The elevator was spacious, but Emyr’s wheelchair occupied the very center.

Charmaine didn’t dare move too much. She took a couple of steps back but ended up falling straight into Emyr’s arms.
His entire body radiated intense heat..
Charmaine was taken aback. It seemed Emyr wasn’t just burning with anger–his whole body felt like it was on fire.
The next second, her chin was firmly grasped, forcing her head to turn 90 degrees. She was met with Emyr’s furious gaze, his eyes cold enough to freeze her in place.
He pressed her again. “Where exactly do I need treatment?”
His flawless face was inches away, and the sheer force of his presence pressed down on her. Charmaine instinctively held her breath, her heartbeat pounding wildly out of control.
It was so loud she thought he might hear it.
Her clear eyes gazed up at him, reflecting his image completely.
Emyr’s fingers on her chin unconsciously tightened.
The air around them thickened with an invisible tension as if an unseen force was pulling them closer together.
Just as Emyr’s thin lips were about to brush the corner of Charmaine’s mouth, a furious voice rang out from
a distance, rapidly approaching.
“What the hell are you two doing?”
Milo couldn’t believe his eyes.
Seeing Charmaine and Emyr tangled up in the elevator, with Emyr sitting in his wheelchair and the two of them almost kissing, he didn’t even bother shutting his car door before storming over.
The sudden interruption shattered the intimate moment between them.
Charmaine quickly jumped up, stepping in front of Emyr before Milo could get any closer.
Frowning, she snapped, “Milo, what are you freaking out about now?”
“Freaking out?”
Milo pointed at Emyr, who was wheeling himself out of the elevator. The crazy one is this cripple! How dare he do something like that to you?”
Charmaine’s face remained expressionless. “And what does it have to do with you?”
“Of course, it has something to do with me. You’re my
But before he could finish, Charmaine’s icy glare shut him up.

Frustrated, he changed his approach. “You’re just a maid at Cross Residence, not his lover. How can you two be that close? Charmaine, guys like him don’t have genuine feelings for women. Don’t let him fool you!”
A mocking smile flickered in Charmaine’s eyes. “Lover? You enjoy making baseless accusations, don’t you?”
“No, Charmaine, I didn’t mean to insult you, I just…”
Milo almost bit his tongue. The words had slipped out without thought. He never intended to paint her in at bad light, but
Emyr’s icy stare was razor–sharp as he sneered, “How is my intimacy with my fiancée any of your business?”
Milo froze. “Fiancée?”
“You two aren’t….
Just then. Tad arrived with the bodyguards after handling the impostor situation.
Ignoring Milo, Charmaine followed Emyr into the car under Tad’s escort.
As the Maybach drove off into the distance, Milo stood frozen like a statue, staring after it in disbelief.
He never imagined that after everything, they would still end up together.
As he stood lost in thought, his friend Jared Wright walked up and slapped him on the back. “Hey, Milo, snap out of it.”
Jared looked at him with amusement. “Didn’t know you were such a hopeless romantic.”
“Shut up,” Milo grumbled, pushing him away. Jared had just returned from abroad and didn’t know much about the situation.
Frustrated, Milo muttered, “She’s the sister who was switched at birth.”
“What? Charmaine? Are you serious?”
Milo looked surprised. “You know her?”
It finally clicked. “Oh right, you and Daniel were in the same amateur racing team. So you heard it from him?”
“More than that. I’ve seen her plenty of times.”
Jared stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking relaxed. “She used to live in the building next to mine. Back then, she was a legend at our school. I remember when she first started, her grades were great, but then they suddenly tanked. Never figured out why.”
