Seduced by My Childhood Sweetheart’s Brother Chapter 419
That night, Queenie came back in a foul mood. Her eyes were red and her body was shuddering as if she was trying to contain her emotions.Didn't she go to watch a movie with Andrew? Why didn't she come back with him? Did they quarrel? What happened?I asked her what happened. She told me that she ran into Flynn downstairs and they argued. As for what the argument was about, she didn't tell me, and I didn't want to pry further. We all had our secrets.In the following days, Andrew came to pick up and drop off Queenie tirelessly. Flynn would always follow behind them, but he never pestered them. He watched as Andrew and Queenie grew closer and closer.In the end, Flynn decided to leave. Before he boarded the plane, he texted Queenie: "Sorry. Take care."That night, Queenie bawled her eyes out.I knew what she wanted.If Flynn had come and told her that he was willing to forsake his family, wealth, and wedding arrangement for her—if he asked Queenie if she was willing to leave with

What Queenie said gave me a glimmer of hope. I snapped back to reality, grabbed my phone, and dialed the number that I remembered by heart.I heard the monotonous beep from the other end of the line. It persisted until the call ended automatically. No one picked up the call.I didn't want to give up, so I made the call once more. Again, no one picked up. I kept trying and trying until a female mechanical voice told me that the number I called was no longer available."This isn't right. Something bad must've happened to Colin. I need to find him." Frantically, I tried to get up to pack my luggage. But my body was seized by fear. My trembling legs couldn't hold my weight, and I slumped to the ground. A searing pain spread from my knees and elbows."Calm down, Luna. We don't know everything yet. You won't be able to do anything even if you're there. Besides, the professionals are rescuing the victims. You can't do anything there. They won't let anyone enter the affected area." As a ma

After Felix listened to what I had to say, he told me calmly that since it was a major incident, his parents had the right to know. Besides, he needed to discuss it with his family, so he asked me to give him some time.We agreed to call each other after ten minutes before we hung up.Queenie and Andrew looked at me with an incredulous expression. They must have assumed that I was a naive, spoiled princess. Moments ago, I was a wailing wimp. Hearing me relaying everything to Felix clearly and interrupting him boldly twice must have changed their view of me.I shrugged. "Colin is in danger. I can't be a crybaby anymore. I must stay strong."Then, I called Professor King to ask if he knew that Colin had encountered a mudslide.He told me that he was about to call me, but I had reached him first. He had seen the news and learned about the mudslide in Lagado. He then told his superior about the disaster and Colin's loss of contact. The school held an emergency meeting and decided to s

I turned Felix's suggestion down. I told him that even if no one wanted to bring me there, I'd find a way to go there.I was willing to forgo my life for Colin. A mudslide was no threat.Also, if something bad truly happened to Colin, I didn't mind being taken by the second mudslide either. At least Colin and I died together.Colin's phone remained switched off. With my phone in my hands, I sat on the couch. I continued to dial his number repeatedly. Originally, Andrew planned to go home. But seeing how distraught I was and fearing that Queenie couldn't handle me alone, he stayed.I did not feel sleepy at all that night. Queenie tried to console me, but I was still too afraid to close my eyes. Every time I did, I'd see a mudslide that lay waste to everything it passed through.Andrew then told me that if I did not sleep, I would be tired tomorrow. Someone without sufficient sleep would not be allowed to join the rescue effort. He told me that if I wanted to find Colin, I'd need

If Queenie dated him, she might be able to get her happy ending.Even the most delicious food would turn bland and tasteless when one was at the receiving end of tragic news. Nevertheless, I forced myself to eat as much as possible as I knew a battle of attrition awaited me. Without sufficient rest and stamina, I wouldn't be able to last long. I'd be a burden.That said, I had no idea what I was expected to and should do when I arrived at Lagado. I was going there without a plan.After being pampered by my parents and Colin for more than 20 years, I had become sheltered and complacent. When things went awry, I did not know what to do except to cry.Once I found Colin, I had to learn to become stronger and more independent.The school sent three teachers and three students. The students were all from the student council in the undergrad and postgrad faculties. They were also popular figures on the campus. They were studious and diligent.Notably, the tall and handsome Winston Moye

I withdrew my gaze. While Winston was pleasing to the eyes, I already had a Prince Charming named Colin. I wouldn't be enticed by other handsome men anymore. That said, everyone loved eye candy. I loved Colin, but that did not stop me from appreciating handsome men.Still, now wasn't the time to indulge in eye candy. The tragic news involving Colin filled me with worries and fear.As soon as we exited the airport, the two other lecturers from Jesselton College based in Lagado came and ushered us to a bus. Professor King went ahead and discussed the latest update with them in a hushed voice. I was sitting behind him, but regardless of how hard I tried to eavesdrop on their conversation, I couldn't hear a thing. Their voices were practically miniscule.I grew more anxious. If only I could grow a pair of wings and fly to the mountain."My grandmother often told me that in dire situations, men proposed while God disposed. Mudslides are destructive, but people have survived them befor

