Till the End of a Loveless Vow Chapter 14
In the study of Riverview Villa, the large computer screen displayed video footage, playing segment by segment.On the screen, an old wooden cabin stood quietly by the lake, with a willow tree beside it. The long branches swayed in the wind, making a soft rustling sound. On that late autumn afternoon, the sound was strangely calming.Felix didn’t know how long he had been watching when, finally, a young woman appeared on the screen. Instantly, he sat up straight, his eyes locking onto her.Closer and closer she came, until her face became clear.It wasn’t her.Like a massive weight being lifted off his chest, Felix exhaled deeply and leaned back in his chair, pressing his fingers hard against his temples.This was more exhausting than closing a billion-dollar deal.The cabin remained eerily still. Time seemed to have passed it by without leaving a trace.Felix stared at the screen, but his mind began to wander.“Look, Luna!” A young boy’s voice echoed in his memory. He remov

Sharp cries echoed through the hallway."Felix, Felix…"Felix opened the door just as Stella collapsed into his arms, trembling, tears streaming down her face like rain."Felix, I dreamed of Lily! I saw her crying, screaming in pain. Please, Felix, help me. Help me save her."Suddenly, she pushed him away and, barefoot, ran down the stairs, her voice frantic. "I heard her. She’s crying. Lily, don’t be afraid. I’m coming to find you!"She rushed from room to room, flinging open doors as she went."Lily, where are you? Mommy has chocolate for you. I promise, this time, you can eat as much as you want, okay?"Her voice trembled, thick with emotion, a mix of tenderness and guilt.Lily had always loved sweets, but her weak health had kept her from having too many. Now, Stella’s words felt like a net tightening around Felix’s chest, making it hard for him to breathe."Enough!" Felix grabbed her wrist, his gaze heavy. "I’m taking you back to bed."In the bedroom, Stella lay quietly

Morning sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, casting a golden hue across the room.Felix slowly opened his eyes on the European-style bed, feeling disoriented. For a brief moment, he couldn’t even remember where he was. His gaze fell on a framed photo by the bedside.It had been taken at sunset by a creek in the countryside."Come on, just one smile!" Luna had begged, holding up a finger, her face full of playful innocence.Faced with such a joyful Luna, Felix’s heart had softened in an instant.The shutter clicked, freezing the moment in time.In the photo, Luna clung to his arm, grinning at the camera, while he looked down at her, his smile soft and gentle.It was the only photo they ever had together.A bitter smile tugged at Felix’s lips.They had been married for five years, but he had never even taken a proper wedding photo with her.Back then, his heart had been consumed by hatred. Every second spent with her felt like torture.Each time he saw her laug

Felix sat down on Orion’s small bed, his fingers gently tracing the angel-patterned sheets, which had been Luna’s favorite design and color.“You said I was your angel,” Luna’s voice echoed in his mind. “But I hope one day, our child will be the angel for both of us.”He lay back on the bed, trying to feel closer to her, as if lying there could somehow bridge the distance between them.Then, something caught his eye. A black edge was sticking out from beneath the pillow.It was her notebook.Almost without thinking, Felix picked it up.For a moment, he just stared at it. A voice in his head told him not to open it, but his hands moved on their own, flipping the notebook open.“Today was Orion’s first day of school. My little boy is growing up. He’s starting preschool. Time flies so fast. It’s been three years, and every day I’ve been wishing he would grow up faster. But now that he’s getting bigger, I feel strangely empty.After dropping him off, I stayed in his room, feeling p

On the 28th floor of City Center Tower, the floor-to-ceiling windows provided a panoramic view of the city. Felix stood by the window, a cigarette between his fingers, lost in thought.A man with glasses stood in front of the desk, his head slightly bowed. “Mr. Lincoln, based on the samples you provided, we’ve thoroughly tested the DNA sequences. The results show that the child’s DNA is complete and accurate. The only way there could be a mismatch is if the child was never yours or Ms. Stella’s in the first place.”Felix turned around, his expression unreadable. “How accurate are these results?”The light from the window outlined Felix’s sharp figure, casting his face in shadow. His emotions were impossible to read, making him seem even more formidable.The man had expected this question. After a brief hesitation, he placed the report on the desk. “Mr. Lincoln, with today’s medical technology, the chance of error in a DNA test is extremely low.”“I just need to know how low,” Feli

The wait felt excruciatingly slow. Felix turned toward the window, trying to occupy his mind.Outside, he heard the sound of laughter floating up from the garden below.He opened the window, and the view expanded before him, the joyful sound of laughter carried clearly by the wind.A little boy was giggling, clutching a ball as a young man chased him, both of them lost in their playful game.“Daddy, come catch me!” The boy giggled, darting behind a tree. He quickly covered his mouth with his hand, his eyes wide with mischief as he scanned his surroundings.The young father pretended to be puzzled, calling softly as he walked past the tree, “Where could you be, little one? You’re hiding so well.”The boy’s face lit up with delight, barely able to contain his laughter. Just as he was about to laugh out loud, his father spun around, swooping him up in his arms, making the boy burst into even louder, contagious laughter.Snap.The window handle broke off in Felix’s grip. He looked

In a nearby city, Golden Bay Gardens, the street was deserted, not a soul in sight. Occasionally, the wind stirred, sending leaves swirling through the air. One gently landed on a young man’s head.He reached up, plucking the leaf between his pale fingers. As the sunlight filtered through the leaf, a smile, warmer than the sun itself, spread across his face.Bailey glanced at the takeout in his hand, his smile growing even softer as he walked toward his destination.He stood at the door of Apartment 301, Building 6, and pressed the doorbell. Footsteps hurried inside.“I’m coming,” a familiar, cheerful voice called. The door opened, revealing Luna’s smiling face.Bailey stepped inside, placing the takeout on the dining table, moving with a practiced ease. “Luna, how are the kids doing? Any discomfort today?” he asked softly.Luna rubbed her temples, looking exhausted but smiling gently. “No, the baby was good today. Lily, too. But seeing her take so much medicine at such a young a

Heaven sure knew how to play tricks on people. In Luna’s darkest moments, she was reminded that she had a daughter.Was this some kind of compensation?Luna gazed at Lily’s innocent little face, gently kissing her forehead and cheeks. With their foreheads pressed together, she laughed and cried at the same time. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t remember. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want to call me ‘Mom.’ As long as you’re by my side, that’s all I need.”Lily blinked her big eyes, staring up at Luna’s tear-filled gaze. She didn’t quite understand why Aunt Luna was acting this way or how she suddenly became Aunt Luna’s daughter.Seeing the confusion in Lily’s expressive eyes, Luna wiped her own tears and hugged her tightly again, her voice hoarse. “Lily, it’s okay if you don’t want to call me ‘Mom.’ It’s my fault for not being there for you all these years. But from now on, I’ll always be by your side.”In her heart, Lily softly whispered the word, “Mom.”Somehow, Aunt Luna becom
