Chapter 249: Epilogue
Eighteen years later at the Blue Lagoon Hotel ...
A young woman wearing an off-shoulder blood-red ball gown was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror in the lounge of the biggest banquet hall in the hotel. A pear-shaped ruby pendant encased with eighteen tiny diamonds and suspended on a silver chain nestled just above her cleavage.
Her waist-length hair was gathered and braided to one side and adorned with small flowers made of silver.
Erika sighed. The woman in the mirror was very lovely. She inherited her mother’s hazel eyes and pair of shallow dimples.
Her neat eyebrows that perfectly arched over her eyes were from her father. Her eyelashes were long and curled at the tip.
As Erika studied her reflection, her life from what she remembered flashed before her eyes like scenes in a movie.
She has a perfect family. Her father adored her mother and never had a scandal. He was one of the wealthiest and most influential business tycoons in the capital. Her mother was the CEO of the famous brand CoChi.
Her maternal uncles and cousins doted on her even if the number of times they saw each other in a year could be counted on two hands.
For her eighteenth birthday, she inherited the island that her great-grandfather purchased for her grandmother. Her uncles Mu Feng and Mu Chen gifted her a BMW.
Her life was so perfect and yet she felt hollow inside. She realized that she had everything but she owned nothing.
When she was a toddler, her parents were overprotective of her to the point that they would smoothen all the rough edges and cushion the places that she would set her feet on.
