After the interview, Daphne returned home and was immediately questioned by Zak about her comments, particularly her revelation that she had liked Zak first in high school.
Zak had always believed he was the first to develop feelings, thinking that Daphne's affection for him only grew after Zak's confession.
"When did you start liking me?" Zak asked.
"It's been very, very early," Daphne replied.
Daphne then began to recount to Zak her internal journey of falling in love back then.
Daphne first noticed Zak during their freshman year of high school. Zak was tall and stood behind her during the drills.

The Disolate Scion Part I: Nicely
At the edge of the school yard, Zak hangs out by the gate. The afternoon sun in Utah gives everything a warm vibe, but Zak's world is often colder. Zak, who comes from an orphanage background, often finds himself on the outskirts of social circles. However, there's a notable exception – Daphne. She adding color to his life. As the school day ends and lockers close, Zak sees Daphne carrying a bunch of papers. A breeze rolls through, making her hair dance. She throws up a hand to fix it, then shoots Zak a smile. The sun's giving her white outfit a glow, making her look fresh, kinda like moonlight. Zak's hooked, thinking everything in the world is just a backdrop for Daphne. "What's up with the stare-down? Didn't I tell you to bounce?" she asked. "I got some stuff to handle too." "Got it." Daphne hands Zak some of the papers, saying, "Zakky, check these at home. It's the paperwork I grabbed from Mr. Howe." Zak takes it, then hesitates before saying: "Daphne..." "Yeah?" "It's n
The Disolate Scion Rejection
"The orphanage superintendent must have already filled you in on everything, right?" the man remarked, his eyebrows slightly furrowed. "Yes," Zak replied calmly, keeping his gaze fixed on the table. It turns out the man Zak just spotted is actually his family's butler, or you could say, a member of his newly discovered family. He has been sent to find Zak and bring him back to his family.Handing the documents to Zak, he simply said, "Take it." Zak swiftly scanned through the few pages. The contents clearly detailed his birth, how he was taken away by a stranger, and later left at the orphanage after the kidnapper's death. As the butler observed him, he grew increasingly uneasy with each passing moment. The butler was well aware of Zak's parents' attitude towards him, and as a result, his own demeanor towards Zak lacked hint of respect.In that moment, Zak felt like an object on display, casually scrutinized by the man. Methodically organizing the papers, Zak locked eyes with hi
The Disolate Scion Imposter
Encountering someone with such an uncanny resemblance would make anyone uncomfortable, and Zak was no exception. However, unlike Juelz Vanderose's aversion, Zak remained calm, shifting his gaze away as he began to eat. "Who might you be?" Juelz loosened his tie and casually tossed it onto the sofa. He then stood beside Zak, gazing down at him, scrutinizing him for a moment before bursting into a disdainful chuckle. "Did you get your face done to look like me? How much did it cost?" Juelz was dressed in a sleek black suit, his hair perfectly styled, a smile gracing his refined face, though there was a hint of arrogance in his brows and eyes. He proudly held a golden trophy in his hand. Zak finished chewing his food and replied, "This is my natural face." His nonchalant attitude and their striking resemblance led Juelz to speculate, and his expression turned cold. "While I can still keep my composure, get out immediately." Zak calmly finished the rest of his meal, then turned a
The Disolate Scion Low-class
As the soft glow of light gently cast shadows on Zak's fair face, he looked somewhat melancholic. Putting his book aside, he gracefully stood up and opened the door, his expression becoming serene, hiding any visible emotions.Unaware that Benton Vanderose had arranged Zak's living quarters, Samantha Elliott presumed it was Zak's own choice. She disapproved and said, "There's a bigger room upstairs, yet you insist on staying in this small one. You have to get rid of undesirable habits you've picked up outside, do you understand?"With lowered eyes and a gentle tone, Zak replied, "I understand, Mom."Samantha Elliott gently ruffled Juelz's hair and reminded him, "Remember to go to school tomorrow. At school, don't cause any trouble for Juelz. Juelz is different from you. Don't exploit your resemblance to him for anything else.""I've transferred your living expenses to your card. Mrs. Sears, give it to him."As Samantha Elliott spoke, Zak listened in silence, accepting the bank card ha
The Disolate Scion Arrogant
Zak hesitated slightly, then softly replied after a while, "C." She sneered, "I know you were the top student in another school, but you're too arrogant. How could you choose option C for this question? Sit down." Mocking laughter filled the classroom. Zak sat down, rotated the pen in his hand, and looked at the answer B on his notebook. He started calculating the next question expressionlessly. "Juelz, you tell us, which option do you choose?" The teacher asked. The question was difficult, and Juelz couldn't find the answer among the given options. However, Zak had already ruled out option C for him. Though uncertain, Juelz smiled and took a guess, "B." "Very good, indeed the top of the grade. Sit down." She praised Juelz and then pointed at Zak, "Look at Juelz, the top student, and then look at you." Her words were filled with disdain. Zak heard the footsteps approaching him and decided to alter his course. When the teacher came closer and looked at his notebook, her express
The Disolate Scion I'm sorry
The man's expression turned rigid, and all his concern vanished. He lingered momentarily before delivering a cold directive, "There's a first aid kit in the living room. Don't let others think we mistreat you." Unconcerned about the origin of his injuries, he made his way up the stairs. "I'm sorry." Benton Vanderose paused in his steps, turning to look back. His brows furrowed as he observed the delicate, somewhat pitiable figure, his lips maintaining a forced smile. Facing the refrigerator, the young man's gaze dropped, his lips still carrying a strained smile. The distinct marks of five fingers were imprinted on his cheek, clearly the aftermath of a powerful blow. A sense of unease welled up within Benton Vanderose, perhaps a mixture of regret and the familiar resemblance between the young man's face and Juelz's - a sight that tugged at his heart. He proceeded up the staircase with a stern expression, entering Juelz's room. Amidst the cacophony of crashing items from the upsta
The Disolate Scion Taking care of someone
Carlos Downs stood there, rooted in place, glancing at the umbrella in his hand and then at Zak in the rain, slowly coming to a realization. Was this guy deliberately avoiding sharing the umbrella? For the first time in his many years, Carlos, the young heir, felt a growing sense of irritation. He briefly contemplated reclaiming his umbrella but ultimately decided to enter the school with it still in hand.As he hurried into the educational building, Zak flicked off the rainwater from his clothing, removed his hat, and elegantly tossed back his hair...."In the afternoon, what's your plan for the parent-teacher meeting?" Terrence patted Juelz on the shoulder and winked. "Don't you want to make your little brother's day unforgettable?"Juelz, still nursing some lingering irritation, shot Terrence a sidelong glance. "Got any great ideas?""I've got plenty of them. It all depends on whether you'd like to witness him getting embarrassed or simply enduring a bit of discomfort," Terrence
The Disolate Scion Dislike
The two of them arrived at the playground, and Zak took a seat on the steps in front of Juelz.Coming to a stop, Juelz lowered his gaze and began, "You know, I don't actually dislike you that much. It's just that you resemble me so closely that being around you feels like encountering a mirror image."Zak was taken aback by this sudden turn towards emotion. He stood up and met Juelz's gaze, saying, "I understand."Raising his hand, he slowly moved it closer to Juelz's face.This sudden gesture made Juelz furrow his brow, his eyes showing resistance. As he instinctively tried to step back, Zak interrupted, "Wait a second, big brother, there's a bug on your face."Juelz, who had an intense fear of insects, instantly froze, his eyes wide open as he watched Zak's finger make contact with his face, gently flicking something away."My mistake; it was just a mosquito," Zak retracted his hand, chuckling softly. "But don't worry, I've already taken care of it."Seeing the smile on Zak's lips,

