When Silence Became Goodbye Chapter 21
Before Shiloh left in the military jeep, she uploaded the recording of her conversation with Rainee in the hospital.At first, nobody cared. Shiloh barely had any followers, and she hadn't paid to boost it.Then came the twist.Christy followed Shiloh.And Christy hated Rainee with everything she had. More than once, she'd wanted to choke her out herself.Now she had proof.No way was she letting it slide.Christy dropped a fortune pushing the recording across every major platform.By morning, it had blown up, reaching tens of millions of views.If Manuel had seen it then, he still could've thrown money at the problem and contained it.But he was too busy looking for Shiloh to check what was happening online.The recording kept spreading. Soon, it had hundreds of billions of views. Even Preston Corp's stock took a hit.Harrison was furious.He searched everywhere for Manuel and came up empty.By then, Manuel was already on a military jeep headed for the Space Elevator Pro
When Silence Became Goodbye Chapter 20
Shiloh was done talking. Manuel didn't deserve another word."I was your wife for five years. I did my part. I owe you nothing. So leave. For the rest of my life, I never want to see you again."Manuel knew he had no right to ask her to forgive him.But giving up?Not happening.He'd only ever been in love with two people. One was the Rainee he'd made up in his head—the sweet, clueless girl. The other was Shiloh.That girl was never real.Shiloh was.So how was he supposed to let her go?"Shiloh, I know you're gonna hate me for this." Manuel's jaw locked. "But I'm out of moves. If hate is the only thing keeping you with me... then hate me."He yanked out his phone and showed her a photo.The second Shiloh saw it, she went still.Zach's gravestone.Before she could react, Manuel moved closer. His voice dropped so only she could hear."I'm giving you three days to ask your supervisor to pull you from the Space Elevator Project. If you don't, I'll destroy Zach's gravestone.
When Silence Became Goodbye Chapter 19
Manuel felt his heart split wide open.Shiloh was right. Deep down, he'd never respected Rainee.He was the golden boy—smart, gifted, untouchable. At three, he was learning seven languages. By ten, he was helping with small Preston Corp deals. He had everything people dreamed of: a photographic memory and a brain that could master anything quickly.Rainee was the opposite. She couldn't seem to learn anything.Back when they were kids, when she was still Rainee Preston, Manuel looked down on her. She was painfully slow. She didn't learn to count to ten until she was three. She couldn't say the alphabet or a basic nursery rhyme. Even with expensive tutors, she never learned Spanish or French.More than once, Manuel wondered if this clueless kid was really his biological sister.Still, she was his little sister. She'd always clung to him, and eventually, he got used to having that sweet, innocent kid at his side.Her whole world was simple. She cared about her favorite food and him

The video had barely started when the room erupted."He cheated? For real? He sounded so sorry. I low-key believed him.""Same. I thought Professor Schaffer was reading too much into it. Nope. That whole sad-boy confession was fake. Dude's just trash.""Hold up... wasn't Rainee his sister? He slept with his sister? Nasty.""That's why you never trust a guy who says some girl is 'like a sister.' Nine times out of ten, he's just hiding the side chick."Everyone who'd been pushing Shiloh to forgive Manuel switched sides in two seconds.The second Manuel saw the video, his face went blank."Where did you get that?" he snapped. "Did you have someone follow me and film me?"Shiloh gave a cold laugh. "You think way too highly of yourself. I loved you then, but not enough to pay someone to stalk you." She lifted her phone. "Rainee sent it a month ago."Manuel froze.A month ago—when Shiloh filed for divorce."So this is why you wanted a divorce?" His voice shook."Not exactly." Shi
When Silence Became Goodbye Chapter 17
The red heart-shaped velvet box hit the floor, and the cheering crowd went dead silent.Manuel stayed frozen on one knee.'What did Shiloh just say? She'd rather die than get back with me?'His face darkened. "Shiloh, enough with the tantrum. I know I screwed up, but I apologized."I dumped tens of billions into your project just to see you. Then I found you, said sorry, tried to make it right, and got down on one knee to propose again."I've done everything I can. I've swallowed all the pride I have left."What else do you want from me?"Manuel had always been the golden boy.Ever since he was a kid, people treated him like royalty. Everyone revolved around him. No one challenged him. He'd never had to apologize to anyone.But to get Shiloh back, he'd thrown tens of billions at her project, swallowed his pride, said sorry, and even knelt in front of her.He couldn't understand why she still wouldn't forgive him.Shiloh saw right through him."And why should I forgive you b
When Silence Became Goodbye Chapter 16
Shiloh's words hit Manuel like knives.The pain squeezed the air from his lungs. He wanted to argue, but she was right. From the day they started dating to the day they got married, Shiloh had quietly loved him and protected him.And what had he done?He hadn't protected Zach.He hadn't protected Shiloh.The only person he'd gone all out for was Rainee—a liar from start to finish."I know I messed up. A lot," Manuel said, guilt heavy in his voice. "But Rainee was never anything but family to me. I never touched her. I never crossed that line. She played me."I'd protected her since we were kids. I was her brother, and looking out for her became automatic. Even after she stopped being my sister, I couldn't break that habit overnight."She used it, and one mistake turned into another."His voice faded as his face twisted with pain.Shiloh believed he was hurting.She just didn't care.He'd made every choice that got him here. He didn't deserve her sympathy."But, Shiloh, I s
