Chapter 10
It was my father who had given him a golden business opportunity, offering a sky–high profit–sharing deal.
“What have I done…” Finn’s voice cracked, drowning in guilt.”
Archie smirked with cold amusement.
“President Brooks, now that you finally get it, it’s far too late. Faith is my wife now. You’d better go fix your own chaos with Darcie.“}}
“From now on, stay far away from us.“>

Archie pulled me close, guiding me to the car, and gently buckled my seatbelt with tender care.
As the car circled the fountain, I glanced out the window and saw Finn clutching the wedding dress, his eyes vacant, like a lost soul caught in a nightmare.}
That night, Archie had a custom wedding dress crafted just for me, a dazzling ruby sparkling at its heart.
“I remember how much you loved magical girl anime when you were little.”
“This one is far more precious and much more beautiful than anything Finn could ever design.”}
He had to compare everything, didn’t he?!
A genuine laugh escaped me, soft and unexpected.§
But that line, I must have said it when I was just a child.§
Suddenly, I lifted Archie’s chin gently.”
“Tell me, since when have you liked me?“}
Archie pulled me close, his voice warm with the joy of rediscovery.§
“Maybe in a past life. Faith, my whole existence was meant to love you.”}
Three months later, we were married.
All the influential faces of Miami gathered.
The ceremony was even live–streamed for the world to see.
My old fans swarmed like a storm.}
“I can’t believe it! Faith is the daughter of the jewelry king? She’s way beyond Finn!“}
“Finn’s in jail now! He abused Darcie, and when her secret lover found out, Finn lost it and stabbed him. Life sentence with death suspended on his first trial.
“Thank goodness Faith never married him. Such a violent monster.”>
“They say Finn married Darcie just to dodge the death sentence. Too bad the lover showed up out of nowhere.”>
“But as long as Faith is happy, who cares? It’s her day. Let’s not talk about that loser.“}
“Exactly! Give us the sweetness! Brother–in–law!“}
The live stream quickly soared past one million viewers.
Archie got swept up in the “brother–in–law” cheers and casually handed out red envelopes totaling a staggering 100 million dollars. After the celebration, he held me close, his voice soft and full of warmth.
“You’re the greatest gift heaven ever gave me. I’m just grateful I didn’t lose my chance.”

I looked up and asked, “Was it you who told Darcie to go back to Finn?”
At my words, Archie’s grip tightened, and the tension in his breath gave away everything. “I’m not angry.“”
“On the contrary, thank you for showing me who Finn truly is.”
“But there’s one condition.
Archie exhaled deeply, relief flooding his face.
“Say it. Whatever you want, I’ll do it. Because listening to my wife only brings fortune!“}]
I laughed softly.”
“First, no more lies. I hate being deceived.”
Archie nodded eagerly.
“And second…” I slid his hand gently to my belly.
“You’re going to be a dad.”}

For a heartbeat, he froze, then swept me up in his arms.
“Thank you, wife.”
And thank you for never giving up on me.
