No matter what Nathan said, Crystal did not reply. “Of course, you will regret betraying me,” Nathan continued. “Unfortunately, time cannot be reversed. You cannot undo the things that you have done, and for the rest of your life, you will be miserable.” Crystal remained silent and expressionless, and her indifferent attitude made him extremely angry. “You will regret this, won’t you?” “Yes.” Crystal smiled meekly and said, “I will regret it very much.” It was the truth, but she hid her pain as best she could.

My tone was steady, as though I were merely stating a fact. Silas’s face drained of all color. He knew, deep down, that it was his own doing—the trust he shattered with his own hands. He clutched my arm like a drowning man grasping for a lifeline. “We still have time. We have so much time ahead of us. Please…” I shook my head. “Silas, the marks of hurt never fade.

He asked, growing more and more despondent. It was an anomalous situation as his help only made me flare. "I feel like pushing you off a yacht!" I snapped at the yacht, trying to make him recall some memories. I still had my face. Why was he pretending like I was wearing a mask? Or was he suffering from memory loss? "I'm sorry about that...

I should leave and not stay here.

he whispered under his breath, the name slipping past his lips like a fragile secret. The sound of her name carried the weight of a thousand emotions—longing, regret, and the bitter taste of lost opportunities. He closed his eyes briefly, as though the darkness behind his eyelids could shield him from the sting of those memories. He had thought time would make it easier to forget, but the ache in his chest proved otherwise. It was as if her presence had never truly left him, lingering like a shadow, stretching across the years. The words felt bitter on his tongue, as if they were laced with a poison that still had the power to hurt. "Why is it so hard to forget you?"

I said feeling bitter. I didn’t bother looking at him, he will always see me as a disappointment. I had thought we had passed that stage, I thought he had forgiven me but guess I thought wrong. Father will always think I would return to Henry anytime. “Look Gwen I’m not asking because I care about my reputation or anything. You have been in love once and you got your heart broken, and need I remind you that it wasn’t your heart alone. Your ex took your child from you in tricky ways. All I’m asking is this; are you going to be with Henry again if he one day wakes up from his sleep and decides to make you his again? Are you going to be with him?”

She… she really did it. With a flare of fury, I hurled my copy of the certificate into the trash. “Scarlett Taylor!” I roared, my voice shaking with rage. “Let’s see how long you can play it tough. You will regret this. I swear it.” Without even turning her head, she replied: “The only thing I regret in my life… was marrying you.” She flagged down a cab, got in, and disappeared without a single glance back. Cold.

“I gifted you that bag on your birthday. You promised me you would cherish it forever, just like you said our friendship meant everything. And now you tell your mom to throw it away like garbage?
