After Eighteen Broken Promises Chapter 10
But I didn't care at all. I poured all my energy into expanding the medical project's territory.Starting from Paris, my network spread like a spider's web to London, Berlin, Zurich.I was no longer the shadow who balanced books for others. I'd become the judge on this chain of interests.In the third year, the project expanded back to New York.When I landed at JFK, the sunlight was blinding. I took off my sunglasses and looked at the skyline I hadn't seen in so long.My best friend Sophia leaned against a red Ferrari, waving hard at me.After I got in the car, Sophia hit the gas.The car was going fast. She kept stealing glances at me in the rearview mirror."Just say it." I leaned back in the seat with my eyes closed."Dominic's dead."I opened my eyes. My gaze swept over the rapidly receding street scene outside. Inside, I felt perfectly calm. Not a ripple."Two years ago, he was ambushed on his way back to New York from Paris." Sophia's voice mixed with the engine noise. "They pla

Looking at those sunflower heads blooming brilliantly in the sunlight, I felt a moment of softness.This kind of bright life, free from the stench of blood—it was what I'd dreamed of having.But I still shook my head and declined gently. "Sorry, I just want to live for myself now. I don't want to enter any relationship."Before the French man could respond, Dominic suddenly burst out from the shadows on the side.He'd clearly been waiting there for a long time. He looked disheveled and volatile. Those eyes that used to be so cold were now bloodshot and frightening.He shoved the French man aside roughly, his hand already on the gun at his waist, a low growl forcing its way out of his throat."Get lost! She's my wife! Who gave you permission to touch her?"The French man jumped back, startled. I was disgusted by this sudden circus act.Without expression, I reached out and pushed Dominic away. Hard enough to make him stagger back two steps."Dominic, are you ever going to stop?" I looke
After Eighteen Broken Promises Chapter 8
That night, I stood by the massive floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of wine, overlooking the Seine at night.The streetlights below glowed yellow. I saw Dominic curled up in the shadows at the corner, like an abandoned stone statue.The rain tore violently at his expensive tailored suit. But he seemed oblivious. He just stared motionlessly at my window with its warm light.He stood in the rain like that all night. Let the cold eat away at him.I watched that once all-powerful figure blur in the rain. I felt nothing. If anything, I found it ironic.For eight years, I'd waited for him countless times on New York streets late at night. Waited for him to leave Mia's apartment. Waited for him to leave those noisy drinking parties.Back then, the rain was so much colder than this.Without expression, I reached out and pulled the heavy curtains completely shut.Dominic. Paris rain is cold. That's eight years you owe me.Suffer through it slowly. For the rest of this life, I'll never look
After Eighteen Broken Promises Chapter 7
The next evening, Paris got a light rain.I wore a dark coat, carrying a fresh baguette and a bottle of Bordeaux I'd picked up from the corner store, walking slowly back to my apartment.I entered the apartment lobby and pressed the elevator button. Just as the doors were about to close, a hand shot out and stopped the sensor.Dominic appeared.His expensive custom suit was half-soaked from the rain. His usually immaculate hair hung messily over his forehead. When he saw me, that usual arrogance in his eyes completely shattered. What replaced it was something close to desperate, humble begging.He clutched that signed registration form in his hand, his voice hoarse. "Elena... I signed it. I'll take you to City Hall right now."I glanced down. On that registration form that was three years late, his signature was wild and messy, pressed so hard it nearly tore through the paper.This worthless piece of paper. I'd waited over a thousand days and nights for it. Waited until my heart went c
After Eighteen Broken Promises Chapter 6
Dominic sat in the leather seat of his private jet. The cabin was deathly silent except for the low rumble of the engines.He clutched a stack of crumpled documents. His knuckles were white from gripping so hard.They were the registration forms from City Hall. And a property transfer memo the lawyers had drafted overnight.He pulled out his fountain pen and wrote his name in the signature box he'd left blank for three whole years. He pressed down so hard he nearly tore through the paper. The sound of the pen scratching across the page was especially harsh in the quiet cabin.He should've written these three characters three years ago at St. Patrick's Cathedral. But he'd dragged it out for seventeen times because of the so-called "bigger picture" and "training the new recruit."This stroke felt like he was nailing three years of debt into the paper. But the other half of the page was empty. Just blank space where Elena's signature should've been."Faster." Dominic didn't look up. His v
After Eighteen Broken Promises Chapter 5
Dominic sat in the darkness for a long time.His palm had been cut open. The blood had dried and darkened, stuck to the edges of the shattered frame. Something seemed to occur to him. He stumbled into the bedroom and yanked open my closet.The closet was mostly empty. What remained felt like silent slaps, one after another, hitting him in the face.Jewelry boxes were carelessly thrown into the compartments.With trembling hands, he opened them. Inside lay three identical Gucci necklaces. Even the ribbon on the packaging hadn't been unwrapped.Those were the "compensation" gifts he'd casually bought after standing me up for Mia over the past three years.He didn't even remember he'd given me duplicates.The clothes left in the closet were almost all cheap, plain dresses and flats, many of them duplicates too.Images suddenly flashed through Dominic's mind—all the gifts he'd given Mia. Custom Hermès bracelets. Patek Philippe diamond watches. Handmade bulletproof evening gowns airlifted f
