"Mom, did you find that fairy tale book?" Celine's voice was low but sharp, each syllable edged with impatience as she spoke into her phone.

She sat on the king-sized bed, still dressed in silk pajamas that clung to her frame.

The luxurious hotel room was dimly lit by warm bedside lamps, casting soft shadows across the plush carpet and elegant furniture.

Outside the tall windows, the city sprawled beneath them, its lights glittering like scattered diamonds, a celebration of what everyone beli

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 165: ...Beneath Calm Waters

    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 160: The Wedding of Silence and Shadows

    Nathan sat in his study, his elbows resting firmly on the polished mahogany desk, his fingers interlocked as though holding himself together by force. His eyes were sharp, focused with a dangerous kind of determination, and his voice carried a calm authority as he gave instructions that would shape the day he had been obsessing over.The air in the room was thick with the scent of leather and aged books, while the chandelier above cast a golden glow that danced across his hardened expression.“Marcel, Mr. Willis,” he said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument, “everything must be arranged exactly as I want it. No suits. No white gown. This wedding will be purely traditional... from beginning to end. Red caps, ivory beads, wrappers, dancers, and if possible, masquerades. I don’t want anything foreign in it. It must show class, but it must also scream our tradition.”Marcel shifted slightly where he stood, his posture respectful but his expression tense. Mr. Willis, who had be

    But just as Nathan was about to pull the door open fully, his phone started ringing inside his breast pocket. The sharp sound cut through the storm raging in his head. His hand froze on the doorknob. For a brief second, he considered ignoring it. Whatever was inside that room could no longer be u

    “Charlotte is actually allergic to peas?” Megan thought, her eyes still widened in shock, her spoon frozen midway to her mouth. For a brief second, her carefully composed face cracked, revealing panic buried deep beneath years of calculation.How unfortunate it was that even a mother did not know

    She reached the corner of the hallway and slid down against the wall, her back hitting it with a dull thud. Her chest rose and fell rapidly as she struggled to breathe. Her hands were shaking so badly she could barely control them as she dug into her handbag and pulled out her phone, her fingers f

    Instantly, Celine’s earlier fierce expression vanished as if it had never existed. Her face softened, lips curving into a sweet, practiced smile that didn’t quite reach her eyes.“Nathan, you’re home,” she said slowly, a light giggle following her words as she stepped toward him.Nathan didn’t resp
