"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 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 154: A Desperate Man’s Resolve

    Nathan Mills lay stretched across the long couch, his tall frame barely contained by its length, his body wrapped beneath a thick blanket that hid the soaked clothes clinging stubbornly to his skin. His breathing came unevenly, rising and falling in unstable rhythm, as though his body could not decide whether to rest or to remain trapped in the chaos of the night he had just endured. His lips were dry, slightly parted, and the faint, unmistakable smell of whiskey lingered heavily in the air around him.Mr. Willis stood nearby, his tall figure still composed, yet the worry etched across his aged face betrayed the calm he tried to maintain. His eyes moved slowly from Nathan to Marcel, lingering on the younger man seated across from the couch. Marcel sat stiffly, his elbows resting on his knees, one hand pressed against his face as if trying to push away the exhaustion weighing heavily on him.“Mr. Marcel” Mr. Willis said at last, his voice low but steady, though it carried the weight

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 153: A Love That Refused to Return

    The rain poured without mercy, cascading from rooftops, splashing violently against the pavement, soaking every inch of the compound as though the sky had no intention of stopping. Water pooled beneath their feet, rippling with every drop that fell, turning the ground into a muddy reflection of the chaos in the air.Nathan’s knees were already drenched, mud clinging stubbornly to his trousers, staining them beyond recognition. But he didn’t seem to notice. He didn’t care.His world had narrowed to one person.Charlotte.His eyes never left her face, as if looking away would mean losing her again. His palms pressed together in front of his chest, trembling slightly, not out of the cold, but from the weight of desperation crushing him from within.“I was stupid,” he said, shaking his head slowly, his voice hoarse but loud enough to rise above the relentless rain. “I was arrogant. I held your love in my hands and let it slip away like water.”His voice cracked midway, but he forced him

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 34: Softening Edges

    Charlotte sat behind her desk in the glass-partitioned office section that separated her from the rest of the design team. The space was small but neat, carefully arranged the way she liked it, everything in its place, nothing excessive or unnecessary. She flipped through the file in front of her,

    "Hey, wait!" Johnson stepped forward in panic, his hands stretched out as he tried to block Nathan's path. His voice trembled despite his attempt to sound authoritative, cracking slightly on the last syllable. "Nathan, calm down! Okay? You and Celine just got married. If you kill her, you're going

    That night, the black SUV rolled smoothly through the grand iron gates of the Dean family mansion. The car came to a slow halt in front of the entrance, gravel crunching softly beneath its tires.The driver stepped out first and opened the back door. Nathan emerged calmly, adjusting his suit jack

    "Come, Nathan," Johnson said again quickly, his voice warm and persuasive as he reached for his spoon. He scooped a generous piece of meat from the dish before him and dropped it neatly onto Nathan's plate with practiced ease. "Have some."Nathan glanced down at the plate, then back up at Johnson.
