When Grace finally recovered from her severe illness, there were only ten days left until her fake death.
She had been told about a detailed plan over the phone.
Soon, Grace would be able to escape from here by faking a car accident.
On Grace’s birthday, Antonio mysteriously took her to the harbor, where a brand–new yacht sparkled under the sunlight. It was the gift he was giving her, named Forever Grace.
Then, with a smile, Antonio took Grace’s hand and led her aboard the yacht, taking her to an island.
As soon as she stepped off the yacht, Grace froze.
The island was covered with lilies of the valley, her favorite.
At night, grand fireworks exploded in the sky.
Antonio appeared amidst the cheers of all his friends.
He wore a suit, exuding an air of elegance and nobility.
His intense gaze was fixated on Grace as always.
It was like she was the only thing that mattered in this world.
Antonio came up to Grace, took out a ring, and said, “Grace, I promised to give you a diamond ring every year.
C
“This is the one for this year.”
He curved his lips into a charming smile, his eyes glinting with. affection.
The crowd started cheering.
“Antonio really loves Grace. He literally spoils her rotten!”
“Yeah, no doubt! Antonio even has Grace’s birthday as his car license number!”
They had no idea that Grace didn’t feel anything when she watched him put the new ring on her finger.
It was time to make a wish.
Antonio gazed at Grace, finding her usual cool features soft at this moment. “Grace, may all your wishes come true,” he
said.
Grace opened her eyes and smiled faintly.
Antonio probably thought she’d made the same wish as before.
He didn’t know that her birthday wish for this year was to escape from him!
After a day of ups and downs, Grace went to bed.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by a text message.
Mylie had sent two words, “Come out.””
Grace threw on a coat and walked unsteadily to the hearh

To her surprise, the same place where they had celebrated her birthday was now hosting a wedding!
The groom, the guests, and the decorations hadn’t changed…
Only the bride, who was holding a bouquet of lilies of the valley, was Mylie instead of her.
Everyone seemed to have known about this all along.
Antonio’s friends were cheering, “Come on, let’s all toast Antonio!”
“Congrats, Antonio!”
“Antonio, you’re such a lucky man!”
“Antonio, I really envy you. You have such a wonderful girl by your side, and your wife doesn’t know anything at all!”
The atmosphere suddenly froze.
The carefree smile melted away from Antonio’s face, replaced by a stern look as he demanded, “Everyone better watch what they say.”
He added, “If anyone lets it slip in front of Grace, I’ll make them disappear right here.”
Everyone exchanged looks, stunned into silence.
Hamish quickly stepped in to ease the tension, “Antonio, relax. If anyone dares to talk nonsense, I’ll make sure they pay!”
Antonio’s expression finally softened a bit.

Soon, the mood became lively again.
Amidst the cheers, Antonio and Mylie kissed and exchanged rings.
They did everything a newlywed couple would do.
Finally, the crowd began to disperse.
Grace still stood there silently, watching her husband place another woman on the dining table and lift her dress.
Mylie clung to him, smiling at Grace triumphantly.
She whispered in Antonio’s ear, “Thank you for the wedding and the island. I love this.””
Antonio replied gently, “It’s a gift for the child you’re carrying.”
Soon, Mylie was coming. She held him tightly, trembling.
“Antonio, I never dared to wish for much. As long as you let me love you, I will feel… happy.”
Her voice carried a mixture of pleading, pain, and pleasure.
Antonio smiled playfully as he came in and out of her body.
“As I said, as long as you behave, I can give you everything except a title.”
“What about… love?”
Antonio’s lips curled in disdain as he bumped into her harder. “You can have it, of course.”

What he didn’t know was that Grace had been watching all of this the whole time.
