Chapter 127

Penulis: Gathered Light
The screen lit up with a photo of Penelope. She was wearing lingerie, posing with a sultry smile.

"Gene? What's wrong?" Jacklyn's voice drifted from across the table, making Eugene flinch.

He hid away his phone and lied, "I was thinking about our days back then."

He looked up and smiled. "Jackie, I know I've let you down. I've made mistakes. I promise I'll love you properly in the future. You won't have to suffer for anything ever again."

For a moment, he looked like the man he once was. Jacklyn stared at him, and the memory surfaced.

Years ago, he knelt on one knee, telling her she was the only woman he would ever love.

Back then, she had believed him. Now, those sweet words were just a result of his guilt. They were cheap and disgusting.

She lifted her cup and took a sip, masking the tears building in her eyes. "It's alright," she said gently. This would all be over soon. Everything would come to an end.

Outside, the night pressed against the window. Jacklyn was still w

  • Save the Tears for Someone Who Cares   Chapter 206

    Jacklyn wasn't some naive, wide-eyed girl. She knew exactly what Liam was doing and had seen it coming for a while now.But after everything she'd been through, she just didn't have it in her to start over. What she'd been through with Eugene had left its mark. Love scared her now.When she didn't say anything, the light in Liam's eyes dimmed. He stepped around the dining table and crouched before her, meeting her gaze.Cornered, she finally spoke, "Liam, I-I…"His sudden confession had thrown her completely off balance. She was terrified of saying the wrong thing and ruining the easy friendship they had.Liam's voice was soft when he said, "I'm not saying this to push you one way or the other. I just couldn't keep it in anymore. I've been holding this in for so long, so I had to let it out. I really hope this didn't come off as too much."The moment the words left his mouth, regret hit him like a punch to the gut. He shouldn't have said anything, not when he knew Jacklyn still w

    Eugene picked up the strands, his gaze clouded with turmoil. He hesitated for a long moment, then finally let his hand fall.He couldn't hand them over to the police. He was terrified that the body really was Jacklyn. And if it was, what would he even have left to live for?Just as the thought crushed down on him, his phone rang, sharp and sudden.It was the police station. They were urging him to hurry.Eugene's expression suddenly hardened with resolve. Even if the odds were one in a million, he wasn't about to risk missing the chance to prove it wasn't Jacklyn.In the end, he handed the hair over to the police. They told him the DNA test would take some time and that they'd get in touch once the results were ready.That meant he'd be left to stew in agony until then.…Back at her home overseas, Jacklyn kept staring at the ultrasound image of her tiny, barely formed embryo. The faint outline warmed her heart and lifted some of the gloom that had been hanging over her lately.

    The murmurs around Eugene slowly faded, and every eye turned to him, filled with pity and sorrow.The officer saw the grief on his face and stepped aside without a word.Eugene staggered forward, his legs barely carrying him. Just before he reached the white shroud, they gave out. He dropped to his knees with a dull, heavy thud."Mr. Lloyd, we need you to confirm if this is your wife," an officer said, bending down. His hand hovered over the shroud. "Please prepare yourself."Eugene's eyes were rimmed with red. He shut them for a moment, then gave a small nod. "Do it."The white shroud was slowly pulled back, revealing a waterlogged face. It was so bloated that it was impossible to tell the gender, let alone recognize any features.The sight hit Eugene like a blow. He stood frozen, mind blank, unable to make sense of what he was seeing."It's…"He wanted to deny it, but then his eyes locked on the bracelet, cinched tight around the corpse's right wrist.The instant he recogniz

    Eugene dragged Penelope onto the couch without a second thought.He didn't hold back. Every movement was cruel, sending sharp waves of pain through her body. But Penelope didn't make a sound. She knew that any protest would only make things worse.She took slow breaths, her lips trembling from the pain. Time became a blur. She couldn't tell how long it went on. Eventually, it ended.Eugene got dressed. Then, he gave her one last look, his eyes full of disgust as they swept over her naked body.Without saying a word, he walked out.The slam of the door jolted Penelope from her daze. She lay sprawled on the couch, her eyes slowly coming back into focus.She propped herself up halfway on the couch, using what little strength she had left to tug a garment over her body. Even that small motion lit her nerves on fire.She didn't get it. Jacklyn was gone. So why did her grip on the Lloyds still linger like a curse?Penelope was the one carrying the heir. So why was she the one left br

    The outcome was no surprise.Jacklyn gave a slight nod, her face unreadable. "Eugene and Penelope did this to themselves."Along the coast, lights blinked on as the sky darkened.Stiff from sitting still so long, she shifted and turned to Liam. "Let's head back."…Back in Cyrelia, Penelope clutched a tattered doll with a name tag stitched with Jacklyn's name, driving a pair of scissors into its body with brutal, relentless jabs.With every stab, the rage in her bloodshot eyes burned hotter."Rot in hell! I hope they flay you a thousand times over. Do you think dying lets you off easy? I'll see to it you suffer forever! I hate you, Jacklyn!" she hissed through her teeth.Her screams, ragged and raw, tore through the tiny room. The hatred blazing in her stare was so fierce that it was a wonder the doll didn't tear itself apart under her gaze.Just then, a sudden knock slammed against the door.Penelope jolted at the noise. She stared at the door, fear crawling up her spine."

    Early the next morning, just as Jacklyn climbed out of bed, the doorbell rang downstairs."Liam? This early?"She stopped the butler, Jeffrey Kitson, from answering and went to the door herself. The moment she opened it and saw Liam, looking completely worn out, she froze.Had he been working all night? And he still showed up to take her to the prenatal checkup?"Liam, you didn't have to come if you were busy," she said, her voice laced with unease.From the moment Liam got her message, only one thought consumed him—he had to get to Jacklyn, fast.So, he pulled an all-nighter, crammed two days' worth of work into one, and caught the earliest flight out. Minnie had just stood there, staring at him like he'd lost his mind.By 8:00 am local time, he was at the mansion. Looking back on it now, even Liam couldn't help but laugh at himself."No, I've got nothing going on," he said casually.Jacklyn didn't buy it. He was just trying to make her feel better. She caught sight of the sh
