The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 144- The Real Apology
Avelin POVThe apartment was really quiet.It was not empty feeling we had when Shen and I lived here by ourselves. That old silence was like a weight on the walls. This was the quiet that comes after a big storm has passed. All the noise and fear just stopped. I stood there in the room, listening to my own breathing.Conrad was in jail. The police had officially charged him. Elena had told her story. That part of our lives was finally closed. The people in charge of the company had changed. Our lawyers were handling all the details now, so we did not have to deal with the stress. Even the guards outside our apartment were not watching us closely as before.Shen went to bed at eight without any fuss. He seemed to know that this night was different. He asked me to tell him one story, not two. He fell asleep before I even finished. His favorite toy, a wolf, was tucked under his arm. His face was relaxed. He was breathing slowly and steadily, like a child who feels safe.I sat at the kit
The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 144- Conrad's Fall
Conrad POVThe holding facility smelled like disinfectant. It was a flat smell that reminded me I wasn't living my life anymore.I sat on the bed and stared at the wall. The concrete blocks were grey and rough with chips near the floor. My mind worked like it always did, going over each detail without feeling anything. I needed to know where I went wrong. I didn't feel scared or sad. Those were feelings for people who let emotions control them. I just needed to look at the facts.The charges against me were made official two hours ago. My lawyer read them out with a tone, watching my face for a reaction: kidnapping, conspiracy, and asset fraud. The last charge was trying to kidnap Avelin Mirei. My lawyer said that name carefully, pausing to see if I would react.I didn't react. I had already reacted two nights ago in the back of the car, watching the police surround me on my phone. The numbers didn't work out in my favor. I had no moves left.I was right about Leander's intelligence a
The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 143-Elena Testifies
Avelin POVI had never been to a courtroom before.The courtroom was really big and really quiet. It had ceilings and wood on the walls. The air in the room felt special, like it does in places. The seats were hard. Every little sound was loud.Leander was sitting in the row. He had saved me a seat. I sat in the back instead. I wanted to see him and the door through which Elena would come in. He did not say anything when I told him I was going to sit in the back. He knew I needed some space. I could feel him from far away. He smelled like cedar and rain. That smell reached me even where I was sitting.Shen stayed with Madam Lia. I had kissed him goodbye that morning. He knew something big was happening. That he needed to stay away. He asked me if the bad person was going to go now. I told him yes. He. Went back to playing with his dinosaurs.The courtroom started to fill up with people: lawyers, police officers, and reporters. Some of these people were from the board meetings and the
The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 142- Leander Confronts Conrad
Leander POVI had thought about this moment a lot since I got my memories back.I did not think about it like people think about getting revenge, with a lot of anger and satisfaction. I thought about it quietly. I imagined sitting across from Conrad Vladmoss with everything out in the open, no pretending, no acting like a family, no fifteen years of putting on a show. I imagined what it would feel like to have all the facts and look at him with that knowledge.I did not expect to feel so tired.The room was set up by my lawyers, so it was all correct and official. We were in a conference room on the thirty-second floor of a building that our law firm owned, not Voss Corporation, so it was ground. Two police officers stood near the door. My main lawyer sat next to me. Conrad's lawyer, who had been called in with two hours' notice and looked surprised, sat next to Conrad. The table between us was ordinary. The chairs were ordinary too. Everything was ordinary except for the fifteen year
The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 141 — The Ambush
Avelin POVThursday evenings had their rhythm now that Leander's memory was back.I left the office at 5:30 PM, taking my route, the one I had used since I moved to the city. It passed by a bakery on the corner. Shen loved their almond cookies, saying they were better than any cookies. Thursdays were special because Renlo watched Shen, and Renlo had a soft spot for baked goods. It was a ritual, one that grew quietly over time, one Thursday at a time.I had my bag on one shoulder and the bakery box under my arm. My mind was on the conversation I needed to have with Leander about Shen's checkup. Shen wasn't happy about it. As I turned onto Caldwell Street, I noticed a car parked at an odd angle, but something else.Then the door opened.It happened fast, like it usually does with danger. Two men moved efficiently, like they had done this before. They grabbed my arms, and my bag fell off my shoulder. The bakery box hit the ground, breaking open. Almond cookies scattered across the concre
The Forgotten Vow (MM Romance) Chapter 140 — Conrad Makes His Move
Conrad POVLosing is a slow process that becomes sudden.I watched the slow decline unfold over weeks, board resignations, legal filings, and Gerald Fitch feeding my secrets to Leander’s team. My mistake was trusting a man who knew exactly how deep my reach went. I spent hours in my hotel suite, watching my carefully built empire dismantle on screens broadcast to shareholders and the world.His husband. His son. Three years old.Leander had stood at that podium, delivering his ultimatum with the calm of a man who no longer feared the world. Shareholders listened, confused by this new, incomprehensible reality. I watched the legal machinery grind forward, systematic and cold. It was Leander’s now.Then, suddenly, everything changed on a Thursday. My lawyer called: Elena had agreed to testify. Her deposition would be comprehensive, the timeline she provided sealing every remaining gap in the case.Elena. My wife. The woman who wept in my arms for three years while I arranged her brother
