My Only Love: The Targeted Heiress

Vincent's mind was filled with the information he had just received during the trip. Does Chloe have a child? And Catherine is her daughter? This is so impossible. If indeed Chloe had a child, why did she hide it? And why did Chloe let her daughter leave her house?

Then what about Cathy's three sisters? Were the three of them also Chloe's children? It just made no sense. Chloe had died eighteen years ago while the twins were around sixteen years old. If Catherine is indeed Chloe's daughter, Anna and the twins are not Cathy's siblings.

In retrospect, apart from Cathy, Anna and the twins' hair did not have the distinctive features of most Paxton members. Anna has very light brown hair towards blonde while the twins' hair is blonde. Only Cathy inherited the reddish-brown hair, which was a hallmark of the Paxton family members.

He suspected Rinrin was Chloe's daughter from the information he got. In fact, this possibility could be accurate. Otherwise, why would Lest mention Rinrin earlier?

The next question was whether Catherine is the same little girl he met ages ago? No. He couldn't take it. He didn't want Catherine's identity to change to that of an heiress to the throne of Paxton.

But... why does the toddler's face in the photo look so much like Catherine's? Is it true that Catherine is Rinrin? Is it true that Catherine is the daughter Chloe was born to secretly? Catherine... Rinrin... why do the two names sound so connected?

Without realizing it, tears were flowing down his cheeks. Vincent honestly dreaded that he might find the answer he didn't want. Vincent felt he would fall into a bottomless pit if the woman he loved were the daughter of the source of his nightmares.

Why had he only now received this bad news? Had he known that Cathy was the true heir to Paxton's throne, Vincent would not have left his heart open to that girl.

No. Vincent was not even sure if he could close his heart because he was already in love with this angel-like charming girl.

At the moment, Vincent only hoped… he prayed so desperately that what he was looking for would be the answer he expected. He hoped that Cathy would not be Chloeny's daughter.

Vincent stopped the car in front of a very magnificent building with two high and sturdy gates.

For the first time in a long time, Vincent came to Eastern Wallace alone. He never came alone since the death of Chloeny for these past years. Either Greg accompanied him, or Benjamin invited him to come; Vincent never came alone.

It's not that he was afraid to be alone, but his family forbade him to enter this house alone, and he didn't know the reason.

After parking the car, Vincent walked toward the gate with two lions facing each other at each door. Mighty and frightening lions. The two lions were symbols of Paxton's secret organization. Lion Stealth, which aka LS.

At first, he did not know that an LS organization was protecting the Paxton heir in secret. He frequently visited Chloe's residence without knowing that Eastern Wallace was one of the LS organization headquarters.

If only he could reverse the time, his seven-year-old self would have chosen not to come to Eastern Wallace. He definitely wouldn't approach Chloe nor adored and cherished her.

Vicent would choose not to have anything to do with Chloeny, who turned him into someone who was not himself. He became full of alert, distant, and also... suspicious of strangers easily.

He truly wished he could experience the maturation process like any teenager would and not with hatred and guilt. However, there is no such thing as a time machine in this world.

Time would never turn back, and the dead would not come back to life. He would not be able to go back to choose another path. He could only face it and keep moving forward.

The gate opened, and someone let Vincent walk through the gate. Eastern Wallace did not have a master but was guarded by several servants who were still faithfully awaiting the new owner's arrival.

This fake reasoning about awaiting the new master's arrival made Vincent scorned in distaste. He knew that was not the real reason why this place was guarded tightly by LS.

Even though this place had no masters, it was still the LS headquarters. Of course, they wouldn't let their base be destroyed.

He also knew that the first lady's death's anniversary was just a formality. Martin Paxton was trying to find a secret door in Eastern Wallace that Lest had now closed.

Why did Martin organize this commemoration event? That's because not just anyone could enter through Eastern Wallace's main gate. Even James and Martin, who were seniors at Paxton, were not allowed to enter without permission. Only a few are allowed to enter this place freely in this world, including Vincent, Benjamin, and Gregorius.

If someone violated and forced themselves in, there would be consequences like a broken bone or a business wreck. Vincent had never seen it, but he was sure it wasn't just a rumor as no one dared to enter the Eastern Wallace region.

The entrance of all kinds was strictly guarded. That's why the only chance to investigate Eastern Wallace was the anniversary of the first lady's death. The main gate of Eastern Wallace only opened wide once a year on that very day.

Of course, Martin always failed in his searches. Even Vincent himself did not remember the way to LS's secret room as he had amnesia slightly when that accident happened.

Vincent stopped and turned to look at the gate, which was now slowly closing. He remembered he hid behind the gate the first time he met Chloe.

For some reason, now his memories flow as if he was taken to the past... a time where he still had a pure heart, innocent, and never knew the meaning of adversity and hatred.

In the past, every time his memories appeared, Vincent fought it and tried to get rid of those memories from his mind.. But now, he let those memories flowed like a river in his mind.
