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 precision.

Something about that knock felt wrong: too firm, too impatient, too aggressive.

"I'll get it," she said quietly, already rising to her feet with a sense of foreboding.

Caleb nodded, watching her

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 240: An Unexpected Voice

    The London Business Leadership Summit opened with its usual noise — camera flashes, the murmur of international delegates, the mix of ambition and rivalry thick in the air.But Charlotte barely felt any of it.She sat in the third row of the main conference hall, her fingers lightly gripping her notepad, her mind drifting back to the same place it always returned to now — Caleb, the investigation, and the haunting silence that followed his death.She tried to breathe steadily. Megan's voice echoed in her head: "Go. Clear your mind. Just go." Nelly had said the same thing.They all believed London would give her space, but instead, the noise inside her heart only grew louder.The bustling atmosphere around her only sharpened the emptiness within. Every cheerful conversation, every confident laugh from passing delegates, reminded Charlotte how isolated she truly felt. No change of scenery could silence grief that had settled so deeply inside her, refusing to loosen its grip.Every step

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 239: A Dangerous Revelation

    Nelly sat stiffly in the passenger seat, her fingers trembling against her lap as Marcel drove in silence toward the station.The morning traffic flowed steadily around them, but neither of them paid any attention to it. Nelly kept staring ahead through the windshield, her mind replaying everything that had happened over the last two days.He had argued with her for almost an hour earlier, insisting that they had pushed the line too far already.His words had been firm, leaving little room for negotiation. He had repeated himself over and over, trying to make her understand that what had started as a desperate search for justice had become something far more dangerous.She wanted to keep digging, convinced she could find just one more clue that would break everything open, but Marcel wouldn’t hear it.He told her she had no training, no protection, and no idea how violent men like Roland could be.Each warning had sounded painfully reasonable, yet it did little to quiet the determina

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 238: The Woman in Black

    The night in New York was unusually quiet, but Marcel’s apartment was alive with tension. The laptop screen glowed between him and Nelly, casting pale light across their tired faces, while the air remained thick with fatigue, frustration, and the pressure of a mystery that refused to loosen its grip.Two days had passed since Nelly’s narrow escape at the bar, and the footage she’d recovered was now their only lead.The small apartment looked more like an investigation room than a home. Empty coffee cups sat on the table. Notes were scattered across every available surface. Neither of them had gotten much sleep, yet neither was willing to stop.Marcel scrolled through the files again, replaying the video of the shooting — frame by frame. Roland’s face appeared clearly this time, frozen in the act of pulling the trigger.Nelly’s hands tightened on the edge of the table. “That’s him,” she said under her breath, her voice trembling slightly. “The man who killed Caleb.”Marcel leaned clo

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 237: Echoes Across London

    Charlotte sat quietly in her office, the letter of invitation lying open on her desk. The cream-colored paper rested beside a stack of untouched files and reports that had been gathering for weeks. It was from the Global Business Alliance, inviting her to speak at their annual summit in London.For a long time, she said nothing, only stared at the paper as if it were asking too much of her. The past months had left her hollow, and business felt like a foreign language. Once upon a time, an invitation like this would have excited her. She would have studied every detail, prepared for every session, and looked forward to the opportunity. Now, all she felt was exhaustion. The words on the page blurred together as her mind drifted elsewhere, toward memories she could neither silence nor escape.Megan leaned on the doorframe, watching her. Concern lingered in her eyes as she took in Charlotte's withdrawn appearance. “You should go,” she said softly. “You need this, Charlotte. You’ve be

    Nathan’s phone buzzed on the desk while he was still midway through a meeting with a supplier.He stepped out into the corridor and pressed the screen to his ear.On the other end Inspector Dennis’ voice was sharp, businesslike. “Mr. O’Neil, we’ve been trying to reach you for two days. You were asked to report for questioning. If you’re not at the station in two hours we’ll come to you and place you under arrest by every means necessary.”Nathan started to reply, to explain the board commitments and the chaos of the last week, but the inspector cut him off. “This is not negotiable. You are a person of interest in a very sensitive investigation. Come now.”The words felt colder than the winter air outside. Nathan closed his eyes for a heartbeat, then told the supplier he’d return later.He took the main road to the station, hands gripping the steering wheel because there was no other way to steady himself.At the police station Dennis met him at the entrance with two officers. The int

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 235: The Price of Truth

    She had tried talking first. The bartender’s eyes had slid cold when she showed Caleb’s picture. “You a cop?” he’d asked, trying to size her up.The question had come out casually, but there was something dangerous beneath it. His eyes lingered on the photograph for only a second before returning to her face. The look he gave her made it clear that he was measuring every word she spoke, every movement she made.Nelly had smiled and shrugged, playing casual, but he wasn’t interested.The bar’s atmosphere had turned hostile almost immediately. What had seemed like ordinary customers moments earlier suddenly felt like guards posted at invisible checkpoints. Three men materialised behind her, faces like threats.The bartender had made a cutting gesture with his hand; she understood and left without drama.There was no point pushing further. Not there. Not surrounded by men who looked like they solved problems with their fists before asking questions.That night she’d been shook, but not

    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

The luxurious hotel room was dimly lit by warm bedside lamps, casting s
