Beyond His Reach Chapter 10 The End of Everything
After a long while, the doctor came out and shook his head at me. "He is asking for you. He has something to say."My legs trembled as I walked in. The moment I saw his gaunt face, tears spilled uncontrollably down my cheeks.Ten years together. We had long since carved ourselves into each other's hearts."Blake…"Hearing my voice, he opened his eyes."Don't cry, Vanessa," he said softly. "I'm free now. You say you've let go, but I know there has always been something weighing on your heart. Once it's said, let it go. Live well. If not, we'll just start over."I looked at him and smiled through tears. I nodded and said, "Don't worry. I'm not afraid of death. I'll live well for both of us. If it comes to it, we'll just start over."Blake Hilton. That was his real name. I had not said it in a long time.I held his hand, watching him silently until everything grew still.Edward had been watching from outside. When he saw me walk out looking calm and composed, he looked uneasy."
Beyond His Reach Chapter 9 Death Approaches
Edward's voice pulled me back.I thought for a moment.It was at a bar.At that time, my senior and I were on a mission. Back then, I had multicolored hair and a miniskirt. According to Edward, my bright eyes made me stand out, making me look like someone who didn't belong in a place like that. Still, I was bold enough as I pinned a handsy thug to the ground and beat him senselessly.I was furious at that time. Because of him, the target we were tracking got away. Yet Edward was still there, cheering me on, even trying to buy me a drink.I shot him a glare and walked off.Thinking back, I couldn't help but smile."Edward, are you joking with me? It's been so long. I don't remember anymore."Edward didn't pause. His voice was low as he continued, "I remember. You said if I were ever unfaithful, you would disappear and never let me find you again. Vanessa, you really are ruthless. You meant it."Back then, I was young and full of hope for a better life. As my seniors fell on
Beyond His Reach Chapter 8 A Peaceful Life for Another Ten Years
We hit it off immediately. With our teacher as our witness, my partner and I registered our marriage, had a simple meal together, and just like that, we were married.I supposed we were simply making do.Given the nature of my identity, Edward and I were never going to be possible. Even if none of this had happened, there was no going back. I had my principles, and I could never accept him again.Somehow, Edward found out about this marriage. On the very day my partner and I registered our marriage, a package arrived from far away.It was sent directly to our new place. I froze for a moment when I opened it.Inside was a necklace—exquisite, beautifully designed—with my initials engraved on it.I sighed and said, "If he keeps this up, I'm really going to have to step in."My partner shrugged and replied, "It's fine. Let him hold onto something. Maybe it'll help him let go eventually.""You told him?" I looked at him in surprise."I just hinted that you and I will never split up
Beyond His Reach Chapter 7 A New Life
"Sir, I did it.""You did. Among all my students, you were the one I believed in most. From now on, take good care of yourself." He took a deep breath and patted my shoulder."After you left, Edward came to the school like a madman, saying you'd gone missing. He even called the police. It caused quite a stir. I knew the truth, but I couldn't tell him. They say he had been searching for you ever since. This time…" My teacher didn't finish his words and only looked at me.I understood what his unfinished words were.Back then, I had chosen the mission without explaining the truth, so my teacher thought I had broken up with Edward purely for the sake of the country.Now, there was no need to explain either."I understand, but it's impossible between us now. The past is the past. To me, my country will always matter more than him. Besides, he was never right for me."The moment my identity was exposed, Edward had nearly caused years of restraint and sacrifice to collapse. If not f
Beyond His Reach Chapter 6 In the Hospital
Edward hadn't expected me to actually attack him. The next second, there was a dull thud behind him—someone collapsed with a muffled groan.Then, my partner made his move.I cursed under my breath as everything was about to fall apart at the very last moment.Our location and identity had been exposed.My partner and I worked in tandem. I pulled Edward behind me—no matter what, he was a citizen of my country. I had to protect him.In the chaos, I heard someone shout, "Vanessa!"Then, a shadow lunged at me.Edward suddenly grabbed me tightly. At that moment, I felt a sharp pain, and then everything went black.When I woke up again, the smell of disinfectant filled my nose. My partner stood in front of me and said, "Good thing you woke up. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to face our teacher!"It took me a while to process that I had been saved. "I…""You're lucky that the bullet didn't hit anything vital. Looks like it'll take a bit longer before we can return home, but all good
Beyond His Reach Chapter 5 Being Exposed
I took a step back, putting distance between us.Edward looked dejected. Then, he made a request. "Can you at least let me hug you? I don't even know if she's still alive."Hearing this, I took a deep breath and shook my head."I'm sorry, Mr. Miles. We're not that close. Aside from our first meeting, we're basically strangers. I don't want my husband to misunderstand us."His eyes dimmed instantly. Faced with my coldness, he could only stand there, looking helpless.His hand, suspended in midair, slowly dropped. He let out a bitter laugh and said, "I was asking for too much. Sorry about that. I didn't expect things to turn out like this. I guess it's my turn now."My heart skipped a beat. Out of instinct, I warned him, "Don't talk about life and death like that."Edward gave a bitter smile to me before leaving.I took a deep breath as I watched him go. Then, I shut the door and collapsed onto the floor, feeling drained.I thought everything could finally end after ten years, b
