---- Chapter 24 They soon made arrangements for Nadia to move into Theodore's place. She also found the time to explain to him about what happened between her and Caesar. Pain filled his gaze when she spoke about the grievances she had to endure for the past 10 years. "T'm sorry, Nadia. It's because I failed to protect you that they had the chance to hurt you. I'll stay by your side from now on, and I'll make sure they never get the chance to hurt you anymore," Theodore said.
He was almost bursting with jealousy when Nadia mentioned how she almost had a wedding twice with Caesar. However , he started chuckling upon further consideration . "It's okay. One wedding between us is worth a thousand with anyone else. I'm still your beloved husband anyway-" Theodore eventually hugged her and spoke sadly, "In the past, I've always wanted you to live a long life, Nadia. But after hearing what you've told me, I've suddenly changed my mind.
I'm not afraid of dying, but I can't bear the thought of you suffering. "As such, I'll do my best to live a long life. At least, I'll try not to die before you. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to protect you, and I wouldn't know if you got bullied, and I wouldn't be able to stand up for you-"" ---- As the days passed, the wedding preparations continued. Everything was well-arranged. The wedding day soon arrived.

Although it couldn't be compared to the luxurious wedding Caesar had prepared for Nadia, everything had been overseen by her. She handpicked everything she loved-from the venue decorations to the wedding dress and bouquet. Nadia walked arm in arm with Theodore, telling him" Yes, I do," amidst the cheers of the guests. They then exchanged rings and kissed in the shower of falling petals.
This was the third time she had put on a wedding dress to attend a wedding, yet this was her first time marrying the person she wanted to marry the most. With her back to the guests, Nadia tossed the bouquet toward the bridesmaids that gathered under the stage. As she heard their cheers, she exchanged a smile with Theodore. Below the stage, Caesar hid in a corner as he watched her smile in a way she had never smiled at him before.
He suppressed his bitterness and muttered , "I wish you happiness, Nadia." He quietly bid Nadia goodbye before turning to walk out of the hotel. He got into the car and headed ---- toward the villa which had once held her captive. (Target has married someone else -you have failed your mission . The erasure penalty will be imposed within 24 hours.] The mechanical voice echoed in Caesar's ear as the glowing orb reappeared. "You only have 24 hours left, Caesar.
Whatever you want to do, do it quickly. You'll be totally annihilated under the system's erasure. There will never be another Caesar Gray in any of the worlds from now on." He shook his head and opened the door, heading straight to the bed. The metal chain by the foot of the bed was still left there. Caesar picked it up and bound his own wrist. He spoke softly. Even the system had a hard time hearing him." Ihave nothing else that I want to do.
Say, System, what would happen if I tried to kill myself now?" "You won't die before your penalty has been imposed, but your other senses-like pain-wouldn't disappear . Wait -what are you doing, Caesar?" The system cried out as Caesar reached out for the dagger by the side. He then sliced his wrist open. He could feel his blood gradually draining out of his body. His vision was slowly fading. However , as the system was present, he did not die.
Yet, the despair he felt on the brink of death never left him. ---- Blood trickled from his wrist to the floor , gradually dyeing the solid-colored floor red. As time passed, memories began to flash before Caesar's eyes. He vaguely felt as if he had returned to the time when he first met Nadia. He wondered if they could start all over again. Their ending would've been different if only he had treated her better.
