All Chapters of Sweetheart Scheme: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

Dahlia's Point of ViewAfter ending the call, I switched on all the lights in the house and started packing my belongings. I only placed the things that were truly mine in the suitcases.I threw the necklaces, bracelets, bags, and dolls that Felix and Leon had given to me into the trash. Not even the couple figurines I had once cherished like a priceless treasure were spared. Just as I threw our last photo together into the bin, Felix—or rather, Leon—returned.He behaved as he always did, pulling me in for a kiss the moment he stepped through the door. In the past, I used to believe that was his way of proving his love to me. Now, it was nothing more than a preposterous joke.I shoved Leon away, putting distance between myself and his handsome face that was identical to Felix's. My heart felt like it was being repeatedly pierced by a thousand needles. The overwhelming pain made it impossible to breathe, and I couldn't stop my eyes from turning red."Babe, why are you crying?"Leo

Dahlia's Point of ViewEven the air felt fresher after I freed myself from that cage of lies and betrayal. I didn't feel tired at all despite my four-hour flight. Instead, I was filled with a sense of ease and relief, reminiscent of a butterfly emerging from its cocoon.I was speaking to Mina Vulpona, my new colleague, when my phone vibrated.It was Sylvia. She had sent me a photo of her wearing the winner's crown for the Bridal Queen Tournament. She was standing next to the dress I had created, and Felix and Leon were standing on either side of her.She then sent me two voice recordings."Since your design helped me win the crown, let me share a secret with you," she said tauntingly."Felix never loved you. He only got together with you to help me. He hated you so much that he had Leon take his place when he needed to sleep with you. Also, Leon was the one who took those explicit photos of you!"Mina looked at me worriedly as Sylvia's smug, malicious voice echoed from my phone.

Third-Person Point of ViewLife abroad was not as difficult as Dahlia expected it to be. After freeing herself from the shackles of the past, she dedicated herself to learning and creating.She learned from the experts at the best team and rediscovered her inner self with the guidance of a psychological counselor. She was buried to her elbows in work every day, but life felt fulfilling.A week later, she ran into Leon while she was discussing the inspiration for the next season's silhouette with Mina.The sunlight felt warm on her skin as it shone down on them, reflecting the calm, hopeful state of her heart.Just then, a figure suddenly barged into their space and shattered the peace. It was none other than Leon.He had deliberately cast aside his old habit of copying Felix's refined style and was dressed in a trendy hoodie and ripped jeans. He even wore a shiny diamond stud in his ear in an attempt to present himself as a cynical bad boy.Felix and Leon had been indistinguish

Dahlia's Point of ViewThe days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, it was once again time for the annual Bridal Queen Tournament.I had dedicated myself to the design industry in the past year and had managed to make a name for myself on the international stage when my formal dress series won numerous awards. I had established a haute couture brand too, and I already had clients lined up for the next two years.Instead of being a contestant, this time, I attended the Bridal Queen Tournament as a judge for the finals.I would occasionally hear news about the Evans family.Apparently, Felix and Leon became estranged after the big fight they had in Chaldon. When they returned home, they began fighting tooth and nail with each other over the family business.While Felix was ruthless, Leon was relentless. They were constantly at odds and misused their family fortune to fight each other. As a result, they lost a lot of their core talent. On top of that, several of their major inve
