Rose recognized this man. He was Vincent Sterling's personal assistant, Leon Jones. She had also seen him at that party that day.
But what was that woman dressed in a wedding gown doing beside him? Rose wondered. Was he here to get married too?
Leon didn't even realize there was another woman standing next to Vincent. He just kept apologizing. He had gone to pick up the lady Vincent was supposed to marry, a fake one but they were caught in traffic on the way, while his boss had arrived early, thinking Leon was already there.
"You don't need to bother yourself anymore. I got married already" Vincent said, walking past him with his hands in his pockets.
Leon blinked in confusion. "Huh?"
Only then did he notice the woman beside Vincent, dressed in a wedding gown.
"Hi" Rose waved awkwardly at Leon and quickly followed behind Vincent.
"Boss, I don't understand, how can you suddenly get married..." Leon started, about to run after Vincent, but suddenly remembered the woman beside him. He immediately apologized, took out some cash from his wallet, and handed it to her.
"I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Just call me tonight, I'll send more money to you for wasting your time"
The lady had already been irritated by the whole situation, but the moment she received the money, her mood changed.
After settling her, Leon ran after Vincent.
"Boss, we planned this already. I already paid the registrar to give you a fake marriage certificate"
Rose gasped. So he was going to have a fake marriage today with that lady earlier… and it was going to be a fake certificate. But the one we just signed didn't look fake at all. Why did he do that? Rose wondered.
Leon noticed Vincent didn't respond and immediately kept quiet.
Vincent walked toward his car and opened the backseat door.
"Get in"
His voice was deep and commanding.
Rose didn't hesitate and got in immediately. Vincent closed the door gently and signaled Leon to drive. Leon quickly snapped out of his thoughts and rushed to the driver's seat.
Vincent walked to the other side and got in, sitting beside Rose. The car drove off immediately.
Silence filled the car.
Leon kept stealing glances at Rose through the rearview mirror, wondering where his boss met such a beautiful woman. He had rarely seen Vincent with any woman. Instead, women always flocked around him like honeybees.
So who exactly was she?
The boss had even opened the backseat door for her… and she was dressed in a very expensive wedding gown.
Meanwhile, Rose kept her eyes fixed on the window. Her thoughts drifted to her past life… her son, Noah. She could still remember his screams as the fire consumed him… his last words to her.
A tear slipped down her cheek.
She quickly wiped it away so no one would notice.
She remembered how she had been paralyzed for three years… trapped inside the villa, unable to step out. As she stared at the passing scenery, something suddenly clicked.
She was paralyzed.
Her eyes widened.
Oh my God…
That meant...
She could walk by this period.
She hadn't even realized it because of all the chaos earlier.
Slowly, she began to wiggle her legs, a smile spreading across her face.
Vincent noticed this and he turned slightly to look at her, his brows faintly furrowing.
Why was she suddenly so happy… wiggling her legs like a child?
