Chapter 444 Odalys anxiously glanced at Percival , then at the womans figure , her heart feeling inexplicably agitated .
Despite the womans appearance being identical to her own , the moment she saw her call Percivals name , he seemed to be on the verge of letting go of Odalyss hand .
It was impossible to deny the pain she was feeling ÎÎ Odalys couldnt quite place what was troubling her , but she knew , as Percival loosened his grip on her , that it was as though her soud had left her body .
A suffocating weight pressed on her chest , unlike anything she lud ever experienced before .
And deep slown , she knew if Percival stepped forward and took that womans land , walking with her , his fate would be death But she could do nothing .
She could stop nothing : The abyss and the b bridge were both strange and unnerving , and in a sudden flash , a phrase appeared in her mind .
Bridge of Sighs Odalys was completely lost , torn by her inner turmoil .
But just as she was spiraling deeper into despair , a tight grip wrapped around her waist .
She looked up in confusion , only to be pulled into Percivals strong embrace .
She collapsed into his arms , feeling the comforting pressure of his protective hold .
Shes not you .
Percivals voice was rough , as if filled with a mixture of pam and clarity .
Percivals large , steady hand covered her ear , and he leaned down to meet her gaze .
In his eyes , she could see her own reflection .
The suffocating despair she had felt melted away , replaced by an unexpected sense of calm .
Percival ⦠The woman was still calling his name .
Odalys stared at the unwavering determination in Percivals eyes .
She was shocked by what she saw , but then heard him say .
Look .
Before she could respond , Percival gently turned her head t mans stature and elegance made her pause , her gaze Imnd the bridge .
She saw a tall figure striding confidently toward the woman .
The Her shock flared again as she took in Percivals handsome profile , realizing it was indeed him .
Whats happening ? Odalys murmured , her voice barely a whisper .
There , in front of her eyes , Percival , dressed in his military uniform , stood side by side with a woman herself in a red wedding gown .
They held hands and walked toward the other end of the bridge , never looking back .
The woman paused after a few steps , turning back to glance at Odalys , She smiled Boftly , a smile thuat seemed to reach deep into her soul .
The smile hit Odalys like a wave , and she felt her eyes sting with tears .
She reached up to wipe her face , only to realize she was crying She had always prided herself on having a hard heart , on never being easily moved .
Yet , here she was , helplessly weeping In a flurry of motion , Odalys wiped away her tears , and when she looked up again , the two figures had disappeared into the night .
Without thinking , she instinctively moved to follow them : She saw the woman suddenly lift her veil , her hand swiping it up .
The veil floated through the air , landing softly on Clalyss face , leaving behind a faint , familiar scent .
It was the fragrance Odalys loved , filling her nostrils .
She sneezed instinctively .
With the sneeze , the bridge ahead of her suddenly collapsed with a thunderous sound .
Before she could react , Percival was alreally there , catching her in his arms .
Everything went black .
Odalys , Mr.
Stewart , came Callans voice .
Odalys let out a muffled sound as she regained consciousness .
The illusion had vanished , and she found herself and Percival lying amidst the Tulle Callunt , with scratches on his arm , hurried toward them 12:04 PM Chapter 111 That was eerie .
It was exactly n midnight .
I thought 1 was seeing things , Callurn muttered Odalys , hearing him mention midnight , quickly pulled out her phone .
The screen showed exactly 12:00 AM .
She reached up to touch her face and realized the veil was still there .
The faint scent ling She saved us .
Odalys said with certainly , Percival looked at the veil in her hand , then met her clear gaze .
He hesitated for a moment , almost in disbelief , before reaching for the veil himself .
The image of him and Odalys , walking side by side , him in his military uniform and her in her wedding dress , flashed through his mind .
So , were they supposed to marry ? Had they been married in the 1920st The wedding dress seemed to suggest they had died before they could marry .
Odalys had mentioned someone wanted them bound together .
Could someone have used her to manipulate their fate , intending to steal her life ? The memory of Odalyss past life flashed in Percivals mind the one where she had jumped from the balcony of the Bennett family home .
He wouldnt allow her to die .
He couldnt let anyone take her from him .
Percival , were not just tied by one life .
In the 1920s , we had another life together .
Odalys grabbed Percivals arm .
She locked eyes with him .
Callum looked on completely confused, clearly unable to understand what they were talking about .
In the past life , when you jumped , we only just met .
What we saw just now , in the 1920s , was us in wedding clothes .
So in the 1920s , we were already married .
The fates were sealed , but something went wrong before we could be happy .
The image we saw must have been when we died before marriage , thats why we were still in our wedding clothes Percivals voice was deep and resolute .
So , were destined to be together .
In other words , we were always meant to be , but someone interfered .
Someone didnt want us together .
Maybe , if we did end up together , it would ruin someones plans .
So they calculated your astrological signs and tricked the Bennett family into abandoning you .
They originally wanted your life .
But then your master appeared and saved you , taking you away .
Edie married into the Stewart family , and everything seemed to go smoothly , but then you came back .
When you returned to the Bennett family, you were forced into marriage again , and thats how you and I met .
Because you didnt die , the situation turned around .
We ended up marrying , and now the Simpson family is panicking , sending Windsor and Quinton rushing back from abroad .
So , the Simpson family knows things we dont .
The Bennett family is in the dark about all of this .
They were probably being manipulated for some kind of profit , or for other reasons .
Since you Were ere born into the Bennett family , your fate can influence the Bennett Group , and thats why Edie wanted to marry Henry .
Percival was piecing the puzzle together , and as he spoke , it seemed to make more and more sense .
The Simpson family set up a place here to honor the Stewart family , and they trapped your father there to lure you in .
They wanted to trap you , but they didnt expect me to slip a talisman into your pocket .
I was led here by the talisman , ruining their plans .
And they didnt expect that the spirits of the honored plaques were guarding my astrological signs , which kept us from being trapped here .
