Aria was slightly startled, and thoughts flooded her mind.
Three years ago, after being rejected for the 99th time when confessing to Lucas, she had no outlet for her unrequited love. So she used the pseudonym ‘Serith‘ to write online, pouring her hidden affection into words.
To my surprise, overnight, it became viral all over the internet, and after being signed by the company, she became a popular and well–known
screenwriter.
The main characters in this book, The Pale Summit, were the counterparts of her and Lucas.
In the story, however, the ending she gave to the main characters was perfect, but in reality, Lucas harbored hatred towards her.
Personally, she did not want to bring this novel to the screen, but the copyrighroow belongs to the company, so she had no reason to refuse
After thinking about it, I agreed.
“Tomorrow noming “
After hanging up the phone, Aria rubbed her forehead and fell into a deep sleep, feeling exhausted.
The next day, at the company.
Alter Aria arrived, she waited in the lounge for Director Reid.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the door. She turned her head and saw two figures, and to her surprise, It was Lucas and Nora.
Nora also saw her and walked over, speaking gently, “Ria, what a coincidence.”
Aria didn’t reply, and Nora continued, “Lucas came for me. He knew about my acting dream and wanted to buy the rights to adapt “The Pale Summit,” novel by the popular online writer “Serith,‘ for me.”
Aria’s eyes flickered and she looked at Lucas, who w
was still surrounded by the crowd.
So, the investment parry that Director Reld inentioned, it was him….
At that moment, Lucas, who had just finished his work, also caught sight of Aria and his eyes turned icy cold.
He walked over and his voice was cold. “Arla, what are you doing here?”

“Lucas, Ria must have been reluctant to leave you, that’s why she followed you here.”
Nora’s statement implied that she had intentionally followed them.
Lucas’s brows furrowed, and he dragged Aria out of the hall.
The next second, a cold voice and the sound of thunder from the sky crashed down simultaneously
“Aria, you sticking to me like this every day really annoyed me!”
Aria’s heart skipped a beat, and she replied with difficulty, “I didn’t track you, I came to discuss work.”
Lucas sneered, “You talk about work? These years, besides constantly stalking me, you have been at home all the time. When have you ever worked?”
The unpleasant duty was like a knife, digging into Aria’s heart and causing pain.
Over the years, she did indeed forget herself for Lucas.
She was signed by the company, but she was always writing at home.
Her heart felt sour, and her voice was soft: “Lucas, since you dislike me so much, let’s just part ways.”
As the words fell, the air seemed to freeze.
Lucas was stunned, looking at Aria in disbelief.
Under the misty rain curtain, her small face was surprisingly pale, a far cry from the vivid and enchanting image in my memory.
He suddenly felt an inexplicable irritability rising in his heart, but in an instant, his eyes narrowed slightly and he suppressed his voice like the lord of
hell
“Good to gather, good to disperse? It was you who ruined my supposed happy marriage, now wanting to escape, absolutely impossible!”
“You and I could only go to hell together!”
Chapter &
Aria’s heart shook fiercely!
Lucas hated her, she always knew, but she never knew how deep the hatred went.
The dense and overwhelming pain in her heart made it impossible for her to say a single word.
At that moment, Nora came out and said, “Lucas, It was raining, please take me home.”
Lucas turned around and the two of them walked side by side.
His umbrella leaned completely towards Nora’s side, carefully protecting her, afraid that a single raindrop would touch the woman.
Aria stood under the eaves, gazing quietly.
A long time ago, there was also a rainy day.
She went to the Blake Group to meet Lucas, carrying only an umbrella, hoping to have a romantic walk in the rain with him, just like in a drama.
But in the end, it was as if there was a galaxy between them.
After arriving home, both of them were drenched by the rain and looked disheveled.
Originally, love and non–love were already revealed in these subtle moments.
Aria’s deep pain surged again, and her eyes turned red involuntarily.
The rain had been pouring for a long time when Drector Reid hurriedly arrived.
During the conversation, Director Reid exclaimed, “The Blake Group really went all out this time, investing ten billion in the short film. No wonder there are rumors that Nora, the eldest daughter of the Bennett family, was Mr. Blake’s dream lover.”
“However, they wanted to change the ending. ‘Serith‘ teacher, is it okay with you?”
Aria nodded. “Agreed.”
