To my dearest readers,
Since I am in college and is living in a hostel it is getting really difficult for me to write. There is no proper electricity, no laptop or computer to write or proper internet to upload the chapter (even now I am uploading it using paid internet who's hourly rate is no less than any gold.)
Since I don't want to hang the readers I am going to summarize the rest of the novel in this one chapter. If I am able to in future I will write the expanded form. Please forgive me for this, I… really am helpless right now.

Previous-
Ryan and Catherine go on a date and after a day of hustle he takes her to her father's office where they first met. He, to surprise her, keeps a massive gift box on the exact place where she crashed onto him six years ago.
Continue-
Catherine is moved to tears by his efforts and words. When she opens it she finds a beautiful blue off shoulder dress which she remembered to have drawn once when she was young and showed it to him. Seeing the dress of her fantasies she is overwhelmed, Ryan exits the room and allows her to change. While waiting he himself changes into a custom made black suit and when she finally exits, all shy and blushing, he is amazed by how beautiful she looked in that dress.
The couple hold hands and drive to a beach themed restaurant. Even though it was a popular dining place it was empty, Ryan reveals that he booked the whole restaurant for the two of them as Catherine is shy about eating in a crowded place.
The two enjoy their meal and Catherine wishes to take a walk on the beautiful street of Barcelona. It was already around night and thus there weren't a lot of people; the couple walked hand in hand when Catherine was reminiscing about their childhood.
Ryan professes his love for her and states his will to marry her and keep her like a queen. Catherine hugs him tightly and under that starry night they take away each other's first kiss.
Catherine parts her lips from his and smiles at him when suddenly someone strikes Ryan on his head from back. Catherine shivers and gets scared, she watches Ryan collapse on his knees in front of her. She tries to call him and get him back to his senses but alas, he could barely stand. That was when she saw an assassin standing with an iron weapon which he had used to hit Ryan.
Five other men come out of their hiding. The assassin hits Ryan again which makes him collapse completely, in his half senses he sees Catherine crying and begging him to wake up as they were approaching. He extends his arms to touch her but before he could she gets her hairs clutched and pulled away.
Ryan tries to stand up and fight but a single wounded man couldn't do much against four armed men. Before he was beaten away and thrown on the street till he got unconscious he saw them dragging Catherine away.
Ryan wakes up six months later after the incident in a hospital; he is told that he was in a vegetative state for the past six months and that… Catherine was raped and killed.
He refuses to believe it and runs away from the hospital, trying to search for her in his hospital attire. Since he was in coma his body was still drained of energy yet he refuses to give up and tries to spot her like a madman for one whole year. It was after he gave up he went to visit her at her resting place, offering white roses.
He then takes over the business and hunts down every assassin who was present that day avenging his dead beloved.
After that, with no purpose to live, Ryan drowned himself on alcohol and booze to survive her loss.
Jack narrates the whole thing to Bee who is left in tears. Jack also states that other than Catherine it was only Bee who he let close to him. She pledges to help Ryan out of his depression and starts being nice to him.
She stays with him all day and helps him out when he is sad. Ryan too treats her nicely, fulfilling all her wishes. The two stayed in the states for some time before they moved to Barcelona. Jule comes every now and then to visit the two and secretly threatens Bee to leave his side as being with him only brings death, giving Catherine as the example.
Bee unhears her and the two continue to bond. In the course of time Bee tells Ryan about the dream she had and what he used to do in those dreams but still he doesn't take them seriously and believes she was just being imaginative.
Then comes the day of Bee's birthday, Bee is given a dress for that day which she wears and comes out. For some reason she gives out Catherine's aura which worsens his mood and he starts boozing. He drinks a little too much and thus Bee escorts him to his bedroom.
Intoxicated by the alcohol Ryan loses his control and starts kissing Bee who is scared at first but then accepts it. Things get steamy between the two and he starts pulling her dress away before slowly laying her down and tenderly kissing her. When he is about to enter her she hisses in pain and asks what he was doing, he asks her to calm down but suddenly he whispers 'I know you are pure, Cathey. They were wrong about you. I love you. Please don't leave me.' in her ears which sends thunder down her spine.
She feels ashamed when she slowly reminds him that it was Bee and not Catherine. Ryan removes himself immediately off her and without even taking a second glance of her leaves the room. Bee feels both bitter and sad that the man she loved back only because he mistook her for someone else. She cries in solitude the whole night but comes out of the room as if nothing happened.
She notices Ryan keeping his distance from her. She confronts him and tells him that it was ok what happened between them and tells him not to feel guilty.
To make him feel better she offers to sing him a song she made herself. Ryan agrees but when she starts singing he realises that it was 'Over the moon for you' which he had written and used to sing for Catherine when she won't be able to sleep at night.
