For Her Sake, He Married Me Chapter 25
The island wind always carried a salty, free scent. The swaying of the coconut trees could be seen outside the studio window. Sunlight streamed through the massive, tall windows, lighting up the workbench where every precision tool was arranged just so. The same tools that once gathered dust in the corner of a forgotten villa were now alive again under Cecelia's skilled hands.The studio walls were lined with awards and certificates belonging to her mentor and their team.This place wasn't just a refuge anymore. It was the anchor of her career, a harbor where dreams could finally set sail again.During a break, Cecelia's eyes landed on a photo frame on her desk. Inside was a picture of her and Jonathan at a sunset by the sea, standing side by side, their smiles warm and genuine.She picked up her phone and tapped out a brief message. "See you tonight."As dusk settled, Jonathan's car pulled up outside the studio."Want to stop somewhere first?" Jonathan asked, opening the car d

The investigation and trial finally came to an end.The chain of evidence Cecelia submitted was the only weapon she needed, cutting down every last hope Francis and Melody had of escaping justice."The court finds the defendant, Francis Rivera, guilty on multiple counts, including harboring a criminal, perjury, and abuse of power. The defendant is hereby sentenced to fifteen years of imprisonment.""The court further finds the defendant, Melody Green, guilty of vehicular manslaughter, endangering public safety, and intentional injury. The defendant is hereby sentenced to life imprisonment."Every word of the verdict echoed in the silent court, as if each word weighed a ton.Cecelia also finalized her divorce.She got exactly what she wanted, but there was no sense of triumph. There was only a heavy, almost numb exhaustion, like reaching the end of a long, empty journey.Francis was flanked by two armed bailiffs, and he was led out through a side door.The pale sunlight of fall

Cecelia's silence made Francis believe he hadn't punished Melody enough. He was about to kick her a few times again when Cecelia stopped him. "Enough." Cecelia's voice was soft.Francis jerked his head up. For a moment, hope and joy flickered in his dead eyes, almost lighting him up from within.She spoke to him! She stopped him!Did this mean she was finally…finally willing to forgive him?"Celia!" His voice was hoarse, hands trembling as he tried to grab hers—only to pull back at the last moment, not daring to touch her."You're willing to forgive me, right? I knew it! I knew you still cared! I was wrong! I know I was wrong now! I was a fool! I was blind! I let you down! I let your dad down! I'm willing to do whatever you want, just don't leave me! I'll even give you my life! Please, Celia… come back to me…." Francis was rambling, sobbing uncontrollably. The once-proud, unshakable lawyer was now groveling at her feet like some desperate beggar.Cecelia looked down at him,

"I'll atone! I'll do it!" Rivera clung to his last hope as he sensed Cecelia's hesitation. "I'll make the person responsible pay!"The car finally stopped in front of the villa that they once called their marital home.Night had fallen. The house was bright with light, so bright it made Cecelia's eyes ache."Celia," Francis said, his voice tinged with desperate hope. He got out of the car and hurried around to open her door. "We're home." He put extra emphasis on the word home, as if walking inside could somehow erase the past.But Cecelia didn't move.She looked at the villa that had been both the stage for her brief happiness and the prison for her darkest despair."Come in, just for a minute?" Francis pleaded.At last, Cecelia got out of the car. She still had something important left inside. Her heels echoed on the cold marble steps, the sound echoing hollowly in the villa.Inside, everything had been thoroughly restored. The little green plant she liked was back in its p

Francis's heart shook, his eyes red. He picked up the pen and left the last stroke of ink on the marital settlement agreement.Almost desperately, he slid the papers across to Cecelia. She glanced down, her eyes scanning the terms. Every bit of real estate, every fund and stock, everything was transferred to her name.She didn't hesitate. She signed her name in one smooth motion. Quick, clean, and she didn't even glance at him."And the Divorce Agreement." Her voice was steady and cool, as if she were handling a matter that had nothing to do with her own life.That calmness made Francis's dead heart skip a beat. For a moment, a strange hope rushed through him.She accepted it! She accepted everything he gave!It was such a massive transfer of wealth… In his desperation, he took it as a sign she might be softening, a sign that she still had some pity for him. He seized on that faint hope as if it were the last thing keeping him afloat."Celia," his voice, tired and broken, was

After returning from that sunlit island, Francis felt like all the strength had been drained from his body. It was so bright that his eyes were hurting. Every one of Cecelia's smiles burned into his shattered heart.No, he couldn't let it end like this!He owed her an apology, an explanation. Even if the odds were a million to one, he needed to try. With trembling hands, he sent a message.He used the excuse of agreeing to the divorce to ask Cecelia to meet him with a lawyer for the division of assets. It was clumsy, selfish… But he had no other option. The moment he pressed send, a huge wave of exhaustion hit him.The next day, Francis arrived two hours early.He sat by the window, at the same spot where he had confessed to Cecelia years ago. The city view outside was just as familiar, but his heart was unrecognizable anymore.He wore the custom suit she once complimented, his hair carefully styled to hide the fatigue and red eyes. But his fingers couldn't stop nervously rubbing
