  • His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him   Chapter 355

    The long hand of the antique wall clock with a bronze pendulum in the corner of the Ashford main residence living room shifted slowly, pointing straight to ten at night. Its constant tickin—felt so deafening in the middle of the deep night silence.On top of the long black shiny leather-wrapped Chesterfield sofa, Calvin Ashford sat upright with a stiff posture. The cup of black coffee served on the marble table in front of him had cooled down since two hours ago, its surface no longer emitting hot steam. Occasionally, the middle-aged man's jaw hardened, and the lines of tension around his eyes became increasingly evident.A few meters from where her husband sat, Camelia walked back and forth on the thick velvet carpet. Her footsteps wearing soft furry house slippers brushed softly, pacing back and forth from the edge of the large glass window toward the main door. The noblewoman repeatedly squeezed her own fingers, extreme anxiety clearly depicted on her beautiful face, which was begi

    The twilight breeze brushed gently against the oak foliage in the backyard of a private villa of classic architecture located not far from the campus park. White stone pillars rose tall to support a spacious terrace facing directly toward a clear-water swimming pool, reflecting the orange light bias of the sun slowly setting on the western horizon. The sliding glass door with a teak frame stood wide open, allowing the scent of pine wood and wet grass to drift into the living room with a red velvet interior.Daven stood near a large window, his fingers tapping the glass frame in an irregular rhythm. The nightmare shadow that had briefly choked his neck in the park earlier still left a faint tremor in the tips of his fingers, pushing an urgent need to ensure that the girl in front of him was truly alive, breathing, and completely within his grasp.On the long cream Victorian-style sofa, Joye sat pulling the knit cardigan wrapping her plus-size body close around her. The girl's face stil

    Daven's chest rose and fell in an irregular rhythm. The cold night air of the ominous funeral chamber suddenly dissolved, replaced by the warm sting of midday sunlight filtering through the gaps between the lush leaves. His temple was damp with cold sweat, and his heartbeat pounded wildly against his ribs as though he had just run through a storm of death."Daven? Hey, what's wrong?"A soft voice he knew all too well touched his ears. It was not the heart-wrenching sound of sobs from the black marble room, but a melodious voice filled with confusion and genuine concern.Daven blinked repeatedly. His vision, previously blurred by images of tombstones and coffins, gradually came into focus. He felt the soft surface beneath his cheek—not the concrete floor of a hospital or the cold tiles of the mourning hall, but the softness of someone's thigh beneath a light cotton skirt.He lifted his head slightly. Joye's face was lowered as she stared at him with a worried frown. The girl's plus-siz

    The air inside the funeral chamber felt unbearably dense, as though every ounce of oxygen had been absorbed by the towering black marble walls. The scent of incense mingled with the fragrance of thousands of white lilies and roses, enveloping every corner of the mourning hall and creating an atmosphere that was both sacred and ominous. In the center of the spacious room, a finely carved mahogany coffin stood upon a small platform illuminated by the dim glow of yellow lights.Daven stood motionless on the left side of the coffin. His body was clad in an utterly black suit, matching the shirt and tie he wore. The thin bandage still wrapped around his left temple and elbow seemed to be the silent remnants of the deadly disaster that had occurred that evening, but those physical wounds were nothing compared to the gaping wound inside his chest. His empty gaze remained fixed upon the figure lying forever inside the wooden box.Joye looked so peaceful, like a sleeping princess lost in the l

  • His Regret Began When I Abandoned Him   Chapter 351

    The sound of an ambulance siren pierced through the silence of New York City at night with a deafening howl. Red and blue emergency lights spun rapidly, casting sharp flashes of light against the walls of the towering buildings they passed. Inside the cramped, disinfectant-scented rear compartment of the ambulance, the atmosphere felt far more terrifying than the clinking of the medical equipment surrounding them.Daven sat frozen on the small bench beside the stretcher. His own body was covered in abrasions; his elbows and knees were torn open, bleeding fresh blood that soaked through his jeans and black leather jacket. His left temple was bleeding, warm blood trickling down his deathly pale cheek. Yet he paid absolutely no attention to the physical pain in his body. Daven's sense of pain seemed to have gone numb, completely swallowed by a far more devastating psychological terror.Daven's two hands trembled violently as they tightly held Joye's right hand. The hand that was usually

    The evening sky above New York City slowly transformed into a beautiful golden-orange gradient. The autumn breeze blew gently, sending strands of Joye's loose hair fluttering freely beneath the large full-face helmet secured over her head. In front of her, Daven rode a powerful-engine sport motorcycle at a moderate speed, savoring the precious moments of their afternoon date after the terrifying ordeal they had endured over the past few weeks."Daven!" Joye called out cheerfully from behind the young man, both arms wrapped tightly around Daven's waist, making her feel completely safe. "The air feels so fresh this afternoon! It feels so nice to go out and ride a motorcycle like this!"Daven briefly glanced at the side mirror, catching the reflection of his beloved's cheerful face behind her helmet visor. A wide smile spread across the young man's lips. "I'm glad you like it, Baby! After this, we'll find your favorite apple pie at the café down the road!" Daven shouted back over the roa
