Prissie’s POV
In the end, Reigne stopped screaming.
Maybe in a moment of madness, pushed past the edge by pain too much to bear, she bit through her own tongue.
Once he got the outcome he wanted, Declan ended the call. Without hesitation, he turned and walked over to me, and then he dropped to his knees.
“Prissie,” he began, “I know I’m the most foolish, most blind, worthless bastard in the world.“\
His sad eyes gazed at me. “I also know you’re bEEEEEET

he admitted, his voice cracking.
“Please, he begged, “for the sake of the ten years make things right. Please?”
By the time he finished, tears fell down his face..

Like the world was ending, his entire body trembled violently, and heavy, uncontrollable tears streamed from his eyes, dripping down his chin one after another.
And at that moment, I knew he really regretted everything.”
But… What now?
With a calm expression, I looked down at him from above and said nonchalantly, “How many times do I have to say it, Declan, before it sinks in?”
My gaze didn’t waver as I continued, “I have no feelings for you anymore. Not even a trace. The man I truly love now? It’s Dallas.”
As the words left my mouth, I caught a glimpse of Dallas out of the corner of my eye. Though he had been pretending to stay composed, fearing I might waver and get back together with his brother, he had been clutching the hem of my shirt tightly. Now, he quietly raised a hand to cover the smile tugging at his lips.
My heart softened just a little.
Content and satisfied after dinner, I ignored Declan’s devastated, broken expression and reached out with a smile to take Dallas’s hand. Together, we stood and began walking away.
“Prissie.”
Halfway out, Declan called out to me in a hoarse whisper.
“I… I’m sorry.”
Nine hours after he said those words, Declan set fire to the house we once shared.
Whether by accident or intention, he didn’t manage to get out in time.
Out of surface–level brotherly obligation, Dallas visited him at the hospital twice.
Declan didn’t die, but half his body had been ravaged by flames.
The third time the hospital issued a critical condition notice due to infection, Dallas and I were in a private jet, en route to Finland for our honeymoon.”
Inside the luxurious cabin filled with every comfort, two figures–one big, one small–were curled up together watching a horror movie, trembling under a blanket.”
Halfway through, Dallas couldn’t help himself. He started smothering me with kisses and lifted me into his arms with a grin. Ah… Newlyweds They’re all like this.
Even if one day someone’s heart strays, at least the sweetness and joy of this moment are real.
As long as you strive to live life as freely as the open wilderness, happiness will always find its way to you… when you least expect it.E
[The End]
