Chapter 108

Author: Summer Blossom
Nathan firmly said, "Mr. Fowler, it's true I wasn't there when you two met or got to know each other. I didn't witness the seven years you and Macie spent as classmates. But based on my recent observations, Macie really doesn't love you anymore."

Edward's face darkened with rage. He was ready to lash out, but before he could speak, Nathan continued, "Didn't you buy Macie a new phone? I delivered it on your behalf. She didn't even want to accept it. She almost threw it straight into the trash.

"And that meal you had delivered. Do you know why she ate it? It was because I didn't tell her that it came from you. I told her that it was from the Fowler family. Otherwise, she might've poured it straight down the drain.

"Haven't you been in love before? Maybe with your ex-girlfriend? Don't you get it? The first sign a woman's stopped loving you is when she turns cold and distant. That's exactly what's happening now. Macie doesn't even answer your calls."

Edward stood frozen. His eyes were

    "Save those words for Macie, if she's still willing to listen," Nathan said, sighing."Then does that mean I still have a chance? I can explain everything to Macie!" Edward excitedly said, his eyes lighting up."There's probably no chance. Didn't you see how decisively Macie left? Her heart was already completely shattered," Nathan said.But then he recalled Macie's words. She had said, "Edward only listens to what he wants to listen". So, Nathan forced a smile and said, "You should at least try. You won't have regrets that way.""I definitely won't let anything happen that I'll regret. As long as I apologize to Macie and explain everything, she'll forgive me for sure," Edward said with renewed determination. He was full of confidence.Nathan looked at him. One moment, he was drowning in gloom; the next, he was full of energy as if someone had injected him with adrenaline.He inwardly wished Edward the best of luck. Clearly, he wouldn't stop until he ran headfirst into a wall.W

    Nathan was starting to regret helping Edward realize his feelings. He felt the usual Edward was more real—this version in front of him seemed like a man possessed.He even thought it might be better if Ethan went back to liking Sharon than staying in this mess.Suddenly, the two of them seemed like a better match.After hesitating several times, Nathan still express his true thoughts. He was afraid that Edward would break down completely and spiral into depression."Macie was hurt so deeply by you. Think about it. Do you really think she'll forgive you that easily?" Nathan asked, trying to reason with him.Hearing that, Edward clenched his fists tighter, overcome with guilt and regret. He knew exactly how he had treated Macie, especially over the past month.He had pushed her so hard that she fractured her tailbone. During the gas leak, he had left her behind. Even if it wasn't on purpose, Macie had nearly died.He was guilty beyond redemption. He knew that Macie wouldn't forgiv

    Sharon asked, "Do I really disgust you that much? You clearly had strong feelings for me. I don't believe your love for me could disappear overnight. Not after two years.""I told you already," Edward said coldly. "I stopped loving you when we broke up two years ago.""I don't believe that," she shot back. "You weren't like this just a little while ago. You even kissed—"Before she could finish, Edward grabbed her jaw firmly to silence her."That was just me trying to figure out if I still had any feelings for you," he snapped. "But every time I get close to you, I only think about Macie. She's the one I love."Four days ago, he'd said he didn't love Macie. But now, he was admitting it to Sharon's face.Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her fists clenched at her sides. She hated Macie more than anything at that moment."So, you never really loved me, did you?" she cried. "That's the only way you could've moved on so fast." She continued, "Do you even know how much I loved you?

    Edward turned his head, clenched his fists, and glared at Sharon. Every word out of her mouth reminded him of just how monstrous he'd been and how deeply he'd hurt Macie. Regret twisted with pain inside him. He wanted nothing more than to slap himself across the face."Ed, I know you still love me. I don't know how you ever convinced yourself you had feelings for Macie, but it's not real."When he didn't speak, she thought her words were starting to sink in. She stepped closer and continued to work him."You just weren't used to her being gone. Anyone would get attached after two years—even if it was just a dog. You simply mistook that familiarity for love."In your heart, the one you truly care about is me. Think about it. Every time I got hurt, who was the one who panicked? Who came running without a second thought?""Shut up!" Edward roared, his face twisted in fury."Do you think I can't tell the difference between loving and not loving someone? I'm not a fool. I don't need

    "Macie never took me from you," Edward said. "It was Grandpa who forced her to marry me."However, Sharon didn't believe him. It wasn't as though she didn't know about Macie's feelings for Edward. She knew that Macie had liked him since high school.But, of course, Sharon would never say that out loud. After all, why would she do Macie any favors? If anything, she was hoping that the two of them would split for good."Ed, you and Macie are already divorced. It's in the past. Why don't we start over?" she persisted.Sharon has a long history with Edward. She had "known" him since high school, and they started dating in college. After all the effort she'd put into their relationship, she wouldn't give up on their relationship that easily."Who wants to start over with you? I'm not even divorced," Edward spat.He gritted his teeth and glared at her. Just hearing the word "divorce" made him tense up. He insisted that he hadn't divorced Macie."How is that possible? The paperwork was

