My Last Twelve Hours as His Wife Chapter 10
Looking into Evan's teary eyes, I calmly crushed his last shred of hope. "Evan, you can't make it up to me. You can't make up for the late nights I endured alone, you can't make up for the agony of losing our baby, and you can't make up for the five years of grievances that consumed me. "When I needed you most, you were nowhere to be found. When I was at my lowest, you were the one kicking me down. Now that I've dragged myself through hell and built the life I always wanted, your change of heart is completely meaningless!" The blood receded from his face until he was completely pale, and his body swayed as if he might collapse at any moment. His voice cracked as he pleaded, "I know I can't make up for the past, but I can make up for the future! I will pour everything I am into loving you for the rest of my days. Won't you let me?" I gently shook my head. My eyes were crystal clear and filled with detachment. "That won't be necessary. There is no longer any room for you in my futu
My Last Twelve Hours as His Wife Chapter 9
After more than a year of hardship, my vision of the world had become broader, while my attachment to romantic feelings and personal emotions had faded. Not far away on the beach, a tall, slender figure stood perfectly still. After a year apart, Evan looked drastically different. He had lost a lot of weight; his jawline was sharp and angular, and his eyes bore a deep-seated, unshakable melancholy and fatigue. His once arrogant and piercing gaze now held nothing but weariness and haggardness. He stared at me, and his gaze quivered. His body stiffened slightly, as though he couldn't believe that the person he had spent a year desperately searching for had finally appeared before him. After a whole year, he was finally beholding the silhouette that had haunted his thoughts day and night. He walked up to me, his pace frantic and unsteady. The arrogance, assertiveness, and nobility he once wore like armor had dissolved, leaving behind nothing but utter humility and trepidation. Ri

"That's enough. Go wash up and get yourself together. Don't let others make a laughingstock out of you. "The only daughter of the jewelry tycoon is returning to the country the day after tomorrow. I want you to clear your schedule and pick her up from the airport yourself." Chloe's intention was crystal clear. Evan also knew that he should comply with Chloe's arrangements. After all, if his grandfather hadn't forced his hand back then, he would've married an heiress from a prestigious family that actually matched his pedigree. Consequently, he did as he was told. He cancelled all of his corporate meetings and personally drove to the airport.Yet, the entire way there, his mind was flooded with memories of the moments he had shared with me. While he was waiting at a red light, a news alert suddenly popped up on his phone. "Fiona Jennings, a Researcher at the Institute of Biological Sciences, Has Made Waves Internationally With Her Newly Published Paper, 'The Impact of Extreme C

Evan's departing steps came to an abrupt halt. He spun on his heel, glaring daggers at Astrid. "What did you just say?"Before she could respond, the realization hit him. "So, you were the one who sent me Fiona's miscarriage report." Even though he framed it as a question, his tone was unequivocal.Sensing the monstrous rage rolling off him, a wave of fear gripped her heart. However, she was already past the point of no return. Forcing herself to remain calm, she yelled at the top of her lungs, "That's right. I'm indeed the one who sent you that report, and I'm also the one who let Fiona go! "Evan, do you know why Fiona miscarried? It was because she caught you hooking up with another woman in your office, and she accidentally fell down the stairs. "Even I could unearth these things with ease, so I refuse to believe the all-powerful CEO of Beckett Group couldn't. At the end of the day, you just didn't give a damn about your own wife. No wonder Fiona left so decisively!"After he

My whereabouts became a total mystery, even to Astrid, the woman who had helped me escape. I vividly remembered the look she gave me before I left that night. At the time, her eyes had been filled with triumph and ridicule. She must've thought that she had driven me out, that I was a loser running away with her tail between her legs. Little did she know, I had already secured a lifetime placement with the national polar research expedition. I wasn't admitting defeat, nor was I running away. I was starting over.I had always been a brilliant mind in biological research. Back then, for Evan's sake, and to protect a marriage I believed would work out, I'd willingly clipped my own wings. I traded my lab coat for an apron and confined myself within the four walls of the Beckett residence. I'd turned down national-level research projects and reined in all my ambition, solely to match his pace and fit into his world. Yet, after pouring my heart out for five years, all I had received

Before I could finish, a large hand clamped violently around my throat. "Why did you hide it from me and get an abortion? Why?""I didn't." I shook my head. All the warmth drained from my eyes until only a dead, icy chill remained. "Evan, you simply never looked at me. You never cared enough to notice." Evan was completely blinded by rage. He wouldn't listen to a single word of my explanation. He snatched my suitcase away and hurled it to the floor. "You think you can walk away unscathed after killing my child? Dream on! Without my permission, you aren't going anywhere!" he bellowed, leaving no room for discussion.A second later, he grabbed my wrist and dragged me upstairs to the guest bedroom, shoving me inside and locking the door. "You're going to atone for what you did to my child!" The cold door shut out the light from the hallway and completely severed the last thread of my attachment to Evan. Leaning against the freezing wall, I let out a silent, derisive chuckle. I was
