Chapter 1109:
âMs. Clarke,â Fabian began as he studied the intricacies of the design. âFrom that pair of shoes, I can surmise that after understanding the symbolism of the black swan, you no longer liked it.â This was the detail he was more invested in.
âThen why,â he continued, âdid you design a pair of black ballet-style high heels today?â
The crowd stirred with curiosity. If Allison didnât like the black swanâs symbolism, then why make the design black? It seemed to contradict the narrative she had just presented.
Allison rested her hand on Kellanâs and explained, âBecause this pair of high heels means that I failed to stop it. The black swan still danced in my life. I had to face deception and betrayal in a past relationship.â
Her words carried no trace of bitterness or regret. Instead, they were filled with calm acceptance, as though she had made peace with the hardships she once endured.
âBut Iâm very grateful for it,â Allison continued. âIt took away my false and fruitless love. And it led me to find my true partner.â
As she spoke, fragments of her past surfaced in her mind. She recalled the countless lonely nights spent in the cold confines of the Stevens familyâs house, the ache of being hurt over and over again, and the numbness that had become her shield against the pain.

Now, she was no longer alone.
She didnât have to convince herself to believe in a hollow, one-sided love anymore. Because now, every time she turned around, Kellan was there. His arms were always open, ready to hold her tightly.
âAllison,â Kellan said softly, his voice conveying emotion as he looked into her eyes.
At that moment, they saw themselves reflected in each otherâs gaze.
âIâll always be by your side,â he promised.
âMe too,â Allison replied.
Allisonâs public acknowledgment of him in front of their friends had already filled Kellan with pride, and her words now set his heart racing.
She had said, âIt led me to find my true partner.â
The word âpartnerâ resonated deeply within him.
Kellan wanted to smile at her, but his eyes grew warm, betraying the depth of his feelings. Unable to contain himself, he leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to her lips â right there in public.
This was the most restraint he could manage.
Had they been anywhere else â at the Lloyd family estate, for instance â he knew that he wouldnât have been able to stop himself. He would have pulled her close and never let go.
