NovelEnglishThaddeus stood there, his heart pounding in his chest like a caged beast, as he took in the scene before him. It
was like something out of a nightmare-a twisted, cruel version of a moment he had only ever dreamed of. There
stood Evadne, in a wedding dress, looking like a porcelain doll, perfectly placed for admiration in a shop window.
The image was hauntingly beautiful, her icy white contrasting sharply with the deep black of the man beside her.
It was the first tThaddeus had seen her in a wedding dress, a vision he had imagined countless times but
never like this. His heart twisted painfully with every step he took towards them, his own blood trailing after him
like a liquid shadow.
"Evadne! I'm here!" he shouted, his voice breaking, his throat raw from desperation. Tears blurred his vision as
he pleaded, "Evadne, wake up! Look at
me!"
"Shh—" Avery stood tall and imposing behind Evadne, his presence as chilling as the icy air around them. His
hand rested lightly on her bare shoulder, the other raised to his lips in a gesture of silence. "Don't be so loud. My
wife is asleep."
Avery's words cut through Thaddeus like shards of glass. "You had Evadne for three whole years, Thaddeus. Did
you ever give her a wedding? Did you let her be a bride? You called her your wife, but did she ever truly get to
be one? All those dreams she had, the happiness she longed for-what you couldn't give her, | have."
He leaned in closer to Evadne, his fingers tracing her perfect jawline, gazing at her face with a tenderness that
felt like a knife twisting in Thaddeus's heart. "That night, we were truly happy. Maybe she hasn't given her heart
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttoyet, but with time, | believe she will forget you and love me."
Every word was a dagger, twisting deeper into Thaddeus's soul. He could never give Evadne the grand wedding,
the cherished moments she deserved. He had failed her, in more ways than one.
Avery's gaze never left Evadne's face, and in a moment of unrestrained emotion, he kissed her, deeply,
passionately-right in front of Thaddeus. It was a kiss that felt like the end of the world.
With a roar of anguish, Thaddeus
fired his gun at the glass separating them, each shot a futile attempt to shatter the barrier. But the bullets
merely bounced off, clattering harmlessly to the ground. The greenhouse was built with
bulletproof glass-his weapon was useless.
Panting heavily, Thaddeus prepared to reload when Avery finally turned from Evadne, speaking with a cold
detachment. "Save your strength. Your little gun can't break through."
Thaddeus's body shook with fury and despair. "Avery, this is all about revenge, isn't it? Evadne is innocent. Let
her go, and faceinstead!"
But Avery merely smirked, a cruel amusement playing across his lips. "Your life doesn't interest me, Thaddeus. |
want to see how deep your love for Evadne truly runs. Prove it to me."
As he spoke, a hidden passageway opened behind him, and a maid emerged, carrying a silver tray with a single,
ornate wooden box. Thaddeus's heart stopped at the sight.
Opening the box, Avery revealed
three pills-one white, one gray, one black. "These are a gift from our honeymoon on Rose Island. The sender
assuredthat if Evadne takes them, she'll be mine forever."
Thaddeus's eyes widened, his fists pounding against the glass in impotent rage. Avery continued, his voice
almost wistful, "But | can't bring myself to do it. The giver warned that the process would be excruciatingly
painful. | can't bear the thought of Evadne suffering."
Avery's eyes met Thaddeus's, and he stepped closer until they were separated only by the unyielding glass. "I'm
curious what these pills will do. So, | have a proposition for you-"
He pushed the box towards Thaddeus, his smile twisted with malice. "Take these pills yourself, Thaddeus. Show
