They both sat on simple wooden benches in the corner of the room. Jane recounted stories from the outside world, as if trying to bring a little light and warmth into Jaxson's confined life. She talked about the weather, about this and that.Jaxson listened attentively, his face slowly coming alive with every word spoken by Jane. He longed for freedom, but in moments like these, with Jane by his side, he felt like there was no prison that could bind his love.Indeed, Jaxson realized it. After all Jane had done for him, he had fallen in love with her. Even at his lowest point, Jane was his anchor, the light shining in the darkness.As their time together was nearly over, Jaxson held Jane's hand tightly and confessed, "Jane, I'm afraid. I'm afraid of losing you, afraid of being alone."Jane gazed at him tenderly, calling out, "Jaxson."Jaxson returned Jane's gaze obsessively, in his shattered world, there was nothing else he wanted except the woman before him.Jane released Jaxson's hand
"Do not pout like that, Babe," Kalix said, immediately wrapping his arms around Eugene's waist as she had been trying to distance herself."How can I not pout? Didn't I say yesterday that I would not go to Oakville? So why did you prepare everything for me this morning?" Eugene shook her head slowly.She was somewhat annoyed with Kalix's inconsistency."I just wanted you to accompany me here. Do not you like going out with me? Oh come on, Eugene, are you going to let your handsome boyfriend go alone? Aren't you afraid I will be tempted by other women?" Kalix teased his girlfriend instead."Huh, as if anyone dares to tempt you?" Eugene retorted."Well, never mind. Now that we're in Oakville, accompany your lover, okay!" A wide smile spread across Kalix's lips as he continued to persuade Eugene.The handsome man known for his calm demeanor even disregarded the surprised looks from some coworkers at his behavior in front of Eugene at the moment.Some of them probably did not expect that
Kalix stood up and immediately slipped the ring he had offered earlier onto Eugene's ring finger, kissing her gently."Thank you, Kalix. You really caught me off guard," Eugene said, one hand covering her mouth as she still felt touched by the surprise Kalix had given her."I should be the one thanking you, Darling. Thank you for agreeing to marry me," Kalix said, pulling Eugene into his embrace.Cheers could be heard from around them, everyone sharing in the joy of the perfectly matched couple. Despite some people feeling envious, everyone congratulated them.Of course, they had known about Kalix and Eugene's relationship, both deeply in love with each other for years, and the outcome was predictable. As employees of State-of-the-Art, they fully supported their boss in his proposal plan."Ah, I'm so happy to see you both taking the next step," Nick came with some people known to Eugene.It was Hannah and Mia, Eugene's friends from the capital. They were here after being contacted by
The wedding day has been set, Kalix and Eugene will tie the knot next month. Fortunately for the prestigious family in the capital, events like weddings are not difficult for them to host in a grand manner in the near future. In fact, several wedding organizers in the capital are vying to register as one of the committees for the execution of this large family wedding event. As for Eugene and Kalix? They are currently in one of the famous boutiques in the capital, doing fittings for the gown and suit they will wear on their wedding day. Kalix himself accompanies Eugene, delegating all his tasks to his deputy for the time being. "Stop staring at me like that, Kalix. Is my appearance not good?" Eugene asks because Kalix has been looking at her without saying a word since earlier, which is confusing. "No, of course, you always look beautiful in my eyes. I just can not contain the desire to have you completely soon," Kalix explains quickly because he doesn't want to make Eugene pout.
Although saying so and acting very calm, Eugene was actually a bit wary in her heart. However, she and Jane had conflicted over Kalix. Even if Jane lost to her at that time and said she surrendered, it did not necessarily mean it could be fully trusted, right?Eugene had heard a saying from the ancients, that before marriage, there would always be a test faced by one of the betrothed. Was Jane included in that test?Kalix had known Eugene well all this time, even more than he knew Jane, his former girlfriend for more than 10 years in his previous life. So now Ed could sense Eugene's wariness. Shamelessly, Ed showed his affection.He pulled Eugene to his side, held the woman's hand, and nodded in response to what Eugene had said a moment ago.All of Ed and Eugene's friends did not say anything at all; they were too awkward to face a situation like this.Jane fell silent for a moment, seeing the intimacy of the couple who would marry in three days; she also knew the reason behind Ed's a
Some invited guests could not help but whisper and shower compliments, admiring Eugene as she walked up to the altar. Mr. Celeste firmly, yet gently, handed his daughter's hand to Edward."I entrust my daughter's responsibility to you, Kalix."Edward nodded firmly, like a soldier, saying, "Don't worry, I will take over your duty to protect Eugene until the end of my life."Mr. Celeste was very pleased with that answer, nodding, then leaving the couple from the altar.A pastor brought a book."Are you both ready?" the pastor asked.Kalix and Eugene, holding hands, nodded obediently, affirming the question from the pastor who would witness their marriage before God."Alright, let's begin this wedding ceremony."Kalix composed himself, instantly becoming nervous again as he faced Eugene, who was disguised as a beautiful angel today."I, Kalix Owen, take you, Eugene Celeste, to be my wife. I promise to be faithful in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poore
After nearly 2 hours of shopping, they decided to find a place to eat outside the shopping center. On both sides of the shopping building, there were many eateries.Based on internet recommendations, they decided to visit one of the restaurants nearby. As they walked towards the restaurant, Eugene suddenly remembered something."It seems like I accidentally left my watch in the watch store when I was trying on a new one earlier," Eugene said while lightly tapping her forehead."I'll go back to the store, you just wait for me at the restaurant, okay?""Okay." Eugene nodded and watched Kalix walk back towards the shopping center. Meanwhile, she stood still there and waited for Kalix instead of going into the restaurant.Kalix knew Eugene would wait for him outside the restaurant or even follow him, so he quickly walked back to the shopping center. Fortunately, the streets weren't too crowded with pedestrians at that time.After retrieving the watch from the store's employee, he exited t
Unbeknownst to Kalix, when he decided to follow Eugene, he would uncover the secret of his reincarnation.-Kalix's spirit hovered around Eugene, following her every move wherever she went.As the lifeless body of Kalix was secured by the police, Eugene followed closely, seeming reluctant to get closer. From the look in her eyes, there was no disgust, but rather guilt and regret. Her emotions were too complex for her to understand what she was feeling at the moment.Spirits are usually sensitive, and Kalix could sense the turmoil of emotions Eugene was going through. It all left him confused.A woman familiar to Kalix approached Eugene, patting her shoulder and offering words of comfort."He can no longer feel pain, maybe he's at peace now. Do not blame yourself."Eugene turned to the woman, Mia, her friend and the one who had helped her immensely in finding this place and disrupting the plans of Mason's previous henchmen. She neither nodded nor shook her head, but just stared lifeles
