May We Never Meet Again Chapter 226: The Shattered Birthday
The Cooper mansion glowed that evening — lights glimmering across the long driveway, the soft hum of music drifting from the main hall, and laughter echoing from every corner.It was Megan’s birthday, and Charlotte had made sure everything looked perfect.Guests had begun to arrive, their voices rising above the rhythm of the music.Megan, bright and graceful, was surrounded by her friends, their laughter blending into the cheerful chaos of celebration.But outside, away from the laughter, Charlotte stood by the garden rail, her phone pressed to her ear again. The call went straight to voicemail.Caleb’s number had been unreachable for hours. Her heartbeat grew heavier with each failed attempt.Earlier, she’d called his secretary, the woman had said he left the office around 4 p.m., cheerful, carrying his briefcase as usual. That was the last anyone saw of him.Now it was 6:40 p.m. The party had begun, and still no word from him. The lights, the laughter, the music — none of it seemed
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 225: The Beginning of Redemption
The early morning flight to Houston felt like the longest journey of Nathan’s life. He sat by the window, staring blankly at the clouds, his mind replaying Sophia’s trembling voice over the phone.He couldn’t eat, couldn’t think straight. His fingers tightened around the armrest each time guilt pricked his heart.The cabin was quiet around him. Businessmen typed on laptops, flight attendants moved calmly through the aisle, and a child somewhere behind him laughed softly, unaware of the burdens adults carried.Nathan barely noticed any of it.His thoughts drifted from one disaster to another.The collapse of Mills Corp.Mrs. Okeke walking away.Every memory felt like another stone added to the weight crushing his chest.For years, he had believed he was untouchable.Now everything around him was falling apart.When the plane finally touched down, he wasted no time.A cab was waiting outside the terminal. He forwarded the hospital address Sophia had sent him, and the driver sped off thr
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 224: The Fall
The silence in Nathan’s office was heavy enough to crush him. He had been pacing from the window to the door and back again for almost ten minutes, his thoughts scattered, his chest tightening with every step.He stopped once, staring at the framed photo of his father on the wall — that proud smile, the same office, the same view.“Is this how it ends?” he muttered. His reflection in the glass window looked like a stranger. “Is this how Mills Corp dies?”He cursed under his breath and walked back to his desk. The bottle of whiskey sat there, half-empty, almost mocking him.He poured himself a glass and swallowed it in one gulp.The burn down his throat felt like punishment or maybe relief. He sank into his chair, elbows on the armrest, head heavy with regret and rage.The office that had once felt powerful now felt empty. The polished furniture, the awards lining the shelves, the expensive artwork on the walls — none of it brought him comfort anymore. Every corner of the room reminde
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 223: The Fall Within
The boardroom was unusually cold that morning. Eleven executives sat around the long mahogany table, eyes lowered, hands clasped, the tension was so thick it could choke.The large screen on the wall still displayed the latest financial report: Mills Corp’s market value drops another 20%, adding to the previous 39% decline. Fifty-nine percent total loss in just a few weeks.Nathan sat at the head of the table, shoulders slumped, eyes sunken from lack of sleep.His tie hung loosely, the man who once commanded boardrooms now looked like someone fighting ghosts.“Fifty-nine percent,” he repeated slowly, his voice hoarse. “We are losing everything my father built.” He paused, looking around. “You are my senior executives, men and women who helped raise this empire. So, tell me…” his voice hardened, “how do we fix this?”No one spoke. Only the faint hum of the air conditioner filled the silence.A few exchanged nervous glances, others pretended to be busy with their pens or notes.Nathan
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 222: A Mother’s Return
Saturday mornings were usually calm, a day the world slowed a little to catch its breath. But not this one.The television screens across the country buzzed with a single headline: “Nathan Mills and Wife Finalize Shocking Divorce — Mills Corp in Crisis.”On Global Business Network (GBN), the anchors sat in their elegant studio, faces solemn yet intrigued.The segment was titled Corporate Scandals: When Love Breaks the Ledger.“Public reaction has been massive,” said the male anchor, flipping through his notes. “The divorce between billionaire Nathan Mills and his wife Jennifer has gone viral, trending across all platforms for the past twenty-four hours. Some sympathize with Mr. Mills, others think this is karma for years of questionable corporate dealings.”His co-host, a woman with sharp eyes and an even sharper tone, adjusted her mic. “Beyond the drama,” she said, “what concerns analysts is how this scandal is bleeding into Mills Corp’s stability. Stocks have dropped nearly forty p
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 221: The End of a Family
The moon was high that night, its pale light spilling softly into the children’s room.Melina lay on her bed, flipping through her school notebook, while Daniel sat opposite her, his little legs swinging off his own bed.The silence between them felt strange, heavy and uncertain.After a moment, Daniel broke it. His tiny voice trembled. “Melina… are Mummy and Daddy getting a divorce?”Melina’s head shot up, her face tightening. “What? Who told you that?”“I… I heard the guards talking,” Daniel said, his voice low. “They were saying Mummy and Daddy are fighting again. They said Daddy doesn’t want Mummy anymore.” His lips quivered as he spoke.Melina’s heart skipped. She tried to laugh it off, but her throat felt tight. “Hey, don’t listen to them, okay? Grown-ups talk too much.”“But… is it true?” Daniel pressed, his eyes glistening.Melina got off her bed and went to sit beside him. She took his small hands in hers. “Look at me,” she said softly. “Mummy and Daddy love each other. Maybe
May We Never Meet Again Chapter 36: Too Late to Save
He sat there with Charlotte’s phone cradled in both hands, his thumbs hovering over the screen as though he was afraid that one wrong touch might make everything disappear. The room felt unusually quiet, the kind of silence that rang loudly in the ears. Slowly, deliberately, Nathan opened the phot

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
