LILIAN ROSEFORTH POVJust like we agreed and promised each other, exactly three days after that heartbreaking incident and our unexpected meeting, Lilian Roseforth and Gabriel Sterling officially got married. We didn't have a grand wedding ceremony, there were no guests, no music, no beautiful flowers, and no celebration at all. It was just the two of us signing our marriage papers quietly inside the city civil hall, witnessed only by the officer in charge and nobody else. We didn't even buy new clothes or wedding rings, we just used the simple silver ring Gabriel had given me at the riverside park, and I wore the simplest old dress I had in my small luggage.Everyone who knew about our sudden marriage immediately reacted with shock, mockery, and strong disapproval. My friends, neighbors, former colleagues, and acquaintances all shook their heads and laughed at me openly, saying I was truly born foolish and stupid. Even my own distant relatives called me and scolded me harshly, telli

LILIAN ROSEFORTH POVI stood frozen right in front of their table, trembling uncontrollably as their cruel laughter echoed loudly inside my ears, piercing straight through my heart like thousands of sharp needles. Every single word they threw at me felt heavier and more painful than the previous one, destroying whatever little confidence and pride I had left inside my soul. I bit my lip hard, holding back the loud cry that threatened to escape from my throat, tightly gripping the tray in my hands until my knuckles turned completely white and numb. I lowered my head to hide my tears, trying my best to remain standing and composed, even though deep inside I felt like falling down on my knees and disappearing from this world completely."Oh look!" Leah pointed her finger mockingly towards my face, smiling viciously and enjoying my pain and misery completely. "She is crying again! Exactly like she always does! She really knows nothing else but crying and feeling sorry for herself huh? Yo

The days that followed were like a nightmare coming true for Carlos Mendoza, and a quiet, hopeful change for me. Every morning I went to work, every evening I came home, and every moment in between, I could feel that something big was happening around us—but I had no idea that it was all connected to Gabriel, and that it was all happening because of me.Carlos’ life was falling apart faster than anyone could have imagined. What started as frozen bank accounts and canceled contracts quickly turned into a total collapse of everything he had worked so hard to build. Within just one week, his once-successful business was completely shut down. All his properties, including his big house, luxury cars, and businesses, were seized and taken away by authorities. People who used to bow down to him, call him “Sir,” and beg for his attention now avoided him like he had a deadly disease. Business partners who used to be his closest friends refused to even answer his calls. Relatives who used to vi

LILIAN ROSEFORTH POV Gabriel stood frozen, his face pale as death, as if every word I had spoken was a blade piercing through his chest. The confident, powerful man everyone feared was gone—replaced by someone who looked lost, broken, and utterly terrified. “Lilian… please,” he whispered, his voice cracking, tears finally spilling freely down his cheeks. “You have to understand… I never meant for it to go this far. I only wanted to be sure—” “Sure?” I cut him off, my voice trembling with a mix of pain and anger. “Sure about what? That I loved you enough to suffer? That I would be strong enough to endure the pain you created? Do you even hear how cruel that sounds?” I looked around the grand office—at the expensive furniture, the priceless paintings, the thick carpet that muffled every sound. All of this was his. While I was freezing in a tiny, drafty room, while I went to sleep hungry some nights, while I worked until my feet ached and my hands were rough and calloused, he was
