Where the Wind Lost Its Shore Chapter 22
Colton let go of her instantly, a glimmer of clarity in his eyes."Whitney, can't you see it's me? It's me, Colton. I'm the Colton you adore."Whitney was still shielding herself, not quite back to reality, whispering, "Colton? I don't know him. Where's Everett, my Everett?"Colton stood there, feeling the crushing weight of a shattered heart.He used to lie to himself, thinking Whitney was just mad, playing games to get at him. She could not really stop loving him, could not really love someone else.However, the truth hit him like a ton of bricks.He did not matter to Whitney anymore. Her heart belonged to someone else, and it was not him."Whitney," he said, reaching out not to touch her but to wrap his jacket around her for warmth."I've hurt you enough in the past. How could I bear to hurt you again?"With a sad smile, he settled back into the driver's seat.Through the rearview mirror, Colton watched the woman he loved more than anything, knowing that was their final fa

Whitney sat in the elegant Michelin-starred restaurant, staring at the French dish before her that she used to adore without the slightest appetite.Colton watched her with caution and asked softly, "Whitney, don't you like it? Should we go somewhere else?""No," she replied, her face unreadable as she looked at Colton."Speak now or forever hold your peace. After today, we're done. We'll never cross paths again."The words 'we're done' hit Colton like a punch to the gut. His eyes welled up, and a choked sob escaped his throat."Whitney, can you really just toss aside more than twenty years of us?""Colton, what's left to talk about? I've already made room for your perfect little family."Colton was remorseful. "Don't, Whitney. That's not my kid. I've told you, the only child I want is one with you..."He searched her face desperately, hoping to find a flicker of the love they once shared, but she was icy, her gaze delivering a silent but final blow."Colton, if you've got som

"Colton!"Tessa had been perched on the sofa since dawn, waiting for the news that Colton was on his way back."Where's Whitney?" she asked, peering around him, finding only empty space."Grandma, she's not coming back."Colton's bruised face made Tessa's heart clench.He held out his hand, revealing the mended bracelet. "Grandma, this is for you.""Whitney doesn't want it?"Tessa gasped, her sorrow turning to anger. "It's all Janice's fault, that wretched woman! She chased away my granddaughter-in-law!"Colton stayed silent, absorbing Tessa's tirade."That vile woman, she's lost her mind, making a mess at home. I sent her to Mr. Gibson. I can't stand the sight of her! It's all her doing. Otherwise, my dear Whitney, why would she leave?"Tessa seized him, whispering urgently."That woman did give me an idea. Colton, maybe you could find a way to get Whitney to change her mind, you know... Once a woman's expecting, she's bound to stay..."Colton recoiled, shaking his head

Colton, faced with her rage, did not argue back. He merely had a trace of a smile on his lips.Her anger spiked at his reaction. "Colton, we're divorced, remember? Stop this, or I won't be able to keep my shop afloat."He just stood there, head bowed, the very image of a chastised schoolboy."Whitney, I've never chased after anyone else. I'm just doing what I did when I first pursued you."Whitney paused, taken aback.Colton was never good at the chase. His way of showing love was awkward and possessive, using his status as the heir to the Jones fortune to scare off any rivals.She had fallen for that clumsy devotion once, thinking he would only ever be that way with her. However, she realized that Colton could hurt her.Whitney chuckled icily. "Colton, stop it. I've told you. We're done."She added firmly, "I'm marrying Everett, so just leave us alone, okay?""Marrying?" The word hit Colton like a plunge into freezing water, his heart turning to ice and then shattering.

Colton's voice was laced with hurt as he stood behind her. "Whitney, please look at me."However, Whitney just kept on with her task, opening the store as if he was not even there."Whitney, hear me out," Colton said, trailing her into the shop.He watched her deftly switch on the machine and start cleaning the cups and dishes.He stopped short, a long-ignored memory breaking through the surface."Colton, I dream of an easygoing life," the girl had said, wrapped in a blanket beside him under the stars."Whitney, whatever life you want, I'll be there," the boy had promised, his voice still cracking with youth.That was back in middle school."You won't get it, Colton," she said with a smile that hid more than it revealed.He had grown desperate. "Why wouldn't I get it?"After a pause, she explained, "Colton, you're destined to take over the Jones Group, to carry on your family's legacy and deal with all that corporate pressure. You'll end up marrying a gentle wife because you

"Whitney, what's on the menu for tonight?"Everett, pushing the shopping cart, strolled through the supermarket aisles with Whitney.With a laugh, Whitney listed a few dishes, and Everett agreed to each with a nod.Joy twinkled in his eyes as he squeezed their linked hands a little tighter.They left the supermarket, their arms laden with bags."I'm going to swing by the shop to prepare the coffee beans for tomorrow."She gave their joined hands a playful shake and asked, "Hey, great artist, care to join me?"Everett pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Wouldn't miss it."Their tender moment, however, was caught by an unexpected onlooker.Colton burst forward, yanking Whitney into a fierce embrace, his gaze screaming ownership."Whitney!"His hands clamped down on her shoulders as he planted a possessive kiss on her forehead."How could you?! How could you let him touch you? Whitney, how could you do this to me?!"Colton's eyes blazed with fury, his heart twisted in agony."D