Zak flinched, tilted his head to his right, and was surprised to see the familiar side of his face.To make her happy, to make her like...But this time Zak didn't proceed with the deep kiss, he just raised his hand to rub the back of Daphne's head and looked at her with downcast eyes.Just please please Zak.When a suitor asked her if she was single, she would always politely and gently say that she was still single, but that she already had an owner.She looked lost in thought, completely caught up in the memories of that year.They pulled up to a black sedan and the short-haired woman unlocked the door and Daphne got in the passenger side."I've watched it over and over again, and I envy her so much for being there for Zakky during such a wonderful time for you ...."

Hurt
Daphne was pleasantly surprised and picked the cat up, quite inexplicably feeling much more grounded.She missed him too, so much.Daphne, of course, was pleasantly surprised and sweetly surprised, and became much more comfortable with cooking.The love she was unconsciously radiating at the moment could have filled her heart or even overflowed into the air around her.Separated from each other, Zak stayed by himself for a few days, and one after another, he started to take up some shoots again, not for any other reason than he was used to staying with Daphne, and he would feel lonely, missed, and out of place when he was alone.She had long ago transferred back all of the assets that Daphne had transferred to her, and had also long ago told her who she was shortly after her awakening, telling her that she was the founder of a clothing company."Zakky if you miss me feel free to call me anytime, send me a message, I'll get back to you no mat

