“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
comments.
“I’m watching Mr. Kaufman’s fireworks show! Anyone else here?!”
“I heard Mr. Kaufman spent a fortune hiring experts to put together this fireworks show for his wife!”
“Wow, he’s loaded, handsome, and super romantic! I wish I

could be his wife…”
“Dream on. They’ve really been through thick and thin together. Not everyone can be Grace Parrish.”

“Yeah, they make a perfect couple! People always say there’s no true love among the rich, but this couple proves it wrong.”
“He named an asteroid Grace last year and put on a fireworks show this year. What about the next year?”
Grace sneered as if to laugh at herself.
Everyone in town knew how much Antonio Kaufman loved Grace.
He even named the company after both of them.
When Grace was kidnapped, Antonio negotiated with the kidnappers alone, almost losing his life to save her.
Later, to help Grace recover, Antonio traveled the world searching for renowned doctors.
And he gathered a bunch of rare treasures just to please her.
They had known each other since puberty.
Back then, Antonio was the defiant rich boy, while Grace was the quiet yet strong–willed noble lady.
Later, his family suffered a downfall, and her parents passed
away.
They supported each other through the tough times and eventually became the perfect couple that everyone envied.

However, three months ago, Grace stumbled upon his betrayal…
At this thought, Grace felt a sudden chill, her heart aching.
Then, a shawl was draped over her shoulders, carrying a faint scent of soap.
She turned around and saw Antonio’s handsome face.
He pulled her close, cooing, “Silly girl, why are you out here? You’ll catch a cold.”
His gentle tone was full of concern.
They got inside. Antonio took out a velvet box.
Grace recognized it right away. It was a Patek Philippe pocket watch, which recently caused a stir by fetching a high price at an auction.
The watch face was etched with a photo of them embracing each other.
The inside of the back cover had an ancient inscription, with their initials engraved and connected by the symbol “&.”
Antonio gazed at Grace, his eyes sparkling with deep affection.
“Grace, this represents my love. My heart pounds for you no matter in the past, present, or future.”
His lips curled up slightly. “When we grow old, we’ll pass it on to our children.”
Grace stiffened in his embrace, feeling bitter.

Sadly, they wouldn’t have a future, let alone children.
Just then, a phone rang.
Antonio let go of Grace, answering the call with an annoyed. face, “Didn’t I tell you? Tonight is my private time. Any business matters will have to wait until tomorrow.”
But the caller seemed persistent, and Antonio’s tone grew increasingly impatient.
Grace cut in, sounding like a considerate wife, “It’s okay. You can go. Business comes first.”
She must get used to being alone on Valentine’s Day.
Antonio was surprised yet touched.
Reluctantly, he pecked on her forehead. “You’re so understanding.” Then, he grabbed his coat and left.
The room was quiet, with only the ticking of the clock.
Grace stared at the photo, lost in thought.
Finally, she closed the pocket watch.
By accident, she unlocked her phone, and it automatically switched to the next live stream.
There was a sudden knock at the door of a presidential suite with identical decorations.
Mylie Sparks appeared on screen, her face beaming with excitement.
“See? My honey is always at my service!”
