On the day of my wedding, I put on the veil Alan Palmer sent me, decorated with five hundred diamonds, and waited quietly for him to come and get me.But the first person to arrive wasn't Alan. It was Leon Wade, my childhood sweetheart. Leon grabbed my hand and yanked off my veil."Tiffany, let's run away! This is your last chance. I don't want to see you jump into hell. Alan can't even get it up, and he's a freak. I'm the only one who truly cares about you."I snatched the veil back and said coldly, "Leave. I'm marrying Alan, no matter what you say."At that moment, the floating messages exploded across my vision.[Run! If you marry him, he'll destroy you!][Don't be stupid! A guy like Leon is rare. You'll regret it forever if you lose him!]Staring at the messages that were still desperately defending Leon, I felt nothing but mockery.Leon's voice trembled, thick with fake emotion that could fool anyone."Tiffany, wake up! Haven't you heard all those rumors out there? Th

The girl beside Alan suddenly burst into applause, cutting through the tension. She looped her arm through mine warmly."That's so impressive, making an entrance like that on our first meeting! I like you already! I'm Karen, Alan's sister."So she was his sister. I finally let out a quiet breath of relief.Before I could speak, Alan had already taken a few long strides toward us. He knocked on Karen's head lightly. "Mind your manners."When he turned to me, his expression grew serious. He took out a small velvet box from inside his jacket."Grandpa said we have to exchange heirloom bracelets before the wedding."Without thinking, I reached for my wrist and touched nothing but cold air.My heart skipped. I had clearly been wearing it this morning. When had it disappeared?When I looked up in panic, I ran straight into Alan's suddenly icy stare.He stepped closer, lifted my chin with his fingers, and said in a low, dangerous voice, "According to the rumors, you've always bee

Freezing cold stabbed through my skin. I was about to speak in anger when a black figure suddenly broke through the crowd.Alan plunged straight into the fountain without a second thought. His warmth came through his soaked shirt, the faint scent of wood and cologne wrapping tightly around me.Amid all the shocked cries, I heard his heart pounding hard against his chest, loud enough to make my ears ring.His voice shook as his fingers pressed through my wet hair, holding me like something he had almost lost forever."Tiffany, I almost lost you."He carried me out of the water and wrapped his suit firmly around my bare shoulders, blocking the guests' curious stares."The wedding is postponed."The crowd slowly cleared, leaving only the Palmers' close family members asking what was going on.Alan ignored them completely. His fingers brushed over the birthmark below my collarbone, his voice trembling."I've been looking for you for five years and found nothing. I never imagined…

Alan's presence turned icy. He drove a hard kick into the backs of Leon's and Harmony's knees, sending both of them crashing to the floor."Tell me what you were really after," Alan said from above them. "Otherwise, this is just the beginning."His dress shoe came down on Leon's hand. The pressure made Leon scream in pain.Leon cried and crawled toward me like a worm, smearing tears and dirt across the floor."Tiffany, I did it for you! The stories about Mr. Palmer are terrifying. He's so ruthless in business. I really thought I was saving you!"His face was filthy, streaked with tears.He suddenly spun and started groveling before Alan, looking utterly disheveled."Mr. Palmer, I was an idiot! You're a real gentleman, the kind who truly cares about Tiffany. You're nothing like those rumors. Please, be the bigger man and let me go!"Then, he grabbed Harmony by the hair and yanked her forward."It was all her fault! She offered to replace Tiffany. She even said that you're not i
