Moments later, the driver helped to carry Charlotte's luggage out of the house and into the waiting cab. The yard was quiet, almost eerily so, as if the house itself was holding its breath.

Charlotte stood by the car, her hands folded calmly in front of her, her posture straight despite the dull ache still lingering in her body. She was dressed simply, nothing flashy, nothing that drew attention.

For once, she wanted to leave quietly, without drama, without tears.

Just as the driver shut the

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 123: The Truth Discovered

    The station was unusually quiet that afternoon, the usual hum of activity replaced by an uneasy stillness that lingered in the air like something waiting to happen. Most of the officers had been deployed earlier following the incident involving Charlotte’s accident, leaving only a handful behind to maintain order within the building. Desks that were normally occupied now stood empty, papers neatly arranged but untouched, and the faint ticking of a wall clock seemed louder than it should have been.Into this near-empty space walked an officer, his steps measured and deliberate as he held a file firmly under his arm. His eyes moved briefly across the room, taking in the reduced presence of personnel before he continued forward without hesitation.His destination was clear.Gerald’s cell.The iron bars stood as a harsh reminder of the situation, separating Gerald from the rest of the station, yet his posture inside remained composed, his presence still commanding despite the circumsta

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 122: The Sudden Discharge

    Nathan stormed into the hospital like a force that could not be contained, his presence alone sending waves of unease through the reception area as the automatic doors swung open behind him with a sharp mechanical hiss. His footsteps were heavy and purposeful against the tiled floor, each step echoing with authority and barely restrained fury as he approached the front desk, his eyes scanning the room like a predator searching for its prey.“I need the room Charlotte Dean was admitted to,” he said, his voice sharp, controlled but carrying an edge that made it impossible to ignore.The nurse at the reception looked up, startled by the intensity in his tone. Her fingers froze over the keyboard, her lips parting slightly as she struggled to respond, clearly overwhelmed by the man standing before her.“Speak, god damn it!” Nathan burst out suddenly, slamming his hand hard against the desk, the loud bang causing several people in the waiting area to jump in fear while a few nurses nearby

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 121: Ashes and Answers

    Sergeant Daniel Reeves and his team of officers arrived at the scene of the accident with urgency, their vehicles pulling to a halt one after the other as flashing lights illuminated the dark stretch of road. The smell hit them almost immediately as they stepped out, thick and heavy in the air, a mixture of burnt metal, fuel, and something far worse. What they saw before them was not the aftermath of a simple crash.It was devastation.The police vehicle that had been assigned to transport Charlotte was no longer recognizable as a car. It had been reduced to a blackened, twisted shell, its frame mangled beyond repair. The impact had forced it off the road where it had crashed violently against a large stone formation. The explosion that followed had done the rest, leaving behind nothing but charred remains and scattered debris.Firefighters were already on the ground, working through the wreckage with controlled urgency, while paramedics stood nearby, ready to assist with whatever

    “What problem? Speak!” the commissioner snapped sharply, his voice cutting through the room with authority as he turned fully toward Daniel, his expression tightening with irritation at the sudden interruption.Daniel swallowed, the tension visible in his face as he struggled to maintain composure under the weight of the moment. “Sir… I just got a call,” he began, his voice slightly unsteady despite his effort to remain professional. “There’s been an accident with the police car conveying Charlotte back home.”The words landed heavily.Silence followed immediately.The commissioner froze, his expression stiffening as the implication of those words settled in. For a brief second, even the air in the room seemed to stop moving.Nathan stood still as well. Completely frozen.The confidence that had surrounded him just moments ago seemed to vanish, replaced by something else, something raw and unguarded. His jaw tightened slightly, and for the first time in a long while, his composure

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 119: The Trap Tightens

    On their way back to the station, the atmosphere inside the police vehicle was heavy with silence, the kind that pressed against the skin and made every passing second feel longer than it should. Gerald sat at the back, his hands still cuffed behind him, his shoulders tense as his eyes remained fixed on Daniel, who sat in the front passenger seat beside the driver. The city moved past them outside the windows, lights flickering by in a blur, but Gerald’s attention was nowhere near the outside world. His mind was locked on one thing.“Who are you working for?” Gerald finally broke the silence, his voice firm, edged with restrained anger. “Who set this up?”Daniel didn’t respond.He didn’t even turn.The driver kept his eyes on the road, his hands steady on the wheel as though he hadn’t heard anything at all.Gerald leaned forward slightly despite the restraints, his gaze sharpening. “I’m talking to you, Daniel,” he pressed again, his tone rising. “Who the hell are you working for?”S

    “Have you gone insane, Sergeant?” Gerald demanded, his voice rising sharply with disbelief and anger as he stared at Daniel, his chest rising and falling heavily from the intensity of everything that had just happened. “Or is this some kind of joke?”“This is no joke, Inspector Ford,” Daniel replied firmly, his tone controlled and cold, his posture straight as he faced Gerald without flinching. “We’re here not just for rescue, but on order for your arrest—”“On what crime?” Gerald cut in sharply before he could finish, his eyes narrowing as he took a step forward, his anger now fully evident in his expression.Daniel paused for a brief moment, as though measuring his words carefully, his gaze steady on Gerald. The tension between them thickened, the surrounding officers standing alert, their hands still resting on their weapons as they watched the exchange unfold.“On dealings and possession of illegal firearms, and drugs,” Daniel finally said, his voice firm and clear, each word lan

    Mrs. Shaw sat on the edge of Charlotte’s bed, carefully dabbing ointment onto the raw wound on her wrist. Her movements were gentle, but the anger in her eyes burned fiercely. Every time she glanced at Charlotte’s bruised cheek or the swelling around her wrist, her jaw tightened.“How could your p

    “Charlie sis,” Celine called again, her lips curved into that familiar fake smile that never reached her eyes. “To celebrate my wedding with Nathan next week, Mom and Dad booked a private dining room at Trans-Hilton Hotel. You should come too.”The words settled in the room like dust.The name of t

    Celine stood frozen for a split second, watching the way Nathan’s grip tightened around Charlotte’s wrist, watching the way his brows knit together as if some buried memory was clawing its way to the surface. Panic surged through her chest. Her heart raced so loudly she was sure everyone around co

    About a week later, the pale morning light filtered weakly into Charlotte's hospital room. The smell of antiseptic hung in the air, heavy and unchanging. Charlotte sat on the edge of her hospital bed, slowly buttoning up a loose cardigan over the thin gown she had been wearing for days. Her movem
