Something Stolen, Something Cruel, Something Walked Away Chapter 9
I looked at Nathan's face and felt myself drifting for a moment.Three months without seeing him. There were dark circles under his eyes. I couldn't tell how long it had been since he'd slept well.He looked travel-worn. His usually crisp suit was disheveled. He seemed utterly haggard.Nathan's voice was hoarse. He stepped closer."Evelyn… I finally found you."I snapped back to reality. I looked at him coldly."What are you doing here?""I'm here to take you home. Evelyn, I'm sorry."His eyes were bloodshot. His face was full of regret and guilt."Everything was my fault. I made you lose the baby. I caused your mother's death. I know I was wrong. Just come back with me, okay? I'll make it up to you."My expression didn't change. I pulled my hand out of his grip."How? How are you going to make it up to me? Can you bring my mother back to life?"Nathan, I'm getting married. I'm marrying the Sterling family heir. I'm going to be Mrs. Sterling, living in luxury. I'll be rich.

Nathan stared at it in disbelief.The handwriting. The way the letters were formed. It was definitely my hand.But… how was that possible?Back then, Grayson had pursued me relentlessly. I had rejected him without mercy. I didn't like playboys.How could I possibly agree to marry him?Nathan's molars ground together."Book me a flight to South City. The earliest one. I need to find her. Now."…South City was bustling and noisy.My voice was cool and calm as I pointed vaguely at a wedding dress."I'm not going to keep browsing. This one."Grayson raised an eyebrow at me. "You don't look like you care."I looked up. My expression didn't change."It's just a dress. In the end, they're all the same."Grayson's flirtatious eyes crinkled with a smile. He leaned close to me. His warm breath fell on my earlobe."Not the same. I'm younger than him. And better in bed. Want to give me a try?"His long, slender fingers hooked onto my zipper.I pushed him away calmly."Don't forg

But three months passed.He couldn't find any news about me. It was as if I had vanished into thin air.Coffee shops. Movie theaters. The restaurant where I used to work.Nothing.Nathan was devastated. He went to the Lovers' Bridge where we used to go on dates.It was crowded with couples writing their names on love padlocks.He remembered how I had blushed, stood on my tiptoes, and whispered in his ear, "What did you wish for?"He had smiled and said quietly, "To marry Evelyn and take her home."Now, the padlock had rusted. He could barely make out their names scratched into the metal.Nathan clutched the padlock tightly. Without realizing it, he had walked to the flower shop on the corner—my favorite one.The owner, an old woman with white hair and a hunched back, smiled and handed him a bouquet of bellflowers."Hey there," she said. "Where's your girlfriend today? She didn't come with you? You two had a fight, huh? Just keep apologizing. It'll be fine."Business hasn't

Nathan was dazed. It was only then that he remembered a couple of days ago, I had been happily wrapped around him, acting mysterious, saying I had a surprise for him.He hadn't thought much of it at the time.His mind had been on Chloe's baby.He had planned to let me raise the baby after it was born. Let me be the child's mother. To make up for the child I could never have.But now… everything had gone wrong.Not only had he taken my mother's heart donor, he had forced me to drink and kneel, causing the baby I had fought so hard for to miscarry.And when I begged him with red eyes to save my mother, he had coldly said, "Nobody helps her. Let her suffer a little. Teach her a lesson. Then she'll know who actually cares about her."He was the one who killed my mother.He was the one who killed our child.Nathan's eyes turned bloodshot. He drove two hundred miles an hour, running through countless red lights.He made it back to the familiar rundown apartment.After taking sever

After a night of passion, Nathan picked up his phone.He stared at the chat window.One minute. Two minutes. Half an hour passed.Still no message.He frowned with irritation. Before, I always worried about him being bored at home, so I'd find things to talk about every few hours.Sometimes I'd complain about a weird coworker. Other times, I'd share photos of pretty flowers on my way home from work, or a snack I was craving.But today, there was nothing.Suddenly, a notification popped up. He quickly tapped on it, only to find it was a newsletter subscription.Nathan's gaze turned cold. Finally, he messaged me.[Still mad?][I already sent the heart donor back. I contacted the best doctors.]Still no reply from the other side.Nathan's fingers whitened from squeezing the phone. He smirked and sent a photo.It showed him holding a sleeping Chloe. Chloe was completely naked, her body covered in bruises and hickeys.He knew I got jealous easily.Before, if he even looked at

Glass after glass of wine went down my throat. My abdomen cramped with pain. Red rashes began spreading all over my body. My stomach churned violently.Nathan's friends watched with glee, egging me on."Hey, don't just drink—where's the apology?""Right! Weren't you supposed to get on your knees and apologize to Chloe? We're all watching!"They pulled out their phones and started recording.My eyes burned.But to save my mother, I didn't hesitate. I dropped to my knees and apologized to Chloe."I'll chug this whole bottle," I said. "Consider it my apology to you."I pried the cap off and poured the liquor down my throat.Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through my abdomen. A warm gush followed—blood trickling down my legs.My vision flickered and darkened.The people around me panicked. Their faces tensed up."Blood! Why is she bleeding? You don't think she's pregnant, do you?"Nathan's pupils contracted. He took half a step forward.Chloe suddenly clutched her stomach. Her fa
