Till the End of a Loveless Vow Chapter 49
Felix watched, dazed, as Luna and Lily’s figures grew smaller in the distance. He heard footsteps behind him and turned, holding out his hands with a cold, steely expression. “Let’s go.”The guard hesitated as he brought out the handcuffs. Just as he was about to lock them around Felix’s wrists, he asked casually, “Mr. Lincoln, that woman who came to visit you, she’s the new CEO of Lincoln Corporation, right? I heard she’s planning to leave the country with her kids. Was this visit just to hand over the reins? Will you be resuming your role as CEO once you’re out?”What? Luna’s leaving with the kids?Felix’s head snapped up, his jaw tightening, and a vein throbbed on his forehead. Grabbing the guard by the collar, he demanded, “Where did you hear that?”The guard trembled, visibly shaken. He had expected this kind of reaction. Felix’s icy stare and whole demeanor practically screamed stay away. All he wanted was to turn around and make a run for it.But he couldn’t. Fate had pic

Felix stood in the middle of the bustling airport terminal, watching as people hurried by with their luggage, each one with someplace to be. The whole world felt like it was spinning, endlessly, leaving him disoriented. A chill ran down his spine, even though he felt like he was burning up inside. He wanted to move, to chase after them, but his feet felt rooted to the spot, lost.Then, just at the edge of his vision, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure holding a little girl’s hand, slipping through the security checkpoint.“Luna! Lily!” he shouted, sprinting towards them.A security guard in uniform stepped in front of him, saying politely, “Sir, I’m going to need to see your boarding pass and ID.”“Move!” Felix snarled, swatting the man’s arm aside as he tried to push his way through.Two more guards quickly blocked his path, their expressions firm. “I’m sorry, sir, but by regulation, we need to see your boarding pass,” one of them said, resolute.Felix pointed toward the

“No, please! Not in front of our son!”Luna Jasper sobbed, pleading as she stayed still, too afraid to move and risk disturbing her child, Orion Lincoln. She didn’t dare fight back.On the stark white bed in the morgue, Orion lay motionless, deeply asleep, lifeless.Luna was pinned at the foot of the bed, while the man behind her, the one she once loved so deeply, was destroying her completely.Felix Lincoln’s cold, mocking voice broke the silence. "Luna, this is a morgue. You know what that means, right? It’s a place for the dead. That little brat is already gone. Even if I screw you right here, he’s not going to see anything!"Luna clutched the bedsheet tightly, gasping for air in sharp, shallow breaths.Her beloved son, eyes closed, was an angel. How could Orion not see?Orion had once told her he was a little man, that he would protect his mom.If he could see his father humiliating her like this, how much pain would he be in?“Felix, he’s your son… your son!”“My son?

“My child’s a love child? What about Stella Lewis’s?”Luna laughed through her tears. “Stella brought that kid back from abroad, isn’t he a love child, too? But what about you?”She had always wanted to never mention Stella again, to never bring up her child.She tried to pretend she didn’t know. If she didn’t speak about it, maybe it hadn’t really happened.All she wanted was to live with Felix. Felix was her world, the one who could give her the support she needed.After all, she had no mother, her father was in a coma, and she had to care for her sick son. As long as Felix was there, she could keep going.She didn’t want to lose him, so no matter how many provocations or pieces of evidence came her way, she acted like she hadn’t seen them.She tried desperately, humbly, to maintain a fragile peace, but it all came crashing down."Her child is so much better than yours," Felix sneered at Luna.Luna nodded, feeling like her heart had stopped. It was as if someone else were sp

Luna hung up the phone, still sitting on the bench. She wanted to get up and go to Felix, to demand Orion’s body back.But she couldn’t move. Doctors kept approaching her, handing her forms to sign.She couldn’t leave. She was terrified that if she missed signing even one form, her father’s life would slip away.And then she would truly have nothing left.She wished she could split herself in two, so one part of her could go find her son.The sound of high heels clicking on the floor grew closer. Luna didn’t look up until a pair of red heels came into view."Hiding out in the hospital, Luna? Trying to dodge the divorce?"Luna slowly raised her eyes to meet Stella’s. She was beautiful, the kind of beauty that made people hate her.Luna stood up slowly. “Getting impatient, aren’t you? You really think you can replace me? Your sister was my father’s mistress for years, but she never got into the Jasper family because I didn’t allow it. And now you think you can come here and make

