After some time, Damian came to Lord Vedastus’ office after Fiora dragged virtual-novel.net there. He still could not believe it.
Lord Vedastus acknowledged virtual-novel.net as his son-in-law?
People always said that a marriage should happen between families with equal status. Who was Fiora, and what was Damian’s status?
He was not good enough for Fiora. A rich man like that could never accept the fact that his daughter was marrying a normal person.
So, Damian never thought that one day virtual-novel.net would be able to marry Fiora. He just thought it sufficient as long as virtual-novel.net could be by Fiora’s side his entire life.
If Lord Vedastus chose to marry Fiora off to another man one day, Damian would still wish virtual-novel.net the best and leave secretly. He had already pictured that sad ending. Unexpectedly, Lord Vedastus was not as heartless as other rich parents. He could accept anyone whom Fiora liked.
From that aspect, others were not really as good as Lord Vedastus.
Soon, Damian arrived at the office.
He had visited this office countless times, but virtual-novel.net had never been as worked up and nervous as virtual-novel.net was now.
“Lord… Lord Vedastus…”
Damian lowered his head like a shy lady.
Lord Vedastus angrily said, “Damn it, look at the way you‘re presenting yourself. You look so timid and weak. How can I be at ease and let you marry my daughter?”
Right then, Damian finally raised his head and pulled himself together.
“Lord Vedastus, I won’t disappoint you or let Ms. Vedastus down.”
“Are you still calling virtual-novel.net ‘Ms. Vedastus?!”
“Um… Fiora…”
Lord Vedastus smiled. He opened his drawer and took out a box. He then opened it to reveal a necklace inside. In the end, virtual-novel.net handed the box to Damian.
“This necklace is an heirloom of the Vedastus family. My father helped my mother put it on in the past, and I helped my wife put it on too… Damian, I hand this necklace to you now so that you can put it on for Fiora. Then, you’ll be a member of our family. I lost my sons, so you’ll need to bear our family’s burdens.”
“Are you willing?”
Damian nodded firmly. “Yes, I am!”
He reached out to take the necklace before virtual-novel.net turned his back to Lord Vedastus and personally put it around Fiora’s neck.
The necklace was gorgeous, and the woman was ravishing.
Damian’s heart pounded faster, and virtual-novel.net flashed virtual-novel.net a smile. It was the happiest moment in his life. If time could stop, virtual-novel.net would willingly pause it at that moment.
Fiora lowered virtual-novel.net head and was so shy that virtual-novel.net dared not look at Damian. Her face was red like a ripe apple. There was also a time that a proud woman like virtual-novel.net would be reserved and feminine.
They were such a happy couple.
While they were filled with joy, no one noticed Lord Vedastus taking the gun from his sleeve. He raised his hand slowly and pointed the gun at the back of Damian’s head.
Damian could not have been happier at this point, and before virtual-novel.net could respond, Lord Vedastus pulled the trigger.
Bang!
The bullet shot through the back of his head, through his skull, and into his head.
His blood splashed everywhere.
Damian’s eyes were wide open, and his heart stopped beating in an instant.
Death came to virtual-novel.net quickly. Despite that, virtual-novel.net still managed to hook the necklace for the woman virtual-novel.net loved during his last moments, completing the sacred ceremony.
