He Divorced Me… But I Was Never His To Lose(regret & desire) CHAPTER 175
The Man Beyond The DoorThe voice on the other side of the door seemed to linger in the cabin long after the last word faded, and although the fire continued burning quietly in the hearth and snow still whispered against the windows, every person inside that small room had become so still that even the sound of breathing felt strangely intrusive, because the man outside had not introduced himself, had not explained anything, and had not raised his voice, yet he had spoken to Serena with the ease and warmth of someone who had known her all his life.Claire looked as though she had forgotten how to move.Her face had gone completely pale, and the tears running down her cheeks no longer seemed connected to her illness or to the memories of the last twenty years because this grief was different, this disbelief was older, deeper, and so profound that it appeared to have reached into the center of her and stolen every word she might have spoken.Elias remained staring at the door with his h

The Man Who Shouldn't Be AliveThe words fell into the cabin so softly that for a moment Serena thought she had misheard them.He's here.Nobody moved.Nobody even seemed to breathe.Elias was still staring toward the dark window, his face having lost what little color remained in it, and the transformation was so abrupt that it sent a chill through the room because this was the same man who had just faced twenty years of grief without flinching, the same man who had stood calmly outside a cabin surrounded by armed men and secrets and dying promises.Now he looked afraid.Genuinely afraid.The engine outside continued to grow louder.Not one of the SUVs.Something else.Heavier.Older.The sound seemed to echo through the forest itself.Victor stood immediately."Who?"Elias didn't answer.His eyes remained fixed on the darkness beyond the glass."No."The word escaped him like an involuntary breath.Claire had gone still.The change in her expression was immediate.She looked confuse

The Place He Chose To DieNobody spoke.The key rested in Elias' open palm, catching the firelight as though it possessed a life of its own, its worn silver surface bearing the marks of years spent being carried, hidden, and protected, and somehow that small piece of metal seemed to contain more gravity than all the files, journals, and secrets they had uncovered during the past few weeks.Serena couldn't stop looking at it.The place where he died.The sentence kept repeating inside her head.Her father had a place.A real place.Not a story.Not a name hidden behind twenty years of silence.A place he had seen with his own eyes and chosen for his final moments.Claire's expression had become distant.Her gaze was fixed on the key, but Serena doubted she was actually seeing it. She looked like someone standing in two different years at once.Elias slowly closed his hand around the key."He made me promise I wouldn't go there unless I found you."Daniel frowned."Why?"A sad smile cro

The Last Thing He Asked ForNobody tried to stop Elias from crying.Nobody looked away either.The sight felt too human.Too painfully real.The man who had spent twenty years terrifying governments, funding covert operations, and moving pieces across an invisible chessboard with frightening precision was kneeling in the snow beside Claire, his shoulders shaking beneath his coat while tears streamed down his face because he had finally reached the end of a journey that should have ended two decades ago.The forest remained silent around them.Even the armed men stood motionless.Their weapons hung forgotten at their sides.Because some moments were simply too sacred for violence.Claire's hand remained against Elias' cheek.The gesture looked natural.Practiced.As though she had comforted him many times before.Perhaps she had.She smiled sadly."You always cry when you're tired."A broken laugh escaped him."You remember that?"She nodded."Of course I do."The answer only made him

The Promise He Couldn't KeepThe world did not end with Elias' words.The snow continued to fall.The wind continued moving through the trees.The headlights remained fixed on the clearing, illuminating the figures gathered around Claire as though they were actors standing on a stage they never asked to step onto.Yet for Serena, something had shifted so profoundly that even the cold no longer felt real.You're already at the stage that killed him.Claire looked at Elias for several seconds.Then she smiled.The expression was small.Gentle.Almost apologetic."There it is."Nobody understood.Not immediately.Elias did.His face crumpled."There it is."Claire looked toward the sky."I wondered when someone would finally say it aloud."Her breath came unevenly now, every inhale appearing to demand more effort than the last.Catherine moved closer."Claire, please."Her twin looked at her and smiled again.The smile of an older sister.The smile of someone comforting another person, e

The Illness That Took HimFor several seconds after Claire spoke, nobody seemed capable of understanding the words.The same disease.Snow continued drifting from the sky in slow, lazy spirals, settling on shoulders and hair while the headlights from the SUVs cut pale tunnels through the darkness, yet the world itself felt strangely distant because the look on Elias Vaughn's face made it clear that those four words meant far more than anyone else understood.He was trembling.Not violently.Just enough.Enough to make the woman in his arms notice.Enough to make everyone notice.Claire looked up at him, and for the first time since she had emerged from the forest, her expression softened completely.Almost with pity."You remember."The question was unnecessary.Elias laughed.The sound was raw and broken."Remember?"His eyes had turned red."I spent twenty years trying to forget."Silence settled over the clearing.Claire's breathing had become shallow. Every exhale looked like it

THE NIGHT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHINGThe silence inside the medical room became unbearable.I could hear my own heartbeat clearly now, uneven and sharp against the suffocating tension surrounding all of us while Damian stood a few feet away looking at me like he was trying to find the right words fast

SHE LOOK AT ME LIKE I WAS A MISTAKEThe tension inside the medical room changed instantly after Lucien’s words, pressing heavily against the air until even breathing felt strained. Damian had already pushed himself upright despite the pain clearly visible across his face, every trace of vulnerabili

YOUR MOTHER WANTED ME GONEFor a moment, I genuinely thought I had heard him wrong.The silence inside the medical room became suffocating as I stared at Damian, waiting for him to say something else, something that corrected what he had just said, because there was no way his mother could be conne

STAY WITH ME The weight of him nearly dragged me down with him.A shocked breath escaped my lips as Damian collapsed against my body, his arm instinctively wrapping around my waist for balance before the strength holding him upright finally gave out completely. The smell of blood hit me immediatel