After a long pause, Luna responded."Take me to see Felix. I'll divorce him. I’m sure that’s what you want more than anything, seeing us divorced. If he’s not Orion’s father anymore, he won’t have the right to decide what happens to his body."Luna spoke as blood poured from her mouth, soaking the front of her clothes.Stella looked at her, shocked, as if she had seen a ghost. She had expected Luna to lash out, maybe even fight her.Luna saw right through her. "I’m not going to cause a scene here. I’ll change my clothes, and then you can take me to Felix."At Riverview Villa, Stella led Luna to the second floor and opened the door. "Felix, Luna insisted on seeing you. I had no choice but to bring her here."Luna stepped into the study, shut the door behind her, and locked it.Stella sneered, "What? Afraid Felix won’t want to see you and might take off? Guess you know your place."Luna looked at Felix, who was sitting at his desk. No one could imagine the cruel heart that lay be

Felix’s face twisted in shock. "Luna, stop!"Stella hadn’t even processed what was happening before blood began pouring from her, filling the room with the metallic smell of iron.Luna gritted her teeth as she glared at Stella. "I told you, I wasn’t going to fight you in the hospital. I was saving my strength to kill you! You deserve this. Orion was allergic to dapsone, and you put it in his food. That’s what killed him. I could have taken you to court, but now I want you to pay with your life!"Stella stared at Luna in terror. "Felix, Felix, help me, please… help me…"Felix shoved Luna aside and rushed to grab Stella, his gaze burning with rage as if he wanted to tear Luna apart."Luna, how dare you!"Luna gripped the knife tightly, as if afraid her fingerprints might slip off the Swiss army knife. "I’ve committed assault. That’s at least three years in prison, and with your connections, probably more. I sent a message when I walked into this room, and the police will be here an

Felix told himself this was a debt, one the Jasper family had to repay.As Luna was taken away, Felix believed she had acted impulsively and would eventually regret it. She would come back, begging him for help. And when she did, he would be ready with conditions.But the person who came to Riverview Villa wasn’t Luna. It was Bailey Green.Felix had once done a paternity test on Luna’s son and discovered that the child was Bailey's. And now this man had the nerve to show up?Bailey’s eyes were red. A grown man with red eyes. There was no need to guess why. It was because of Luna."What is it? You want me to testify for Luna? Claim she didn’t mean to hurt Stella? You’re hoping for a lighter sentence? Well, Stella’s in a deep coma from blood loss."Felix sat at the coffee bar in the first-floor lounge, calmly sipping his drink, not bothering to offer his old friend and classmate a seat.Bailey stood in the middle of the room. "I talked to Luna for a long time. I tried to convince

Seeing the sincerity in Felix’s eyes made Luna’s heart tighten. She pressed her lips together and nodded firmly.A weight seemed to lift from Felix’s chest. He reached out, covering Lily’s eyes with his hand as he leaned in, his lips brushing against Luna’s. That familiar blend of tobacco and cologne filled her senses, and her eyes stung with tears.She pressed a hand to her nose, her voice soft. “Felix, come back soon. Let’s leave the past behind us. After this, it’ll be you, me, and the kids together, as a family. Okay?”Felix’s expression faltered.Lily wrapped her little arms around his neck and whispered in his ear, “Daddy, I don’t care if it’s tough. I just want to be with you.”In the stroller, James stretched out his tiny hands, laughing. Felix reached for him, but his hands slipped through the air. James began to fuss, his cries growing louder, and Felix jolted awake, realizing it had only been a dream.Now here was Luna, offering a future together: “Let’s put everything

Lily leaned against the car window. Her face was full of excitement as she watched the scenery zip by. But as the landscape grew more and more desolate, she grew bored. Grabbing her doll, she hugged it close and turned to Luna. “Mom, where are we going?”Luna glanced over, noticing Lily's rosy cheeks and big, inquisitive eyes that reminded her so much of Felix. “We’re going to see your dad,” she replied with a smile, though her fingers tightened around the strap of her purse.Lily stopped fiddling with her doll, her brow furrowing as she thought for a moment. “But, Mom, didn’t you say Dad was far away? And that James and I had to grow up first?”Luna’s mind drifted back to when they’d first left for another country. Lily had asked, “When will I see Dad again?” Luna had stroked Lily’s hair, finally saying, “Dad’s far away. When you and James grow up, you’ll see him.”“Mom!” Lily tugged on Luna’s shoulder, jolting her back to the present. Luna smiled softly, reassuring her, “Aren’t

