Eight weeks had passed, and the man who had once been completely shattered by loss now appeared different.

Nathan moved with a quieter presence, his voice more measured, his reactions no longer explosive.

To anyone watching from the outside, it seemed as though he had accepted that Charlotte Dean was gone.

To Rosemary and Jennifer, this change was comforting.

It meant their efforts had not been in vain. It meant Nathan had found a way to keep living, even if that life looked nothing like the

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 166: The Celebration of Illusions

    Nathan returned home later that evening, exhaustion clinging to him like a second skin after hours of driving aimlessly through the city. But just as he approached the house, something unusual pulled him out of his thoughts before he even reached the door.The parking lot.It was full.Not just occupied, but crowded in a way he had not seen in a long time. Cars lined the driveway in neat but overwhelming rows, their polished bodies reflecting the dim compound lights like silent watchers. Some of them were familiar, belonging to board members of Mills Corp, directors, and high-profile associates. Others, however, were completely unfamiliar, their presence raising questions in his already unsettled mind.Nathan slowed his steps instinctively, his gaze sweeping across the vehicles with growing suspicion. “What’s going on here?” he muttered under his breath, his voice low, almost swallowed by the night air.His chest tightened.A party?But why had no one informed him?And if it trul

    Eight weeks had passed, and the man who had once been completely shattered by loss now appeared different. Nathan moved with a quieter presence, his voice more measured, his reactions no longer explosive. To anyone watching from the outside, it seemed as though he had accepted that Charlotte Dean was gone.To Rosemary and Jennifer, this change was comforting. It meant their efforts had not been in vain. It meant Nathan had found a way to keep living, even if that life looked nothing like the one he had once imagined for himself.That night, Nathan’s room was dim, the curtains drawn tightly against the glow of the city. The silence inside was broken only by the soft rustle of sheets and the low murmur of voices.Jennifer lay beside him, her head resting lightly against his chest, her fingers tracing absent patterns along his arm. There was an intimacy between them, but it carried a strange weight, as though something unspoken hovered between their closeness.“I love you,” she whisp

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 164: Beneath the Hidden Truth

    Inspector Gerald Ford sat in a quiet corner of the coffee shop, his back straight, his presence firm despite the calm setting. Danny sat upright, his shoulders slightly tense, his fingers loosely wrapped around his cup. He had been watching Gerald closely, waiting for him to speak, knowing fully well that silence from a man like Gerald often carried more weight than words.Finally, Gerald lifted his coffee and took a slow, deliberate sip. He didn’t rush it. He never rushed anything. Then he lowered the cup carefully, his eyes narrowing slightly as they settled on Danny.“Did you find anything on the late Mr. Mills’ attorney?” Gerald asked, his tone controlled but firm.Danny exhaled quietly before answering, as though he had already rehearsed the response in his mind. “Nothing yet, sir,” he said. “I’ve checked records, reached out to contacts, even dug into old case files. The man is… difficult to trace. It’s like he wiped himself clean. No clear address, no recent activity. It’s l

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 163: His Irreplaceable Loss

    Nathan’s lips trembled.His eyes filled slowly, the tears gathering before spilling over. He turned his face to the side, pressing it into the pillow as though hiding from the truth would make it disappear.His chest rose and fell unevenly as quiet sobs escaped him.Regret wrapped around him like chains.Every memory returned with cruel clarity; the years of neglect, the cold silence, the words he wished he could take back. Each one pierced him deeper than the last.Rosemary stood slowly, her movements deliberate as she walked toward the bed.For a moment, her voice softened.“Nathan,” she said quietly, the edge of authority replaced by something unfamiliar, something almost gentle. “If you truly loved Charlotte, then the best thing you can do now is honor her memory by moving on. Let her rest. Don’t destroy yourself like this.”Nathan didn't respond. His attention had shifted.His eyes were no longer on her. They were fixed on the door.His breathing caught suddenly, his entire expr

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 162: The Breaking of Pride and Flesh

    Rosemary Carlos sat stiffly in the hospital chair, her back straight but her hands clasped tightly on her lap as though she was holding herself from falling apart. Her lips moved faintly, forming silent prayers she had not uttered in years. For a woman who had always relied on control, influence, and calculation, this quiet surrender to something unseen felt foreign, almost humiliating. Yet she couldn't stop.The steady beeping of the machines filled the room, each sound reminding her that life hung by a thread.The doctor finally stepped back, removing the stethoscope from Nathan’s chest. He exhaled deeply, the weight in his expression making it clear that this was not just another routine case.“He suffered another episode of gastric bleeding,” the doctor said quietly, his tone calm but heavy with concern. “It was caused by irritation of the stomach lining, aggravated by excessive alcohol and cigarettes. His system has been under severe pressure for months.”Rosemary’s hand flew

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 161: The Wedding of Ashes and Blood

    The hall fell into a silence so deep it felt unnatural, like the stillness of a graveyard where even the wind dared not pass. Every eye turned and fixed on Caleb Briggs as he stood at the center of the moment, unmoving, unshaken, his presence heavy with something far beyond ordinary grief. His shoulders were squared, but not with pride; they carried the invisible burden of a man who had made a decision that would alter lives forever.He turned slowly to Nathan, his gaze steady, his expression carved in stone.“Nathan,” Caleb said, his voice low yet sharp enough to slice through the thick silence, “Charlotte’s health condition deteriorated again… and she passed away two days ago.”A wave of shock tore through the hall.Gasps erupted, sharp and uneven, like the sound of glass breaking across the room.Nathan froze completely.His body refused to move, as though time itself had wrapped chains around him. His lips parted slightly, his chest rising and falling too fast.His eyes locked o

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 67: The Choice to Choose One

    Charlotte's scream echoed through the hollow building as she rushed forward despite the sight of the bomb strapped tightly around Caleb's chest."Caleb!"Her steps were unsteady but determined. The device was large, wired carelessly yet dangerously around him, with a small digital screen blinking i

    The car moved smoothly along the dimly lit road, the hum of the engine the only sound filling the heavy silence inside the SUV. Streetlights flashed past the tinted windows in slow, measured intervals, casting fleeting shadows across Nathan's face. He sat rigidly at the back, his posture stiff and

    By nightfall, the city had grown quieter and more subdued, the earlier rush fading into distant hums of traffic and scattered streetlights that dotted the darkness like small beacons. Nathan stood outside a modest but well-kept apartment building, his posture rigid and tense as he faced Marcel wit

    The urgent call from Marcel turned out to be strictly work-related, though it came at the worst possible time imaginable. A major client from New York—one Nathan had spent years carefully cultivating, had suddenly requested a face-to-face meeting, insisting emphatically that it had to be Nathan hi
