Megan stepped out of the hospital entrance into the cool evening air. The automatic glass doors slid shut behind her with a soft mechanical sound, but inside her, everything was loud.

Her head throbbed with numbers: surgery costs, medication expenses, consultation fees — figures that seemed impossible to reach.

She inhaled deeply, trying to steady herself.

The air outside felt different from the sterile hospital atmosphere. It was freer, but it did not calm her. Her mind was racing.

She began

  • 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

  • May We Never Meet Again   Chapter 236: Shadows From the Past

    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

  • 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

    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

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 s
