always questioned it, too."For years, that accident has been like a thorn in my heart. I can't count how many times I've wondered whether there was something hidden behind it—something someone didn't want you to know."And now that you've sensed something off, it only makes me more certain that what happened back then wasn't nearly as simple as it seem

Seraphine thought for a moment, considering Clifford's situation would take time to settle. "Maybe in three months…or after the New Year."Elliott considered it. In roughly three months, he would have everything here handled as well. He also wanted to spend New Year's with her."Let's spend the New Year together. After the holidays, we can move to Dirkane."She froze for a second, surprised that he was willing to stay and accompany her through a holiday she had been dreading facing alone. Her heart softened into joy."Okay!" she said with a bright smile, then took another bite of the waffle.As Elliott watched her eat, his fingers tightened ever so slightly around the ring box. Suddenly, he stood, tall and commanding, an air of unrestrained dominance radiating from him.He stepped in front of Seraphine and, without warning, dropped to one knee.Her breath caught. She looked at his tender expression, asking, "E-Eli, what are you doing?"He opened the ring box, and inside lay the

Elliott disagreed. A proper custom wedding dress would take at least six months to make, and Seraphine certainly deserved the very best."A wedding dress takes at least six months to make, Sera. I'm planning to use diamonds and top-grade emerald stones for yours. I want you to be the most beautiful bride this world has ever seen," he said, eyes sparkling with anticipation.Seraphine blinked at him, looking adorably stunned. "Diamonds are expensive, Eli. We should save the money for our… kids. I appreciate your sincerity, but raising a child is costly nowadays. If circumstances allow, we can even have more than one."She was totally making things up—she just felt there was no need for him to splurge.Her words naturally caught him off guard. He straightened up in excitement, almost at a loss for how to react. "O-Okay, then! We'll have a few! Hopefully, all girls… and then one boy so he could protect his older sisters."Now, Seraphine was stumped. She didn't know how to get herself

Before Seraphine could say anything, Elliott answered for her. "She's got a date."Lorraine understood instantly and nodded. "Got it, got it. I won't get in the way of your date, then. I need to head back to the hospital and get discharged. I can't stay there any longer. If I do, I'll go crazy."I must get out of there today, crawl into my comfy bed at home for three full days, and eat some really good food."Seraphine was worried about her going alone. "Let me and Eli take you home."They could make time in the afternoon, have their date afterward, and make dinner at home later. Honestly, the past few days had been really fulfilling for her.Lorraine turned her down with a smile, saying, "No, don't worry about me. My driver's waiting downstairs. You two enjoy your date. Have fun!"She turned to Elliott. "Take good care of her, and don't let anyone hurt her—that includes yourself."Then, she stood up, smiling, and leaned toward Seraphine. "He looks really strong, so make sure yo

Ralph replied, "Understood, sir. I'll move now. I have to say… No one in the Greene family is clean. Even the old man has a mistress outside."Elliott set his phone down. If this were how Clarissa liked to play, he would gladly play along.He glanced at Seraphine sleeping in his arms, vowing to protect her from anyone who dared to break her heart.…At the casino, Clarissa's oldest brother, Stellan Greene, was pinned to the floor by two security enforcers, completely disheveled.He didn't even dare struggle, just stared up fearfully at the middle-aged man before him. The man wore a loud floral shirt and looked down with cold, predatory eyes."You owe me ten million dollars. I heard your family is bankrupt now, and that rundown villa you've left might fetch me only a few million dollars at best. So, tell me—what are you using to pay me back?"Stellan's face was mashed into the floor under the guards' boots, distorted and desperate. He yelled, "My brother-in-law is Clifford Johans
