It had been a month since Katleah surprised him.

Tonight, it was Marco’s turn to return the favor.

Earlier that week, he’d gotten a tattoo inked over his left chest; etched in elegant cursive, the words read, Till Death Do Us Part, My Katleah.

For over three years, their love had only grown deeper. Marco loved her more than he ever thought possible, and Katleah loved him just as fiercely. Now, he stood at his office desk, gazing down at the custom-designed engagement ring that gleamed like a promise in the light. He’d spared no expense. He wanted nothing less than a grand, unforgettable wedding for the woman who had changed his life.

“Boss, you look a little too happy today. Smiling like you just won the lottery, and you’re alone,” James teased as he entered the office, dropping a thick stack of documents onto the desk.

Startled, Marco quickly shoved the ring box into his pocket, scowling at his talkative secretary. James had snapped him out of his happy daydream, ruining the surprise

    Hours Later…Marco jolted awake in a quiet, private room. His body ached, his head throbbed, but one thought snapped through his foggy mind like lightning.Katleah,He sat up, breathless. “What time is it? Why did I fall asleep?” Panic surged through him.He leapt from the bed and flung the door open, storming out to find her. His heart raced as he pushed through corridors until he found Axel seated behind his desk in his office, calmly sipping coffee as if nothing had happened.Marco’s fists clenched.“Axel! Where is Katleah? I need to see her. Right now!”Axel didn’t flinch.“She’s in the morgue,” he replied plainly, like it was just another routine case.Marco’s voice dropped to a guttural growl. “I told you she’s alive. Why did you take her there?!”Axel stood and faced him squarely, his tone steady but heavy with finality.“I’m a doctor, Marco,” he said firmly. “And I’m telling you this as a friend, not just a professional. You have to accept it. Katleah is gone. Nothing can brin

  • LOVE AFTER BROKEN (English Version)   CHAPTER 26 - THE DAY HIS WORLD COLLAPSED

    THE DAY HIS WORLD COLLAPSEDMarco had been waiting outside the operating room for six long hours, yet there was still no sign of Axel. His hands were clenched, pacing relentlessly back and forth along the cold hospital hallway, each tick of the clock stabbing at his nerves. He was slowly losing his mind, haunted by the silence beyond those closed doors.He wanted to barge in. To scream. To pull Katleah back with his bare hands.Another two hours passed. Marco’s body trembled from exhaustion and dread. His eyes were bloodshot, and his breath was shallow from pacing nonstop. Thoughts of Katleah bleeding, unconscious, or worse—it was all too much. Panic gnawed at his chest like a wildfire he couldn’t put out.Suddenly, the door creaked open.Axel emerged at last, but his face was drained of all color, and his shoulders sagged as though the weight of death itself rested on them. He could barely look Marco in the eye.Marco rushed to him and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, his voice

    CHAPTER 25 LOSING HER“Why, Katleah?” he growled. “I gave you everything! My heart, my trust! I loved you more than anyone, and this is what you do to me?”Before she could respond, his hands were on her throat. She gasped and struggled, her fingers clawing at his arms, trying to breathe. Her legs kicked weakly against the sheets. It was only when her face began turning purple that he let go, as if just barely regaining control.Katleah coughed violently, struggling to suck air back into her lungs. Her throat burned, raw from the pressure.Marco flung a handful of photos in her face. They scattered over the bed like leaves in a storm.“There!” he spat. “Look at what you did. Explain that! Was I not enough for you? Was my love, my body, my soul not enough? Do you know how close I am to killing you right now? But no—death would be too easy for what you did.”Tears blurred Katleah’s vision as she stared at the photographs, naked images of her in compromising positions she didn’t remember

    Katleah leaves the hospital after a few days of recovery. Axel had privately talked to her before leaving, and she discovered they were cousins on her mother's side. They kept their relationship a secret from Marco to avoid making it more difficult. Their lives are in danger, so they must be vigilant right now.Marco promptly carried her into their room upon their arrival at the Mansion. "Baby put me down.''He just kissed her while his seductive eyes stared at her."What are you trying to say with those looks?" Her words betrayed the nervousness and excitement in her heart."I need to make up for the days I didn't get enough rest, babe." His sexy response took her aback."Huh? You should get some sleep as soon as possible. ""That's why, sweetie, only you can give me strength," he said tenderly, making her hair stand on end. She panicked when she felt her back against the soft bed. "You're flirting," she told Marco, making him laugh."It's always been this way with me and you." He s

    "Boss, here are your clothes, it's been five days since you didn't come home." James, who had been keeping an eye on Marco, said. He had recently arrived at the hospital and couldn't help but feel bad for his boss's current predicament. Marco looked at him, his eyes puffy from waiting for his wife to wake up. "Thank you, James. Just put it there, go back to the office, and bring all the papers I need to sign here to the hospital," Marco replied sluggishly. James stared at his boss in disbelief as he sat on the side of Katleah's bed, holding her hand. His clothes and hair are messy, and he often misses meals because he only pays attention to his wife. James left the hospital and went straight back to work. In the mall parking lot, Sandra was about to get in her car when someone grabbed her hand. She winced at the man beside her. "Raven?" she exclaimed. "What's wrong?" she demanded. "Sandra! You're playing tricks without telling me your plan?" Raven argued. "So? Raven, I'm just ge
