Chapter 136: Committed

"You're thinking too hard," Keegan suddenly murmured, noticing how still Grace had gone, while her head was resting on his chest. "That's dangerous."

She blinked slowly but didn't lift her gaze. "Hmm?"

"You get all quiet when something's spinning in that pretty head. What is it?" He replied, nudging her gently with his chin.

Grace didn't answer right away but eventually, she sighed and pushed herself up just enough to look at him.

"I want to tell you something..."

Keegan sat up immediately hearing the tone in her voice, untangling his arms from her as if bracing for impact. Whatever it was, it mattered. And the slight edge to her voice made his pulse stutter.

He turned to face her completely with one hand reaching for hers as he searched her face.

"Please," he said quietly, "tell me everything."

Grace gave a faint laugh, when she saw how much worry had gathered in his expression.

"I..." she started, only to be cut off.

"If you're planning to leave me," Keegan sa

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 144: Beloved, The End

    EPILOGUESome people survive quietly.They walk through fire with their mouths shut, and no one ever sees the smoke in their lungs. They wake up every morning with battles still raging in their chest, but still brush their teeth, fold their clothes, answer politely, and carry on like the weight of the world doesn't tremble on their shoulders.Some people live like ghosts in their own lives. Not because they want to disappear, but because they were never taught how to take up space.They are the ones who shrink themselves in crowded rooms. Who apologize before they even speak. Who doubt kindness, brace for disappointment, and flinch at softness like it's a trick.And yet... they keep loving. Somehow. They keep hoping. They keep putting one foot in front of the other, even when their bones are heavy with old grief.They are the ones who have been told they're too much, too quiet, too emotional, too difficult to love. The ones who were taught to earn affection through obedience, to survi

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 143: Tulips

    Chapter 143: TulipsThe wind stirred with a mournful sigh, sweeping low across the cemetery and rustling the brittle grass beneath Keegan's feet. The sky hung overcast, colorless, as if even the heavens had gone quiet in grief. A fine mist clung to the air, too thin to call rain, but heavy enough to settle on his shoulders like a veil.He knelt without a word.The bouquet in his hands was a simple collection of white tulips and forget-me-nots. The petals trembled in the breeze like they, too, had something to mourn. His fingers were tight around the stems and finally began to let go of the flowers.The gravestone before him was newly polished and immaculate, untouched by time. The earth beneath it still looked too fresh.He reached out and brushed his thumb along the carved name.He sighed as the inscription below the name was short and simple."You were loved more than you knew. And you are still."He bowed his head and pressed his free hand flat to the stone as if it could hold toge

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 142: Collapse

    Chapter 142: Collapse"...What? Why not?" Keegan's voice cracked under the weight of disbelief. His brow furrowed, eyes wide with hurt. "Grace, what do you mean no?"Grace slowly stood from her chair, steadying herself against the armrest before walking a few steps away. Her bare feet padded softly against the floor as she wrapped her arms around herself and turned to face him."Why are you suddenly asking me this?" she asked in a trembling and fragile voice. "Can't you see what's happening to me right now?"Keegan stepped forward instinctively, as if drawn by her pain. "Yes, I see exactly what's happening. That's why I'm asking," he said. "Because I don't want to wait another second. Because if I don't ask you now, I'll go crazy knowing that I could've—""You could've what?" she snapped, her voice rising just a little. "Made yourself feel better? Given yourself peace of mind that you married the dying woman before it was too late?"He flinched. "Don't say that," he said, more wounded

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 141: No

    Chapter 141: NoTwo months had passed since Grace had told Keegan everything...her truth, her fear, her illness. She had said the words slowly that night, halting and uncertain, like someone speaking a language they'd only learned in secret. Like someone unsure they had the right to ask for more time in a world that had only ever taught them to live quietly, politely, without complaint.There had been no grand moment. No dramatic music playing in the background. Just a soft, ordinary night, with her sitting across from him, fidgeting with the hem of her sleeve, thinking of all the ways to properly say things she wanted to say.But that night, something shifted in her. The ache of living beside him while carrying a future she was afraid to claim, was heavier than the fear of speaking the truth aloud. Yet, she told him anyway.Keegan hadn't said a word while she told him. And that had been the mercy of it. He didn't try to save her with interruptions or soften the blow with reassuranc

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 140: Quest

    Chapter 140: QuestEvening had stretched soft gold across the skies by the time Keegan's car rolled into the estate's driveway. The second the front gates opened, a smile tugged at his lips.He was home.And she would be waiting.Keegan barely waited for the car to stop fully before reaching for the door handle himself, already loosening his tie, eager to see her face—even just the back of her head with a book in hand or the sound of her humming off-key in the kitchen. Anything.But the second he stepped out of the car, his smile faltered.The estate was quiet. Keegan froze at the foot of the steps as his heart thudded in his chest.He didn't know why the silence made him uneasy, but it did. An that's when a sick thought flickered across his mind. What if she left? What if she ran?It would make sense, wouldn't it? The waving goodbye that morning. The hesitant look in her eyes. What if that had been her way of saying goodbye?He clenched his fists."Sir?" Xy asked, still by the car.

  • Obsession: His Runaway Bride   Chapter 139: Prayers

    Chapter 139: PrayersThe car slowed to a stop in front of the estate's towering gates. Black iron curled like claws around stone pillars, still as severe as she remembered. Grace took a breath and didn't move right away.The silence inside the vehicle was overwhelming until one of Keegan's men in the front seat turned slightly, and spoke in a calm and respectful voice. "We're here, Miss Blackwood."That name still felt like a coat she didn't know whether to keep or burn. It felt too tight in the shoulders, too heavy in the sleeves.Grace nodded as her fingers briefly curled around the door handle before she finally pushed it open.The wind outside smelled like damp earth and iron. The gravel crunched beneath her as she stepped out slowly, like someone walking onto sacred ground, not because it was holy, but because it was haunted.The front of the estate stood tall and unchanged. Stone walls were untouched by time, windows shut tight, the brass knocker on the front doors still polish
