All Chapters of He Stands at the End of My Past: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Rowan worked fast. Within a day, he prepared the divorce agreement and booked Juliet's plane ticket.The only thing he still hadn't uncovered was Willow's background, but Juliet wasn't in a rush. There were 30 days before the divorce could be finalized. It was more than enough time to figure everything out.Victoria, who had been recuperating in the countryside, rushed back the moment she heard Juliet was hurt. When she found Juliet lying in a hospital bed, barely able to speak, she felt both heartbroken and furious."This is outrageous! I can't believe Caspian actually hurt you for another woman. I'll go find him right now and make him apologize to you on his knees, Jules!""It's alright, Victoria." Juliet held her back and reached for the divorce agreement on the bedside table. "I've been married into your family for six years, and I've never asked you for anything. Just this once… Could you take this to him and have him sign it?"Victoria's pupils contracted as she looked at th

Willow stood frozen in place. Her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears, and her fists were clenched so tightly that her knuckles turned white. Yet, she stubbornly kept her chin up."What did you just say, Willie?" Caspian stared at her in disbelief.Willow yanked her hand out of his and choked out, "Mr. Henderson, what will it take for you to leave me alone? Your wife wants to rip my clothes off in public. Are you satisfied now?"Juliet's friends' jaws dropped. They were about to retaliate when a violent crash echoed through the room.Caspian had grabbed a wine bottle and hurled it at the ground, sending shards of glass flying everywhere. He shifted his ice-cold gaze to Juliet and seethed, "Juliet, did I or did I not warn you to stay the hell away from Willie? Why don't you ever listen?"Juliet pushed herself up from the floor. Her eyes were blazing red as she glared at him. "I didn't even know she worked here, Caspian!"Willow let out a shaky laugh. With teary eyes, she snee

Juliet was dragged back into the private room, where Caspian waved her over. "Come here, Jules."Juliet didn't budge. The person behind noticed and pushed her forward. "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get over there!"When she approached Caspian, he picked up a glass of liquor from the table and handed it to her. "Willie's injured, and she can't drink. My mom said you handled all my social events while I was in a coma, so you can definitely take it. From now on, whenever she loses, you'll drink for her."Juliet's expression changed drastically.Back then, even though she had saved the Hendersons, her family wasn't based in the country, so she couldn't offer them much support. The only thing she could do was attend every dinner and meeting to pull in investments on Caspian's behalf.Juliet had drunk so much alcohol that her stomach bled, yet she had still forced herself to push through it. She had always thought he knew nothing about it. Yet, he had known all along, and now,

When Caspian took the document to Willow, she mentioned how envious she felt of couples who got married while traveling.Without the slightest hesitation, he cleared his schedule and brought her on a tour along the western coast of Euradia. The couple fed each other street food in Loxbury, kissed beneath the Marivelle Tower, and pledged forever at Farwind Cape with the ocean stretching before them.Someone captured their picture-perfect moment and uploaded it online. As soon as Caspian's identity came to light, Willow instantly became the woman everyone envied.Leaning comfortably in his arms, Willow scrolled through comments with a glint of satisfaction in her eyes, though her tone remained arrogant. "Caspian, you've treated me quite well these days. Let's get married once we're back home."She paused before continuing, "I may not have any family left, but I still expect a proper ceremony and gifts. My father died saving you. I won't ask for much… just half of your shares in Hende

Upon hearing Caspian's question, Willow noticeably stiffened for a split second. In a heartbeat, tears welled up in her eyes, and she raised her voice as she choked out, "Caspian Henderson, you know damn well whether my father is dead! "Are you seriously using his death to test me? If you don't want to marry me, you can just say so. You don't have to make up such a pathetic excuse!"Right after saying that, she jerked her suitcase upright and dragged it toward the door, the wheels screeching across the floor."Don't go!" Caspian called after her.Willow stopped in her tracks, a triumphant smile tugging at her lips. However, she schooled her expression and turned back around. "Do you think I'll stay just because you asked me to? I'm not that easy!"Caspian massaged his throbbing temples. He sounded exhausted as he apologized, "It was all my fault. Don't go, alright?"Willow huffed before plopping down on the couch and tapping her fingers against the armrest. "Since you've asked s
