“In that case, I would willingly give my life for you,” Marcus declared with
unwavering determination.
He gently tilted Millie's head, ensuring her gaze remained locked on his as he
made his heartfelt vow.
The words were poetic and heartfelt, rendering Millie momentarily speechless.
She responded by entwining her fingers with his.
As the crowd marveled at the spectacle of fireworks, an inconspicuous black car
sat parked by the riverbank. Inside, a conversation unfolded.
“It's strange how Marcus emerged unscathed after the poisoning incident. I saw
him at the hospital that day.”
“If he has truly been poisoned, then there is something more sinister at play.”
The man seated in the back spoke coldly. “Even if Marcus survives this ordeal,
it's evident that Millie is his Achilles’ heel.”
The man’s gaze narrowed as he fixated on the fireworks outside the window.
They were as captivating as Millie.
“Unless I permit it, do not lay a hand on her.”
Rhea made an effort to sway Celeste as she resisted the idea of marrying Darin.
“I'm still young, and I don’t want to rush into marriage. I want to spend more time
getting to know Darin better,” Rhea pleaded.
In truth, Rhea had kept her distance from Darin in private. Despite his affection
for her, she had largely ignored him.
“Rhea, Darin is the sole heir of the Barker family, with a thriving fashion business.
I've heard that he’s genuinely smitten with you. Given your backgrounds, you two
are a perfect match,” Celeste insisted.
Wary of Marcus’ warning, Celeste sought to quash Rhea’s fascination with
Marcus swiftly.
“There seems to be a misunderstanding. I view Marcus as a brother, and I know
that Shera had feelings for him while she was alive. I understand that you also
had a connection with her. If the accident hadn't occurred, Marcus would have

inclinations towards Marcus nor any intention to come between him and Shera,”
Rhea asserted.

Celeste’s expression darkened as Rhea mentioned the past. She had once
believed Shera, a graduate of a prestigious university, to be a worthy match for
her son.
Celeste had wanted Shera to be part of their family, but fate intervened in the
form of the accident before their plans could materialize.
“If you're opposed to marrying Darin, I won't force you. It's getting late, so you
should head back home,” Celeste stated.
