Irreplaceable Rose Chapter 9
After dealing with Sarah, George came straight to find me.He tracked me down at Jordan's apartment and pleaded earnestly, "Catelyn, I was wrong. I've loved you all along. I've already sent Sarah away. She'll never bother us again. Catelyn, come back to me. Let's start over, please?"I stayed silent for a long moment, then turned my head to look at him."George, let me ask you a question."Something in my tone made his Adam's apple tighten. Unease flickered across his face."…Ask.""Didn't you once say you only loved Sarah?"His body stiffened.I could still hear the echoes of his voice from that night on the bed, the way he had pushed me to seduce another man—for her.After several attempts to form words, he rasped, "Because I didn't realize it then. But today, when Sarah asked me if I loved you, all I could think of were the memories we shared. Catelyn, I really do love you."He was about to say more, but I cut him off. "Do you know when I realized I no longer loved you?"

When I returned to George's house to pack my belongings, the muffled sound of breathless moans drifted from the master bedroom.I froze outside the door, a dull ache spreading through my chest. Not for George, but for the foolish me who had once loved him so blindly.I looked around. It struck me that none of this truly belonged to me. Everything here had been bought with George's money. I had no right to take a single thing.I turned to leave, but the moment I opened the door, a hand shot out from behind and gripped my wrist.George, disheveled, chased after me in panic. His eyes carried a rare flicker of unease."Catelyn, that day at the hospital… Why did you suddenly disappear? I took Sarah for her check-up, and when I came back, you were gone."I almost laughed. I was nothing more than the afterthought he remembered once Sarah had been seen to. Never the first choice. Never the only one.I stared coldly at him. "So when you finally thought of me, you didn't come looking for

I quickly changed clothes, hailed a cab, and went straight to the Baker Corporation's headquarters.Following the receptionist's directions, I found myself standing at the door of Jordan's office.He hadn't expected me. The moment his eyes landed on me, surprise flickered across his face."Catelyn? What are you doing here?"I didn't answer. Instead, I walked directly up to him."Jordan," I asked bluntly, "what's with all those portraits of me in your house?"Silence.He turned away and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing out at the glittering city lights below. It was a long time before he finally turned back. His eyes burned into mine."Catelyn, I've liked you since high school. I remember the stage—you in that blazing red dress, dancing as if the world belonged to you. Every eye in the crowd was on you, awed by your beauty."And in that moment, what had he been thinking?He had been thinking that he would guard her forever—through fading youth, through the erosion

George stormed into the doorway, rage blazing in his eyes."Catelyn! What the hell are you doing?" he roared.He hurried to Sarah, who lay crumpled on the floor, and gathered her into his arms with trembling urgency."Sarah, are you hurt? Tell me where it hurts." His voice shook with panic, his expression carved with worry.Then he swung his head toward me, his glare like a blade. "Sarah came here out of kindness to see your mother, and you hurt her? Are you so petty you can't even tolerate her presence?"I tried to explain, my voice breaking. "I didn't push her! She fell on her own… And she pulled off my mother's oxygen mask!"George refused to listen."Enough!" he cut me off coldly. "Sarah didn't mean it. She must have knocked it off by accident. Besides, your mother is nothing more than a vegetable. What difference does it make whether she lives or dies?"My chest seized."You don't need to make such a fuss," he continued with chilling calm. "I'll buy your mother the finest

"Catelyn!" George's roar shook the room, his voice thick with betrayal and fury. "You really had the fucking nerve!"I rose lazily from the bed, dragging the blanket around me with careless grace."What are you so angry about?" I arched a brow, my tone calm. "I carried out the task flawlessly. Isn't that what you wanted?"His stare locked on me, dark and conflicted.Beside him, Sarah fanned the flames, her voice dripping venom."My, Catelyn, you really are something. So quick to reel Jordan in. Georgie, with skills that polished, I'd say she's had plenty of practice."George's expression darkened further with every word she spoke.Just then, the door swung open. Jordan stepped in, carrying two paper bags of breakfast.So—he hadn't left. He'd only gone out to buy food.He froze for a second at the sight of George and Sarah in the room. Then, without hesitation, he set the food on the table, crossed to my side, and slipped an arm naturally around me."Catelyn, you must be hungr

George didn't finish his sentence. His hand lifted, reaching to smooth my hair.I turned my head away. His hand froze in midair, his gaze lingering on me for a long time.Then he rolled off the bed, his back to me, voice hoarse. "Go."I struggled to my feet, grabbed whatever clothes I could find from the wardrobe, and slipped them on.At the door, I turned once to look back. His head was bowed, fingers flying across his phone as if sending a message.A bitter smile tugged at my lips. Without another glance, I walked away.Outside, the midnight streets were deserted, fine rain drifting down like threads of ice.I didn't bother with an umbrella, letting the cold water soak me through.I had no idea how long I walked before stopping, sensing the presence trailing behind me. Turning, I saw Jordan standing a short distance away, his figure stretched long and solitary under the streetlamp."Why are you following me?" My voice was hoarse.He shifted awkwardly, words caught on his to
