Standing beside the Sinclair heir was no easy task. Autumn felt the pressure suffocating her from every direction, like a thousand invisible hands pressing down on her chest. The crowd at the banquet was thick with ambitious faces, each one eager to get close to Keith Sinclair. And they all looked at her — the unknown girl standing beside the untouchable iceberg — as if she were a stain on his perfect world.
She needed an escape. An excuse. Anything to slip away before their stares burned holes right through her.
Keith’s dark, unreadable eyes settled on her face. His voice was low, almost curious. "You’re moving out tonight?"
Autumn nodded, a fragile smile touching her lips. "Yeah. Once the banquet’s over, I’ll be leaving the Carter house."
Just thinking about it made her heart feel lighter. The days ahead — free from Julian, free from the constant betrayal, free from the suffocating walls of that house — stretched before her like a wide, open sky. It had taken a month of quiet endurance, of swallowing pain and pretending not to see the knives being aimed at her back. But she had made it. The finish line was finally within reach.
It hadn’t been easy. But at last, it was over.
"Go on," Keith said simply, releasing her arm with a gentle finality.
As soon as Autumn stepped away, Lucas appeared out of nowhere, slinging a casual arm over Keith’s shoulder. A mischievous grin spread across his face. "That time you asked me to call my grandfather in for a consult at First Light Hospital — it was for that girl, wasn’t it?"
Keith said nothing.
Lucas pressed on, his curiosity impossible to contain. "She looks barely over twenty. How does someone that young end up with stomach cancer? And already at stage two?"
The question hung in the air. Lucas wasn’t just curious about her illness — he was desperate to understand the nature of their relationship. The way they interacted, the way Keith’s eyes followed her when he thought no one was looking — it definitely didn’t seem like they had just met.
So this guy had been hiding something all along.
If Lucas hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, he never would have believed it. The untouchable iceberg, Keith Sinclair, had actually fallen for someone. And that someone was a young woman battling cancer. If the Sinclair and White families found out about Autumn, it would spark a storm that no one could contain. After all, Keith had a fiancée — even if he had never acknowledged her. The engagement had been arranged long ago by both family patriarchs, and family alliances were not so easily changed.
Keith shot him a sideways glance, his voice cold. "You really have nothing better to do?"
Lucas rubbed his chin and smirked. "Nope, not at all. But fine, I’ll shut up."
One look from Keith — sharp and dangerous — was enough to make Lucas back off instantly. Alright, alright. If this guy didn’t want to talk, no amount of digging was going to get him to open up. Fine. He could only put away his nosy curiosity for now.
But then Keith surprised him. His gaze followed Autumn’s retreating figure, and his voice dropped into something almost soft. "She’s the niece of the man who saved my life."
Lucas blinked.
"Her uncle and mother have both passed away. And as for her two brothers — you saw for yourself how they treat her." Keith’s jaw tightened. "She’s seriously ill, yet not only do her own family refuse to help her, they go out of their way to step on her."
Lucas fell silent. He had seen the way those brothers looked at Autumn — like she was dirt beneath their shoes. It was cruel.
Keith continued, his voice quiet but firm. "That girl is stronger than I expected. After all the upheaval she’s gone through — the betrayal of the man beside her, then falling gravely ill — she can still face everything with optimism. That really is admirable."
Lucas was stunned. Not just by the story, but by the fact that Keith had spoken so many words in a single go. That guy was normally a man of very few words, practically allergic to talking. And now he was breaking that silence for her.
Lucas opened his mouth to respond, but Keith spoke again, pointing to a spot not far ahead. "That’s her husband — parading around with another woman. And those two brothers of hers? They’re helping the stepsister steal her husband."
Lucas was speechless.
God. For real?
Autumn had to be going through hell. Her husband cheating with her stepsister, while her own biological brothers played backup? What kind of nightmare was this? Anyone else in her shoes would have broken down completely — maybe even given up on life, or gone over there and caused a full-on scene.
But Autumn had held it together.
Her strength and restraint were honestly impressive.

As the chapter closes, we watch Autumn prepare to leave the Carter house behind forever — but the shadows of her past are long, and the road ahead is uncertain. Keith has revealed more of his concern for her than he ever has before, and Lucas now knows a secret that could shake the wealthy families to their core.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter was both heartbreaking and beautiful. It gave us a rare glimpse into Keith's protective nature, and the way he defended Autumn to Lucas showed a side of him we rarely see. The emotional weight of Autumn's situation — abandoned by family, betrayed by a husband, fighting cancer alone — was handled with sensitivity and depth. Lucas's shock mirrored our own, and the chapter left me feeling both sad for Autumn and hopeful for her future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Now that Autumn is officially moving out of the Carter house, I predict we'll see her trying to rebuild her life from scratch. But Julian and her stepsister won't let her go quietly — they're too invested in crushing her spirit. Meanwhile, Keith's growing attachment to Autumn will inevitably clash with his arranged engagement, and I have a feeling the White family will soon catch wind of this "mysterious girl" he's been protecting.