The bus we boarded was followed by two trucks covered by wraps. I didn't know what they were transporting. Perhaps tools for the rescue mission and logistics.The atmosphere inside the bus was rather stuffy. No one spoke.We left the city center and headed to a muddy path. The mountains should be right in front.The dangerous path was narrow and muddy. Several days of heavy downpours only made the bumpy path even more slippery. No one could tell if we were traveling on a straight path or water puddles.The bus proceeded very slowly. The constant rocking motion made me sick. I almost threw up several times.Colin's phone remained switched off. It had been two days now. I grew more and more anxious as news of him continued to elude me.Looking at the endless path before me, tears welled up several times in my eyes. But I forced myself not to cry.I told myself not to cry when it wasn't the time to cry. I needed the energy when I searched for Colin later.As we ventured deeper, se

So that was why. I knew it. If Colin had made the decision himself to attend the conference, he would have told me earlier.I whispered to Professor King, "I would've done the same."He felt guilty after hearing what I said. "I can only hope that Colin is safe. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself. He wouldn't have been in danger if I hadn't nominated him. He's my best student. His safety means everything to me.""Don't say that, Professor King. No pain, no gain. This is a trial Colin must undertake. Come. I have faith in him. He must be waiting for us to rescue him somewhere."It was my turn to console him. Moved, he patted on my shoulder and nodded. Tears welled up in his eyes. "Yes, we must have faith. Let's go."Professor King and I helped each other as we walked with John to lead the way. Behind us were staff members who wore the same uniform from an organization. They were around 27 or 28 years old, and they carried many things with them. They seemed to be struggl

Luna furiously scolded me, asserting that I didn't deserve Queenie's love and that Queenie had been blind to my true colors all those years. Driven mad by desperation, I chased after Queenie, determined to tell her I was wrong and plead for another chance to prove myself. However, the young man intervened, delivering a swift and punishing combination of punches and kicks that knocked me to the ground. Humiliated, I struggled to get up and fight back, unwilling to lose to another man.Despite his youthful appearance, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Queenie was undeniable. It was a blend of love, desire, and possessiveness only a man could understand.I was consumed by the thought that he wasn't worthy of my precious Queenie's love.Nevertheless, my body felt heavy and powerless. It was as if the strength had been drained from me. The blows rained down on me, bringing with them a strange sense of relief amidst the pain. Part of me yearned for him to kick me harder, inflict

I wanted nothing more than to run to Queenie, to hold her tightly and tell her how much I missed her during those endless days apart. I wanted to kiss her deeply and feel the warmth of her embrace. I called out, "Queenie, I'm here."Seeing me seemed to jolt Queenie from her joyous state, replacing it with a vacant expression. Mere moments before, she had been smiling brightly, her eyes aglow with happiness. Now, she appeared lost, her initial elation dissipating into a blank, unresponsive gaze.I couldn't understand why she had turned so distant upon seeing me. The love and joy that once shone in her eyes were nowhere to be found. As I observed her, I wondered if our time apart had caused her to forget. Or perhaps the events of the past had wounded her so profoundly that she had stopped waiting for me.The thoughts terrified me, and I dared not ask for fear of confirming my suspicions. All I wanted was to hold her, kiss her, and tell her how much I missed her. Yet, it seemed tha

I had no interest in Daniela's pregnancy, so I kicked her out of the house. My friends came to console me, each expressing their sympathies with a drink because they didn't know how else to comfort me.The money I had sent to Queenie's account was quickly returned as the account had been closed. Her phone number became unreachable, and when I sought her at her parents' home, I found the elderly couple waiting anxiously for their daughter's return. I lost not only Queenie but any connection to her. I grew disinterested in everything, neglecting my company and spending my days in a drunken haze.Then, my uncle came. We drank through the night as he shared tales of his hardships, the painful memories of his mother, and the years he spent alone, suffering.He said, "Everyone has their fate, Flynn. And choosing one thing often means losing another. Just as you've chosen to fight for the family business, you've sacrificed a part of yourself. But you must rise and fight me with all you'v

