Jacob clamped his jaw shut and refused to speak.Justin narrowed his eyes. โYou donโt have to talk,โ he said coldly. โAll I have to do is send this in for testing. If it turns out to be lethalโthen congratulations. Youโre looking at attempted murder.โHe glanced at the clock on the nightstand, estimating Haley would be back any minute. He was about to call for the guards to take Jacob away whenโJacob suddenly let out a low, hateful growl. โYou think youโve won, donโt you, Justin?โWell, you havenโt. Youโve lost completely.โYou really think Emmaโs first time was with you?โ Jacob sneered, his face contorted with spite. โIt was with me. On that hotel bed at the Mandale Hotelโright next to you!โWe did it with you lying there passed out! You thought you were the one who slept with her? Noโit was me!โAnd not just that night. Every night after, too. I slept with her again and again. Your precious angel? Sheโs been used up and ruined by me!โAnd that baby you thought was yours?

At last, Justin found Haley in the hospitalโs back garden.She sat alone on a wooden bench, the autumn wind lifting strands of her hair as she tilted her head toward the starry night sky. Her eyes were vacant and hollow.โSisโฆโ Justin bent over, hands on his knees, panting hard. โWhy are you sitting out here? Itโs chilly at night. Come on, letโs go back. Dinnerโs waiting, and Iโm starving.โHe didnโt know if she had overheard his conversation with Jacob. He had no idea how much she had heard.So all he could do nowโฆ was pretend nothing had happened."Was it fun lying to me, Justin Yates?" Her voice was dry and lifeless.The last time she found out she had only been a stand-in love, it had happened right hereโat Lichfield Hospital, in the same garden, under a sky just like this one.The wind had been just as sharp, just as cold, cutting straight to the bone.It felt like being sliced open again and again, each cut peeling away more of her flesh, until there was nothing left but

โJustin, let go! None of this matters anymore.โIt didn't matter?How could it not matter?This was about his innocence. Of course it mattered. It was everything.โI donโt love you anymore. Just let go.โ Her voice was calm. Her whole demeanor was terrifyingly calm.Justin froze where he crouched.She didnโt love him anymore?How could that be?She used to love him more than anything!She had confronted him outside the hospital room, using the promise of marriage to force him to go home with her.Sheโd chased him all the way into his motherโs birthday banquet, getting in with Seanโs help just to find him.She gave birth to his children.She even brought the kids with her to his motherโs funeral.And there were those three years they spent togetherโwhatever he wanted, she did everything she could to give it to him.If that was not love, then what was?That was love!So why? Why didnโt she love him anymore? How could she stop?Wasnโt love supposed to last forever? Wasnโt

Soon, the rest of the Walker family also noticed what was happening outside.Alex opened the door and ran out on his little legs. โUncle Justin! Youโre back! Why didnโt you come inside? I heard you got your memory back. Congratulations!โHe meant it sincerely, then added cheerfully, โSoโฆ did you win Mommy back?โBut seeing that Uncle Justin looked down and didnโt respond, Alex quickly realized he had said the wrong thing. If Uncle Justin was just standing out here and not going inside, then he must have made Mommy mad.His warm little hand reached out to hold Justinโs cold one. โItโs getting chilly, Uncle Justin. Come inside with me.โHe tugged hard but Justin wouldnโt budge.Justin looked down at him and gently pulled his hand away. His voice was hoarse. โBe good, Alex. Go back inside.โBut Alex didnโt move. He was determined to bring Uncle Justin in with him.He tried again and again, tugging with all his strength, but it was no use. Uncle Justin just wouldnโt go in.The aut

Everything went quietโno sound reached his ears. His vision blurred and darkened. The sky was spinning. The ground was spinning too.With a heavy thud, Justin collapsed to the ground.โJustin?!โ Zac White shouted in alarm, rushing back to him.โWhatโฆ whatโs going on? Why did he pass out?โ He couldnโt believe Justin would faint just because Haley left.Helen was just as panicked, fumbling to help her husband lift Justin off the ground.Soon, airport staff hurried over and helped carry Justin to a car.*In the hospital room, the monitor beeped steadily beside Justinโs bed. A needle was hooked into the back of his hand, an IV drip slowly feeding into his veins.Several doctors and nurses gathered around. After a moment, one of them called out, โMr. Yates is waking up. Go notify the director.โโRight away.โNot long after, Zac rushed into the room, footsteps urgent. The other medical staff stepped out after confirming Justinโs condition.โJustin, how are you feeling? Do you kno