In the brightly lit private dining room 1608 at the Century Glimmer Hotel, Luna took a deep breath, then raised her glass with a smile as she addressed the man at the head of the table. “Commissioner Griffin, a toast to you!”She downed her glass in one go. Deputy Commissioner of Corrections Mark Griffin raised his own, chuckling. “Miss Emily, we’re not strangers. If you’ve got something on your mind, just say it. I’ll help if I can.”The implication was clear. If he couldn’t do it, she shouldn’t bother asking. Silently cursing him as an “old fox,” Luna kept her smile as she continued, “It’s really not a big deal. Just a small favor, something that should be easy enough for someone like you.”Seeing his expectant look, she went on, “Here’s the thing. I have a friend in prison, but it wasn’t really his fault. If I wanted to get him out, what would I need to do?”She slid an envelope across the table. Commissioner Griffin’s eyes flickered as he glanced at it, swirling his glass with

“Is Boss crying?” Mr. Zimmer thought to himself.He was stunned. To him, Luna had always been the symbol of strength, resilient and unbreakable. Yet, here she was, tears streaming down her face. “Boss, I didn’t mean it. Maybe it’s not true. Yeah, it could all just be a trick!” he stammered. Seeing Luna’s tear-streaked face, Mr. Zimmer was completely at a loss as sweat beaded along his forehead. What was Felix up to? How could someone as tough as her end up breaking down over just one comment from Mr. Zimmer?Wiping the sweat from his brows, he thought, “If the others find out I made Boss cry, they’ll tear me apart.”“It’s not fake. I know why he did it…” Luna’s voice faded as she broke down. Her uncontrollable sobs were tangled with a mix of regret, anger, and frustration.Mr. Zimmer stood there, helpless, pacing back and forth until her sobs finally started to subside. Luna wiped her nose, her voice raw and broken. “He never believed I was dead. He knew I wouldn’t just dis

Knock, knock—At the sound of the door, Luna pressed her fingers to her temples, her pen still moving over the documents in front of her. Mr. Zimmer quickly stepped forward, placing an express package on her desk. “Boss, you’ve got an urgent delivery.”As soon as Luna opened it, her eyes fell on three bold words at the top: *Equity Transfer Agreement.* She quickly pulled out the document, her gaze fixing on the signature at the bottom.Felix Lincoln.That familiar signature, once so strong and powerful, now felt heavy and confining to her. It was almost as if it was pinning her down, immobilizing her like nails in a chair.She glanced down, and the date stopped her cold. It was from a year ago.The document clearly stated that Felix had voluntarily transferred 90% of his shares in the company to her.Mr. Zimmer noticed his boss’s face go pale and hesitantly asked, “Boss, what is it?”Taking a deep breath, Luna replied in a strained voice, “It’s the equity transfer agreement f

Deep inside, a voice kept screaming, “Luna, it's over. Just leave. End it all here and now.” But somehow, her legs felt as if they were weighed down with lead, refusing to move even a single step.“Luna, you know what I’m talking about.”Felix looked at her, his expression softening as a thought crossed his mind. His eyes took on a pleading tone. “Can you please promise me one thing?”Luna glanced at him, almost amused. The powerful Felix, begging?He reached out as if to touch her, then pulled back, letting his hand drop to his side. His voice was low and steady. “Luna, I know I put you through hell, made you serve time. I owe you for that, and I’m paying for it. But when I’m in there, don’t marry anyone else. Don’t let our kids call another man ‘Dad.’ Just wait for me until I come back.”A sharp pang hit her, like acid rising from her stomach to her throat, bringing tears dangerously close. She felt both anger and bitter amusement.They weren’t even together anymore. How coul

In the courtroom, the judge struck the gavel solemnly. “This is session number 101 at Carson City Intermediate Court, Room 3. Both sides may begin their arguments.”The moment Felix entered the courtroom, he realized just how much he had missed her. His gaze locked onto Luna, as though he wanted to etch every detail of her face into his memory.Sensing his stare, Luna’s brow furrowed slightly before she cast her eyes down, listening quietly to her lawyer’s impassioned statement.Bang—The gavel fell once again.“Defendant, answer the prosecutor’s question!”Felix hadn’t listened to anything being said. It was irrelevant. His eyes stayed on Luna as he spoke, his tone calm. “I plead guilty. I admit to betraying the company and to all charges brought against me. I deserve this.”A wave of shock swept through the room. Faces registered the same emotions: surprise, disbelief, and confusion.This was what he had promised, wasn’t it?But as Felix confessed, Luna felt as if she had be
