Serena ignored Evan and bolted out the door, devastated. Evan chased after her and demanded, "Be honest with me! Are you… pregnant?"The sudden revelation hit him like a bolt out of the blue. For a moment, he wasn't sure whether he should be happy or sad. Word traveled fast. Soon, the elders of his family advised him. "Kai is a vicious man. Mrs. Blackwell is either dead or severely injured, and the baby she's carrying is as good as gone. Now that Ms. Harroway's pregnant, why don't you make her the lady of the Blackwell family instead?""Exactly. There's no need to send so many people after someone who holds little worth. Things are already unstable. You must not act recklessly right now."Evan leaned back on the couch, exhaustion heavy in his bones as he lit a cigarette. He was well aware that the consequences of his actions would be severe, but… He had no other choice. "Did you get the surveillance footage from Luminary Corp's factory?" "We did, but the scenes from the kidn

Third-Person Point of ViewWhen Evan returned to Blackwell Group, all the senior executives and the elders of his family were already waiting for him in his office. They hurled the folder that Luminary Corp had sent at him, each one of them wearing a grim expression. "You've been played, Mr. Blackwell."The folder contained all of the information Kai had provided about the kidnapping cases involving Luminary Corp, along with a thank-you letter. "These are clearly doctored photos, Mr. Blackwell. How did you miss that?" Evan read the taunting note with a stoic expression. Even when the board decided to re-evaluate his position as CEO, he didn't say a word to defend himself. He looked like a man whose soul had been sucked out of him until Serena barged in and slapped him across the face, snapping him back to reality. "Why do you insist on going against Luminary Corp? Look at what you've done. You've lost all your authority in the company, and you can't even keep your position as CE

Third-Person Point of ViewEvan realized that most of Serena's white dress had been soaked through with blood. He took one last look in the direction Kai had left and reluctantly carried Serena to the hospital.He sat in the waiting area, yet he wasn't the slightest bit worried about Serena, who was undergoing emergency treatment. His mind was completely consumed by the sight of Selena at the banquet.Selena seemed so much more beautiful than before. He used to make her wear the princess dresses Serena liked. Even though she looked good, the dresses didn't suit her. The purple gown she wore that evening accentuated her figure and made her look elegant and sophisticated. The moment she walked into the ballroom, all eyes were on her. Yet, she only had eyes for Kai.Kai… Evan's expression darkened in an instant. He had never loathed anyone this much before; Kai was the first.That man was calculating. Evan was certain Selena had only acted this way because she had been deceived by

"Evan, let go of me." My voice was as cold as ice.He released his grip. The very next second, a haggard face came into view. Evan had lost a lot of weight, and his eyes were bloodshot, as if he hadn't slept properly in days. His voice was choked full of emotion. "Be honest with me, Selena. You were forced to marry him, right?"To be honest, I had never seen Evan look so small and pitiful. He had always been high and mighty, just like the first time we met, when he curled his finger at me as if he was calling over a pet.I brushed his hand away. "I married him of my own free will. I love him." "You're lying!" His voice shook violently. "He kidnapped you and hurt you. There's no way you fell for him!""Why not?" I raised my voice. "Evan, you treated me as a substitute; you made me wear Serena's clothes, copy the way she talked, and even in bed, you wanted me to call you 'Van' just like she did. Then, you locked me in the hospital, shut me in my bedroom, and lied to me over and o