โHaleyโฆโ Justinโs voice was weak. There was so much he wanted to say, but he didnโt even know where to start.โI heard youโre sick?โ Haley said.โIโฆ Iโm fine. Iโm not really sick, I justโโโTake care of yourself. Heart problems arenโt like other illnesses. Just look forward. Let go of the past. Meet someone new. Live your life.โJustin fell silent. His head dropped, and the phone pressed against his ear was clenched so tightly in his hand that his knuckles turned white. He wrestled with the words for a long moment before finally managing to force out.โOkay.โBut he knew. He wouldnโt meet someone new. Without Haley, what kind of life could he possibly call โlivingโ?The call ended. Life went back to its quiet rhythm. Justin no longer clung to Haley or tried to find her. After one more day in the hospital, he threw himself back into work and took over the reins of RC Corporation.They had truly managed to part on peaceful terms.After returning to Merika State, Haley d

As soon as Haley stepped into the room, Justin followed right behind her.It was the first time he had ever set foot in Haleyโs roomโthe space where she lived in Merika State.โGet out!โ she snapped.โHaley, I just wanted to see you. Please donโt make me leave, okay?โHis eyes scanned the room. The walls, the shelvesโeverything was filled with Haleyโs photos. There was even a custom-built glass display case, clearly made with love, housing her pictures from childhood to adulthood. It was something Evelyn had put together just for her, and it overflowed with affection.There were portraits of her alone, family pictures, and right at the topโphotos of Chase and Alex.Justin looked at each one carefully, as if he were trying to piece together a life he hadnโt been part of, but desperately wished he had been.Then his gaze landed on a particular photo: Haley in her teens, wearing a soft pink-and-white hoodie with little bunny ears on the hood. Her pale skin, big round eyes, and brig

It was just a shame that life rarely worked out the way people wanted it to.*Ten years passed in the blink of an eye.Chase and Alex had grown taller and older. Haleyโs once-small jewelry brand had not only found its place in the industryโit had grown into a globally recognized luxury label, known for bespoke, high-end pieces.As for Justin, he split his time between Haven State and Merika State. Whenever he wasnโt busy, he would shamelessly camp out at the estate, claiming he was just there to โsee the kids.โEventually, no one even bothered to call him out on it anymore.One day, Haley had a business meeting with a potential partnerโa widowed single father. Somehow, Justin caught wind of a rumor that the man had feelings for Haley and was actively pursuing her. Word had it that she was interested too, and they were currently having dinner together at a restaurant.The second Justin heard that, he canceled a company meeting, boarded his private jet, and flew straight to Mer

Haley shook her head quickly, flustered. โNoโฆ I meanโno.โ Then she realized how that sounded and corrected herself. โActually, yes. Iโm just hot.โHelen blinked in confusion. โHot? The classroom has air conditioning. Was the sunlight from the window hitting her seat?โ Helen wondered.Without missing a beat, she rushed over and tugged the curtains tighter, making sure her bestie didnโt get โsunburned.โ She still needed Haley to hold onto that top spot. Otherwise, she would lose her excuse at home for going out to โstudyโ with Zac.The pressure and tension of senior year finally came to a close. On the day of the college entrance exam, when everyone stepped out of the test hall for the last time, their faces lit up with genuine smilesโrelaxed, free, and full of relief.Haley tossed aside her textbooks. Her summer break was filled with makeup shopping trips with Helen or third-wheeling her and Zac on their study-dates-turned-real-dates.That routine came to an end the d

Haleyโs eyes shifted as she thought quickly. โButโฆ I donโt really like guys who rank higher than me on exams.โShe gave a light shrug and continued, โI mean, I think we should be focusing on school right now. Relationships can wait until after we get into college, right? What if we donโt even end up at the same school? Long-distance never works, and after a while, weโd probably drift apart. Donโt you think?โWas that a gentle rejection? It seemed like it. Haley wondered if she had been too blunt. Had she left him any dignity at all?They still had a whole year of high school left together. She didnโt want things to get awkward between them. A harsh rejection would only make everything more uncomfortable.Justin furrowed his brows, thinking for a long moment before giving a single reply. โOkay.โThen he slung his backpack over his shoulder and walked off.Haley stood there, completely confused.โOkay? What did he mean by that?โDid he understand what I was trying to say?

