After the Fall A Leap into a Stranger's Arms

On the night of their engagement, Catherine was pushed into the sea by Shirley. Fully expecting her fiancé, Waldo, to rescue her without hesitation, she watched in stunned disbelief as he instead swam straight toward Shirley without even glancing back, leaving Catherine to struggle alone in the cold waves. Just as her strength was fading and she believed she would drown, a strong arm encircled her, pulling her to safety. Her rescuer was strikingly handsome. Gazing up at him, Catherine managed to ask, “Are you single?”Lawrence narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a nod.“Can I be your girlfriend?” she pressed. His reply was simple: “Yes.” Waldo, assuming Catherine had simply picked a random man out of spite, never imagined she would marry that stranger the very next day. He kept waiting for her to return to him—until, at a high‑profile technology summit, he discovered that the brilliant mind behind the revolutionary cloud‑computing platform was none other than Catherine herself. And as for Lawrence, his identity seemed to grow only more enigmatic with time.
