Willow’s POV 

Ericsson Ventures’s expansion in France had always been bound to ruffle feathers-it was only a matter of time before someone took offense. 

That day, Dyson was tied up with urgent business matters and couldn’t stay by my side. I didn’t think much of it. After all, it was just one day. What could possibly happen? 

As it turned out-everything. 

That evening, chaos erupted. 

A group of armed men, clearly sent by a rival foreign company, suddenly stormed in. My bodyguards fought back with everything they had, but they were outnumbered badly. 

The moment the attack began, I didn’t hesitate. I called the cops, and then I reached out to Dyson and others from the company. But they all needed time to get here, and we didn’t have much of it! 

My bodyguards were already starting to fall. 

As I frantically searched for a way to escape, a flash of steel cut through the corner of my vision A blade was aimed directly at me. 

didn’t even have time to react. 

But in that split second, someone threw himself in front of me-shielding me from the blow. 

A muffled groan escaped his lips. 

looked up, my heart racing, and my breath caught. 

t was Reed! 

Moments later, a commotion rose from the far end of the street. Reinforcements had arrived- Dyson’s men. The attackers hesitated, glancing at each other in panic, but it was too late fo 

hem to run. 

They were swiftly overwhelmed and taken down. 

Willow! Are you hurt?” Dyson’s voice rang out as he rushed to my side, his face pale with worry Before I could even respond, he was already checking me over, his hands trembling as he scanned every inch for injuries. 

Only then did I manage to gather myself. I reached out and steadied him, saying quickly, “I’m ine. R-Reed… He took the knife for me.” 

His hands froze. 

I held his gaze, my voice quiet but unwavering. “Don’t worry. I won’t forgive him. He still owes me three lives. Nothing will ever make up for that.” 

Relief flickered in his eyes, and he gave a small nod before turning away, his expression hardening again as he moved to handle the aftermath. 

Once it was all over, I didn’t go to the hospital to see Reed. 

Instead, I gave the cops everything I had on him. 

06 1 

I submitted the evidence to the authorities back home. The moment he was discharged from the 

hospital, he would be deported-sent back to face trial in court. 

In the end, he would go to jail. 

He would answer for my parents, for the innocent lives we lost. 

Of course, I still paid for his medical treatment. He saved my life-that much I acknowledged. 

But that was all. 

I stayed away from the hospital, though news about him still found its way to me. 

They said that the moment he woke up, he began asking for me. My name was all he spoke of. 

The hospital staff, touched by his fixation, even tried to help him contact me. But I refused every 

time. 

In the end, under Dyson’s careful watch, Reed was escorted straight from the hospital to the airport and sent back to Montana in handcuffs. 

It wasn’t until a few days later that the final verdict came. 

The evidence I’d provided was airtight. The cops moved quickly and arrested Haven. 

What I hadn’t expected-what still left a chill in my chest-was that Reed had been telling the truth. 

He really had killed her. 

By the time the authorities found her body, it had already begun to decompose. 

Reed confessed without hesitation. In the end, he was convicted on multiple counts and sentenced to life in jail. 

When I received the official judgment, I returned to my hometown. 

brought the sentencing document to my parents’ grave and burned it there, letting the ashes scatter in the wind. 

buried the three of them-Mom, Dad, and my baby-together in one place. A family that never 

had the chance to meet. 

could only hope that, wherever they were, my parents would look after the child I never got to 

old. 

Once everything was settled, I left the States again. 

The projects in France were still ongoing. I had no plans to return, at least not for now. 

As for Dyson-I didn’t know what my future with him would look like. 

But for the first time in a long while, I was certain of one thing. 

I had the courage to move forward now.
