Chapter 270
On the day of Zayn’s mystery lover’s burial, rain poured down from the wintry sky over Havenpoint.
Zayn personally carried the urn filled with his mystery lover’s ashes through the drizzle and set it down in
the casket.
He had placed a pearl comb inside her casket.
Word had it that he’d combed her wig with it before she was cremated, muttering, “You look beautiful, sweetheart. I’m lucky to be your husband.”
On that day, Zayn buried her as her husband while Kenan and Matthew were the pallbearers.
All the reporters in Havenpoint flocked to the burial site to learn about the woman’s identity and name, but the security at the funeral was airtight.
The reporters hovered around the vicinity, but they could not even pinpoint the exact location of the mystery woman’s burial plot
In the end, such rumors of a tragic tale were never confirmed.
Skyler had–held several press conferences to stop those rumors, insisting each time that the stories of that mystery woman were ridiculous and untrue.
She further explained that her engagement to Zayn had suddenly been canceled because she had fallen ill, and Zayn was worried about her health. She insisted the cancellation had nothing to do with some mystery woman who was Zayn’s alleged true love.
Skyler added that no engagement ceremony would make up for the last one. She and Zayn would have a wedding instead.
She wrapped up her statement by insisting that no one had come between her and Zayn and that they
were a true love match.

Skyler sounded so convincing at every press conference that her fans believed her every word.
After all, Skyler and Wilhelmina were the epitome of perfection. How could an unnamed woman possibly
charm and steal their men?
Only fools would believe such an absurd story.
However, a small part of the public believed that the mystery woman truly existed. Her identity was
simply too well–kept a secret. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.
A month later, Liam was scrolling through his phone at Carter Group when he stumbled upon something
that left him in a stupor.
Liam was a dedicated assistant who took his job seriously. He hadn’t meant to scroll through the day’s news during work hours, but he clicked on his browser app earlier out of boredom and was immediately greeted by a news article about Willow.

He felt like his mind had just imploded.
Even more shockingly, the news article was posted merely minutes ago..
A month ago, they had confirmed that the woman who tragically died in the fire at Bordello was Willow.
And yet, Willow was smiling up at Liam through the phone screen. She was pictured wearing a vintage- looking white dress and holding a perfume bottle.
Liam’s hand trembled. He might have believed evil spirits were playing tricks on him by hacking it if it
weren’t daytime.
He clicked on the news link and was redirected to a page with more pictures of Willow.
In each frame, Willow was holding a bottle of perfume. She looked so ethereal in the white dress that she might as well have been a fairy in an enchanted forest.
Liam’s eyes widened when he read the headline.
Willow had become an overnight sensation after pictures of her holding a bottle of perfume started trending online. She was now regaled as “The Nation’s First Love“.
Liam clutched his phone as a chill ran down his spine. He was trying to reconcile the news with the events from last month.
Zayn’s ex–wife had not died in a fire and had instead become an overnight sensation who was deemed The Nation’s First Love“.
Liam debated telling Zayn, whose grief made him lash out at his subordinates, about this shocking development.
