From Lovers to Strangers Chapter 24
Elena finally turned to Kyle."Kyle, the Elena who loved you died at that wedding three years ago. You and Allison killed her."Don't you remember?"Kyle stumbled back. His mouth opened, but nothing came out."I won't take revenge, and I won't forgive you," Elena said calmly. "Because you don't deserve a place in my life anymore."Kyle left in a daze.Outside, the rain had stopped. The community was already starting to rebuild.He glanced back at Elena and Ace, smiling at each other inside the room.And finally, he understood.He'd really lost her. Forever.A few days later, Kyle left the community.Once home, he started a charity foundation to provide medical care and education to remote areas.He donated most of his fortune and spent years traveling through poor mountain communities as an ordinary volunteer.Not long after, he heard Elena and Ace had a simple wedding in the community.Kyle wore Elena's necklace around his neck, the pendant resting beside their old weddi

When Elena woke, Kyle was sitting beside her bed.The memories came rushing back, shattering three years of peace. Every moment from the past felt as vivid as yesterday."Elena, how are you—"He lit up when she woke, but the disgust in her eyes stopped him cold."Mr. Fenton, thank you for saving the community."Her voice held none of its old wariness. Just ice.Kyle felt like he'd been dropped into freezing water. His voice shook."Elena... you remember?"Elena looked away and said nothing.Kyle instinctively reached for her hand."I'm sorry. Let me explain..."Elena calmly pulled away, got out of bed, and walked out.Kyle's hand stayed suspended in the air. His throat tightened, panic and pain crushing his chest until he could barely breathe.Elena went to Ace's room and sat beside his bed, quietly holding his hand.Kyle followed and stopped outside the door.Then Ace woke.Elena immediately checked his vitals.Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Ace lifted a hand

Kyle, who was helping nearby, saw a local man running toward him."Something happened! Mr. Ashford... he was crushed by a rock while saving someone!"Kyle's heart jumped.He gathered a few people and rushed over.Together, they worked to move the massive rock off Ace."Get a stretcher! Hurry!"They carefully lifted Ace onto it and rushed him back to the clinic.Elena froze when she saw him.Just moments ago, Ace had been talking to her.Now he was covered in blood."Ace!"She ran to him, fingers shaking as she checked his carotid pulse.There. A pulse.She forced herself to focus and checked him over."Multiple broken ribs. He needs surgery. Now."The room went dead quiet.Surgery?How the hell were they supposed to do that in a clinic that barely had basic supplies?Ace's breathing got weaker. Elena's voice cracked."I can't operate... We don't have the equipment, anesthesia, or blood. I can't save him..."Kyle looked at Elena's shaking figure, then at Ace's injuri

'Who was that woman?'Her head started throbbing again.Elena shook it off and pushed the thought away.Outside, the rain had turned brutal, hammering the windows like it might break through.Wind howled through the trees, branches snapping in the dark.The whole world seemed ready to collapse beneath the storm.Boom!Thunder cracked as lightning split the sky, briefly lighting up the steep cliffs beyond the community.Elena's heart jumped.Something felt wrong.Then the emergency PA system blared."Flash flood! Everyone evacuate! Get to higher ground!"Before the announcement even finished, the ground shook violently.Elena nearly lost her balance.Gripping the window frame, she watched a row of nearby houses collapse into the muddy flood and disappear."Elena!"The door flew open.Ace rushed in and grabbed her hand."Get to the clinic. It's on the highest ground."Elena snapped out of it and followed him into the pouring rain.Muddy water already covered her ankle

Ace's expression didn't change, like he'd known all along."I... hurt her." The words barely came out. "Badly."But I love her. She's my wife."Ace gave a cold laugh.Just because he'd chosen to teach in a remote mountain community didn't mean he didn't have connections.Elena had told him she was happy with her life now, so he'd respected that and never dug into her past.But the second Kyle showed up, it was obvious.He knew Elena.And with Elena's nightmares getting worse since Kyle showed up, Ace needed to know who he was.That was how he learned what had happened three years ago.How Kyle had treated Elena like a replacement for his ex.How badly he'd hurt her.Ace wanted to beat the hell out of him.But for Elena's sake, he didn't.All she wanted was a quiet, normal life."Your wife?" Ace shot back. "That's how you treat your wife? Use her as a replacement? Leave her covered in scars?"Besides, Elena divorced you. You're nothing to her."Kyle froze.'How does so

Cold sweat soaked Elena's pajamas, leaving them clammy against her skin.A soft knock came at the door."Elena, you okay?"Ace.Elena pulled herself together, got out of bed, and opened the door.He stood there in his pajamas, holding a glass of warm water.Her nightmare must've woken him, and he'd come straight over."Another nightmare?"He handed her the glass.Elena wrapped her fingers around the warmth, and her racing thoughts slowly settled.She nodded.Ace didn't ask what she'd dreamed about.He just stayed beside her until she finished the water."If you can't sleep, I can stay and talk."With Ace there, the tension slowly left her body.Eventually, she fell asleep and slept peacefully until morning.After that night, the nightmares wouldn't leave her alone.They got clearer, but somehow more chaotic.Sometimes, a tall figure pinned her against a desk while tears of humiliation blurred her vision.Other times, men chased her through the dark as she ran for her
