Chapter 8
The wedding between Samuel and me was something I insisted on. Initially, I wasn’t in a rush, but Samuel is such an old–fashioned stickler for rules. We’d been together for so long, and yet he’d only look but never touch. Every time he teased me, he’d panic, apologize, and flee like a scumbag!
Under my relentless persuasion, he finally stammered out his reasoning–he didn’t want to cross any lines before marriage.
Me: …
Usually, it’s the man who proposes, but I was the one shamelessly begging to marry him just to finally claim his body. It felt a bit unfair. But when I saw the barely contained excitement on his face, I figured–fine, it was

worth it.
I was never particularly fond of kids, so I discussed being child–free with Samuel. He doted on me and agreed without hesitation.
But for some reason, one day, I suddenly changed my mind. Maybe it was at a gathering where I saw Samuel holding someone else’s child, looking every bit like a devoted father. Something about that moment struck me.
I hesitated before asking him if he wanted kids.
He said no. But I could see the longing in his
eyes.
And then, I got pregnant…
Samuel placed his large hand over my belly

and held me for a long time. Finally, he told me that if I didn’t want the child, he would respect my decision.
“Silly, what kind of mother wouldn’t love her own child? Since they’re here, it’s a blessing from the heavens.”
On the day I gave birth, Samuel was more nervous than I was. When our child arrived safely, he cried harder than the baby.
Sophia said Samuel was just overwhelmed. Later, he admitted he never realized childbirth was so painful and swore never to let me go through it again.
I feel so happy, almost unrealistically so. There have been countless nights where I woke up, wondering if this was all just

a dream. But every time I turned to see Samuel’s sleeping face, I knew–this is real.
Life is peaceful and fulfilling. I have
everything I ever wanted. This life was worth
- it.
Samuel’s POV
I fell in love with Evelyn first. From the moment I recognized my feelings, I worked hard to make her mine.
Evelyn is incredibly pure. I’m older than her and always around, so making her fall for me wasn’t difficult. The real challenge was–how long would her love for me last?
I’m not a good person. In my younger years, to escape hardship, I staged a pitiful act and exploited Mr. & Mrs. Martin’s kindness. They took me in, funded my studies, and taught

me everything I know about business.
Before I met Evelyn, I had planned to betray them. If they could have everything, why couldn’t I?
Then I saw Evelyn.
She was from a completely different world than mine–hers was filled with light, while mine was shrouded in darkness.
She looked at me, wary yet curious, a hint of hostility in her eyes.
Suddenly, I wanted to see her every day. I felt like her presence added color to my dull, monotonous life.
When Mr. & Mrs. Martin passed away in a car accident, I received a letter from their lawyer. In it, they entrusted me with Evelyn’s

care, hoping I would ensure her safety and happiness. As a token of gratitude, they transferred 80% of their company shares to
- me.
That was when I realized–they had always seen through me. Yet, despite knowing everything, they still chose to trust me.
Evelyn grew up, and the way she looked at me changed. She admired me, relied on me, and I could see her carefully hiding her feelings.
I wanted to pull her into my arms and tell her, “I love you.”
But rationality held me back. I never act without certainty. As long as I controlled the strings, no matter how far the kite flew, it would always return.

I overestimated my self–control, though. My love for Evelyn grew more obsessive by the day. So, I devised a plan–making her think I had a girlfriend. It was a way to mask my feelings and, at the same time, test hers.
Sophia is my half–sister. If she weren’t still loyal to me, I would’ve abandoned her long
ago.
I knew Ryan was just a tool Evelyn used to provoke me, yet I still lost control.
The moment Evelyn, crying like a mess, kissed me, I knew–I could never let her go again.
I wanted to eliminate everyone who posed a threat to her, so I set a trap to ensure her safety.
Even that fool Sophia saw through my

intentions. She told me that women like it when men show vulnerability–it keeps love fresh.
Fine. Playing the fool to catch the tiger? If it meant spending my life with Evelyn, I’d do anything.
Evelyn took the initiative to lure out our enemies, catching me off guard. She didn’t realize that in that moment, I wanted to kill Sophia and Ethan–their so–called ‘strategic planning‘ meant nothing to me. No matter how many safety measures were in place, I could never allow the woman I loved to be in even the slightest danger.
Finally, Evelyn and I were together. Only God knows how hard I had to suppress myself every time she teased me.
Then, I played a little trick to make her

propose to me…
I knew Evelyn wasn’t that fond of children, yet I still ‘forced‘ her to have my baby.
Why?
Because if, one day, she ever stopped loving me, at least for our child’s sake, she wouldn’t leave me.
Now, she’ll be stuck with me for a lifetime.
My Evelyn.
The End.

When I woke up, I found that my boyfriend had lost his memory and was already engaged to someone else.
Watching them so happy and sweet together,
I didn’t cry or cause a scene.
Instead, I quietly watched them walk down the aisle to marry each other.
