Chapter 656
The brain's expression showed he had weighed the competing priorities and reached a conclusion about what needed to take precedence.“We cannot allow our professional obligations to interfere with our personal commitments, especially when your grandfather has made it clear that delays will only increase his suspicions about our sincerity.”His voice carried conviction as he addressed the core issue. “And just like what your grandfather has said about requiring proof of our commitment, I am genuinely willing to provide that proof, I am willing to get married to you exactly one week from now, regardless of whatever inconveniences or complications that might create for our other responsibilities.”The brain's tone became more personal as he directly addressed Serenity's apparent confusion about his willingness to proceed. “I want to prove conclusively that yes, I literally love you deeply and authentically, that I genuinely want to settle down with you permanently, and that all of this

At that moment, recognizing that her grandfather's ultimatum had created an impossible situation but desperately hoping that she could negotiate some kind of reasonable compromise that would allow them to maintain their deception while also meeting their actual professional obligations, Serenity continued her attempt to find middle ground between his demands and their practical realities.“Grandfather, please listen to what I'm trying to explain to you about our willingness to proceed,” she said with the tone of someone trying to balance respect for family authority with urgent practical concerns. “Yes, we absolutely would be willing to get married and we would literally proceed with all the wedding arrangements and legal commitments you're requiring from us.”Her voice carried both acceptance of his ultimate demands and desperate hope for reasonable accommodation of timing. “We're not trying to avoid or escape the marriage itself - we understand that you need concrete proof of our
Chapter 654
At that moment, recognizing that the only way to save herself and the brain from this impossible situation was to abandon the deception entirely and confess the truth about their fabricated relationship before they were legally bound to maintain it for fifteen years, Serenity made the decision that honesty, however painful and embarrassing, was preferable to the catastrophic consequences they were facing.She knew with certainty that there was absolutely no way the brain would be willing to tie himself down to her in a legally binding marriage for fifteen years to come, especially when their relationship was not the genuine, deep romantic commitment they had been claiming it was.That level of sacrifice and commitment was simply not going to be possible or reasonable to expect from someone who had only agreed to help her escape her arranged marriage, not to completely restructure his entire life and future around maintaining a deception that could destroy both of their careers.And sh

His voice carried the weight of inevitable consequences. “And the military will treat that kind of deception very seriously, because it demonstrates exactly the kind of dishonesty and lack of integrity that makes someone unfit for continued service, especially in positions involving access to sensitive information and strategic decision-making.”Serenity's grandfather's expression became grimly satisfied as he outlined the comprehensive nature of the penalties. “So this is exactly what I want to happen if either of you decides to divorce during the fifteen-year period - you are going to have all of your military titles, ranks, clearances, benefits, and anything else that has to do with your military background permanently stripped away as consequences for demonstrating that you're not trustworthy enough to serve.”His tone became more immediate and demanding as he shifted from explaining consequences to requiring immediate decisions. “This is the choice I'm presenting to both of yo
Chapter 652
At that moment, upon hearing Serenity's grandfather deliver what amounted to an ultimatum about marriage within exactly one week, both Serenity and the brain found themselves literally looking at each other with expressions of complete shock and disbelief, their eyes wide with the kind of surprise that comes from having a situation spiral far beyond anything they could have anticipated or prepared for.They were utterly surprised by this sudden and dramatic development that had emerged from what they had thought would be a simple conversation about explaining away the arranged marriage with Damien. Neither of them had expected that successfully convincing her grandfather about their relationship would immediately lead to such concrete and immediate demands about formalizing that relationship through marriage.The brain's expression showed he was rapidly trying to process the implications of what had just been demanded of them, while Serenity looked as though she was struggling to unde

Serenity's tone became more passionate as she began advocating for the brain's worthiness and suitability as a partner and potential family member. “But I need you to understand that the brain is genuinely a very respectable person with extraordinary influence and authority within the highest levels of military command.”Her voice carried pride and conviction as she outlined his qualifications. “He's highly influential in ways that extend far beyond normal military ranking - his position and access to the Supreme King himself means that his authority and respect within strategic circles is absolutely exceptional.”She met her grandfather's eyes with confidence about her choice. “And you should know better than anyone that I don't settle for less than excellence in any area of my life, whether professional or personal, and I will never settle for someone who doesn't meet the highest standards of capability and character.”Serenity's expression showed complete conviction about her as
