I chuckled to myself. I quietly watched my family, who once belonged to me, surrounding Eden and asking about his well-being.
While I was lost in thought, there was a knock on the door. Monica stood up, as usual, but was stopped by Anna.
She smiled and joked, “Just take care of tomorrow’s groom. As your sister, I’ll take care of everything.”

“According to the investigation, the deceased is Theodore, who has been missing for four years. Mr. Clark, please come back with us for the investigation. The main fugitive was just apprehended today and according to his confession…”
Eden’s face paled instantly. He panicked and hid behind Monica. He interrupted the officer guiltily, “I’m not going. I’m getting married soon and I don’t want to be involved in these unlucky things.”
The officer refused to budge, staring straight at Eden. “Do you know what you’re wearing around your neck?”
