After He Faked His Death, She Unraveled Chapter 11
Just like I expected, the moment Elena found out, she went straight to confront Jasper. He didn't even bother denying it and admitted the whole thing.Furious, Elena threw everything she had into trying to destroy both Jasper and the Kane family. She seemed to forget that Sheridan Group was already hollowed out, nothing but an empty shell after everything Jasper had drained from it.She went a little unhinged trying to expose him, posting all over the internet about how she'd once kept him as her lover. All she got back was public mockery.[Girl's about to go bankrupt and she's still bragging about keeping our boy?][Who even are you? You should be grateful you got to ride his fame at all.][We're not even mad you used him. That's the least of it.]In the end, the Sheridan family lost everything. Her parents couldn't handle the collapse and took their own lives, leaving Elena completely alone, the last one standing to hold onto whatever was left of the company.Sometime during a

"We ended a long time ago. Stop lying to yourself."Once I got past that emotional ordeal, my career took off. In just one year, my company climbed into the top ranks in the country. I had recognition, success, wealth, and a reputation. None of it was as hollow as love had turned out to be. What I held in my hands now was something real.Zach, who stuck by me through all of it, couldn't stop marveling at how far we'd come.What surprised me even more was that Zach found a woman he truly loved. I watched him carefully court her, quietly asking around about what she liked and agonizing over every one of her social media posts trying to figure out if she liked him back.It reminded me of my own clumsy young love, once upon a time. I just laughed and shook my head. That kind of thing belonged to a different life.He ended up with her, the way it was always meant to be. The night before his wedding, we sat together having drinks, and he gave me some heartfelt advice."You should try f

I still went to visit Iris. Despite whatever else that happened, her kindness toward me had always been real.She pulled me close and looked me over from head to toe. "Let me get a good look at you. Have you lost weight?"I shook my head and smiled at her."I know you and Elena got divorced. I don't blame you for that. You deserve your own freedom, sweetheart. Don't let an old woman like me hold you back."She was still every bit as warm and gentle as she'd always been.On my way out of the hospital, I ran into Elena, who must have thought I finally changed my mind.She grabbed my hand, practically shaking with hope, her eyes filled with desperate pleading. "You still care about Grandma. That means you still care about me, right? You still love me, don't you?"I kept my expression cool and distant. "Ms. Sheridan, if you'd like to discuss a potential partnership, go through the formal channels. We're divorced now. Please keep your distance."She just stood there, frozen. After t

Elena's eyes shimmered with tears as she looked at me. "I finally found you. You wouldn't even answer my texts."I didn't feel a thing.I raised my glass toward her with exactly the right amount of polite distance on my face. "It's been a while, Ms. Sheridan."My coldness seemed to wound her.She bit her lip like she was holding something back. "Owen, you never used to be like this."As the head of a major company, of course she'd been able to find me. I'd only gone abroad, not off the grid. If she really wanted to reach me sooner, she could have. Maybe the only thing that had ever truly stir her heart was making sure Jasper was safe and sound."There's nothing going on between me and him. You know that. If you're done being angry, just come home," she said, reaching out and taking my hand.I pulled it out of her grip, icily saying, "Am I supposed to still worry about whether you're cold and offer you my jacket? Have you forgotten? We're already divorced."That seemed to strike

So, for three years, I stayed quiet and devoted myself entirely to carving out a place for Elena in the entertainment industry. With me in the industry, she gained plenty of connections, resources, and even dirt on her competitors along the way."Flight C5716 is now boarding..."The boarding announcement cut through my memories. It was time to go. The plane took off, and I watched the city that held way too much heartbreak shrink beneath me.A few months into living abroad, plenty of friends reached out, asking how I was doing. Word that a top actor like me suddenly quit the industry had caused a real stir, trending online for days.As the actual person involved, I honestly didn't care anymore. I ate whatever I wanted and went wherever I pleased.I took Zach around the country and hit every spot worth seeing, splurging on a luxury suite for weeks at a time. We encountered a few fans along the way, and photographs they had taken of me while I was sightseeing occasionally appeared

But neither of them ever explained anything. They just tore into each other with the sharpest words they had, ripping each other's wounds wide open without any mercy.As I hid in my room, that was the moment something inside me broke. Whatever I believed about love, it fell apart right there.The next day, they sat at the breakfast table together like nothing had happened. But I knew the truth. The affection I was seeing now was real, and so was the hatred from the night before. Love and the absence of it could apparently switch places in an instant, with no logic to any of it.I told Elena about all this once. She looked at me like her heart was breaking, wrapped her arms around my waist, and comforted me softly."Owen, I love you. We're going to be together forever. My love for you will never expire."When she said the word "forever", I believed her in that moment.Around New Year's, the whole city lit up with lights and every family gathered together. But I didn't have a famil
