The Past Has Melted Chapter 19
Cyrene was sentenced to three years in prison on charges of aggravated assault.After she was released, she tried to resume her career only to find that everything had changed.She sent countless resumes without any prospects. Even when the employers responded, she was rejected when they found out about her criminal record.Eventually, she became desperate and went to Orion for help.Before she could even step into the lobby, the security stopped her and handed her a wad of cash.“Mr. Orion wants you to take this money and never contact him again.”When she stood outside the Baron Corporation building with money in hand, she was filled with immense regret.All this time, she believed all she had to do was to marry Orion. Then, she would enjoy the privileges that came with the title of Mrs. Baron.She could never have foreseen such an ending for herself!...Compared to Orion and Cyrene’s fate, things were far better for Elara.Her brand account had flourished over the past f

Elara would not hear Orion’s name again until a certain evening five years later.She had just wrapped up a parenting seminar when an intern at her studio, who was scrolling through the news on her phone, remarked candidly, “The president of Baron Corporation, Orion Baron, is on the trending page again. He’s had a falling out with a business partner because he was too often distracted by family affairs.”Elara was in the middle of sorting out her documents when she paused briefly. Without looking up, she prompted, “Get back to work.”The intern playfully stuck out her tongue before setting her phone aside.Despite her dismissal, the passing remark about Orion had an effect on Elara. It had a rippling effect like a pebble dropped into a pond.She was not wholly bothered. Rather, it was better described as a moment of reflection.It had been five years. The man who had once dominated the landscape of her life was nothing more than a name on the gossip column.Later, a friend told

Upon returning to his home country, Orion set aside everything related to work and stayed at the hospital to care for his children.When they woke up to see him by their side, they could not conceal their disappointment.That same night, Emilia had a persistent fever and would not stop murmuring, “I want Mommy’s chicken soup.”Orion followed an online recipe and made a clumsy attempt at chicken soup.When he brought it to the bedside, Emilia pushed the bowl away, spilling its contents all over the floor.“I don't want this! This isn't the chicken soup Mommy makes!” she cried aggrievedly, “Mommy would put sweet corn in the chicken soup! You don’t even know that!”When Orion looked at the scattered mess all over the floor, he felt heartbroken.At one point, he foolishly believed that Elara’s absence would not change things.It was only now that he realized how irreplaceable she was.In the days that followed, he tried everything he could to make amends to his children, but nothi

Elara paused for a moment before countering with another question of her own, “That’s precisely the reason I’ve been a doormat for them all these years! Now, tell me how all that turned out?”With that, she hung up the phone without hesitation....After Orion was hospitalized, Elara's life got back on track.One day, she went to see Barry so she could thank him for helping her deal with Orion.Seated on his office chair, a faint smile played on his lips while he suggested, “I know how you can thank me.”“How?”“Amos has always been very fond of you,” Barry paused briefly before continuing, “How do you feel about becoming his godmother?”Amos was the son of Barry’s elder brother.Several years ago, his elder brother and sister-in-law passed away unexpectedly. With that, their child was left under his care.Over the years, Barry had acted dutifully as his guardian and raised Amos with diligence, instilling proper manners in him.Elara, who already adored Amos at that point, b

Elara's eyes widened with alarm as she stepped back.Before she could react to what was happening, a tall figure suddenly burst inside the room and seized Cyrene by her wrist.“Cyrene, put the knife down!”It was Orion who shouted through clenched teeth. His frosty voice cut across the room.Cyrene's eyes became bloodshot while she tried to wrestle herself free. “No! Not unless you promise me you'll never see her again and will never have anything to do with her again!”Orion did not respond but tightened his grip instead.His insistence on silence only added fuel to the fire. Cyrene was furious.After another violent bout of pushing and pulling, the tip of the blade sank into Orion’s abdomen!His dark gray suit was dyed red in an instant. Drops of blood trickled from the hem of the suit onto the floor.Everything came to a standstill in an instant.Cyrene’s mouth was agape with disbelief.Elara panicked and immediately reached for her phone to call for an ambulance.Soon,

Ten years ago at Koto University, Barry and Orion were widely recognized as two of the most talented students.One was known for his wit and quick thinking, the other for his composure and decisiveness.Whether it was debates in the classroom or competitions, they were rivals who refused to yield to each other.Even years after graduation, they remained fierce rivals in the business world.It was only after Barry relocated to Aneria that Orion no longer had to deal with having him as his prime competitor.He never imagined that their reunion would take place under such circumstances.“I wasn’t expecting to meet you here either.” Barry smiled faintly. “After all, I assume you’d just marry Cyrene after you got divorced from Elara.”Orion’s brows tightened. “The divorce was just an incident. I’m not marrying Cyrene anytime soon and don’t count on it ever happening either.”“Why?” Barry flicked a look at him and interrogated him, “Even back in university, you two were the famous co
