CHAPTER 78

last update Last Updated: 2025-01-19 13:43:38

For the past few days, Vincent has been keeping a close watch on me. It’s suffocating, knowing that he finds time for his own twisted rage—to monitor my every move, ensuring I won’t attempt to escape. His eyes follow me, not out of love, but out of sheer possessiveness, as if I’m a possession he refuses to let slip away.

And he’s right. We both know it. I can’t leave. Not when he’s made sure to block every possible exit from my life. He’s trapped me in a prison of debts and obligations, shutting every door and locking me into a life I no longer recognize as my own.

I haven’t given up—at least, not completely. But I no longer have the strength to fight him or argue over things that feel like losing battles. Every day, I wake up hoping for the right moment to finally come—the moment when I can settle my debts, walk away, and never look back. But that moment feels so far away, almost unreachable, and the weight of waiting is exhausting.

I’m tired of everything. Tired of Vincent’s w

    Seeing her again reminded me of everything I’d been running from, of the love I’d never been able to forget. And as I sat there, watching her from a distance, I couldn’t help but think that maybe fate wasn’t done with us yet. Maybe this was our second chance. I stayed at the counter, pretending to nurse the drink in front of me, but my thoughts were too loud to let me enjoy anything. I couldn’t stop analyzing her every move—how she tucked her hair behind her ear, how her lips curved into a hesitant smile, how her eyes darted around the room as if she was searching for something—or maybe someone. Was she here alone? Who was that woman with her earlier? And why did she seem so... lost? I clenched my fist, trying to hold back the storm of emotions building inside me. It had been years, but seeing her again made me feel everything I’d buried so deeply. I wanted to walk over, to say something, anything—but the fear of her reaction rooted me to my seat. Would she even recognize me? Woul

    "To check if I have another man? To make sure I remember that I’m nothing without you?" Her words hit me like a punch to the gut. What the hell had she been through? She looked at me with such pain, such anger, and yet all I could see was her vulnerability. It tore me apart to hear her speak this way, to see her reduced to this. I fought the urge to grab her, to shake her, to tell her that she was everything—that she was strong, beautiful, and didn’t need a man like Vincent to define her worth. But now wasn’t the time. She was too lost in her emotions, too drunk to comprehend anything I could say. Instead, I stayed silent, letting her vent, letting her pour out the anguish she had been carrying. But inside, my resolve hardened. Whatever Vincent had done, whatever pain he had caused her—I would make it my mission to ensure Kirsten never felt like this again. She deserved better, and if she couldn’t see that right now, then I would make damn sure she did someday. She began hitting

    Her eyes fluttered open, hazy with sleep and intoxication, but they met mine with a clarity that left me breathless. Her lips curved into a soft, dreamy smile, and before I could process what was happening, she leaned forward, closing the distance between us. Her lips pressed against mine in a kiss that sent a jolt of electricity through my entire body. I froze for a moment, utterly stunned, before my instincts took over. I couldn’t hold back the smile that spread across my face, even as her kiss deepened. Between our kisses, I murmured her name, unable to believe this was real. My hands found their way to her face, cupping her cheeks gently as I poured every ounce of my emotions into that moment. Her lips moved against mine with a hunger that matched my own, and it wasn’t just the alcohol—it was something deeper, something raw and undeniable. I kissed her back with everything I had, savoring the way she responded, the way she clung to me as if I were her anchor in a storm. Her fin

    I pulled back, my forehead resting against hers, our breaths mingling. “Kirsten,” I murmured, my voice trembling. “I’ll give you everything you want, everything you need. But let’s do this the right way. When you’re ready, when we both are.” Her eyes softened, and for a moment, I thought she understood. But then she leaned into me, her lips finding mine again, and I realized I was powerless against her. I was hers, always had been, and tonight, I would give her whatever she asked for. As I kissed her again, I made a silent promise to myself: no matter where this night led us, I would do everything in my power to prove that I was worthy of her. This wasn’t just a fleeting moment—it was the beginning of everything I’d been waiting for. I surrendered to her completely, letting her take the lead as I navigated the delicate line between control and passion. Her hands roamed over me with a hunger that both exhilarated and broke me. This wasn’t just about the physical; this was the culmin

