News exploded overnight.
Blackwood Group CEO Marries in Secret!
Paparazzi surrounded the mansion.
She wore a simple dress, calm and composed.
Inside the car, silence pressed between them.
"You seem happy," he said suddenly.
"Why wouldn't I be?" she replied. "I survived."
He frowned. "Survived what?"
She didn't answer.
At the company entrance, his assistant froze when he saw her step out beside the CEO.
"Madam…?"
She smiled.
Inside the elevator, she felt a sharp pain in her wrist.
A familiar allergy reaction.
Last life, she collapsed here.
This time—
He grabbed her arm.
"You're sick," he said, voice tight.
She looked up, surprised.
"I thought," she teased weakly, "this marriage was fake."
His grip tightened.
"I don't like problems," he said. "And you collapsing would be a problem."
But when she leaned against his chest—
His heartbeat betrayed him.
Fast.
Uncontrolled.
And for the first time, the CEO realized:
This woman was already changing things.
