"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 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,

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 157: The Breaking Point of Love

    He turned and saw Caleb, his face flushed with anger, standing directly behind Charlotte as though his entire existence in that moment was meant for one purpose alone; to protect her. Caleb’s stance was firm, unyielding, his shoulders squared with a quiet strength that spoke louder than words. His eyes burned with intensity as they locked onto Nathan, carrying a warning that needed no repetition. The harsh sunlight bore down on them, clinging to their skin, making the air feel heavier than it should. A thin line of blood trickled from the corner of Nathan’s mouth, sliding slowly down his chin. His chest rose and fell unevenly, like a man wrestling with something darker than pain, something buried deep inside his soul. For a moment, silence hung between them, stretched thin like a fragile thread ready to snap. Then, suddenly, anger surged through Nathan. His hand clenched into a fist, his arm pulling back, muscles tightening as veins stood out sharply beneath his ski

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 156: The Clash of Broken Bonds

    “Nathan,” Charlotte called the moment she noticed him standing just a few steps away from the house she now shared with Caleb Briggs.Her voice didn’t carry warmth. It carried surprise, tension, and something else she refused to name.Nathan’s head lifted instantly at the sound of her voice, his eyes locking onto her like a man who had finally found what he had been searching for in the dark. His lips parted, his breath uneven, his entire presence screaming desperation.He looked nothing like the composed, untouchable man he used to be. A long coat hung loosely over his shoulders, unbuttoned, barely shielding him from the early morning chill. Beneath it, he wore nothing but a pair of shorts and simple slippers, as though he had rushed out without thinking. His hair was disheveled, his face pale, his lips dry and cracked. Even from a distance, the faint smell of alcohol and cigarettes clung to him.Charlotte froze the instant she fully took him in. Her body stiffened, her fingers ti

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 155: The Return of Authority

    The moment Nathan pulled the handle and swung the door open, his feet froze mid-step. His jaw slackened, his eyes widened, and for a second, he genuinely believed his mind was playing tricks on him.Standing at the doorway was his aunt, Rosemary Carlos.She didn’t look like someone who had come for a casual visit. Her posture was upright, composed, her chin slightly raised in that familiar authoritative way that used to silence rooms. One hand gripped the handle of a large traveling bag, the kind that carried more than clothes; it carried intention. That bag alone told Nathan everything he needed to know. She wasn’t visiting. She had come to stay.“Aunty…” Nathan’s voice cracked, disbelief lacing every syllable as his eyes scanned her face, searching for warmth that wasn’t there.Rosemary ignored him as she stepped into the house slowly, her heels clicking softly against the polished floor like a quiet announcement of dominance. Nathan instinctively stepped back, his movements slo

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 48: Blood Debts

    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

    A sharp knock echoed through the apartment, cutting through the fragile calm that had settled in the room like a knife through silk. Charlotte stiffened instantly, her entire body going rigid. Her hands paused mid-movement as she packed the ointment back into the first-aid box with careful precisi
