I have a deal with Aldric Cromwell, the so-called King of Equinox Street, a billionaire lawyer-turned-CEO. If I confess to him 142 times while wearing a wedding dress, he will cover his limited-edition Koenigsegg in flowers, drive me to the most magical castle, and give me the grandest wedding imaginable on my 143rd try. However, Aldric is nowhere to be seen that day. Instead, he makes headlines by renting out the entire Wondergrove Theme Park just to celebrate his sweet new girlfriend, Bianca Alvarez's birthday. Bathed in the glow of brilliant fireworks, they share a tender kiss, cameras flashing like stars all around them. That moment quickly becomes the top trending story on the internet. Meanwhile, I go viral in my own way for showing up in a wedding dress for the 143rd time outside his company building. Speculations and theories swirl about the mystery man I keep confessing to but never reveal. People also wonder how long it will be before I make the 144th declaration. When Aldric realizes I have faithfully kept our agreement, he promises me, out of pure guilt, that he will finally fulfill the vow he's made to me after the final confession. Dressed to the nines, he arrives at his company, driving that flower-covered, limited edition Koenigsegg, only to receive a final text from me. "There won't be a 144th confession, Aldric. We're over."

After our marriage, life with William was sweet and fulfilling.A year later, we welcomed our first child—a son. Two years after that, I gave birth to a daughter. With both a boy and a girl, and a devoted husband by my side, we built a home filled with joy and harmony.When the fifth year arrived, William's parents, now aging, hoped he would return to take over the family business. Hence, he decided to move us all back to Amerethia."Amy, I heard Aldric Cromwell still isn't married. I'm worried that bringing you back now might burden you with some painful memories," he said gently, his eyes full of concern."I'll be fine. I didn't do anything wrong in that relationship, and I don't have to answer to anyone." I held his hand and assured, "You're your parents' only son—they and the family business need you to support them.""Thank you, Amy." He pulled me into his arms, placing a soft kiss on my forehead. "Don't worry. I'll protect you and won't let anyone hurt you again."After ret

"Aldric can do whatever he wants for all I care. He's got nothing to do with me anymore," I said calmly, and not a single word was laced with emotion."Right. Leaving him was the best decision you've ever made. There'd be nothing but endless misery for you had you stayed with him," Freya agreed. "Anyway, how long do you plan to stay here?""For as long as I want. I quite like it here. I'm thinking of long-term residency."I pulled out a half-completed Eastmeric workbook from my backpack and smiled at her.Freya was startled, then broke into a smile. "That's great! Mom and Dad have been enjoying their time here, except when they had to worry about you."I'm sure they'll be elated to hear you're staying for good. Our family is finally one again!"Over the next few days, I remained wrapped in the warmth of reunion.With my parents' quiet companionship and the comfort of Freya and her husband, Sebastian Carter, I almost forgot all the messy things I left behind.But peace, as alway

Bianca's voice rang pitifully. Her tear-brimmed face could stir sympathy in almost any man.However, not in Aldric today. Instead, his words only became harsher. "Get out of my sight! You're being a nuisance!"With that, he shoved her aside and strode off.Thanks to the development of social media nowadays, the ongoing drama unfolding before the Cromwell Tower was, of course, captured by curious onlookers.Once the footage hit the platforms, public opinion exploded."Isn't that Bianca? Did Mr. Cromwell not break up with her? Did he decorate his car and wait for Amelia while he was still in a relationship?""I know what Bianca's trying to do. She's trying to seize the opportunity while he's at his lowest. Anyway, compared to Amelia, Bianca looked like a poor imitation. Same wedding dress, same setup, but nowhere near as stunning.""Maybe that's why Mr. Cromwell is pissed. She was so loud on social media about having him as her man. It turns out she was just a homewrecking bitch."

The events of my resignation and Aldric getting stood up happened back-to-back. Naturally, endless rumors were sparked.The employees at Cromwell LLP started to piece things together, suddenly remembering details they had overlooked before."Now that I think about it, I remember Amelia would always archive every interview Mr. Cromwell had done.""Whenever Mr. Cromwell attended important meetings, Amelia was always called in to run errands. Even so, she was consistently the first to arrive, meticulously ensuring every detail was perfectly arranged.""Mr. Cromwell often lost track of time when busy, and Amelia would use the excuse of unfinished work to stay late and help out."Once, I forgot something and came back after 10:00 pm, and besides the security staff, only the two of them were left in the building.""Then, what's with Bianca? Mr. Cromwell had been known for his many girlfriends, but Amelia was a veteran employee."If they really had that kind of relationship all along,
