All Chapters of The Rose That Left His World: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Marcus was about to leave to look for her when Lucy suddenly burst into tears, stopping him in his tracks.“Marcus, I’ll go with you. I’ll bow and apologize to Ms. Summer. I’ll make her forgive you.”His deep eyes shifted to her delicate, obedient face.“Lucy, wait for me. I'll go to find Cecilia. You don’t need to go with me. If she sees you now, she’ll only get more upset.”He hurried out.The moment the door slammed shut, Lucy’s tears vanished. A sly smile slowly curved her lips.‘Cecilia, you finally left. If you’d stayed any longer, I might have had to do something worse.’Marcus rushed back to the villa and searched everywhere.There was no sign of Cecilia.Panic began creeping into his chest.One of the servants spoke up cautiously.“Mr. Leedon… Madam’s belongings are already gone. There’s a barrel in the backyard. She burned a lot of things in it.”Marcus’s face twisted with fury.“Why didn’t anyone tell me that Cecilia had disappeared?”The servant hesitated.“A

Lucy's body, as white as snow, looked like a delicate little kitten. She huddled weakly between his grandfather’s legs, swaying her body which was covered only by tattered scraps of fabric, pleasing him. Marcus’s stomach churned instantly. He stormed to the door, clutching the handle so tightly his knuckles went white. His cold gaze shot over to the two in the corner, and he sneered, voice icy and sharp. “What exactly are you guys doing?” he demanded.Lucy saw Marcus and froze, her face draining of all color. Her scanty, revealing lingerie slipped down, and she collapsed onto the floor in a daze. Tears welled up in her eyes almost immediately.“Y-You have to listen to me,” she stammered, scrambling to pull her dress over her trembling body. But in her panic, she only made it worse. She cried and crawled toward Marcus, desperate. “Please, I can explain.”Old Mr. Leedon stayed calm, his eyes cloudy but cold, revealing the demeanor of a man used to having all the power. His voi

Marcus ordered the men to deal with Lucy.Lucy lay on the floor and burst into laughter.“Marcus, no matter how you try to get revenge on me, you’ll never be able to divorce me,” she sneered. “Your grandfather will never allow it. The son I birthed him will be put under your name.”Her eyes were wild.“I told you before—I’m going to stay with you for the rest of my life. And if he refuses, I’ll expose every secret he has.”Marcus’s gaze was icy.At that moment, a message from his lawyer appeared on his phone.The divorce was finalized.He looked at Lucy and said coldly, “From now on, my grandfather won’t be able to stop me anymore. Lucy, we’re divorced.”When the image of the divorce decree was placed in front of her, Lucy finally shattered.She screamed hysterically.“No! I will always be Mrs. Leedon! I’m the real Mrs. Leedon!”Marcus watched as the homeless tore at Lucy’s clothes.Then he turned around and walked out of the dilapidated warehouse without another glance.

“Seven years ago, out of guilt, I secretly transferred all the shares under my name to Cecilia. And now every last one of those shares has been acquired by the Paterson family. Grandpa, back then you forced me to marry Lucy. In exchange, I wanted every share of Leedon Group that was in your hands. And now, Leedon Group is finished.”Old Mr. Leedon coughed up a mouthful of blood.“What did you say?!”The smile on Marcus’s lips deepened.“Cecilia was the one controlling Leedon Group’s shares all these years. Grandpa, you sold off Leedon Group with your own hands.”His grandfather flew into a rage.“You worthless fool! Get those shares back! That was my life’s work! And you gave all of it to that old Summer bastard’s granddaughter? Marcus, I should have killed Cecilia too back then. Leaving that little curse alive is what destroyed the Leedon family!”Marcus could feel the hatred Mr. Leedon held toward the Summer family, and toward Cecilia.All these years, he had been blind.He

Marcus watched the helicopter carrying Cecilia disappear into the distance.His own helicopter had already landed on the lawn.But he didn’t move for a long time.His bloodshot eyes were filled with pain.Cecilia’s final words kept echoing in his mind.She had said that no explanation mattered anymore.Her weak, exhausted voice had been full of disappointment and finality.He had hurt Cecilia so deeply, yet she never once lashed out at him.And the cruelest revenge she gave him was this—she disappeared from his world completely.Marcus collapsed.He fell seriously ill and was rushed to the hospital.After three days and three nights of emergency treatment, he finally survived.Only one person came to see him.Donovan.He said, “Marcus, the bridal boutique where you and Lucy held that wedding… it belonged to Cecilia.”Marcus fell into complete despair.He ripped the IV needle from the back of his hand.Blood streamed down as he rushed out like a madman and headed stra
