Ethan didn’t leave Olivia’s room. Even if Olivia hated his guts, he stubbornly sat by her bedside for theentire night.
The moonlight shone on him and made him glow. Olivia could see his bandaged hand in the dim light,but she didn’t ask about it. In the end, she could no longer fight the drowsiness and fell asleep.
Ethan lay down next to her, fully dressed. He thought about everything he had gone through with Olivia.He didn’t know what went wrong and caused them to drift apart.

A person’s arrival broke the peace of the manor.
“You’ve got the wrong place. There’s no one with the last name Fordham here,” the security guard saidsternly.
Ethan had specifically said that no outsiders were allowed into the house. Even though the man wasdressed nicely, the security guards wouldn’t be able to bear the consequences if something happened
to Olivia.
The man in the suit wore an easy-going smile. He said, “I’m friends with Ms. Fordham. I’m here to giveher an invitation.”
“I don’t care who you’re friends with. Get lost. I said there’s no one here with that name.”
“I know Ms. Fordham is here. It’s a happy occasion for my employer today. She’d be sad if her oldfriend, Ms. Fordham, couldn’t attend. Can you please help me out and let me see Ms. Fordham? Atleast let me ask if she wants to go.”
“Get lost before I kick you out.”
As the security guard was yelling, Jeff, who was tending to the garden, walked over. “Who’s your

The man didn’t know who Jeff was, but he quickly took out the invitation when he saw a chance.
“This is the wedding invitation that my employer has prepared specifically for Ms. Fordham. She reallywishes that Ms. Fordham could attend.”
“Alright, you can go now. I’ll hand it to her.”
“Thanks.”

Jeff took the invitation and went back to trimming the bushes. After some trimming, he reckoned thatOlivia would be awake. So, he washed his hands and took the invitation out. He looked at it andthought that maybe attending a wedding might cheer Olivia up.
Jeff wondered which of Olivia’s friends were getting married. He succumbed to his curiosity andopened the invitation. His face paled, and he dropped the glass of milk he was holding when he saw
the names.
The
groom was Ethan Miller, and the bride was Marina Carlton.
Jeff was dumbstruck, and his mind blanked out. He couldn’t believe he saw Ethan’s name. He thoughthis eyes were playing tricks on him.
Ethan was Olivia’s husband. They had two children together. How could he be marrying another
woman?
Jeff’s hands were shaking, and the blood was rushing to his brain. He wondered if it could be a prank.Olivia was pregnant and couldn’t take such a blow. He memorized the hotel’s address, tore up the
invitation, and threw the pieces away.
“What are you doing, Mr. Fordham?” Mona’s voice came from behind.
