Chapter 171

The wall clock chimed, showing five in the afternoon. The hallways of Ashford Company were slowly becoming quiet as most of the employees had packed their things and gone home. However, inside the design department office, Camelia had just finished organizing her sketch sheets with a relieved sigh.She glanced at her phone screen. There were still no new messages from Calvin. Her husband was probably still trapped in that extremely important investor meeting with Ronal outside the office.The Ashford family’s personal driver had actually sent her a short message half an hour ago, informing her that he was already waiting in the lobby downstairs. However, Camelia politely refused. This afternoon, she wanted to have some time for herself. Her plan was to visit Juna’s residence. She missed her older brother unbearably, and Camelia wanted to have a heart-to-heart conversation without being tightly escorted as usual.Camelia slung her handbag over her shoulder before walking out of the sky

The taxi carrying Camelia finally stopped in front of Juna’s residence gate. After paying the fare, Camelia stepped out while letting out a long breath. The strange incident with the unfamiliar man in front of the office earlier slowly faded from her mind. This evening, she only wanted to focus on her family’s happiness.As soon as the front door opened, the aroma of jasmine tea and cheerful laughter immediately greeted her ears. In the living room, Juna and Ziyi were sitting cross-legged on the carpet with piles of wedding magazines scattered around them.“Huh, Mel? Why did you come here alone? Where’s Calvin?” Juna asked the moment he saw his younger sister walk in.Camelia smiled before joining them, sitting beside Ziyi, who immediately hugged her arm affectionately. “Calvin is still in an important investor meeting with Ronal, Sis. That’s why I decided to come here by taxi. Besides, I miss you guys.”Ziyi chuckled before handing her a wedding gown catalog. “Perfect timing that you

The aroma of morning coffee and the rumble of the printing machines in the design department were usually comforting to Camelia. However, this morning, her steps felt a bit hesitant as she entered her work cubicle. Yesterday afternoon’s incident—the strange man who claimed to be Jhonson and his crazy claim of ten years of admiration—was still replaying like a broken cassette tape in her head.Camelia put down her handbag, trying to banish those negative thoughts. "He is just a prankster, Camelia. Don’t think about it," she whispered to calm herself down.However, as her gaze fell upon her desk, her breath instantly caught in her throat.Next to her small flower vas, lay a flat black gift box without a ribbon. On top of it was a slip of white paper with very neat handwriting.With her heart starting to beat erratically, Camelia reached for the box. Her coworker, Maya, happened to walk by while carrying a stack of files. "Wow, receiving another package so early in the morningl? Is it fr

A few days passed like an invisible torture for Camelia. Every time she stepped to her work desk, her heart always beat fast, fearing she would find another black box or mysterious package that disturbed her peace. However, the mystery finally broke today in a way she did not expect at all.Inside Calvin’s executive workroom, the atmosphere felt so cold. Calvin stood frozen behind his work desk, while Ronal had just closed a file folder with a noticeable sigh of relief.Camelia, who was called suddenly to the room, looked at her husband in confusion. "Calvin? What is it? Why is your face so tense?"Calvin looked at Camelia, his gaze which was originally sharp instantly softened warmly. He stepped closer, caught both of Camelia’s shoulders and guided her to sit on the sofa."Everything is over, Sayang," Calvin said with his baritone voice vibrating low, thick with a deep sense of relief.Camelia wrinkled her forehead. "What is over?""The man who watched you. The man who sent the black

The long-awaited day finally arrived under a bright clear sky that was clean of clouds. The square of a luxury resort on the edge of a cliff facing directly toward the stretch of blue sea had been transformed into an extraordinarily grand open altar. Arrangements of fresh white roses and lilies blended with white satin fabrics swaying as they were blown by the sea breeze, creating an atmosphere that was so magical and elegant.Today, it was not just one, but two pairs of lovers who would bind their holy vows. A biggest joint wedding party attended by top-class business colleagues, the ranks of the board of directors of the Ashford Company, as well as the entire extended family.Behind the curtain bounding the altar, Camelia stood gracefully in a wrap of an ivory-white ballgown wedding dress studded with Swarovski crystals. Beside her, Ziyi appeared no less stunning with a simple yet luxurious A-line cut dress."Mel, my heart feels like it's about to drop out," Ziyi whispered while tig

