"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 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

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 159: Blood, Betrayal, and Hidden Truths

    Charlotte’s earlier accident caused her a severe internal bleeding. The trauma had not only weakened her physically but had also triggered acute organ failure, a complication that placed her life on a thin, uncertain line. Her kidneys had begun to shut down gradually, unable to cope with the stress her body had endured. The doctors had fought tirelessly, trying every possible treatment, but her condition refused to stabilize. At this point, they could only hope for a miracle. But it seemed fate had a different plan for Charlotte.***********Rosemary stepped out of the mall slowly, her movements measured and composed as always, her posture straight despite her age. Her face carried its usual calm authority, the kind that demanded respect without effort. In both hands, she held grocery bags filled neatly with items she had personally selected, unwilling to trust such tasks entirely to staff.She had just paid for everything and was already thinking ahead, mentally organizing her re

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 158: Fragile Hearts and Final Decisions

    Caleb adjusted the blanket carefully over Charlotte as he laid her gently on the bed. Her body felt lighter than it should, too fragile in his arms, and that thought alone tightened something deep inside his chest. Her lips trembled with a weak smile as her eyes fluttered half-open, struggling to remain present.“I’m fine,” she whispered, her voice faint but stubborn, carrying that familiar strength that both comforted and worried him. “You should return to work. Don’t waste your time watching me like this.”He hesitated, standing over her for a moment longer than necessary, his gaze searching her face as if trying to read what she refused to say. Then he reached out and brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, his fingers lingering slightly against her skin. “Rest first,” he said softly. “Work can wait.”She didn’t argue further, but the faint crease in her brows told him she wasn’t convinced.Reluctantly, Caleb stepped away. Minutes later, he found himself in the living room,

    Minutes later, minutes that stretched and warped into something that felt like eternity, the night exploded with sound.Ambulances screeched to a halt. Police vehicles surrounded the wreckage, their red and blue lights flashing violently against the trees, the broken road, the twisted metal. Siren
