Chapter 513
Chapter 513:
Darwin’s face tightened with concern the moment he saw Kylo holding Dayna hostage.
“Step back, all of you!” snapped Kylo with growing irritation.
Darwin lifted his hand, signaling his team to retreat.
Using Dayna as a shield, Kylo forced Darwin to open a way through. The getaway car was already waiting. Kylo, flushed with confidence, dragged Dayna toward it.
The door had barely swung open when Dayna wrenched herself free of Kylo’s grasp.
“You bitch! How dare you defy me p>
Dayna darted a step away and called out, “Darwin, don’t worry about me. I p>
Her words were cut short when a searing pain struck her chest. With merciless precision, Kylo had driven a dagger straight into her heart.
As she collapsed, Darwin’s restraint vanished. He charged forward, leading his men against Kylo.
“Get the ambulance now p>

In Darwin’s arms, Dayna felt her strength slipping away with each breath.
“What’s got your attention p>
Noticing Amelia’s gaze fixed outside the car window, Wyatt followed her line of sight and saw only a police car speeding away.
Hearing Wyatt’s question, Amelia only smiled. “Nothing p>
The traffic light flicked to green, and Barrie pressed down on the accelerator. After thirty minutes of steady driving, the car rolled to a stop in front of a boutique. It was the most renowned styling house in Kretol, known for crafting the looks of countless stars.
On this day, the entire place was booked for Amelia.
“Mr. and Mrs. Stewart, your wedding dress and suits have just arrived by air. Please come with me p>
The words came from Babette Carrillo, the boutique’s owner, a woman with a sleek bob and a fashionable style. She personally welcomed the couple as they stepped out of the car and guided them toward the second floor.
Once inside the spacious hall, Amelia’s eyes immediately settled on the wedding gown displayed in the center. The gown shimmered in silver-gray silk, its skirt layered twelve times, each hem adorned with tiny diamonds. The diamonds sparkled against the silk, giving the gown an aura of rare elegance.
Yet, more striking than the gown itself was the tiara resting beside the veil. For reasons she couldn’t explain, Amelia felt as though she had seen that tiara before.
“Mrs. Stewart, this gown was crafted to match your exact measurements. Please try it on, and if any adjustments are needed, I’ll have the designer fix it at once,” said Babette, gently lifting the gown from the rack.
“Thank you.” Amelia gave Babette a warm smile before following her into the fitting room.
“You really crossed the line, Wyatt. Why didn’t you tell us Amelia would be trying on her wedding dress today p>
The sharp remark came just as Amelia stepped inside. At the far end of the second floor, Weldon, Shepard, and several others walked over.
Wyatt had hoped to be the very first to see Amelia in the gown, which was why he’d kept it a secret. Yet despite his efforts, Shepard and the others had still managed to find out about the matter and come over.
Alongside the Chadwick family members, Carlee, Nora, and Kelsey had also shown up. Wyatt soon realized that Amelia had told them about this.
Carlee and Nora had been chosen as bridesmaids, and when Babette casually mentioned that their dresses had arrived as well, Amelia had texted them, telling them about the news.
While the group settled in and chatted, the fitting room curtain began to glide open.
The faint rustle drew every pair of eyes in the hall toward the sound. Amelia then emerged wearing the gown, and the room fell into awe.
Wyatt especially could not stop himself from holding his breath.
Amelia had already caught her own striking reflection in the fitting room mirror, but Wyatt’s stunned expression filled her with quiet delight. Holding up the hem, Amelia took graceful steps in Wyatt’s direction. She then gave a playful twirl in front of him, tilting her head as she asked, “How do I look p>
“You look breathtaking p>
At that moment, nothing else existed in Wyatt’s eyes except Amelia.
“Mrs. Stewart, why don’t we see how the tiara suits you now?” suggested Babette with a bright smile.
Amelia stepped toward the mirror at her words. Just as Babette reached to set the tiara on Amelia’s head, another hand extended and stopped her. Recognizing Wyatt’s intention, Babette wore a knowing smile and passed the tiara to him.
Amelia studied her reflection and suddenly recognized the tiara. She had seen it in a collection that belonged to royalty. The moment the tiara settled on Amelia’s head, she immediately sensed its heavy presence.
“This tiara… I’m really getting envious p>
Carlee’s words made Amelia glance at her through the mirror, while Carlee’s eyes shone with happy tears.
Sanford slipped an arm around Carlee’s shoulders and whispered with a grin, “When it’s our turn, I’ll make sure you have one just as beautiful p>
“Don’t fool me, Sanford. That tiara is one of a kind. You’ll never find another like it,” Carlee said.
