All Chapters of Gone with Yesterday: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Opting out of the comfort of taking the wheel, Tabitha Bray headed home on foot instead.Horrified to see Tabitha covered in biting frost, the maid ushered her inside to get some warmth and scrambled to get her a hot drink. “Why didn’t you wear something warmer, Miss Bray? Mr. Loader is going to be upset if you catch a cold.” Tabitha appeared numb to the world. Without a word, she turned on her heel and retreated to her room. The moment the door was shut, Tabitha clutched her chest and sank to the floor. She had never once doubted Christian Loader’s love for her. All it took was a hint of interest from Tabitha for Christian to take the next flight out to South America, just to oversee the creation of a bespoke diamond bracelet.Christian was the kind of man who would flip a table and throw away a multimillion-dollar deal if anybody pressured her to drink. The same CEO, hardened by the cutthroat turbulence of the business world, set his pride aside to propose to Tabitha, h

Through the silence of the night, Tabitha could make out the faint voice of a woman on the other end. “Mittens is gone, Christian! I’ve looked everywhere, but I can’t find it. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have taken my eyes off it. “It’s just a tiny baby. If anything happens to it, I don’t want to live anymore…” “Don’t! Don’t go there. Nothing will happen to it.” Panic clouded Christian’s face. He took a glance at Tabitha before walking out while covering his phone, his voice trailing off. “It’s late. It’s not safe for you to venture out alone to find Mittens. I’ll be there in five…” Moments later, Christian scrambled back to the room, threw on a jacket, and made up a lie about a work emergency before heading out without so much as a glance at Tabitha. Doubling over in pain, Tabitha could only watch as Christian faded into the background. The emotional betrayal hurt far more than the physical illness. Left without a choice, Tabitha had to drag herself across the r

Stepping out of the building, Christian looked at his watch and suggested that they could still make it to the wedding dress fitting in time. However, the moment was lost for Tabitha. A furious scream cut through the air. Out of nowhere, an armed assailant jumped out and pointed his knife at Tabitha. “You must be Christian’s lover. “You ruined the lives of my family, so I’m taking yours today!” He slashed the knife at Tabitha. “No!” In that split second between life and death, Christian threw himself in front of Tabitha and took the hit for her. As the blade plunged into his flesh, blood gushed out. Christian slumped to the ground in agony, his hands over his abdomen. The sight of blood sent the assailant into a panic, and he threw his weapon aside and took flight. Tabitha held Christian up shakily, her breath hitched. The bleeding wouldn’t stop. Yet, Christian fixated his gaze on Tabitha as if numb to the pain. “Thank goodness you’re safe, Tabitha.” Tabi

Christian stepped out of the bathroom, drying his hair while discussing details of the venue layout with Tabitha. He grabbed his phone for a look, and his words trailed off. Tabitha asked, “Why did you stop?” Christian put away his phone in a hurry. Keeping his cool, he kept the topic on the wedding venue. However, his gaze kept wandering outside the window. “It’s late. We should get some rest.” Tabitha turned off the lights, and a bolt of lightning split the sky outside. Without warning, heavy rain poured down. Seeking comfort, Tabitha shuffled closer toward Christian.She wasn’t one to be meek, but thunder was her kryptonite. Understanding her fear, Christian once promised to never let her face a storm alone. However, Christian’s heart and mind were elsewhere. The last thing on his mind was Tabitha’s need for reassurance and her fear of thunder. All it took was five seconds of the rain, and he rolled out of bed. Without a word, he bolted out of the house.

Christian arrived on time for their dinner date on the eve of their wedding. He even brought an expensive bottle of red to add a touch of class to the evening’s dinner. Just as the pair took a seat, notifications flooded Christian’s phone. The next thing Christian knew, his phone blared with a call. Christian glanced at the caller and rejected the call, but the ringing was persistent. Tabitha observed Christian in composure. “You should take the call.” Christian stood up, his phone in hand. A brief moment later, he returned in a rush to grab his jacket and keys. “Tabitha, I need to take care of some urgent business. Enjoy dinner. Don’t wait up.” With his fading footsteps in the background, Tabitha smiled wryly to herself. She finished her cold steak one bite at a time and took a couple of sips of the red wine. Later, she checked her social media. Sure enough, Kelsey shared a new update. Her post featured a photo of Christian on the rooftop, his eyes glistening wi
