Bound Hearts: My Vows to My Disabled Spouse

Last Round Of Competition

Elyse's cheeks warmed at Jayden's words, yet she remained doubtful about the previous night's events. Trying to piece together her memories, she said, "Was it really just a nightmare last night? Bute that man felt so real. I could feel his warmth when he touched me."

Jayden held her close, offering reassurance. "Could it be because I was holding you?"

"Really?" She looked at him, her expression uncertain. Was it all just a dream?

Jayden continued, "You know how secure our house is. It's impossible for a stranger to just

appear here." He gently persuaded her, trying to convince her it was all a dream.

"Today is your big day. Don't let a dream affect your performance," he advised.

Elyse nodded, taking his words to heart. She headed to the competition venue early that morning and noticed Darren and Grace were already there at the entrance.

"Morning. You both got here early," Elyse greeted them, holding her violin case, trying to sound nonchalant.

Grace rubbed her eyes and replied, "I couldn't sleep last night, I was too nervous. So I decided to come here early."

Darren's eyes were also red. He sighed and admitted, "I might be taking this more seriously than you. I couldn't even eat last night."

The three of them exchanged looks and sighed in unison.

The selection was crucial each was determined to give their best performance to impress Cody. Anxious, they headed to the concert hall where the selection was to be held, only to find that Vicky and Bart were already there. The arrival of their competitors charged the air with tension.

Silence fell over the group as they each tuned their violins, avoiding eye contact.

'A few minutes later, Merlin arrived with the assistant director, Abram Ellsworth, and Cody, followed

by several senior leaders and instructor, including Wanda.

Merlin surveyed the group with a solemn gaze, then turned to Abram and declared, "Since

everyone is here, let's begin." over

Abram nodded, his expression grave. "Start immediately. Let's not waste time."

The performances would proceed in the reverse order of the last ranking. Gary had withdrawn

from the selection, making Darren the first to perform.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Elyse watched Darren, her nerves tingling with hope that he wouldn't falter today.

Elyse caught the look of surprise on Merlin's face. He had not expected Darren to remain so composed and deliver a flawless performance under such pressure. After Darren concluded, the judges began their evaluations.

Cody folded his arms and looked on, his expression devoid of any disdain. Instead, there was a hint of pleasure in his gaze.

Darren's impressive performance had not gone unnoticed, and it put immense pressure on the other candidates. They knew they had to outperform him.

Next up were Bart and Grace, both in peak form. They executed their pieces flawlessly, their performances not only error-free but also particularly delightful to the audience.

When it was Elyse's turn, she stood center stage and took a deep breath. "Please enjoy Viva la Vida," she announced, choosing a piece known for its vibrant and skill-showcasing melody. The atmosphere, once tense like a battlefield, softened significantly, breathing life and beauty into the

hall.

The audience was completely captivated by her music.

As the last notes lingered in the air and the audience was still reflecting on her performance, Vicky stepped onto the stage. Her high heels clicked like those of a noble white swan, and her voice, devoid of emotion, announced, "Please enjoy Sergei Prokofiev's The Bells"

After Vicky's performance, all the candidates sat up straight, their faces etched with serious and anxious expressions.

They all wondered, was Cody impressed?

The tension was palpable as they awaited the judges' decision, which seemed to be deliberately

delayed, heightening the suspense.

Finally, the call came. "Vicky, Elyse, come out."

In that moment, Cody unexpectedly called out their names. Pointing to Elyse and Vicky, he

declared, "I want to see your leadership ability."

Elyse was taken aback, her eyes instinctively meeting Vicky's. Both showed clear signs of confusion at the sudden request.

The assistant director, Abram, was the quickest to respond. With a smile, he said, "Of course. I'l arrange it right now!"
