A week later...The vacation in Thailand finally came to an end.Although nobody wanted to leave, everyone returned home feeling lighter than before.Not everything had healed.Some wounds would always remain.But for the first time in years...The Calderwood family could finally breathe....Three weeks later...The Calderwood Mansion was unusually lively.Laughter echoed through the living room as everyone gathered together.Henrietta was helping Josephine arrange flowers on the dining table.Josephine looked healthier than she had been in months. The sadness was still there, but it no longer swallowed her whole.Henrietta smiled."This trip really did you good.""It did," Josephine smiled back.She looked around the house.For years, she had lived with pain.Now...She wanted to live for the family she still had....Not far away...Lucien walked downstairs wearing a simple black shirt, with Elowen following behind him.The moment Josephine saw them, her eyes softened.She reached
One Month Later...Thailand.The warm morning sun stretched across the blue sea while gentle waves rolled onto the white sand.The cool breeze carried the scent of the ocean, making the entire place feel peaceful.It was the complete opposite of everything the Calderwood family had gone through over the past month.Paul had been arrested.The investigation had officially reopened. His confession had left everyone heartbroken, especially Josephine.Although she had recovered physically, the pain in her heart remained. She smiled sometimes, but everyone could tell it wasn't the same smile as before.Originally, this vacation had been planned for only Lucien and Elowen. It was supposed to be their time alone after everything they had been through. They had never gone on a vacation together before.But Elowen couldn't bring herself to leave Josephine behind.After seeing how quiet and withdrawn she had become, Elowen gently convinced her to come with them. To make things better, she also
The door of the private suite opened. Two police officers held Paul's arms firmly as they escorted him outside. His face had already lost all its color. The confidence he had walked into the room with had completely disappeared. His eyes moved around the hallway. Then he froze. Standing a few steps away was Josephine. Beside her were Mitchell, Harris, Evans, and several police officers. Josephine's face was pale. Her eyes were swollen and filled with tears. She stared at Paul as though she had never known the man standing before her. Paul's breathing stopped. "J... Josephine..." His voice shook for the first time. He hadn't expected to see her. Lucien had said she was listening to their discussion, but facing her already felt different. Josephine didn't answer. She simply stared at him. The words he had confessed inside the room kept echoing in her ears. "I destroyed the brake system." "Gerard took everything from me..." Every sentence pierced her heart.
Lucien's expression did not change, but his instincts immediately screamed that something was wrong.And just as he had thought, a strange smell suddenly reached his nose.Very faint.Almost impossible to notice.Lucien slowly inhaled again. His eyes narrowed.Paul, on the other hand, was watching him carefully.Waiting and observing.Lucien immediately understood, and a slow smile appeared on his face.Paul frowned slightly."You are smiling?"Lucien leaned back."So that's your plan," he said, his tone calm as though he hadn't just heard Paul say that he wouldn't leave the room alive.Paul's eyes flashed. "What are you talking about?"Lucien slowly glanced around the room with interest in his eyes."The smell," he said.Paul remained silent, looking confused.Then Lucien chuckled softly."A sleeping agent," Lucien said, shaking his head in pity. "Something slow enough that I wouldn't notice immediately."His eyes returned to Paul."You prepared this before I arrived."Paul's smile ret
The room fell silent after Paul's last words.'And I couldn't let him do it again.'Lucien stared at him quietly.His expression remained calm, but his eyes had turned cold. "So you killed him?"Paul did not deny it. He shrugged."No," he corrected calmly. "I caused the accident."Lucien's jaw tightened.What difference did it make? His father still died.Paul walked back to his seat and sat down."But the outcome was the same," he said without remorse.Silence filled the room again.Lucien looked at him steadily. "Tell me."Paul smiled faintly."You really want to hear it?" he asked as he understood what Lucien was asking.Lucien didn't reply, but his eyes held the answer.Paul leaned back."The day before the accident, I had someone gain access to Gerard's car," he started softly as though it was nothing.Lucien's fingers slowly curled into fists beneath the table.Paul continued as though he were discussing the weather."It wasn't difficult. Money can solve many problems. My instru
Lucien parked his car at Davie Entertainment and checked the time on his wristwatch. The workshop should be over by now.He stepped out of the car and leaned lightly against it, waiting for Elowen’s call. He had told her to call him as soon as the workshop ended and she was ready to go home. He was
Scarlett’s fingers were still gripping the steering wheel tightly. Her knuckles had turned pale, yet her face remained stiff and cold, showing no sign of regret.There was no way she would ever report the accident to the police herself.Why would she turn herself in? Scarlett thought bitterly. That
Chapter 31Some Days LaterLucien slowed the car and stopped in front of Davie Entertainment.“We’ve arrived,” he said softly.Elowen didn’t respond immediately.Lucien glanced at her through the rearview mirror and noticed the distant look in her eyes. Her fingers were tightly clasped together on
At Davie Entertainment building.“Jacob,” Evans called out in a light tone as he walked out of his office.He had just ended a call with Lucien, who informed him that he was bringing Elowen to the company. Elowen had agreed to audition for the drama role.“Yes, Mr. Davie,” Jacob answered, rushing o
