Felicity POV I felt overwhelming fear the moment she uttered those words. It was as if her gaze was strangling me. She looked at me as though she was already digging my grave, even without making a single move.“I don’t know what Calix sees in you. His parents seem to like you, so I won’t question it any further,” she said while slowly examining me from head to toe. “You’re a famous painter, right? You are Felicity Rose Lee, the owner of Blu Arte’s, which closed not long ago.”“That’s right, madame…” I answered softly, fear evident in my voice. No matter how hard I tried to sound normal, my emotions betrayed me on their own.“I’ve heard many things about you,” I swallowed hard at her words. “But just because I have heard unpleasant rumors does not mean I will judge you immediately.”I did not expect those words from her.

Felicity POV“Do you really think you can take Cali away from me?” She said with a smile. Her expression was terrifying. She looked like someone who would not hesitate to kill just to get what she wanted.She grabbed me by the throat and laughed like a madwoman. I swallowed hard, unable to find my voice.

Felicity POVFor several seconds, I could do nothing but stare at him. The world around us seemed to fade into silence as countless memories flooded my mind one after another.The first time we met. The day I slipped on the wet floor of a shopping mall and ended up falling straight into his arms. Neither of us had known that our parents had already arranged a marriage between us despite that being our very first encounter.Then five years passed, and we met again as strangers bound by circumstances neither of us wanted. We created a deal—a fake marriage that was only supposed to save my family business.A temporary arrangement. A simple contract. At least, that was what we believed. Yet, somewhere along the way, the lines blurred. The fake marriage became real. The signatures on paper turned into genuine promises. And before either of us realized it, we had fallen hopelessly in love.I remembered every obstacle we endured together against

Felicity POV I had truly believed that peace had finally found its way into my life.Jacob was behind bars. Fleur was gone. The nightmares that had haunted me for so long seemed to have finally reached their end. I allowed myself to dream of a future untouched by fear—a quiet life beside Bryle, surrounded by the people I loved. But fate, it seemed, was not yet finished testing me.Only a few weeks later, my grandfather was rushed to the hospital after suffering a heart attack. The news devastated everyone.The once lively atmosphere within the Lee family was replaced by anxiety and sorrow. I even found it difficult to concentrate on my work. No matter how hard I tried to focus, my thoughts always drifted back to the hospital room where my grandfather fought silently for every breath.Then one day, I was unexpectedly summoned to the chairman's room. My grandfather had already returned to the Lee Mansion and refused to remain at the hospit

EPILOGUEBryle POVFive years had passed.Five wonderful years filled with laughter, growth, challenges, and countless memories.Life had changed tremendously since Felicity and I exchanged our vows beneath the church altar. We had built a family together, expanded our businesses beyond our expectations, and learned how to navigate every obstacle side by side.And now, for the first time in five years, we have returned to Chengdu.Our business contract in the Philippines had finally concluded, giving us the freedom to decide where we wanted to live.
