Regretting the Chase Chapter 9
My words carried not a single trace of warmth.The tears Charles had been holding back finally broke free, streaming down his face. He kept his head low, his voice choked with emotion. "But I can't let you go..."If he had truly let go, he wouldn't have shown up here in the first place. But whatever he felt had nothing to do with me anymore."That's your own problem.""Selena, I'm sorry," Charles mumbled. When he finally lifted his head, he asked me with the utmost caution, "Can we still be friends in the future?""No." I turned away without looking back, walking straight toward Brandon.Brandon took my hand. He didn't ask a single question about our conversation, though he did shoot a sharp, possessive glare in Charles's direction.During dinner that evening, I took the initiative to tell him about Charles.Brandon listened with immense patience. When I finished, he gave me a gentle smile and stroked my hair. "I'm really glad you shared all of this with me."Though, hearing

Brandon noticed the shift in my expression and followed my gaze to look behind him.His brows furrowed slightly as he watched Charles slowly walking toward us."Do you know him?" Brandon asked.A slight ripple surged through my chest, but I suppressed it without showing a trace of emotion."I do," I let out a breath, standing up. "Let's go."I reached out and took Brandon's hand.Just as we turned to leave, Charles jogged over to catch up. "Wait."He cut us off, stepping right in front of us. His eyes fell upon my left hand, which was laced with Brandon's, a deep scowl forming between his brows."Selena, I finally found you. I went to Norbridge so many times, but I could never track you down."Over the past year, I had been staying at Brandon's house, often spending the nights there. Other times, I was traveling to different cities with his mom to attend jewelry exhibitions and auctions. My schedule was unpredictable, making it virtually impossible for Charles to find me even
Regretting the Chase Chapter 7
A month had passed, and I still hadn't responded to a single message from Charles.Unable to get through to my phone, he could only keep fooling himself into believing that I would come back once my anger faded.After calming down, Charles had already mapped out a plan in his head.Once I returned, he would go to the armory and clarify things with everyone who was present that day, claiming it was all just a big accident. That way, the management of the armory could be handed back to me.As for the rest, he would take his time to talk things through with me, no longer rushing the wedding.Once I had completely forgiven him, he would propose to me all over again, and we would hold another engagement party.It was only by telling himself this story that the aching pain in Charles' chest subsided a little.He comforted himself with these thoughts every day, yet after another month went by, there was still no word from me.Finally, Charles couldn't take it anymore. He drove out to

When Susie caught sight of me, her eyes were bloodshot. She walked over and threw her arms around me, tears streaming down her face as she sobbed."I finally found you! I’ve been looking everywhere. Selena, why did you leave without saying a single word?""Why are you here?" Feeling uncomfortable, I reached out and pushed her away.Susie’s fingertips trembled slightly. She looked at me, her eyes filled with relief. "I’ve been searching everywhere for you. Even if you were mad at Charles, you shouldn't have stopped taking my calls. Aren't we best friends?"Once upon a time, I truly considered Susie my best friend. However, that wasn't the case anymore.I offered no response, my expression remaining completely flat.She grabbed my hand and pressed on, "Anyway, I really have to thank you for taking the fall for me that day. If it weren't for you, I probably wouldn't even be allowed to manage the arms trade."I snatched my hand back and couldn't help but let out a cold scoff."I di

I moved into our home in Norbridge with my parents, and Mom set aside her work just to spend time with me at home.She didn't pry, simply comforting me. "Now that you're back by our side, our minds are at ease. Whatever you want to do from now on, we will support you completely."I wanted to study design. It was something I had always been passionate about, but back then, that career path couldn't assist Charles in his endeavors. So, I had given it up.Now, I wanted to walk down that path again.My parents were fully supportive, immediately setting up my courses and hiring top tutors to help me prepare my applications to the best design academies.During this past week, Charles hadn't sent me a single text. Only Susie messaged me now and then, trying to persuade me.[Forget it, Selena. Don't hold a grudge against Charles.][Even about my injury, I never intended to blame you. Just send out a blast text to all your friends saying you were just throwing a fit and that the wedding

Charles’ voice rang out louder and clearer with every word.I froze in place, my expression grave.Susie quickly interjected, "What are you doing? Selena came all the way here out of good intentions to see me!"Charles acted as if he hadn't heard her, his sharp tone aimed squarely at me without holding back. "You're still as selfish as ever, never bothering to think about anyone else."I turned my head slightly away to hide my reddening eyes, fighting with everything I had to keep from crying.Noticing my state, Charles toned down his aggression, softening his voice. "Just apologize to Susie, and we'll call it even."He reached out to grab my hand, but I stepped to the side, dodging his grip. "Don't touch me. I'm not your fiancée anymore.""Enough, Selena!" Charles' expression turned icy cold. "You went around broadcasting our cancelled wedding; that should be enough to vent your frustration. I don't hold it against you, so stop throwing tantrums and refusing to let it go."Sus
