"I never loved you. None of this would've happened if you hadn't stolen Max's bracelet and tricked me into thinking you were my soulmate."
I clasped Max's hand and turned to walk away.
Richard scrambled after us in his wheelchair, only to hit a jagged stone and crash violently onto the pavement.
"Victoria, please… Just one more chance—"
I didn't look back. I quickened my pace.
Later, I confessed everything to Max—my past life, the betrayal, the suffering.
His fist slammed into the wall, cracking the plaster.
"If I'd known what that bastard put you through in your last life, I would've torn him apart sooner." His voice was raw with fury. "You endured hell because of that bracelet—because of me. I swear, Richard will pay for every second of your pain."
But before Max could make good on his promise, Richard snatched me away.
Bound and helpless, I struggled against the ropes as he loomed over me.
"Victoria, I've changed. Why can't you forgive me?" His voice cracked. "Why choose him? You know how much I despise Max!"
His wheelchair creaked as he leaned closer, eyes wild. "You spilled your blood to save him, but left me broken. Wasn't I worth saving too?"
A manic grin twisted his lips. "But I don't blame you. Your hatred just proves how deeply you love me."
"This time, I'll be the one to protect you. We'll rewrite our story—just like it was meant to be." His fingers trembled as he reached for me. "Your blood… it can fix me, can't it?"
Delusion glittered in his gaze. "Once I walk again, I'll give you everything—a wedding fit for royalty, children with my strength and your beauty…"
I recoiled, my voice shaking. "Richard, listen to yourself! Your legs are gone. My blood won't change that. Just let me go, and we'll pretend this never happened."
But reason was lost on him.
The glint of a blade flashed as he advanced. "It'll only hurt for a moment, darling. Then we'll be together—forever."
The knife grazed my wrist—
The door exploded inward.
Max's boot sent Richard flying. "Victoria!" His hands cradled my face, thumbs brushing away tears. "Did he hurt you?"
I choked out a sob. "You came…"
"Always." He sliced through the ropes, pulling me close.
Behind us, Richard let out a guttural scream. With a final surge of strength, he lunged—
Max sidestepped.
Richard crumpled, the knife plunging into his own chest.
By the time the ambulance arrived, it was too late.
Diana shaved her head in mourning. The Thaddeus empire crumbled overnight.
And the Caldwell Group? We didn't just rise—we conquered.
Months later, Max gave me the wedding my past life had denied me—a spectacle of crystal and roses, with half the city watching in awe.
No whispers of "disgrace" this time. Only envy.
As fireworks painted the sky, Max tilted my chin up, his lips brushing mine.
This time, the happy ending was ours.
(The End)