Queenie would then jump off the cliff, leaving me to jolt awake in a cold sweat. I endured each twilight in my hopeless vigil, counting down the days.On the 75th day, the door finally unlocked. I stepped outside and realized that this was the neighborhood where Queenie and I lived. All this time, we had been mere yards apart.My mom truly knew how to break a person's spirit. All I had to do was lift my head to see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.I stumbled toward our home, my wounds screaming as I desperately called for Queenie. But the immaculate house stood eerily silent, echoing my footsteps like thunder.Except for Queenie, every possession remained meticulously in place—the exquisite clothes, expensive jewelry, and designer cosmetics.Queenie was gone, and the thought of losing her drove me into a frenzy.I collapsed in the middle of the room, sobbing uncontrollably. Regret consumed me. I should have never let my family's threats manipulate me and left Queenie to

I clenched my fists, barely resisting the urge to rush over to Queenie's side. All I wanted was to embrace her and whisper assurances that I would protect her, always. But I knew I had no right to do so.My dad's threat hung heavy in my mind, and the stares of Daniela and her mother bore into Queenie like daggers. One wrong move or word and those blades would descend upon Queenie, cutting her to shreds.The pain was unbearable. I felt sorry for Queenie. I was powerless and couldn't help her. With all my heart, I wished for her to stay strong and survive. She deserved better than me. Daniela's mother slapped Queenie, calling her a whore and a homewrecker, accusing her of seducing other people's boyfriends.Queenie stood rigidly, her gaze filled with humiliation. Her lips trembled, and the light in her eyes gradually faded.I winced in agony but held myself together, picking up Daniela and walking away.Countless times afterward, I berated myself for choosing to take Daniela away

We both knew the truth—neither of us could cross the chasm that had formed between our hearts.After that, I went home almost every day. We managed to maintain a semblance of normalcy in our day-to-day lives. We prepared sumptuous dinners and tended to our garden. I even considered adopting a pet to keep Queenie company while I was away.However, no matter how hard we tried, we couldn't rekindle the warmth we had once shared. Queenie hardly smiled anymore. No matter what I did to cheer her up, she would only give a half-hearted smile, her eyes remaining cold and distant.I knew something had transpired during our separation, but she refused to discuss it. My attempts to uncover the truth through private investigators were in vain. Any evidence had been meticulously erased.Eventually, I realized Queenie was simply biding her time, waiting for the moment when she would be forced to relinquish all hope and leave.A month later, my mother joyfully told me that Daniela was pregnant an

I grabbed a brush from the bathroom and scrubbed myself furiously, desperate to wash away the overwhelming sense of filth. Even as the rough bristles tore into my skin, drawing blood and causing searing pain, I felt no closer to feeling clean.My mind was consumed with thoughts of Queenie and the nearly five years we had spent together—the happy moments, the arguments, every single memory.At that moment, I realized I was terrified. Never before had I experienced such abject fear. Knowing Queenie's uncompromising stance on love and fidelity, I knew she would never forgive me once she discovered my transgression.She would undoubtedly turn and leave, heedless of any pleas I might make. I probably wouldn't even have the courage to ask for her forgiveness in the face of her justified anger.I regretted everything. If I had listened to my friends and taken Queenie away from all this, none of this would have happened. But I had hesitated. Even now, I couldn't be certain if my hesitati

Yesterday afternoon, my dad called and demanded that I make a decision within two days, or they would take action.I felt cornered because I genuinely didn't know how to talk to Queenie about this. The mere idea of her packing her belongings and leaving, accompanied by the unspeakable anguish it would inflict upon me, was a burden too heavy to bear.I wasn't sure if I could ever have a semblance of normality in my life again after that.So, I gathered some friends to drink with me. I drank heavily because I had made a decision—a disgraceful, heartless decision. The thought of what I would have to face the next day made life seem hopeless, so I drank even more.Before losing consciousness, I handed my car keys to my assistant, using my last bit of clarity to tell him to take me home no matter what state I was in.Even if it meant returning to the Hayes family's residence, he should not leave me out on the streets. Despite the imminent breakup, I wanted to part ways with Queenie in

My mom proved to be even more ruthless than my dad. She found me, dropped to her knees without a word, and begged me. She reminded me of the years they had spent raising me, pleading that I ensure they wouldn't be left without a sense of security in their old age.In essence, they were pressuring me to abandon everything. I was to pursue money and power for their sake, secure the Hayes family's head position, and ensure our grip on wealth and influence. Their priority was maintaining their luxurious, elevated lifestyle. My happiness, my desires—whether I even wanted those things—meant nothing to them. Sometimes, it felt like I was nothing more than a tool for achieving their ambitions.My dad told me bluntly that he would go after Queenie if I didn't comply. He said, "You're right. I'm incapable of outmaneuvering your uncle. But no matter how incompetent I am, I can easily make Queenie's life in Harveyton unbearable."To be honest, that day was the coldest my heart had ever felt