    This time, no one would offer Sharon ten million dollars to leave Edward. She'd vanish without a trace, like a filthy rat scurrying through the shadows."I admit it. I slipped the divorce agreement inside and made you sign it," she said through sobs as she crawled over and clung to his leg.After hearing her confession, his rage exploded, and he kicked her away.Sharon grunted in pain and continued through the sobs, "But it was Macie who made me do it. She doesn't love you anymore. She wanted a divorce, but you refused. She had no choice but to come to me for help."I swear. I wasn't hiding anything from you. She made me promise not to tell you. "I'm her friend. I had to help her, Ed. I had to…""Bullshit! She loves me and would never ask for a divorce," Edward shouted. He continued, "You're the one who drove a wedge between us. It's you who tricked me into signing the divorce agreement. That divorce means nothing."Edward couldn't take it anymore. He couldn't wait until tomorr

    Edward was so furious that he nearly ripped the page on the spot. He couldn't even bear to look at it. His jealousy was eating him alive as his eyes burned with rage.But just as he began to rip the corner, he stopped. After all, this was Macie's diary, which held her memories. He figured that he could still use the excuse of returning it to find her.Edward was filled with jealousy. He stormed over, snatched the other half of the diary from Sharon's hands, then slammed the door shut.He couldn't bring himself to look at the diary. It had been with Macie since high school and through college. Even after they got married, she still carried it with her everywhere. He figured that she must've really liked her first love.Edward gritted his teeth. His heart was heavy with unspoken frustration and sorrow. This made him envy and hate that bastard even more.Overcome by emotion, he nearly tore the diary again. But after several moments of inner conflict, he forced himself to stop.Edwar

    While walking to the master bedroom, Edward instinctively glanced at the small guest room next to it. He subconsciously turned and stepped inside.The room was empty. Macie had cleaned everything before she left, even the toothbrush and cup.She hadn't left a single trace behind. There wasn't even the slightest sign that she'd ever been here. That alone made it clear how decisively she had walked away.Edward's eyes burned with unshed tears, and his fingers curled into fists. Like a child desperate for comfort, he brought over his blanket and pillow and lay on the bed Macie used to sleep in.…Outside the neighborhood, Sharon stood there with her eyes swollen from crying after being kicked out. The property management had cleared away her belongings, and she quickly dialed her assistant, Rebecca.When Rebecca arrived and saw Sharon's disheveled and miserable loon, she had a good idea of what had happened but didn't dare ask."Not a word of this gets out. Got it? If Edward finds

    Yosef barked over the phone, "Edward and Macie's divorce isn't even final yet, and you were already rushing to arrange a marriage alliance with the Hart family. Did you seriously think that Edward would thank you for that? Don't give me that 'I did it for his own good' bullshit! You were clearly looking for your own gain!"After being chided by his own father, Bennett's face darkened. Clutching his phone tightly, he shot back, unwilling to back down, "Do you think your precious grandson will forever be grateful to you? You're doing the exact same thing you did to me—forcing him to marry someone he doesn't even like! The only difference is that, at least, my ex-wife came from a reputable family!"Yet, you made him marry an orphan with no notable background and no family to speak of. Careful, or one day he might realize the truth and hate you so much that he won't even show up at your funeral!""Y-You ungrateful little bastard!" Yosef was shaking. He was about to curse at Bennet when

    Back when the Hart family tried to propose a marriage alliance to the Fowlers, they found out that Edward was already married. Now, the Fowlers had brought up the idea of an alliance again, claiming that he was already divorced.Diana had always wondered why the marriage hadn't been made public two years ago. The Fowlers were the kind of family that cared about social standing. Would the bride's family really agree to a hidden marriage? But after learning who Edward's ex-wife was, things started to make more sense. She figured that the elders of the Fowler family must have disapproved of the match altogether, so they skipped all the formalities. In the end, their marriage only lasted two years."Either way, Edward's not a good man," Sean added. "Alice said he was violent and that he put his ex-wife in the hospital with fractured bones. Also, do you remember his cheating scandal a while back? He nearly got her killed in a gas leak while trying to pressure her into a divorce."Every

    Alice's words stunned Macie. The latter simply looked at Alice. She wondered who had the guts to trash-talk Alice and if it was another heiress from the same social circle."Do you need my help?" Macie asked.Alice shook her head. "It's better if you don't get involved. If you show up…" She paused. "You might get dragged into this, too. Don't worry. I can handle it."If Macie joined her in exchanging insults and Edward showed up mid-argument, he would drop his temper in a heartbeat and start groveling like a puppy. Alice felt gross when she thought about that. It'd be like watching a pig roll around with her prize-winning cabbage.So, she kept going toe-to-toe with that mad dog Edward. She called him out publicly and stirred things up in the socialite group chat. Her goal was to tarnish his reputation and warn the other women before anyone else was fooled by his polished mask and rotten core.That night, Edward's reputation was in ruins. Within their circle of elite families, he

