All Chapters of The Vow I Never Took: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Nathan POV.Life had become a hell of darkness and silence. I couldn’t raise a finger, couldn’t move a muscle. It was as if the world had closed in around me, leaving me isolated in a void where only my thoughts echoed. I was trapped in my own mind, a prisoner of my body.Days turned into weeks, and I floated in a state of half-awareness. The darkness was oppressive, but amidst it, there was a flicker of warmth that enveloped me every day. I felt a gentle hand resting on mine, and the soft sounds of sobs filled the silence. It was Lena’s touch. I wanted to tell her to stop crying, to reassure her that I was still here, but my voice wouldn’t come. I was powerless, unable to express the comfort her presence brought me.Every time she touched me, a wave of happiness surged through my being. I longed to respond, to open my eyes, and let her know that I felt her concern wrapping around me like a warm blanket. But all I could do was exist in this state of limbo, where time los

Lena POV.When we arrived at Nathan’s private villa, a sense of happiness washed over me. The exterior was modern yet inviting, surrounded by lush greenery that provided a sense of tranquility. It felt like a sanctuary, far removed from the chaos of the hospital and the dark memories of the Hale mansion. I turned to Nathan, who was still recovering from his ordeal but appeared more relaxed now. “I brought you something,” I said, holding up the lunch box filled with the flour-based treats I had prepared.His eyes brightened, and a smile spread across his face. “What do you have for me?”I opened the lunch box, revealing pancakes, chicken pie, and freshly baked bread. “I thought you might be hungry,” I said, my heart swelling with anticipation. “I wanted to make something special for you.”“Lena, this looks amazing!” he exclaimed, his eyes shining with appreciation. “Thank you.”Before we dove into the food, Nathan turned to Adrian, wh

Lena’s POVI woke up feeling warm all over, like someone had wrapped me in a soft blanket. My eyelids felt heavy, but I forced them open. The first thing I saw was Nathan sitting beside me. His eyes were closed, but I could see the dark circles under them, proof that he hadn’t slept well.When he sensed my movement, his eyes snapped open. Relief washed over his face, and his shoulders dropped. He let out a shaky breath and reached out to touch my cheek.“You’re awake,” he whispered, his voice hoarse.I blinked up at him, confused for a moment, until everything came rushing back. The pool. The water closing around me. The knife cutting through the darkness. The feeling of death so close. And Nathan… Nathan saving me, even when he almost lost his own life.My chest tightened painfully, and tears spilled from my eyes before I could stop them. I raised a trembling hand and placed it on his cheek, feeling the scratch of his unshaven jaw under my palm.“I’m so sorry,” I cried, my voice brea

Lena’s POV I woke up the next day in bed, feeling the warmth of the faint light coming from the pulled back curtains in my room. Slowly, I opened my eyes and turned to the side, expecting to see Nathan lying there, his hair messy from sleep and his face calm. But the bed was empty. I sat up quickly, rubbing my eyes. Maybe he was in the bathroom. I waited for a few seconds, listening, but there was no sound of running water. My heart sank a little as I realised he had left already. I checked the clock beside the bed. It was just past six in the morning. Way too early for him to be out, especially after how tired he looked last night. I got out of bed, feeling the cold tiles under my feet. Wrapping my arms around myself, I walked out to the kitchen, hoping to see him there making his terrible coffee. But the kitchen was empty too. Only silence greeted me. I sighed and leaned against the counter, feeling disappointed. Did he leave without breakfast again? My eyes fell on the fridge,

Lena’s POVI stared at the paper in my hand. Bold letters at the top read “NN Investment Company.” The name felt so familiar, it made my chest tighten instantly.“NN Investment…” I whispered to myself, almost forgetting Nathan was there. My mind raced back to a time not so long ago, a time I tried so hard to forget.Nathan, who was busy stacking the rest of the scattered files, looked up at me. “You know them?” he asked, a small frown forming on his forehead.I nodded slowly, my fingers tightening around the paper. “Yeah… I know them. They’re the biggest investment company overseas. Almost everyone dreams of signing a deal with them. They’re like… the peak of business success.”Nathan placed the files on the table and walked over to me. He sat down, his knees brushing against mine as he reached out to gently take the paper from my hands.“I’m planning to send them a proposal for the new product launch,” he said quietly. “It’s a risky move, but if they agree, it’ll take everything to a
