Semua Bab My Love for You Has Never Withered: Bab 11 - Bab 15

The next day, I arrived at the magazine office, and sure enough, Emmett was there.My coworkers, unaware of his background, were drawn to his appearance and were already planning a welcome party for the attractive new colleague.I shut my office door behind me, blocking out the noise.Around noon, someone knocked on the door.I assumed it was my assistant, but when I opened it, there stood Emmett.“Lunch from Mr. Reed,” he said with a warm smile. “Ms. Reed, don’t forget to eat.”He handed me a boxed meal.With everyone's eyes on us, I had no choice but to accept it.But the moment I took a bite, I knew he was lying.There was no way this had come from Uncle Franklin. Emmett had made it himself.I didn’t know what he was planning. He had ghosted into my life and work like a silent phantom—ever-present, yet always maintaining a careful distance.Until one weekend, I ran into him again.To avoid running into him constantly at Emerald Creek, I decided to visit the women’s c

When those men turned their attention to me, Emmett made his move, just as his long-simmering revenge plan crystallized.Amelie had approached Emmett intending to form an alliance. Fueled by the postpartum depression of her biological mother, she harbored deep resentment toward her father and his illegitimate son. Emmett hesitated at first, but with Amelie as cover, infiltrating their circle became effortless. Such opportunities were fleeting. Without her, gathering evidence would take years.After weighing the risks, he agreed.Playing the devoted fiancé granted him access to her brother’s inner circle—and the damning proof he needed.Emmett admitted that he had thought about telling me everything, but only after all the problems had been resolved.As for those photos, he claimed he had never intended to release them. The one thing he hadn’t accounted for was the plane crash.He had already gathered evidence proving that Amelie’s brother and his associates had lured undera

I’d only taken a few hurried steps when the déjà vu hit.Three years ago, on graduation day, it was the same frantic escape, the same flight to Montverre.I realized I’d never told Emmett how I fell for him.When I was ten, my parents' jobs relocated us back to Valmera, and I was placed with a boarding family temporarily. Most of those memories had blurred over time. All I remembered was always feeling like a falling leaf, blown from one place to another.It wasn’t until we settled in Avalon that my parents hired a kind-hearted, honest middle-aged driver. He always watched me with unsettling eyes, following my every movement. I wanted to tell my mother, but they were always so busy.One night, he sneaked into my room under the cover of darkness. In the struggle, I grabbed a pair of scissors from the bedside. Despair overtook me, and I stabbed him. Blood poured from him, and his eyes widened before he collapsed.I thought I had killed him. In my panic, I fled without eve
