I wasn’t sure if I had heard Dorry correctly. Her words were barely clear between her sobs. I was also afraid to ask—afraid she might take it the wrong way. Instead of making peace, we might end up fighting again. So, I chose to stay quiet and just let her speak.

"I came back, Nelson. I came back for you!"

I covered my mouth in shock. I heard her right. She really did come back. But now that I knew, I didn’t know what to do with it. I didn’t know what to say. My emotions were all over the place—confused, overwhelmed—but above all, I felt an undeniable surge of happiness.

"You… came back? You came looking for me?" A smile broke across my face. "Does that mean you missed me? That you love me too, Dorry?"

I gently wiped the tears that kept falling from her eyes, waiting for her answer.

"Nelson, that doesn’t matter anymore. None of it matters after everything that happened—"

"What do you mean it doesn’t matter, Dorry? It matters to me. It matters to me that you came back because you love

  • Nelson de Vedra: The Outcast Billionaire   (Vianna May and Diego) Chapter 27

    My eyes widened.Why did I call out that man’s name?He was the reason my life fell apart.No matter how many times I try to convince myself otherwise, I can't shake the thought that he was the reason Romeo turned into a monster that night—because of jealousy. Because of a misunderstanding.“That’s what I heard, Mia. Diego…” Nelson repeated, squinting at me.“No… You misheard. Die… ugh… Yeah, that’s what I said. I… I don’t know how to swim. I thought I might die from drowning,” I stammered, fumbling through my pathetic excuse.Nelson frowned, tilting his head as if trying to piece my words together.“Die… ugh. Yeah, I guess they do sound alike. Maybe I just misheard.” He scratched his head and shrugged.I pressed a hand against my chest, quietly sighing in relief. He bought it.“But Mia, I thought you said you were cold? Why are you sweating so much?” he asked, wiping a bead of sweat from my forehead.“Hah… It’s hot! My clothes are almost dry now. Stop talking so much and let’s go.”I

    I froze mid-step, my heart pounding wildly, my hands turning cold and clammy.“Dorry, I’ll go ahead,” I stammered before speed-walking away, not even waiting for her reply.By the time I reached the hut, I was sweating and restless. I quickly peeled off my diving suit—it felt like I was about to faint from the heat and tightness, not to mention the conversation I’d overheard earlier.Why? Of all the people in the world, why did Diego’s ex-fiancée have to be the one I crossed paths with on this island?What now? I couldn’t stay still—I kept pacing back and forth, my thoughts in chaos. What if Diego suddenly showed up here? What if they got dragged into my mess?I couldn’t let that happen. That’s exactly why I chose to run away— for the sake of the people I cared about. If avoiding Dorry was what it took to protect them, then I would do it. I’d leave this island if I had to.I had no idea what happened between them or why Dorry didn’t show up at their wedding. But I hoped that if they e

    I held my breath the moment I heard Dorry’s name. I froze in my seat, unable to even turn my head. I pulled my hat lower and kept my gaze down.But from the corner of my eye, I could still see Dorry standing and cheerfully greeting someone.“Take a seat, Danica!” she said, her voice full of excitement.“Thanks, Dorry. Sorry, I’m late—my husband got a little clingy,” Danica replied, equally cheerful.“It’s fine! Oh, by the way, this is my friend, Mia.”Danica offered her hand, and I shook it, still not daring to look up. My chest tightened with fear—what if she was that Danica? Diego’s cousin…“Mia, are you that hungry that you can’t take your eyes off the food?” Dorry teased.Only then did I realize I’d been staring at the dishes too hard.“Yeah… I’ve been starving for a while,” I said, eager to change the subject.“Sorry, Mia. Please, go ahead and eat,” Danica said kindly.Without another word, I started devouring the shrimp.“Are you seriously not going to take off your hat, Mia?!”

    I could still hear Romeo’s angry shouts as I jumped out the window. A cry tore from my throat when my back landed on something hard at the top of the garbage pile below.Despite the searing pain from the cuts and bruises, I forced myself to move. Eyes shut tight, I crawled away from the heap of trash.Tears, snot, and sweat mixed on my face, and I tasted the metallic tang of blood in my mouth. I sobbed uncontrollably, barely able to stand, but still, I pushed myself to walk.I wanted to run to the café and ask for help, but I didn’t want to drag my friends into this. Worse, Romeo might catch up with me if I dared go near the building.I walked away without looking back, ignoring the stabbing pain in my body. A crazy laugh escaped me when I spotted a taxi approaching.“Sir, please... police station!” I begged breathlessly as I scrambled inside. The driver didn’t ask questions; he drove off immediately.I cried harder, burying my face in my trembling hands. He stayed silent, eyes occasi

    I couldn’t get Romeo out of my mind.I spent the whole day lying in bed, but I couldn’t sleep. My chest felt heavy—like I couldn’t breathe.It was already late in the afternoon when I finally decided to go downstairs. My foot didn’t hurt anymore. I needed air. I needed space to think—to ease the weight pressing down on me.“Vianna May, why are you forcing yourself to come down?” Mom exclaimed when she saw me on the stairs.“Mom, please don’t be mad. I’m okay now. I’m just getting restless staying in my room,” I said gently.“But your foot…” she said, clearly worried.“Mom, I already treated it and changed the bandage,” I said, showing her my foot. “Please, let me go out. Just for a little while,” I pleaded as I hugged her.“Fine, you’re so stubborn,” she sighed. “But call me right away, okay? So I won’t worry.”“Yes, Mom, I’ll call you,” I promised, planting a loud kiss on her cheek before letting go.“Take care, and walk slowly!” she called after me. I gave her a sweet smile and a sm

    The car gradually slowed down until it finally came to a stop. Romeo cursed under his breath, pounding the steering wheel again and again.“Are you insane? Why did you take off your seatbelt?!” He threw another punch at the wheel, eyes blazing with fury as he glared at me.“Yes! I am insane—driven mad trying to understand you!”I immediately stepped out and slammed the door behind me. My strides were long, desperate to get away from him. I didn’t care that the road was dimly lit.I just needed space to breathe. To let my heart rest—this heart that aches because of Romeo.I love him. But I no longer understand him. I don’t even know what’s going on with him.I walked faster. In my rush, I twisted my ankle, but I ignored the pain. I slipped off my heels and kept going, occasionally glancing behind me in hopes a taxi or tricycle might pass. Nothing.I’d gone quite far. Fatigue and fear were starting to creep in. The road was empty. My shoes and clutch were heavy in my hands, and my dre
