His Knees, His Pleas, But Our Son's in Peace

I was already feeling the pressure from his questions and growing

impatience. The whole situation gave me a headache. So, I reached into my bag, pulled out an invitation, and handed it to him without

hesitation.

"We're getting married next month," I said plainly. "You're welcome to

attend if you want."

Nathan's face went pale, and his eyes filled with tears as he looked at the invitation in disbelief. "Why? Why are you marrying him?" His voice cracked. "You were my wife once. How can you just leave me behind like this?"NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Issca smiled, that mischievous grin crossing his face as he leaned in protectively, wrapping his arm around me. "Oh yes, thanks for reminding us. Doris *was* once blind," he said, a sharp tone of mockery in his voice. He then turned to me with warmth and affection, tightening his grip on my waist. "Darling, don't worry. No c**ach will ever come near you as long as I'm around."

Nathan looked broken, clinging to the false hope that I might still be the same woman who would forgive him if he pleaded enough. He believed that if he just tried harder, I'd come back to him, that I was still the girl who would reconcile at the sound of his coaxing. But it wasn't until he saw me, dressed in a stunning custom-made wedding gown from one of the world's top designers, standing at the in Panc Chapter 26

altar in front of hundreds of guests, that he finally realized I had truly abandoned him. The grandeur of the wedding, the worldwide attention, the joy on my face-it all crushed the last of his illusions.

No matter how much he confessed his feelings, no matter how much he cried, I never looked back. I never saw him again.

At the wedding, as I put my hand in Issca's, a soft smile played on my lips. My heart was full of love and certainty as I gazed into his eyes. Issca, who had been by my side through it all, looked at me with a mix of overwhelming emotion and tenderness. His voice cracked slightly as he whispered, "Doris, you're finally willing to look at me... I finally have you." His eyes reddened as he pulled me close, kissing me deeply, sealing our love with a moment that felt eternal. "My princess," he whispered, his forehead resting against mine, "I will love you forever, with my life.""
