You bitch ! Ill kill you ! Its all your fault ! If it werent for you , none of this wouldve happened to me ! Die ! Just die already ! Once youre dead , Lovell wont be mad at me anymore ! > Horace had completely lost it .
His eyes were wild , and he clutched a knife in his hand .
The madness in his expression was so intense that no one dared move , let alone stop him .
No one knew how many times he stabbed Jaylee before finally stopping .
Slowly , his eyes regained focus .
With a loud clang , the bloodied knife dropped to the ground .
Horace stood up with a strange smile on his face and started walking toward me , one slow step at a time .
Lovell , shes dead now .
Dont be mad anymore , okay ? he said softly , like he was talking to a lover instead of walking away from a murder scene .
Didnt we say wed always be together ? Didnt you promise youd wait for me ? Come on lets go inside .
Lets get married .
Well be together forever .
} His face was splattered with blood , and it was dripping from his clothes onto the ground .

The sight of him was terrifying .
Horrified , instinctively took a step back .
When Horace saw me recoil , the smile on his face disappeared .
His expression darkened as he stared at me with intensity .
Youre avoiding me ? Lovell , are you scared of me ? How could you be scared of me ? Didnt you say you loved me ? Its okay , Lovell .
I forgive you .
Come here , come back to me .
§ Realizing he was completely unstable , Clement stepped in front of me protectively and subtly signaled the nearby bodyguards.§ They rushed forward , tackling Horace to the ground and restraining him with force.§ Horace thrashed wildly , shouting like a madman .
Lovell ! How could you leave me like this ? I gave you everything ! Why would you betray me like this ? And you ! Clement ! he screamed , his rage now turned on him .
Werent you supposed to be an idiot ? You were faking it ! Youve been pretending this whole time , havent you ? You were planning this ! You were after her from the beginning ! You wanted to steal her from me ! Ill kill you , Clement ! Ill kill you ! he roared , grinding his teeth .
Clement gave another calm nod , and the guards dragged Horace away like he was nothing more than trash .
After the chaos died down , Clement turned to me .
I was still frozen , unable to process what had just happened .
Gently , he reached for my hand and held it .

Dont listen to him , he said softly .
Hes lost his mind .
None of it means anything .
Then , he smiled just a little .
www nough … he did get one thing right .
I really have had my eyes on you for a long time .
A week later , Horace was formally charged with attempted murder and taken into custody to await sentencing .
As for Clement and me , we boarded our flight for our honeymoon .
It was on the plane that I finally learned the truth about him .
When he was just eight , his parents died in a tragic accident .
His family was full of power struggles , and to protect him , his grandpa publicly claimed that the trauma had left Clement mentally impaired .
That lie kept him away from the center of all the family scheming .
He played the role of a fool for years , hiding his sharp mind until the day he was strong enough to take control of his family and protect himself .
I sat beside him quietly , listening to his story .

Then , before I could fully react , he held out his hand to me .
Resting in his palm were two White Rabbit milk candies .
I looked up , stunned .
But he simply smiled warmly .
When I was seven , he said , I met a little five year old girl .
I used these two candies to persuade her to be my wife in the future .
Lovell , I love you .
Deeper and longer than youll ever know .
Thank you for finding your way back to me .
I threw my arms around him , holding him tightly .
Id never felt so safe , so at peace .
No , Clement .
It was I who should be thanking you .