    “No matter what.” Morning arrived, and as I opened my eyes, I was met with the emptiness of the bed beside me. She was gone—just as I had expected. A bitter sigh escaped my lips as I raked my fingers through my disheveled hair, sitting up slowly. I couldn’t help but wonder—did she realize I wasn’t Vincent? Did she finally understand that the man she thought she was with wasn’t the one she once loved? My gaze drifted to the pillow and sheets where she had lain, the faint scent of her still lingering. My chest tightened as my eyes fell on the small red stain on the pristine white fabric. The realization hit me like a freight train. I was her first. Kirsten had been with Vincent for years, but he had never claimed her in the way I did last night. She gave herself to me, not to him. That knowledge sent a surge of possessiveness coursing through me—a selfish, primal satisfaction that I couldn’t quite suppress. She chose me, even if unknowingly. But beyond the pride was something deeper

    "To the company," I instructed the driver curtly. The ride was silent, save for the low hum of the engine. My thoughts were my only companion, cycling between Kirsten’s tearful face, her whispered pleas, and the resolve I felt to make things right. The mere idea of Vincent’s name on her lips while she lay with me was enough to harden my expression further. Arriving at the company, I stepped out and adjusted my coat, taking in the towering glass facade of the building I had once called my second home. It felt surreal to be back after all these years, but this wasn’t a time for sentimentality. I walked through the grand entrance, my presence commanding attention as employees turned their heads, whispering among themselves. I barely registered their reactions as Robert approached, falling into step beside me. "Vincent has been notified of the meeting. He’s waiting for you in the conference room," Robert informed me, his voice steady. "Good," I replied, my tone firm. "I want privacy.

    "Keep this information between us for now," I instructed, my voice cold and resolute. "I’ll deal with him personally. I don’t want anyone else interfering." "Understood, sir," Robert said, giving me a nod of acknowledgment. As I turned back toward the hallway, my mind was a storm of thoughts. Betrayal from a brother was a wound that cut deep, but it also fueled my resolve. If he thought his schemes could weaken me, he was gravely mistaken. This wasn’t just about reclaiming my company or proving my strength anymore. It was about protecting what I held dear—from enemies, strangers, and even family. If my brother had chosen to stand against me, then so be it. I would face him head-on, and he would learn the hard way that I wasn’t someone to be trifled with. I walked briskly down the corridor, the weight of Robert's revelation still heavy on my mind. My brother had always been ambitious, but I hadn’t anticipated he’d stoop this low.

    There was an aura about him that Vincent never had, one of power and authority. His sharp features were sculpted with precision, every line of his face seeming to demand attention. His eyes were dark and piercing, holding an intensity that made my stomach churn with nerves.God, why did he have to look so… divine? I struggled to find my voice, but no words came. I was completely disarmed, my usual composure shattered in an instant. His presence was overwhelming, and for the first time, I felt truly intimidated by a man. Not because he was threatening, but because he seemed to see right through me, like he could uncover every secret, every mistake I had ever made, just by looking into my eyes.His gaze was unwavering, locking onto mine with an intensity that made my knees weak. My throat felt dry, and my mind raced for something, anything, to say to break the silence. But the words wouldn’t come.

    “A mistake?” he repeated, his voice low. “Is that what you really think?” “Yes,” I said firmly, even as my heart betrayed me by pounding harder in my chest. “It was a mistake. And I don’t want anything to do with you.” For a moment, he didn’t respond. His gaze bore into mine, searching for something I wasn’t sure I could give. Then, to my surprise, he sighed and stepped back. “If that’s how you feel,” he said quietly, “then I’ll respect it. But I hope you’ll give me the chance to prove you wrong.” My voice failed me, caught somewhere between disbelief and panic. I stood there, frozen, unable to find the words to respond. Silence stretched between us like an unspoken tension I couldn’t bear to break. Finally, I managed to speak, though my voice came out quieter than I intended. “I... I have a boyfriend, you see,” I stammered, hoping to put some distance between us with those words. He nodded, his expression unreadable. “I know.” My eyes snapped back to his face, wide with shock.

    Vincent don't respect me, and it's my first time to encounter a man who respect a woman's word. I watched as he exited the restaurant, his confident stride drawing the attention of everyone in the room. My stomach churned with a mix of emotions—confusion, frustration, and something else I couldn’t quite name. One thing was certain: this wasn’t the last I’d see of him. And deep down, I wasn’t sure if that terrified me… or thrilled me. I don’t even know his name… I never thought to ask, and yet here he is, standing before me, already knowing mine. For a moment, I wondered how he could possibly know, but then my eyes drifted down to my chest. Of course—my name tag. A small, wry laugh escaped my lips as I shook my head. How silly of me. He didn’t need to ask when the answer was right there. Still, knowing that didn’t ease the turmoil within me. The memory of that night—that forbidden night—had been haunting me relentlessly, and now, seeing him again, those feelings resurfaced with