Emma and her little clique of schoolyard mean girls had Justin completely surrounded.โIโll ask you one more time,โ she said, smug and unbothered. โWill you be my boyfriend or not?โโNo,โ Justin replied coldly, his face unreadable.โHey!โ one of Emmaโs loyal followers stepped forward, cracking her knuckles and getting way too close. โDo you even know who our Emma is? Sheโs the heiress of the Xander Corporation. Sheโs giving you a chance, and you should be grateful. You better say yes.โโWhat, you want us to beat you up before you agree?โ another girl sneered.Justin didnโt flinch. His icy stare locked onto the girl who spoke, completely unbothered by the threat.Emma waved a hand to hold her crew back, pretending to be generous. Then she turned to Justin again, cocky and bold.โI like you way too much to have anyone rough you up,โ she said sweetly. โBut I heard youโre trying to get into Altiplano University in the capital. Hereโs the dealโif you go out with me, Iโll have my dad

As soon as Justin sat down and pulled out the textbook for the next class, a hand suddenly reached out from beside him.โHey, Iโm Zac White,โ Zac said.Justin glanced up with a cold look, then went right back to pulling out his notebook and penโcompletely ignoring the extended hand.Zac awkwardly pulled his hand back, speechless.โManโฆ this guyโs seriously cold. What a show-off,โ he thought to himself.The class flew by. When the bell rang, signaling the end of the period, Haley and Helen linked arms and headed off toward the bathroom. Zac immediately trailed after them.โWhere are you two going? Take me with you.โโYou planning on going into the girlsโ bathroom, you perv?โ Helen smacked his hand away, not wanting their classmatesโor worse, their teacherโto get any ideas about the two of them dating.Zac scratched his nose. โFine, I wonโt go in the girlsโ roomโฆ but I can go to the guysโ one, canโt I?โโHmph!โ Helen huffed, scrunching her nose playfully.Zac clutched his chest

At a top-ranked high school in Lincourt City, the bell rang.Students still lingering in the hallways or restrooms were urged to hurry back to class.Outside, the summer heat simmered, accompanied by the steady buzz of cicadas. Inside, the air-conditioned classrooms offered a much more comfortable escape.In Class 2โ1 of the junior year, students hurried back to their seats. Just as the final chime faded, the homeroom teacher walked in, holding a stack of freshly graded exam papers.โFor this round of mock exams,โ she announced, loud and clear, โthe top score in the entire grade once again goes to our very own Haley!โA wave of murmurs and applause followed. โLetโs all work hard and try to catch up to her next time!โShe began handing out the papers in order, from the highest score to the lowest.After Haley got her paper, the next few went to her seatmate, Helen, and the student sitting behind themโZac.โWork hard and catch up?โ Helen muttered as she slid back into her seat, s

But what did it matter, even if she still loved him? The pain he caused her in the past was still there, lingering beneath the surface.They had loved, they had hurt, they had been entangled for years. But not every love story had to end with forgiveness and reconciliation.Haley couldnโt pretend the past hadnโt happened. She couldnโt smile and pick up where they left off, as if nothing had ever gone wrong.She would always remember that street in Merika State, when Justin turned away, picked Emma up in his arms, and left her standing there alone.Even if he had mistaken someone else for her, the pain he caused and the love he failed to give were real.And that wasnโt something she could ever forget.She could make peace with the past, but she could never erase it.Her heart ached, but she didnโt say anything. Instead, she turned and walked away.*Years later, Haley passed away peacefully in her bedroom at the estate.That same day, Justin had gone out to the grocer
