A Spring Beyond Reach Chapter 10
Ten days later, Callum and I were getting ready to head to Aresland, where Claire was based, to clear our heads and get away from everything.While we were waiting to board our flight, an anonymous message popped up on my phone.It turned out to be from Stella.The text messages she sent were flooded with raw, agonizing regret and self-loathing.I didn't even have the patience to read through most of it, skimming straight down to the final line.She was still pathetic enough to hold onto a sliver of hope for a reconciliation.[Spencer, I finally realize how unforgivably wrong I was. I deserve to die a thousand deaths.][I had no idea Lucian intentionally murdered our daughter, and I didn't know what kind of poison he was pumping into your veins to tear you apart... I’m so, so sorry.][Can you please just look back at me one last time? Give me a chance to make it up to you.]Those carefully chosen words, written with such desperate, agonizing caution.If I had been the person
A Spring Beyond Reach Chapter 9
With no other options left, Stella started reaching out to our mutual friends, begging for their help.Yet the looks they shot her way were filled with pure, unadulterated disgust, piercing her heart like shards of ice.Someone snapped at her, "Stella, you disgust me. Your own flesh and blood died, and you actually helped the killer walk free."No wonder Spencer left you. Honestly, the only thing that might actually make him happy at this point is seeing you drop dead."Humiliated and battered by the insults, Stella's face drained of all color. Having spent her entire life sitting comfortably at the top, she had never experienced this kind of public devastation.She fled the scene in an absolute mental collapse.The woman who always kept herself meticulously put-together looked like a hollowed-out ghost as if she had aged ten years overnight.Clutching the divorce certificate tightly, Stella muttered to herself in a daze, seemingly lost in her own delusions, "How could this happ

Stella, who had stayed silent from the start of the trial until now, finally spoke up. She looked at me, her expression a tangled mix of complex emotions."Spencer, I know you're upset, but everything has a limit. You’re taking this way too far."Her tone still carried that unconscious, condescending blame.I let out a cold, bitter laugh."Stella, save the high-and-mighty routine. Aren't you just confident because you think I don't have any real evidence?"Aren't you banking on the fact that the Andersons always win in the end?"Stella's expression flickered through several shades, telling me I had hit the nail right on the head.Having clawed her way up through the professional ladder for years, she genuinely believed she was untouchable enough to walk away clean.After all these years of marriage, I knew her just as well as she knew me.If I hadn't locked down ironclad, foolproof preparation, I wouldn't have subjected myself to looking at their sickening faces again.The

At eight o'clock in the evening.Stella returned home after a long, exhausting day at work.Pushing open the front door, the pitch-black, unfamiliar stillness inside caught her off guard.Instinctively, she flicked on the lights and walked through the rooms.That was when it finally hit her: today was already the third day.I hadn't come back once since breaking out of the psychiatric hospital.Standing in the dark, silent house, an unexplained panic began to gnaw at Stella's chest.Three days. Was I seriously still holding a grudge?Stella leaned back against the entryway wall, a rare flicker of disorientation washing over her.She opened the messaging app several times, hovering over my chat before closing it again, terrified of what she might see if I had sent a barrage of accusations and bitter attacks.In the end, she locked her phone screen.A strange, suffocating dread wrapped tightly around her. She rubbed her throbbing temples hard.Skipping dinner, she headed stra

The will to survive, which had all but faded, surged back to life.I forced my eyes open, meeting the mix of shock and heartbreaking relief in my best friend Callum Reid's eyes.When he saw me wake up, he sounded like a man who had just escaped death, his voice still trembling with fear."Thank God you held on long enough for me to get to you, man. You almost didn't make it..."It slowly came back to me. Right after I saw the hallucination of Evelyn standing by the door waving at me yet again, I had completely given up on living.I had wanted to end it all.Just as I was about to jump, I spotted Callum bursting through the side exit.As my mind cleared up and everything rushed back into focus, I broke down, sobbing uncontrollably.It was as if I needed to cry out every ounce of agony that had been crushing my soul.Once we both finally calmed down, Callum wiped away his tears."Spencer, don't lose hope. I brought in some backup for you. Trust me, as long as we don't back down
A Spring Beyond Reach Chapter 5
When Stella got the news, the coffee mug slipped straight from her hand and shattered violently against the floor.Scalding hot liquid splashed everywhere, burning a large patch of raw red skin across her legs, but she didn't even feel it.A blank, suffocating daze washed over her before she snapped back to reality like a violent reflex.Running over a dozen red lights, she drove like a maniac all the way to the scene.When Stella laid eyes on the charred, smoking ruins of what used to be the patient ward, her head rang with a deafening buzz. Her legs buckled beneath her as she stumbled hard from the sudden loss of strength.After sweeping her wide, terrified eyes across the cramped, fire-gutted room, she held her breath for what felt like an eternity before finally forcing a trembling whisper from her throat."Where is he? It doesn't matter if the ward burned down, I know Spencer was just pissed off... But where's Spencer?"The doctor lowered his head heavily."When the night
