We've spent over twenty years side by side . Let's spend the rest of our lives together . Let's find happiness " . " " Happy ? " I let out a cold laugh . " What is happiness , Ethan ? Every time I look at you , I see the faces of two dead children . I remember you abandoning me , abandoning us , again and again . Tell me are those days supposed to be happiness ? " Ethan's eyes reddened , his face breaking into something close to despair . " Vivian ... it was all my fault . Tell me what I have to do . How can I make you forgive me ? " I stared at him with frozen eyes . Before I could answer , a dark shadow cut between us . Miles Prescott's fist smashed into Ethan's face , the blow so hard it sent him reeling . I'd never seen Miles like this , rage rolling off him like a freed predator , his eyes promising only destruction . " You heartless bastard . What right do you have to beg her forgiveness ? " His voice thundered . " Get out of here - before I tear you apart . " Miles wrapped me in his arms and turned , guiding me toward the doors . " Vivian , listen to me !

Months of hospitalization left him a hollow shell . By the time he returned , the power he once wielded had been stripped away . He was nothing but a figurehead , a man with nothing left . At the banquet , Old Master Prescott formally announced Miles as the heir of Prescott Holdings . I , as his future wife , was introduced with honor to family , friends , and partners in the business world . These past six months , Miles had not hidden me under his wing .