Misunderstanding
She wondered just how she'd gotten along with Zak before.Zak was sitting not far away, and the doctor stood in front of her, information in hand, talking to her.She also enjoyed Zak's touch and craved Zak's intimacy just as much.It's a new cell phone with no software installed and only one contact in Snapchat, Zak.Daphne was happy to have herself played with by her and chirped, "I slept so deeply, did you guys talk for a long time and I didn't hear you." "That's okay." Zak lowered his head, "You're still weak."She didn't know what to do anymore.All of this was taken in by Zak without reservation.So she started thinking again, when can she be discharged from the hospital? After being discharged from the hospital, was she following Zak as well, and would Zak...be willing to get back together with her?"Zakky, uh...""... Hmm."Zak's eyes went deep and dark as his body propped up above him slowly moved down to

The only way
Because she stays indoors for a long, long time, Daphne's skin is so pale and white that the slightest hint of red can be very noticeable on her.The first time she saw it, she felt like it belonged to her, and now that feeling was growing stronger.Aliza showed confusion, "What's not?"That's good for Daphne. Those memories are terrible."She's been with me since a while ago, and for the last little while, I thought I'd come to you on my own." Zak raised an eyebrow slightly, "Come to me for what?"Would love, love, love, love... To talk to Daphne about much, much more.Obviously as the patient's ex-girlfriend, but one person to bear all the costs, but also asked all the facilities and equipment with the best, but also in order to facilitate the care, in a foreign country to buy a house to settle, almost every week to come to see the five times, each time with a bouquet of roses, how romantic and affectionate.Aliza shrugged innocentl

That's him
Aliza glanced at Zak and didn't dare to look at her much, still afraid that she might be angry.Certainly there was not the slightest desire to blame her."The withered heart comes back to life."Silence for a long time, Aliza stood up, "Harm, forget it, a lot of things beside people say is useless, she is wrong is wrong, bring the harm and mustache is not someone else a sentence or two can be put down, or you have to solve it by yourselves, their own feelings, their own over that hurdle."Why doesn't she say anything...Maybe she could only feel at ease when she was a little closer to Daphne, she knew she was the only one Daphne had left, and she was really afraid, if she went far away, and something happened to Daphne, she wouldn't be able to find her, and she couldn't be in front of her right away.Zak's eyes grew complex again, a bit helpless at the question.And not as it is now.Zak clutched the ring in his hand and kept

She's scared
The doctor pulled out Daphne's cell phone, "See for yourself."Zak won't love a psychopath. Zak won't.She'd gone from out-of-control crazy to quiet crazy, which probably wasn't good, but there was nothing that could be done about it now, nothing anyone could do about it, not the doctors, not herself.Checking several of Utah's airports, Daphne has no record of boarding a plane, but with so much time having passed since she disappeared, Zak guesses that she was most likely picked up by someone and left on a private jet that didn't have direct flights to Iceland and required a layover, taking even more time, and the situation is ten thousand times more urgent.She had to attend to her grandpa's funeral, the doctor said that grandma might not have much time left, so the family could spend more time with her at the end... She also needs to deal with his affairs, contacting lawyers, hiring someone to investigate him to collect evidence of his crimes, etc. etc

Is she mentally ill?
Zak accompanies Daphne to the hospital, still panicking when she encounters strangers, but Daphne is so good that she stops when she's spoken to and obediently undergoes the tests.The nurse keeps explaining to her, she can't listen to anything, she's been through this situation more than once a long time ago, Zakky suddenly walks off to record a variety show with someone else, Zakky suddenly walks off and leaves her alone.Not enough, Zak red eyes, casually picked up a vase, raised up to smash at him, scared Qu Ziqiang woefully begging for mercy, the police officer beside him in time to stop, Zak's emotions can not be stabilized, clenched his teeth and low reprimand: "You deserve to die! You deserve to die!"Stealing a kiss on Zak's cheek, he held Zak's hand tightly.The man who had been sitting on the bed made an effort of his own to get back into his wheelchair, blocking the doorway to the hospital room with a series of chairs, stools, and other pieces

She's crazy
"I know you had someone on your mind at the time and didn't interrupt, and now that you say your nagging problem has been solved, I wondered if we might not have a chance to try it out?""It's mine... It's mine, no one can take it away..."With that, the man opened the file bag and took out a few sheets of paper from it and put them in front of Daphne.Daphne leaned against her shoulder like a skinny puppet, her dry lips parting as her eyes looked up at her, and mumbled, "Zak, I missed you so much..."Being nice, talking nicely, squeezing a smile out of her, what day of the week didn't he do that? Either she was beaten by her when she was mad, or she didn't even give him a proper look when she was good.It's fierce, fierce, and she does everything she can to protect the ring.She quickly calmed down again, just a momentary burst of emotion.Stiffening her body, Zak's mind was in turmoil, and the moment the tips of her noses touched, Z
