《VOWS OF DESIRES (DS1)》全部章節：第 111 章 - 第 120 章

Bryle’s POVThe atmosphere in the clubhouse had not yet settled from the earlier wave of laughter when the dynamic shifted once more.Haze, Felicity, Aeun, and Selene approached our table with a quiet sense of belonging, as though this space, despite being dominated by the presence of the HGS members, naturally made room for them. It was not unusual. Haze was practically the owner of this domain, and Felicity… she needed no invitation to stand beside me.Still, not everyone paid them much attention.Kaizer barely spared them a glance, too relaxed to concern himself with formalities. Kurt acknowledged their presence with a subtle nod before returning to his drink. Levi offered a fleeting smirk, though his interest quickly faded. Claude simply observed, as he always did—calm, unreadable.But my attention had already settled on Felicity.“How have you been?” I asked, my voice low but sincere as I shifted slightly toward her. “How is

Bryle’s POVI woke up just as I always did—at the same hour, in the same room. Nothing felt different. It was routine. I rose from bed and went through the motions I had long been accustomed to, allowing habit to guide me rather than thought.Part of that routine, something I never failed to do, was preparing breakfast for my wife, Felicity.By the time everything was set, I found myself standing in the dining area, my gaze instinctively drifting toward the entrance. It was already the usual hour we shared our morning meal.Yet… she had not arrived.A faint crease formed between my brows as I checked the time once more. Felicity was never late—not without reason. She valued order as much as I did, if not more.Minutes passed and still nothing. The silence that settled around the dining area felt heavier than it should have been.Just as I was about to head upstairs to check on her, I heard approaching footsteps.

Bryle’s POVThe city of Venice should have been a welcome change from the chaos of corporate life. But for me, it was nothing more than another obligation—another reminder that no matter how complicated personal matters became, responsibility always came first.As a member of HGS, attendance at this business event was non-negotiable.Zeke, Elijah, Kaizer, Kurt, Levi, Claude, Vale, Haze, and I stood among the distinguished guests, all dressed in tailored suits, blending seamlessly into the sophistication of the evening. Politicians, executives, and influential figures from around the world filled the grand venue. Conversations flowed in multiple languages, laughter echoed beneath the chandeliers, and deals—both visible and concealed—were already taking shape.I remained composed, but internally, I was elsewhere. I had no intention of coming here. But personal conflict had no place in professional duty.And yet, despite my efforts to remain

Bryle’s POVFelicity’s birthday was approaching.Under normal circumstances, it would have been something I prepared for in advance. I was not the type to overlook important dates, especially not hers. Even in the midst of work and responsibilities, I always made sure that day held significance.But this time everything felt uncertain.I stood by the dining area, my hand resting lightly against the edge of the table, my thoughts drifting far beyond the quiet walls of the house. The space felt unfamiliar without her presence. The silence was heavier, more noticeable.She still had not returned. And worse we still had not spoken. Not a single message. Not a single call. Since the argument in the bedroom, everything between us had fallen into a suffocating stillness. It was as if the distance she created had solidified into something I could no longer easily bridge.I exhaled slowly, staring into nothing.How was

Bryle POVI did not give Vale the chance to reconsider.From the moment we stepped out of my office, everything moved with a certain urgency—one that left no room for hesitation. If there was even the slightest possibility that my suspicions held true, then waiting any longer would only make matters worse.That was how we ended up at Lee Hotel.The structure stood tall and refined, its presence exuding quiet luxury. It was a place I was familiar with, though not one I frequently visited. Felicity handled most of her affairs here, but her time was divided—more heavily spent at Lee Corp than anywhere else.Which meant—if Selene was anywhere within reach, this was one of the most likely places to find her.Vale, however, did not share my sense of purpose.“This is ridiculous,” he muttered under his breath as we stepped through the revolving doors. “I cannot believe I agreed to this.”“You didn’t agree,” I replied c
