Never Let Go Chapter 14
Wren leaned against the peeling wallpaper and lit another cigarette.The smoke dispersed under the moonlight, shrouding her beautiful features in the night.“You shouldn’t have chosen her. That’s like telling me that I don’t even have the chance to make up for what I did in the past.”I leaned against the wall. My wound was no longer bleeding, but my legs still felt weak after long periods of standing.I didn’t want to provoke her to anger or respond to her.Silence hung in the empty villa, stretching out with every second.She took huge strides toward me, reaching out and bracing both hands right next to my ears. She lowered her head and leaned in close to me.I could smell nicotine mixed with alcohol on her, along with the smell of the leather seats of the SUV.“You didn’t use to be like this,” she said, her voice turning hoarse. “You used to be so anxious when I fell sick, you’d want to fly back home to be with me. You’d listen to my voice messages dozens of times and tatt

When I turned around, my back hit the car window.Gemma stood right before me, her cinched blazer accentuating her slender waist and the top two buttons of her shirt left undone.The lights in the underground garage shone down on us. Her eyes were slightly bloodshot and her chest was heaving with suppressed emotion.She took a step forward and reached out to hug me at the waist. She plastered her cheek on my chest and I could feel her hot breath against me.Before I could react, she hooked her arms around my neck and pulled my head down. She buried her face into the side of my neck and tightened her hold over me. Her lips rested on my collarbone as she sighed and said with a tinge of indignation, “I haven’t seen you for a week. What are you doing?”My fingers touched her shoulders. Her skin felt hot under the fabric of her shirt.I shut my eyes and remembered that I was a replacement for another man. I opened my eyes once more and pushed her away stiffly.“Ms. Shackelford,” I

When I pushed the door open to the lobby of my office building, the fragrance of a bouquet of champagne roses drifted from the reception desk.I glanced at it before walking into the corridor and into my office, shutting the door behind me.Sunlight filtered through the window and shone on the glass pane on my office desk, right next to the bouquet of flowers. I switched my computer on and retrieved a due diligence report on a merger and acquisition deal from my email and clicked it open.The download bar appeared and I stared at the screen, unable to absorb a single word of the document.Wren’s voice resounded in my mind.Meeting her only thrice.A total of just three meetings from strangers to fiance and fiancee.When I was overseas discussing merger and acquisition deals, I would inspect the target company for three months, conducting due diligence, auditing accounts, and analyzing management structure. I’d even go in person to check whether their washrooms were clean or not.

Wren heard about it ten days before the wedding.She was at a pub, drinking till three in the morning. Zane was with her, and he drank so much his tongue turned numb. He collapsed on the sofa and mumbled under his breath, “Wren, John and Gemma are getting married within days of knowing each other. What exactly does he want? Her beauty? Her identity as an illegitimate daughter of the Shackelfords? I think he just wants those shares…”“Shut up,” Wren said as she slammed her wine glass hard on the table.Instead of shutting up, Zane flipped to his side and went on. “But I heard… Gemma used to have a boyfriend overseas, and they were very close. He later got into an accident, and they failed to resuscitate him. Someone said that John resembles that man very much. “Tell me, how could a cold-blooded woman like Gemma suddenly take a fancy to John? Betting 30 million dollars on him and holding his hand in public, agreeing to a marriage alliance after three meetings. Only idiots will b

The look on Sean’s face changed as he blurted, “But I’m already together with Wren!”He turned to Wren, his eyes bloodshot, and said in a trembling voice, “Wren, say something. Didn’t you say that I’m the only one you like? You said you’d seek justice for me…”Wren remained silent as she stood rooted to the ground. Her jawline was taut, and her fists were clenched. She looked at me with fleeting emotions in her eyes, her mouth pursed in a straight line as she couldn’t manage even a single word.Gemma stood at the side of the crowd, her hand bereft of the wine glass which she had put down long ago. She looked neither at the will nor at Mr. Shackelford, but quietly at me with deep, dark eyes which made me wonder what was on her mind.I gave her a small smile.Mr. Shackelford brought up the betrothal in front of everyone not because he was sentimental, but because he knew how I had performed at Jackson Group’s overseas subsidiary and was confident that I could pull up Shackelford Ent

Right after Mr. Shackelford’s shocking announcement, the door to the banquet hall was opened from the outside.A middle-aged couple hurried in. They were my parents, whom I haven’t seen for two years.The moment Sean saw them, tears streamed down his cheeks as he leaped into my mom’s arms. “Mom! John's back, and he forbade all companies from hiring me! I just want to find a job based on my own merits, but he refuses to give me a chance!”Mrs. Jackson patted his back, her gaze sweeping past Sean’s shoulders to look coldly at me. “Don’t cry. Your dad and I rushed over because we know he’s back to take the reins of the company.”The two of them looked onstage.When they saw the man standing right there, the looks on their faces stiffened.Their fat son, who weighed 340 pounds, was now clad in a smart business suit accentuating his excellent figure, looking like a completely different person.However, their shock was soon replaced by their usual cold demeanor.My mother retracted h
