Chapter 5

ผู้เขียน: Candied Moon
Darkness pressed in from all sides. I had no idea how long I had been trapped beneath the rubble.

The frantic shouts of rescue teams leaked through the shattered concrete, faint and muffled.

I parted my lips to call out, but my parched throat couldn't force out a single sound.

It seemed I really was going to die here.

"Clara! Clara Hall!"

A raw, agonizing scream pierced through the cracks in the stone slabs, accompanied by the frantic barking of a search dog.

Piece by piece, the heavy de

  • Lawrence Long Lost Love   Chapter 10

    When he finally woke up, Lawrence found himself trapped in a pitch-black room. The wound on his neck had been carefully bandaged.He was kept in total darkness for what felt like days, his stomach twisted with excruciating hunger. When food was finally brought in, he devoured it frantically. But within minutes, severe allergic hives flared up across his skin, and his throat began to swell shut.Realization dawned on him. This was Arthur's punishment, forcing him to endure every single agonizing torment I had suffered at his hands.Over the following weeks, Lawrence was fed trigger foods daily. Whenever the reaction turned life-threatening, medical staff stepped in to treat him just enough to keep him alive.They stripped him bare, allowing heavy, intimidating men to mock and touch him freely in the dark.By the time the guards finally dragged him out, Lawrence had been broken down into a hollow, skeletal husk of a man."Get up," a guard snapped, throwing a clean coat over

  • Lawrence Long Lost Love   Chapter 9

    "If that's what your cheap love looks like," I said, my voice dropping to a whisper, "then I'd rather have nothing at all!"Not a single spark of affection remained in my eyes. I looked down at him as if he were a complete stranger.Lawrence opened his mouth, but no sound came out. He couldn't force a single word to defend himself.Yet his ego refused to surrender. He looked up, his raw voice choked with desperation."You loved me for so many years... how could you possibly change your mind so fast?"A bitter laugh escaped my throat."I never actually loved you, Lawrence."Lawrence snapped his head up, his bloodshot eyes wide with sheer terror."Vivian and I shared a rare, sensory connection," I said flatly. "My feelings for you were never mine. “Her intense love for you bled into my mind, tricking me into believing I was the one falling for you."I took a slow breath, stepping closer to Arthur."The only thing I ever wanted was someone who loved me wholeheartedly and uncon

  • Lawrence Long Lost Love   Chapter 8

    Lawrence sprinted straight to the hospital ward, only to find the bed empty. The nurse told him I had already been discharged.Desperate, he tried calling his close friend who managed airport logistics, standardly known among their group as Liam Reed. The call went straight to voicemail.Lawrence had no choice but to head to the private club where their circle usually gathered.The moment he stepped into the venue, a valet mentioned that Liam Reed and a few others had just walked toward the back lounge.As Lawrence approached the doorway, the sound of laughing voices leaked through the heavy mahogany door."Lawrence is out looking for you, Liam," someone sneered."Looking for me for what?" Liam snickered. "He's not actually pissed because I kicked that girl in the ribs, is he? She was the one who—"Before the sentence was finished, Lawrence smashed the door open and hit the room like a sledgehammer.Chaos broke loose.After beating Liam Reed until his face was bloody and swo

  • Lawrence Long Lost Love   Chapter 7

    "Please, Lawrence. Just let me go."That day, Lawrence left the hospital ward like a ghost, completely hollowed out.As soon as my injuries healed, Arthur bought two tickets to Switzerland, desperate to carry me far away from this place.---Lawrence stumbled back to his empty house in a haze.He flipped on the light and caught sight of a slender figure curled up on the sofa. "Clara!" he called out, his voice choked with instant excitement.The moment he got a clear look at her face, his expression hardened into stone.Serena Lucas stirred awake under the bright lights. Seeing him back, she scrambled up and threw her arms around him, her face lit up with delight."You're home?"Lawrence pushed her off without a trace of warmth."I told you to leave," he said, his voice dropping into a dangerous quiet. "Why the hell did you come back?"Sensory shock rippled through her. Serena instantly squeezed out tears, gazing up at him through a wet blur."You saved my life," she whi

  • Lawrence Long Lost Love   Chapter 6

    When I calmly told him I no longer loved him, Lawrence froze. It took him a long moment to force out a response."Are you angry?" he rasped. "Because I didn't get you out first?"I stayed silent. Taking my silence as validation, he scrambled to explain."I only carried that girl out first to protect Vivian's necklace," he stammered, stepping forward. "The second I handed her off, I ran straight back to find you! I—""So my life isn't even worth a necklace?"Even though my heart was completely dead to him, a cold shudder ran down my spine as those words hung in the air.Lawrence went entirely rigid. He parted his lips, but no sound came out.I let out a long, exhausted sigh. "Lawrence, let's just end this miserable marriage. Stop torturing both of us."I never expected that the moment the words left my mouth, tears would spill from Lawrence's eyes.---The last time Lawrence had ever cried was at Vivian's funeral.Back then, he had wept profusely, losing every ounce of his

Clara Hall!"A raw, agonizing scream pierced through the cracks in the stone slabs, accompanied by the frantic barking of a search dog. Piece by piece, the heavy debris above me was hauled away until a beam of sunlight broke through.I squeezed my eyes open and caught sight of a tear-streaked face.I had to be hallucinating. Arthur Daniels was supposed to be overseas. How could he possibly be here?An icy tear fell onto my lips, tasting deeply bitter."Over here! There's someone alive down here!""Clara Hall! Don't you dare close your eyes! Do you hear me?!" Arthur barked, his voice choked and hoarse. "You still owe me!"Heavy footsteps converged a
