Love on the Even Days Chapter 13
Lexi struggled to get the words out. "Edward... I'm sorry."She looked up at me, her eyes glistening with tears."Give me one more chance," she pleaded. "I've finally realized that you're the person who has loved me most in this world. Let me make it up to you. Please.""There is no second chance," I said quietly.The words extinguished the last flicker of hope.A moment later, sirens blared outside. Police officers who had been waiting nearby rushed forward and tackled Lexi to the ground, quickly placing her in handcuffs.Even as they forced her down, she twisted desperately to look for me, calling out over and over."Edward... Edward..."I stood on the side of the road and watched as they hauled her into the back of a police cruiser. When our eyes met, hers were filled with madness and sorrow.I remained detached, looking at her like a stranger.Finley was charged with attempted murder and assault, while Lexi was held responsible for deliberately causing my injuries and lat

The next day, I was dragged out of my house.Someone clamped a hand over my mouth before I could make a sound, and by the time I regained consciousness, I was tied up in an unfamiliar room.Unsurprisingly, the one sitting across from me was Finley. He watched me in silence, his eyes hollow and unsettling."Why did you do this?" I asked calmly.Without warning, he pulled out a knife and drove it into me. Blood splattered across his face, yet instead of recoiling, he smiled darkly."What do you think? Because you had to keep getting in my way. I spent so long trying to get close to Lexi. I was finally about to succeed, and then you ruined everything!"Six months of surviving like a wild animal on Mago Island had broken his mind. Now that he had managed to escape and make his way back, he wanted nothing short of blood.He twisted the knife inside my injured leg, grinding the blade through the wound until fresh blood spilled across the floor. I gritted my teeth against the pain and

After leaving Noruaspire six months ago, I had eventually decided to start over in Maleifen.The news industry there was far more advanced, and many of the journalists I had admired for years were based there.In the beginning, nightmares plagued my sleep. Night after night, I dreamed of Lexi's cold expression and relived the physical and emotional pain I'd suffered because of her.I'd wake in the middle of the night drenched in sweat, my heart pounding as though I were back in that hospital room or hanging helplessly above the ground.The only way I could keep myself from drowning in those memories was to bury myself in journalism.It was said that time healed all the wounds. I didn't believe it at first, but little by little, the nightmares became less frequent.Eventually, I began sleeping through entire nights without waking in a cold sweat, and before I realized it, weeks could pass without me thinking about the people I'd left behind in Noruaspire.Then, one day, I ran int

It wasn't until the Pulitzer Prize ceremony that Lexi finally saw the familiar figure she had been searching for."Edward!" She rushed over and grabbed my arm, her eyes bloodshot and filled with tears. "Where have you been? I've been looking everywhere for you."I frowned and pulled my hand free. "Madam, please respect my personal space."She reached for me again, but another hand came between us and stopped her.She looked up sharply at the woman standing in front of her. She barked, "Get out of my way!"I slipped an arm around Noelle Hayden's waist. "You should be the one leaving."Lexi stared at our intertwined fingers, and panic flashed across her face."Edward," she said softly, almost pleading now, "I was wrong. Please don't leave me."I ignored her and led Noelle to walk away, unwilling to waste my breath.Soon, the ceremony began. Guests settled into their seats as the lights brightened across the stage, and the host stepped forward, his voice carrying through the pack

"So, this was your twisted scheme all along." Lexi glared at him. "Disgusting!""I just wanted a solid backer and a comfortable life. What's so wrong with that?" Finley shot back, abandoning all pretenses. "I'm still better than you. One little temptation was all it took for you to lose control, betray your husband, and sleep with his best friend."Lexi's hands clenched into fists, the veins standing out across the backs of them. But her reaction only fueled his arrogance."You're a cheating slut, and now you're standing here pretending to be some heartbroken wife?" he scoffed, stepping closer. "Give me a break. You betrayed Edward, lied straight to his face, slept with me behind his back, and even pushed him into divorcing you."Every time there was a choice, you chose me and hurt his feelings. You did all of that yourself. I never forced you. Knowing Edward's pride, he is never coming back to you.""Shut up!" Lexi growled through gritted teeth.She raised one hand, and her secu

Inside the envelope was a written confession alongside a recorder.The document contained everything I hadn't gotten to say. As the heir to the Murray family, I had grown up surrounded by wealth, power, and danger.Kidnappings and threats were hardly unusual in my world, so I had always carried a miniature recorder as a precaution.Lexi stared at the device for several seconds before finally pressing the button. A recording began to play, and Finley's voice came through the speaker."Natalie, once Edward Murray is out of the picture, I'll finally have my chance to take his place. Everything Lexi owns will belong to us and our child. Doesn't that tempt you?"Lexi went rigid as she listened to the two of them scheming to get rid of me. By the time the recording ended, she slowly turned toward Finley."Do you have anything to say for yourself?"Finley swallowed nervously, but he forced himself to remain composed."Lexi, you don't believe me?" he explained desperately. "Edward obvi
