“At last, the truth,” Darin spat.
“From the beginning, you never intended to marry me. You only wanted to use
me to eliminate your obstacles. Marcus doesn't care for you, so you try to kill the
one he loves, even your own sister who had been nothing but kind to you.
No one would dare care for someone as cruel as you.”
Rhea stared at Darin, disbelief in her eyes. How could he speak to her this way?
He had always treated her with gentleness and respect.
How did he know about her sister? It was her darkest secret.
“If you're thinking of ending the engagement, forget it. Do you hate that I'll rely on

In a rage, Rhea grabbed an apple from the bedside and hurled it at Darin’s face.
“You're crazy.”
Meanwhile, Marcus exited the building and found Millie waiting in the parking lot.
The night wind tousled her soft hair, and she seemed to sense his approach.
Turning, she saw him coming.
“I didn't wake you because you were sleeping so peacefully,” Marcus explained.
Millie nodded.
“Let's go home.”
Millie’s mind was consumed with what Rhea had said earlier. Rhea seemed

make her think that?
Millie felt a knot of nervousness in her stomach.
Marcus traversed the winding roads to the secluded villa perched atop the
mountain, a sanctuary hidden from the world. This time, Millie's eyes were drawn
to a series of golden letters beside the entrance, spelling out the name “Cloud
Villa.”
The words resonated in Millie’s mind, fitting seamlessly with the location.
As dawn kissed the sky, Marcus roused Millie from her slumber.
“Awaken; we shall journey to the company today,” he announced.
“To the company?” Millie echoed, her voice tinged with disbelief.
Marcus’ serious and unyielding gaze confirmed that she hadn't misheard.

“No,” she replied, her voice firm.