Chapter 176

The grand wedding party that drained energy was finally over as the night grew later. Inside the super luxurious honeymoon penthouse room at the resort, silence instantly engulfed. The aroma of rose aromatherapy candles and the sprinkling of flower petals on top of the king-size bed emphasized the intimate atmosphere that began to creep between them.Camelia was still wearing her grand ivory-white wedding ballgown. She walked slowly toward the large window that displayed a view of the night sea with the reflection of the moonlight. Her body felt tired, but the thumping in her chest dominated far more. She stood with her back to the door, staring blankly out the window while hugging her own body.The bathroom door opened. Calvin stepped out after washing his face. His tuxedo shirt was no longer there, leaving a tight white undershirt that clearly molded the contours of his broad chest and muscular stomach. Calvin’s dark gaze instantly locked onto the figure of his wife standing near th

One month passed so quickly after the grand wedding party that reunited their love. The household life of Camelia and Calvin ran so harmoniously, filled with the laughter of the twins who grew more adorable day by day. However, this morning, the atmosphere at the Ashford residence suddenly turned tense.Ugh!Camelia suddenly covered her mouth with the back of her hand. An intense feeling of nausea shoved her stomach without permission. With hurried and half-staggering steps, she ran into the bathroom, ignoring Calvin who had just buttoned his work shirt.In front of the sink, Camelia coughed. She tried to throw up the contents of her stomach, but what came out was only clear fluid. Her face instantly turned pale, and a cold sweat began to wet her temples.Calvin, who panicked, instantly followed her inside. He massaged Camelia’s nape with an extraordinarily worried facial expression. "Sayang? What is wrong with you? Is there something wrong with breakfast this morning?""I... I don't

Chapter 178

Juna’s footsteps felt so heavy as he entered the warm-toned minimalist house that they had just occupied for a month. The fragrant smell of cooking welcomed his sense of smell, but instead of feeling hungry, Juna’s chest felt increasingly tight. The white envelope containing the results of Ziyi’s medical test had been tightly hidden inside his briefcase."Eh, Sayang, you're already home?"Ziyi stepped out of the kitchen with an apron still tied around her waist. Her smile blossomed beautifully, radiating the sparkle of happiness of a new wife. However, as soon as her gaze landed on her husband's face, that smile slowly faded. Ziyi could see the lines of fatigue and thick dark clouds in Juna’s pair of eyes.Ziyi approached, reaching for Juna’s hand then stroking his arm softly. "Sayang, what is wrong with you? Your face is very pale. Why are you so sad?"Juna jolted. He hurriedly forced a smile, even though his eyes could not lie. He could not possibly say the truth now. He could not b

Music thundered loudly, filling the entire exclusive nightclub in the city center, but the noise was completely unable to drive away the loneliness gripping Juna’s soul. In his hand, a glass of whiskey was squeezed so tightly. The man downed it in a single gulp, letting the thick, burning fluid flow into his throat.Juna was truly stressed. The shadow of Ziyi’s medical examination results this afternoon kept spinning in his brain like a broken cassette. *Barren. Permanent damage.* The words kept ringing, racing with Ziyi’s hopeful face that so intensely yearned for a child. To avoid his wife tonight, Juna was forced to lie that he had to attend a sudden business meeting.A second glass, a third, until the next bottle changed hands. Juna did not care anymore. He only wanted his brain to stop thinking, even if only for one night. The effect of the alcohol began to work brutally, blurring consciousness and making his head spin heavily. His body staggered, almost collapsing from the bar s

Chapter 180

The morning New York sunlight broke through the gaps of the messy VIP room curtains. Seraphina woke up with a pain that lashed her entire body. As soon as she pulled aside the blanket, her world felt like it collapsed. On top of that white sheet, there was a red stain that was so contrasting.Seraphina cried sobbing, covering her face with both hands. Her honor had been snatched away. How could this be? She was not a virgin anymore. Her future, her self-esteem, everything was destroyed in one single night at this club.That sobbing cry disturbed Juna. The man groaned, holding his head that throbbed heavily due to the remaining alcohol from last night. As soon as his eyes opened completely and his consciousness recovered, Juna jolted in shock. He stared at Seraphina who was crying, then shifted to the stain on top of the sheet."Brengsek!" Juna cursed in his heart. His head spun. Why could it be like this? Why could he do an action as stupid as this?Seeing Juna already awake, Seraphin