She didn’t understand until she died once, that this perfect ending was also her obsession with Lucas.
Since it was wrong, it had to be corrected,
After finalizing all the details of the contract, Aria went home.
Lucas still didn’t come back
In the evening, Aric opened her computer and was brainstorming.
At that moment, a message popped up in the bottom right corner, it was the Grant Group’s official Facebook Page, announcing the purchase of the IP The Pale Summit and revealing Nora as the female lead
Below, along with it, is the hot topic of Lucas spending billions for Nora.
In just a few minutes, a wave was stirred up.
Ah, ah, ah” This was the first pair of Valmontis‘ Elite Circle CP that I stumbled upon, and finally, the old flame reignited!
Hurry up and get together, or else let Mr. Hake play the male lead! We love watching stories where the superior person bows down!
This heart–wrenching script became the backdrop for Lucas and Nora’s love.
Arie forced a smile at the corner of her lips, exited the page, printed out the original ending, and put it into the box along with the prayer beads.
The next day.
Aria was woken up by the alarm clock in her phone.
Today, it was Madam Bennett’s birthday banquet.
The gift had been prepared before she had an accident, but at that moment, she hesitated for a moment before deciding to go.
Parents may not have wanted to see her, but it was also the last time.
Moreover, I still had some belongings left in the original room.
Chapter 4
After changing her clothes, Aria went out.
At the entrance, a Rolls–Royce Phantom waited patiently.
Lucas opened the car window, his voice lacking any warmth. “It wouldn’t be good if we didn’t go for Mom’s birthday. Get in the car.”
After getting married, he even avoided accompanying her on the post–wedding visit.
When Nora came back from abroad, Locas was no longer hiding.
Aria knew in her heart who she was going to meet.
One hour later, the Bennett’s Villa,
Celebrities gathered, guests filled the seats, and it was luxurious and lively
Standing at the doorway, Aria could hear the laughter and chatter coming from the living room.
She stepped forward and forced a smile as she spole
“Mom, Dad, I’m back
He handed the gift to Madam Bennett again, saying, “Mom, happy birthday.”
The joyful atmosphere instantly turned cold.
Sir Bennett’s face tumed cold: “So you decided to come back! Why don’t y
t you continue with your little play of the pot calling the kettle black!”
Madam Bennett also looked disappointed and said, “Ria, you really were so irresponsible!”
Aria opened her mouth, several times wanting to explain, but she didn’t know how to say something that even she felt was absurd.
She actually, really died…
At that moment, Nora stepped forward and took hold of Sir Bennett and Madam Bennett’s hands, speaking gently, “Ria has realized her mistake. Today is Mom’s birthday, let’s not talk about unhappy things.”
Then, I turned to Lucas and said, “Lucas, come and help me cut the cake for mom.”
Lucas responded with a gentle look and then walked away.
Sir Bennett and Madan Bennett’s faces lit up with smiles again.
Her biological parents, her legal husband, and Nora chatred and cut the cake intimately.
She was always like a forgotten person in this household.
Whether alive or dead.
Arie didn’t disturb the warmth of this ‘family‘ and handed the gift to the servant standing by, then returned to her former room.
In the room, traces of her teenage years were still preserved.
There was a ploto on the bedside table taken when I was ten years old with my parents.
At that time, Nora had not yet joined the Bennett family. In the photo, she had a radiant smile on her face, and Sir Bennett and Madam Bennett’s eyes were filled with pride and Indulgence.
Aria looked for a long time, and her eyes gradually became moist.
Long ago, she took a deep breath and brought a large cardboard box, intending to collect all these relics of her
As I tidied up, I suddenly realized that Lucas” things occupied a large portion.
She gave Lucas 88 gifts, but he returned all of them.
The love letters she handwrote to Lucas, none of which were ever opened, numbered 99.
or past.
In the past, he had to knit a scarf with ten lingers pierced, traveled abroad to help him snatch limited edition sneakers, and traveled around the world to buy antiques.
Every single one, as if telling Arle, how much effort her past sell put into loving Lucas.
Chapter 4
The icy heart felt as if it had been scalded by boiling water, causing both pain and numbness.
Afterwards, she put each of them into the box, these keys that she once thought could lead to love, now realizing that they were nothing but chains that trapped herself
Aria finished tidying up and then went downstairs.
