While Dean Holdings trembled under financial pressure, Celine was fighting a different battle far from the boardroom.

The psychiatric hospital room was quiet except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. She sat by the window most days, staring at the compound below without really seeing it.

News about her family barely reached her anymore.

And even when it did, it no longer stirred much reaction.

After the kidnapping incident at Nathan’s lockup, when she had denied her own parents in a de

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 234: Into the Shadows

    The nights had grown unbearably long for Charlotte. Sleep came in fragments — shallow, restless, haunted by flashes of Caleb’s face and the sound of his laughter that now only existed in memory.Every morning felt like a punishment, every hour another reminder that the man she loved was gone.The mansion that once echoed with warmth now felt hollow. She wandered from room to room like a ghost, unable to settle.When Megan, her mother, moved in a week after the burial, Charlotte barely protested.Megan’s presence was a relief and a torment all at once. She meant well — cooking, checking on her, trying to keep conversations alive but Charlotte’s silence was an unmovable wall.That evening, Megan sat beside her on the couch, gently taking her hand.“Charlotte, you have to stop this,” she said softly. “You can’t bring him back by hurting yourself.”Charlotte didn’t respond. Her eyes were fixed on the flickering TV screen, though she wasn’t watching.“I know you’re angry,” Megan continued,

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 233: Search for the Truth

    The night lights of Mills Corp glowed faintly through the glass panels, reflecting the emptiness inside Nathan’s office. The city below was asleep, but Nathan couldn’t rest. He sat by his desk, papers scattered everywhere, his laptop open, his eyes fixed on a digital report that had become his nightly obsession.He rubbed his face with both hands, exhausted, but the thoughts wouldn’t stop coming. Caleb’s face haunted him.Every memory of that night refused to leave his mind.He had been accused, humiliated, and nearly destroyed, and yet something in his gut kept telling him there was more, something carefully planned behind all of it.Marcel stood by the doorway, watching him in silence for a moment. He’d seen Nathan like this before; broken but too stubborn to admit it. “You’ve been at this for hours,” Marcel said finally, walking in. “You need rest, Boss.”Nathan didn’t look up. “Rest?” he muttered. “Rest doesn’t prove innocence.”Marcel sighed, moving closer. “You’ve gone days wi

    The garden was quiet, the wind brushing the flowers as if the world didn’t know how much rage and pain stood between them.Charlotte stopped a few feet from Nathan, her eyes locked on him. Her breathing was sharp, her hands trembling, but she held her ground.Nathan stood with his hands in his pockets, face drawn, guilt resting heavy on his shoulders. “Charlotte,” he began quietly, his voice almost cracking. “I didn’t kill Caleb.”Charlotte’s chest rose and fell as she let out a bitter laugh. “You didn’t kill Caleb?” she repeated, her tone cold and mocking. “You expect me to believe that after everything you’ve done?”He stepped closer, desperation creeping into his voice. “You don’t understand. Someone wants both of us destroyed. I was blind for too long, but now I see it clearly. They’re using Caleb’s death to ruin me and to finish you too.”Charlotte’s eyes narrowed. “Who are you trying to fool now? Another story to buy sympathy?”Nathan exhaled sharply, his jaw tightening. “I made

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 231: The Confrontation

    The heavy air around the city police division still held the echo of tension from few hours ago.Inside, Barrister George Tekena — Nathan’s long-time legal representative, moved with the calm of a man used to chaos.Papers shuffled, signatures crossed the final lines, and within two hours, Nathan Mills walked out on bail, his composure cold but resolute.Outside the station, flashes from reporters’ cameras sliced through the afternoon light.Their voices rose in a flurry of questions, none got an answer.Nathan ignored them all as Barrister Tekena led him towards the waiting car.He paused briefly at the station’s entrance, turning toward Inspector Dennis, who had followed them halfway out.“I know you think I did this,” Nathan said evenly, his voice a firm baritone that cut through the murmurs around them. “But the real killer is still out there, roaming free and possibly plotting another attack. I’m not asking for your help, Inspector. I’m just informing you that I’ll be using every

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 230: A Promise of Justice

    The reception at the Dean residence hummed with low voices and the soft clink of cutlery on fine china.Condolences flowed like a steady stream; friends, business partners and close allies came forward to embrace Charlotte, to offer flowers, to murmur the expected words of comfort.Caleb’s absence was a void that all of them tried to fill with assurances: he had been a good man, a loyal friend, a visionary leader. Some shared old memories with trembling smiles.Others simply shook their heads, still unable to believe he was gone.People she had met in industry approached with measured words. Charlotte nodded and smiled at each of them, a practiced smile pulled thin by pain.She accepted the sympathy, the hands on her shoulder, the brief hugs.She kept a private storm.No matter how many people surrounded her, she still felt alone.Every corner of the house reminded her of Caleb.Every familiar face reminded her of what she had lost.The reception hall was full, yet grief isolated her

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 229: The Arrest

    The wind was heavy that afternoon, sweeping through the wide expanse of the cemetery with a slow, mournful rhythm.The air smelled of fresh earth and grief.The long stretch of black cars parked along the gravel road testified to how deeply Caleb had been loved, respected and now missed.Hundreds of people filled the open space, dressed in black, their faces weighed down by sorrow.The City Mayor was there, standing beside two past governors, and even a handful of senators who had worked closely with Caleb during his lifetime.Business elites, influential friends, and associates from different corners of the city gathered in solidarity, their solemn whispers blending with the hum of the choir singing softly in the background.The atmosphere was heavy.Every face carried sadness.Every conversation was hushed.Every eye seemed fixed on the white casket resting beneath the funeral canopy.Charlotte stood beside Megan and Nelly, dressed in a black gown that clung to her like the grief it

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 35: Promises That Refuse to Die

    Nathan sat on the cold marble floor of his bedroom, his back bent awkwardly against the couch like a man who had given up trying to hold himself together. His shirt was crumpled, the sleeves rolled up unevenly, and his hair, once always neat was now disheveled, falling into his tired eyes. Empty

    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

    "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
