That night, he was no longer the mature and charismatic president of Summit Group, nor was he the domineering Desmond everyone knew. He was simply a man who had broken his promise and lost the woman he loved.

How desperately Desmond wished he could turn back time, rewrite the past, and tear out his own heart to prove he would never make the same mistake again. But he finally understood.

that it was too late.

The night stretched endlessly as countless memories of their time together flooded his mind.

Desmond remembered the first time he saw Beatrice.

She wore a school uniform with her hair in a high ponytail. Her pretty neck and delicate face made her glow like a proud, beautiful fairy. When she glanced at him, his heart pounded.

He recalled their first kiss.

Desmond stole it from her impulsively. After that, she ignored him for days, blushing and glaring whenever their paths

crossed…

Tears welled up in her eyes as sadness enveloped her once more.

Beatrice was scheduled to be discharged that morning.

Violet handled the paperwork.

After leaving her ward, Beatrice wanted to visit Damian. She felt obligated to check on the man who had saved her life and was also her boss.

When she reached his ward, however, she noticed several people inside.

To avoid causing him any trouble or sparking unfavorable rumors, she decided to wait and visit him at his apartment after he was discharged.

After leaving the hospital, Beatrice went to the police department to give her statement before heading home.

She learned that the kidnapper had been apprehended, but he denied being hired by Madeline.

He claimed only to be her friend who had taken it upon himself to kidnap Beatrice after seeing Madeline being mistreated.

Violet looked up. “So, your fairy tale is done. Ready to take on a legend now?”

Beatrice was speechless.

In his hospital ward, Damian leaned against the bed as he worked.

While pausing to drink some water, he asked casually, “How is she?”

“You mean Ms. Lawson? She’s been discharged,” Gordon replied.

Damian frowned and shot him a glance.

Noticing Damian’s displeasure, Gordon quickly added, “Actually, she came by this morning. I think she wanted to see you, but there were other visitors in the ward at the time, so she didn’t come in.”

Rather than casing his mood, this information seemed to darken Damian’s expression further.

“She didn’t come in just because someone else was here?” Damian said in a measured tone. “She’s quite clever, distancing herself from me to avoid rumors.”

In Gordon’s opinion, Beatrice had made the right choice. She was a woman who respected boundaries and harbored no ulterior motives, so she carefully considered her actions to avoid causing unnecessary rumors about Damian.

He glanced at Damian several times in shock, suppressing a smile as a realization dawned on him–Damian might be into