Passing by the living room, it was still filled with joy and laughter.
She had originally planned to leave quietly, when suddenly a familiar male voice, with his back turned to her, entered her ears.
“Sir Bennett, Madam Bennett, hello, Tam Ethan Carter!”
Like a thunderbolt, it froze Aria in place.
The voice, it was the voice of the kidnapper who had abducted and killed her.
Chapter 5
In a dark room,
her limbs were bound to a cold iron frame, her eyes were covered with a black cloth, and the sound of the kidnapper’s sinister laughter echoed in her ears, piercing her eardrums and tormenting her nerves.
“Ms. Bennett, no one came to save you, unfortunately your beautiful little face soon dimmed”
She could never forget that sound, the pain of the blade cutting through her skin over and over again!
Aria’s face turned instantly pale, and her body trembled uncontrollably.
The cardboard box in hand fell to the ground with a ‘clatter‘.
Several people looked at her in unison.
Sir Bennett’s face turned pale: “Aria, what were you sneaking around and peeping at again?!”
Aria stared at the man’s face intently and hoarsely exclaimed, “It was him, it was him who kidnapped me!”
“Nonsense!”
Madam Bennett exclaimed in distress, “This is your sister Nora’s friend, and you’re saying what nonsense!”
Nora’s face, however, flashed a hint of guilt, but quickly she came over and turned into a caring sister. “Itla, did you have hallucinations because you’re too tired? Sister will help you back to your room to rest.”
Aria pushed Nora aside and tremblingly took out her phone to call the police, but her wrist was grabbed by a large hand.
Lucas’s eyes were icy, and his voice contained a warning: “Enough, Aria! Are you still going to play the game of pretending to be kidnapped by someone else today? Stop it!”
Everyone’s words stabbed her heart like a cold blade.
She was in so much pain that she almost choked, but she trembled and looked at the four people, yet she couldn’t make a sound for a long time.
She almost forgot that no one here would believe her.
Because, no one cared about her life at all.
Suddenly, Aria clutched the box in confusion and fled away.
I always returned to the villa
She still felt as if she hadn’t crawled out of that cold dungeon, with every inch of her skin exuding coldness.
The images of humiliation kept enlarging in her mind, making her feel tangled and confused.
That
person
was Nora’s friend, so is the kidnapping incident also related to Nora?
Aria calmed her emotions, trembling hands, and opened the mobile search engine. She entered the name Ethan Carter.
The young master of the Carter Group
Valmontis, the young gentleman of the privileged circle, was able to navigate both the legal and illegal worlds, making him truly influential anil successful
Arla looked at the picture above and felt a wave of panic in her heart.
At this moment, a contemptuous laugh suddenly sounded from behind, “Aria, using kidnapping as an excuse to attract men’s attention, not bad tactics.”
Aria turned around and met Lucas‘ playful black eyes.
What, just after saying you wanted to break up with me, you immediately set your sights on the next target? Are you so fond of competing with Nora for things like this?
She didn’t expect Lures to come back.
She thought he would accompany Nora at the Bennett’s Villa tonight.
This silence became a default in Lucas’s eyes, and he squinted lits dark eyes and a cold smile appeared on his thin lips,
“Aria, it was you who first dragged me into this web of marriage, I said, unless you die, you will be trapped in this marriage with me for the rest of our
lives.
Chapter 5
After speaking. Lucas tugged at his tie and walked towards the bathroom..
Aria watched the man’s back, feeling only numbness in her heart.
“Lucas, I was so tired. Because, I really died.”
She whispered softly, her voice as low as the scattered leaves drifting outside the window, unnoticed by anyone.
The next day, at the police station.
Aria clenched her hands and sat on the chair, waiting for the case to be heard..
She recounted every detail of her kidnapping, but she didn’t mention anything about death. After all, she is now standing here, alive and well, and no one would believe her.
She could only hope that the police could find solid evidence to bring the person who killed her to justice!
By that time, everything would have been revealed
Suddenly, there came the sound of noisy footsteps at the door.
Sir Bennett, Madam Bennett, and Lucas rushed in.
Sir Bennett’s face was filled with anger as he raised his hand and slapped it across! “Aria, in the past, your mischief could be overlooked, but now you dare to cause trouble at the police station! The Carter Group is currently a partner of the Bennett family, are you trying to ruin the Bennett family by doing
this!”
