Chapter 8

Penulis: Bagel
But my mother had simply poured her wine with slow, deliberate movements, waiting for his emotions to settle slightly before she looked up at him.

"Harrison, when Aurora was hell-bent on running off with you, I didn't interfere. That was the path she chose, and she alone bore the consequences of those five years."

"Now that she has come to her senses and chosen to take back control of her life, of course I will support her with everything I have. I respect all of my daughter's decisions."

  • I Disappeared Before He Could Lie Again   Chapter 9

    Harrison stared as if he hadn't understood a word I said.He stood frozen, his gaze fixed on the invitation in my hand. His own hand hovered in the air for a long time, unable to take it from me.He looked back up at me, his deep eyes now hollow with despair.I didn't indulge him any longer.I took a step forward and, ignoring his stunned silence, pushed the invitation into his palm."My fiancé is the heir to an old, noble family. Our union has the blessing of both our families.""I will receive the respect and peace I deserve. I will no longer live at the mercy of any man."Harrison's head hung low.The single tear clinging to his lashes finally broke free, splashing onto the gilded crest and blooming into a dark stain.He said nothing more. He just stood there.I paused, then offered a slight smile."If you have the time, you're welcome to attend. But I will be busy with many important guests, so I won't have time to entertain you personally.""I hope you find your own peace, too. Ta

    But my mother had simply poured her wine with slow, deliberate movements, waiting for his emotions to settle slightly before she looked up at him."Harrison, when Aurora was hell-bent on running off with you, I didn't interfere. That was the path she chose, and she alone bore the consequences of those five years.""Now that she has come to her senses and chosen to take back control of her life, of course I will support her with everything I have. I respect all of my daughter's decisions.""As for your so-called feelings for each other, they ended the moment you allowed others to degrade her. It's too late for tears now. Go home. Don't come back. That is the last shred of dignity I will offer you as an elder."My mother told me that after hearing those words, Harrison's face went ashen.He looked as if all the blood had been drained from his body, so lost and dejected he could barely stand.Just from his appearance, in the mere months since I had left, he had already become a haggard sh

    Across the ocean, I received a call from Marco's private line half an hour later.I didn't hang up.As he cautiously pleaded Harrison's case, I calmly threw the question back at him."Marco, if you were me, would you forgive Harrison?"Marco gave a bitter laugh, his answer swift."No.""No amount of love can survive that kind of betrayal."I echoed his laugh, my tone firm."So, Marco. For the sake of our friendship, I'm asking you.""Keep my location and contact information a secret from him.""Tell Harrison for me that I've started a completely new life.""He and I are really, truly over."I took a deep breath of the cool, crisp air of my homeland. A faint, sharp pain still pricked at my chest, but I quickly pushed it aside."Those five years of my youth... I'll consider them the price I paid for blind love."Marco didn't try to persuade me any further.He bid me a solemn farewell and ended the transoceanic call.My mother, once a formidable force in the business world, sat on the vel

    Behind him, Cathy was still sobbing, her cries echoing in the hallway.But Harrison had no time for her. He floored the accelerator and raced to the international airport.He stormed straight to the VIP service counter. Using the Moretti family's clout, he strong-armed the staff into pulling up the departure records."I've found it, Mr. Moretti.""The system confirms that a Ms. Aurora boarded tonight's transoceanic flight to her home country. The flight landed an hour ago."Hearing she was already on the other side of the world, Harrison's composure finally broke.He slammed his hands on the counter, leaning in as he commanded, "Call her immediately! Or give me her contact information!""I'm her husband! It's a matter of life and death! I need to contact her now! Right now!"The staff member frowned slightly at his tone.But she simply shook her head, her expression apologetic but firm."Sir, I understand your urgency. But according to aviation security regulations, we are not allowed

    A jolt shot through Harrison. His voice rose involuntarily.He gripped the phone so tightly his knuckles turned white, his voice a near roar."What did you say? Aurora's at the international terminal?!""She went home?"On the other end of the line, Marco sucked in a sharp breath, stunned by his boss's explosive reaction.He had followed Harrison through years of bloodshed, and his instincts screamed at him that this was serious.He carefully recounted what he had seen."No mistake. When I saw her, she was already in the first-class boarding line. I didn't dare stop her. I just assumed she had a family emergency. I thought I'd report to you first.""Boss, what the hell happened at the estate? Why would the Donna be leaving the country alone, without a single bodyguard?""From your reaction... you didn't know?"For the first time Harrison could remember, he was struck silent.Through the phone, Marco could only hear his boss's ragged, chaotic breathing. He didn't dare make a sound.Even

    In reality, Harrison knew Cathy was probably faking it.But he couldn't resist testing me.Just as his men had said, he had protected me for five years, given me the lavish life of a future Donna. I was supposed to be a tamed pet, completely surrendered to him.Even if he was entangled with other women, a few sweet words and a few passionate kisses from him should have been enough for me to gratefully let it go.After all, he was my protector, and I was the one hopelessly in love with him.With these thoughts, Harrison pursed his lips and went ahead with revoking my security detail and access to the estate.He stared at his phone, firing off an aggressive message. "Do you realize what you did wrong yet?""Apologize like a good girl, and I'll be generous enough to forget this ever happened."But Harrison had forgotten that in my home country, far away, I had a family, a job, and friends. I had a life of my own.When I gave all that up to cross an ocean, it was because I loved him, and I
