Rewriting My Heart's Fate

And just recently, Murphy almost destroyed Grayson Group completely. Now, this was getting ridiculous. His daughter, Vivian, was pursuing Ethan. And his son, Marc, was pursuing me. What was going on?

What was even more unbelievable was that the person who had been encouraging me all this time turned out to be him. And now, here he was, standing right in front of me, leaving me completely stunned. Marc noticed my shock and smiled even more. His grin deepened. "Surprised? A son of the world's richest man falling for you at first sight?"

His words made me blush immediately. That was direct.

Flustered, I quickly waved my hands. "No, I just didn't expect someone of your status to notice someone like me."

"Someone like you?" Marc's eyes darkened with displeasure. "Evelyn, you're being too humble. You're a rising star in the fashion industry, a goddess in the eyes of many!"

He continued, "And your beauty, your talent, would make any man fall for you."

His words made me blush even more, but a sense of worry began to creep within me.

Marc's status was far above me, a self-made designer. Could there really be a future for us?

Besides, I hadn't let go of my feelings for Ethan completely yet. After all, there was a reason why he was with Vivian.

It seemed like Marc had read my mind, and he smoothly changed the topic. "Let's have dinner first, and then we can chat more. I'm your biggest fan. I want to know everything about you."

With that, he gracefully pulled out a chair for me to sit. I sat down. My cheeks were still flushed, and my mind was a whirl of mixed emotions.

Surrounded by the elegant piano music and delicious food and wine, Marc and I talked for hours throughout the evening.

Not only was he handsome and

wealthy, but his intellect also

surpassed my expectations. He had traveled to many countries, and

seen

So much of the world. Hex

conversations carried an undeniable charm, and his admiration for me was genuine.

When it was time to leave, he gently took my hand. "Evelyn, I had a wonderful time tonight. You're an incredible woman, and you deserve the best. I don't care about your past or your current status. I like the smart, determined, and ambitious you. So, would you... give me a chance?"

I stared into his eyes. My heart was racing. Ethan's image began to blur. Marc's sincerity and passion seemed to melt the last of my defenses. "I..."

I narrowed my eyes instinctively but then froze in shock. A figure across the street caught my eye. The tall figure was too familiar.

"Ethan?"

What should I have done? Just as I hesitated another figure appeared beside Ethan. It was a petite woman dressed in luxurious clothing. She was linking her arm with his and smiling happily.

My heart sank to the pit of my stomach again. Of course, Vivian would never give him up. Tears blurred my vision. I could no longer hold back anymore. I turned and ran. "Evelyn!"

Marc called out my name urgently. But I couldn't hear him anymore. My world had collapsed once again.

I ran until I was out of breath. Tears streamed down my face.noveldrama
