The mention of Autumn snapped Zachary back to reality. He couldn\u2019t throw away his future over Kristen. He needed to keep it together if he wanted any chance of winning Autumn back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But he wasn\u2019t about to let the Reeves family or Kristen off the hook either.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary went on a complete rampage. He had Kristen committed to a psychiatric hospital as her legal husband and made sure she suffered there. At the same time, he ruthlessly went after the Reeves family\u2019s business.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Reeves family had only forced Zachary to marry Kristen in the first place because they were drowning in debt and desperately needed the Hayes family\u2019s financial support.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Now that the Hayes family had pulled their investment, the Reeves family quickly spiraled into crisis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Logan and Vanessa found out that Kristen had pissed off Zachary, they stopped caring about her and frantically tried to contact Autumn, the daughter they had abandoned.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile in Southcrest, Autumn had no idea any of this was happening.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Getting back into dance turned out to be harder than she had imagined, and she threw herself completely into practice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Every morning before sunrise, she was already in the studio working on her flexibility and leg stretches, repeating the same boring basic exercises over and over.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her practice clothes were constantly drenched in sweat, but she never felt tired. Every spin and leap made her feel like she was touching a dream she had lost a long time ago.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Two months later, Rebecca burst into the studio practically bouncing with excitement. \u201cAutumn, Samantha Jensen saw your dance videos and wants to take you on as a student!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn froze, and then her face lit\u00a0<\/p>\n
up\u00a0<\/p>\n
with pure joy. \u201cAre you serious?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Samantha was one of the top classical dance masters in the country, and training under her would take Autumn\u2019s skills to a whole new level.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m dead serious!\u201d Rebecca waved a letter around. \u201cLook, she personally invited you to join her dance company.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn grabbed the invitation and her whole body started shaking with emotion. She had dreamed about joining this company for years, but she never thought it would actually happen\u00a0<\/p>\n

Rebecca glanced behind Autumn and winked. \u201cYou better thank this guy properly. If he hadn\u2019t worked his ass off to get in touch with Samantha, your dance videos never would\u2019ve gotten in front of her so fast.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Rebecca gave Autumn a playful shove right into Damon\u2019s arms. \u201cAutumn, don\u2019t you think life\u2019s better when you\u2019ve got both a great career and a great relationship? What do you think?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn looked down shyly but didn\u2019t say anything. Ever since she\u2019d agreed to give Damon a chance, things had been moving forward between them thanks to his constant efforts and Rebecca\u2019s subtle matchmaking.\u00a0<\/p>\n
They\u2019d definitely crossed the line from just friends, but they hadn\u2019t quite reached the point of being a real couple yet.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon steadied Autumn gently. \u201cDon\u2019t listen to Rebecca. If you\u2019re not ready to say yes, it just means I haven\u2019t done enough yet. I\u2019ll keep working on it until you\u2019re happy to be with me.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Maybe it was the warmth in his eyes, or maybe it was just the beautiful moonlight that night, but something shifted inside Autumn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She smiled and said, \u201cDamon, I think Rebecca\u2019s right. Life really is better when you have both your career and your love life figured out. So\u2026 would you be my boyfriend?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon\u2019s face lit up instantly and he pulled her into a hug. \u201cYes! God, yes!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the time Zachary finally wrapped up all his business and tried to win Autumn back, his assistant delivered some shocking news. Autumn was getting engaged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zachary stared at the photos his assistant handed him. They showed Autumn and Damon kissing, looking completely in love.\u00a0<\/p>\n
His chest tightened painfully. How was this possible? How could Autumn be engaged to someone else? She\u2019d promised she would wait for him and never fall for anyone else.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Of course, Zachary conveniently forgot that Autumn had never actually promised him anything. He told his assistant to book the earliest flight to Southcrest. He was going to bring\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn back himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, at the psychiatric hospital, two nurses were chatting during their break. \u201cDid you see today\u2019s trending news? That girl Autumn is amazing.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI know, right? She\u2019s gorgeous, an incredible dancer, and her fianc\u00e9 looks like a movie star. I\u2019m so jealous.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI heard she\u2019s the younger sister of that patient in there. How can two sisters have such different lives?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWho knows?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kristen listened to their conversation, her eyes filled with hatred.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zachary had locked her up in this place and paid off the staff to abuse her. Over the past few months, they\u2019d beaten her so badly that she didn\u2019t have a single unmarked spot left on her body.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Why did Autumn get to be so happy when she was suffering like this? It wasn\u2019t fair.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAutumn, you deserve to die! Zachary, you too! Both of you should just die!\u201d she yelled, her voice hoarse.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her screaming caught the attention of the orderly. \u201cShut up, or we\u2019ll beat the shit out of you!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Kristen spotted a lighter on the table and pretended to calm down. She waited quietly for nightfall.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When everything went quiet that night, Kristen set the bedsheets and curtains on fire. The moment the orderlies rushed in to check on the situation, she smashed them over the head with a water pitcher and escaped.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAutumn, Zachary, I\u2019ll make you both pay for this!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The day before the engagement party, Logan and Vanessa tracked Autumn down after seeing the news trending online.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAutumn, please, you have to save Kristen. Zachary locked her up somewhere\u2026\u201d Vanessa started, but Logan shoved her aside before she could finish.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cAutumn, don\u2019t listen to your mother! Save the Reeves Group first. I know your fianc\u00e9\u2019s family has just as much money as the Hayes family. With his help, we can get back on our feet for\u00a0<\/p>\n
sure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn had known this day would come ever since her dance troupe\u2019s debut accidentally went viral. She just hadn\u2019t expected the Reeves family to be facing bankruptcy so soon, or that Kristen and Zachary would have a falling out.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She looked at her begging parents and stuck to what she\u2019d told them before. \u201cMr. and Mrs. Reeves, we legally severed our relationship, remember? Other than the monthly support payments, we have nothing to discuss.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Logan panicked. \u201cAutumn, you\u2019re all alone right now. Aren\u2019t you worried that one day you\u2019ll get old and lose your looks, and your husband will kick you out with nowhere to go? If the Reeves family is still around, you\u2019ll always have a place to come back to, won\u2019t you?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s never going to happen.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon cut Logan off without any politeness and ordered his security team to restrain them both. \u201cIf you cooperate, I\u2019ll make sure you\u2019re taken care of even after the Reeves family goes under. But if you try anything stupid, I\u2019ll make you regret it.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He put his arm around Autumn and led her away.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the drive back, Damon glanced at Autumn, who looked completely unfazed by everything. He couldn\u2019t help asking, \u201cAutumn, aren\u2019t you worried about what they said back there?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Autumn laughed softly, \u201cWhat\u2019s there to worry about? Elowen gave me enough in the divorce settlement to support myself, and I can always make money from dancing. Besides, didn\u2019t you say you had something to give me too?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Damon\u2019s face showed a rare flash of annoyance. \u201cGod, Rebecca\u2019s such a blabbermouth. Why does she have to tell everyone everything? I wanted this to be a surprise for the engagement\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
He pulled out the signed property transfer agreement and handed it to Autumn. \u201cAutumn, this is my promise to you, my guarantee.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
