Chapter 10
The next day, Markus made a phone call to specially thank me
for taking care of him very well.
I smiled a little embarrassedly and politely said, “It’s all my
responsibility, Mr. Serrano.”
There was a pause on the other end of the phone for a few
seconds, and then Markus gritted his teeth and uttered my
name, “Raquel, you are!”
He didn’t even tell me what it really was, the phone was hung up,
leaving me completely confused.
The Serrano Group is no longer there, and it seems like Markus
and I don’t have any reason to continue meeting.
It had been several days since I last saw him. When I saw him
again, he drunkenly knocked on the door of my house.
The moment the door opened, he fell into my arms.
I exerted all my strength to help him onto the sofa. As I stood up and tried to leave, he grabbed onto me. Without being able to
steady myself, I fell into his arms.

Our distance was so close, he looked at me seriously and gently
called my name, “Raquel.”
At this moment, his eyes were only on me, and my heart.
suddenly couldn’t restrain itself from pounding.
Closer and closer, slowly approaching, finally…
Everything afterwards was a mess, everything went off track, and my perceived patience was all burned to ashes.
The next day, I ran without any progress after waking up.
Halfway through the run, I suddenly remembered that this seemed to be my home. I stayed outside until it was getting
dark and cautiously pushed open the door.
The light suddenly turned on, and Markus was still there, looking up at me with a half–smile, as if to say, “What? Don’t want to
take responsibility?”
I stood still, feeling a bit indecisive for a moment.
“Let’s talk.”
I originally wanted to advise him not to take last night’s matter to heart. It is common for people to get carried away by food
and drink and be infatuated for a while.

He looked a bit helpless between his eyebrows and stopped me,
saying, “You can’t say anything nice with that mouth of yours, so
you listen to me first.”
Markus had a very serious expression. He wasn’t as serious as
he is today on the day when the Serrano Group went bankrupt,
which made me suddenly nervous too.
“Raquel, he was going to get engaged. It is unethical to have a
crush on a married man.”
I shook my head, wanting to say no, but he continued speaking:
“I clearly knew that your mind wasn’t particularly clear at the
moment, it’s unfair to ask you to make a decision now.”
“But I was afraid that if I gave you time, you would see what kind
of person I was and wouldn’t like me as much anymore.”
“No matter whether you were grateful for my feelings or
respected and admired me, you initiated the provocation, so it is
not right to provoke and then run away.”
Markus pulled out a ring from somewhere and looked at me
intently, “So, Raquel, will you marry me?”
I felt my mind in a complete chaos, and somehow, without knowing how, I nodded my head and the ring was put on.
“Did you get your ID card?”

I nodded subconsciously, and Markus smiled at me, saying,
“Let’s go.”
“Where are you going?”
“Get married.”
We became the last couple to get married at the City Hall today.
When I came out, it was dusk, with the beautiful sunset dyeing
half of the sky red.
All the delusions and regrets have settled into dust at this
point…
The end.

“Ms. Parrish, are you sure you wanna fake your death and live as
your twin sister?”
Grace Parrish paused and then said firmly, “Yes.”
The person on the other end seemed surprised, but he soon
responded, “Alright, we’ll be on it right away. It should take
about 30 days.”
After hanging up, Grace stood on the presidential suite terrace,
gazing into the distant neon lights.
Right after she was born, her parents created a fake twin–sister
identity for her, just so she could escape danger if needed.
Who would have thought? It became her tool to break free from
the husband she once loved.
Suddenly, fireworks erupted in the sky, lighting up the entire
night.
The live stream on her phone was flooded with envious.