After speaking, the second slap was about to land, Arla prepared herself to be hit, but Lucas suddenly stood in front of her.
“Dad, Ria was my wife, her matters, I will handle.”
The sound of ‘Ria‘ made Aria’s mind go blank for a moment.
It seemed like I saw the Lucas from the past, the young Lucas with a bright and clear demeanor, who once helped her escape from the Bennett family.
Before she could even regain her senses, Lucas‘ cold voice resounded in her ear.
“Officer, I was Aria’s husband. Her kidnapping was all staged by herself. Please cancel her report.”
Chapter 6
Sir Bennett quickly agreed, “Yes, I revoke it! I am Aria’s father, and it was my fault for not reaching her properly! I allowed her to have a mischievous nature from a young age, and she loves to do these outrageous things to seek attention, causing trouble for all of you.”
Madam Bennett also stepped forward, “I was Aria’s mother, and it was us who spoiled her and twisted her character, making her speak without any
filter!
Aria stood frozen in place, her heart being slowly pried open like a pair of tweezers.
They were her warmest and closest family in this world.
But they scored her, condemned her, and regarded her as a disgrace!
Aria closed her eyes, and her whole body seemed to have been drained of strength
Don’t expect it.
Even if the police accepted her report, found her body, they would not have a shred of sorrow
Watching the case being dismissed, Aria truly experienced what it meant to feel heartbroken. Afterwards, she couldn’t even remember how she had returned to the police station
In the empty and silent living rooms, Lucas’s cold voice resounded.
“Aria, before you provoke other men, it would be better to look at your own status first, in case…”
Halfway through speaking, he caught sight of the red handprint on her fair face, like a thorn piercing his chest, suffocating and causing the second half of the sentence to choke in his throat.
In an instant, he suppressed his strange emotions and brought a cold pack towards Aria’s face.
Aria snapped back to reality and instinctively moved to the side to dodge
Lucas’s right hand froze in mid–air, and his face darkened.
“Snap“”
The ice pack fell heavily on the ground, and Lucas‘ gaze had already turned cold.
“Kindness was taken for granted, making up things out of thin air, you deserve to suffer, it’s better if you suffer to death.”
He left after saying this sentence.
Aria watched his back, a faint and self–deprecating smile hugging at the corners of her mouth.
Lucas, I was indeed being tortured to death.”
It was a long time before Aria slowly got up and returned to her bedroom, waiting for Director Reid to urge her manuscript.
I opened the computer and wrote down the final ending for The Pale Summit.
The bell rang, and the male lead and the female lead walked away, one heading south and the other heading north. From then on, the landscapes never met, and there was no intersection in the rest of their lives
Afterwards, she covered herself with the blanket and slowly fell asleep, sobbing softly.
The next day, it was gloomy,
Aria woke up, and she didn’t expect that the ending she had rewritten would cause such a stir on the internet.
If I remember correctly, this is an autobiography written by ‘Serith‘ based on his beloved one. How did it turn into a tragedy?
As a die–hard fan of the original couple, I waited for so many years, but I never expected to end up as a shipwrecked fan
There was so support.
It was a difficult task, but it was the ending that the fans of this book had longed for a complete estrangement until death.
Yeah, the male lead didn’t really love the female lead at all. The ending was perfect, and the female lead finally became herself again.
The heated argument between the two factions was raging, but Aria paid no attention
For her, this was the end of her and Lucas.
Chapter 6
12.324
After having breakdast, the phone rang
“Hello, miss. This is the Wishing Pavilion. You lett a wish pouch with us a year ago, and now you can come and collect it.”
Aria remembered that three years ago, the Wishing, Pavilion opened in Valmontis. She happened to pass by and wrote down her own wish, hoping to fulfill
it in the future.
Half an hour later, Aria arrived at the Wishing Pavilion.
I took the faded wish bag from the staff’s hand.
A wedding ring lay quietly inside, it was her and Lucas” wedding ring, and it was also the most important thing she had ever considered.
Next to it, there was a slightly yellowed piece of paper with her former wish written on it.
One: Reconcile with parents as soon as possible and mend the rift.
- Lucas could see her goodness, as long as he liked her, he could wait as long as it took.