    Alice's instincts moved faster than her brain. She grabbed the phone from Macie's hand and smiled wryly. "Don't call back. It might be—"Macie interjected, "It's Nathan, Edward's assistant."Alice froze. Her face shifted through a range of emotions. She turned her head and said guiltily, "You've divorced Edward, right? Don't answer it or call back. It's probably because you blocked him, and now he's using Nathan's phone to contact you."Macie pressed her lips together and didn't respond. She had guessed as much and wasn't planning on returning the call.Alice quickly blocked the number, deleted the call log, and returned the phone to Macie."I already blocked that number. Don't answer calls from anyone related to Edward," she said.Macie nodded and continued to watch the movie. Alice was about to set the phone down when the messages started flooding in. The pinging sound felt like a ticking clock.Those messages were from Edward, and the content of his texts were insults dir

    The officer looked at Edward and said, "Mr. Fowler, please mind your tone and choice of words. The other party has already agreed not to press charges."Edward slammed his fist onto the table furiously. "I didn't do anything wrong. Why the hell should Alice forgive me? This is completely messed up.""Ha, stubborn as a mule. How about—" Before Alice could finish, Nathan quickly stepped in and ended the call.He turned to the officer and smiled awkwardly. "Officer, we've provided all the necessary information. The other party has already verbally forgiven us. Can we go now?"The officer glanced at Edward and noticed that the release form hadn't been signed yet. Edward sat there, fuming. He wanted to tear the damn paper in half."Mr. Fowler, please sign it," Nathan urged as he approached him.Edward was seething. He'd never swallowed this kind of humiliation before. But if he didn't sign the document, he couldn't leave. And dragging in his connections would only tip off Yosef—some

    "Mr. Fowler broke in illegally tonight, tricked the security, and even threatened me," Alice said.By now, the standoff had been resolved. The police had taken Edward into custody, but he was still cursing at her.She watched as he was led away. She scoffed, then turned to the security guard. "Remember his face. If he ever comes near the building again, call the police."The guard nodded. They were grateful that Alice had noticed in time. If the suspect had attacked Macie, a resident under their care, they would've been legally liable for it.The security team leader stepped forward and spoke to Alice. He tried to persuade her not to report the property management's failure to the authorities.She agreed and didn't give them a hard time. But her agreement was on one condition—that the security guard do not inform Macie about that night's events. Alice would tell Macie later.The security team leader understood. He assured her that the reminder sent to the property group would not

    Alice went to the kitchen and told Macie that her brother had shown up. Then, she hurried downstairs. Macie didn't think anything of it.Outside the residential complex, Alice met the guards and police. She helped them to confirm Edward's identity. She also showed them her phone. Then, she explained that Edward had tricked his way inside and that she hadn't realized what he was doing at the time.Edward was ultimately arrested. He shot a vicious glare at Alice, who turned against him. He thought that the Hart brother and sister were a pair of damn troublemakers.Alice stared right back without a hint of fear. Edward was in a mess—his hair was disheveled, and his shirt was wrinkled. There wasn't a trace of that polished CEO image left."Well, well, well," Alice said sneeringly. "Mr. Fowler, breaking into someone's home and lying your way in? I can't wait to see what that does to your reputation."When they heard her address Edward as "Mr. Fowler", the police and security guards

    "Sean wants to check in with the security guards to make sure everything's safe," Alice said.Macie quickly slipped off her gloves, grabbed her phone, and searched for the number. Alice took one quick look, memorized the number, then bolted back to her room and securely locked the door.The guard picked up the phone almost immediately. Alice hurriedly said, "There's a man outside the entrance trying to get in. His name is Edward Fowler. You need to stop him now!"He's dangerous and violent. If he gets to Macie Smith, the resident here, he could hurt her. And if that happens, your whole team will be held accountable."Inside the security booth, the guard on the phone glanced outside and shouted, "Is someone named Edward Fowler trying to get in? Stop him! He's a threat to a resident!"The guard at the entrance checked the visitor's log. As expected, it was the same suspicious man from earlier. It turned out that their instinct was right. The guard immediately alerted his compa

    Alice texted Edward, "Where are you?"Edward shared his location.When she saw the name of the residential complex where he was, a chill shot down her spine.It turned out that this stalker was outside the entrance. She wondered if he had followed them there earlier. At that thought, she determined that it was because she'd let her guard down.Alice stole another glance across from her, only to lock eyes with Macie."What's wrong?" Macie asked when she noticed the sudden change in her friend's expression."It's nothing," Alice responded, smiling. "It's just my brother being annoying again."Macie nodded. Casually, Alice asked, "Is the security in this residential complex good? Strangers can't just walk in, right?"Macie thought that Alice's brother was overprotective, so she answered, "It's pretty tight. Security's on duty 24/7. No outsiders can get through unless a resident personally led them in."Alice was relieved to hear that. She figured that Edward was probably stuck at
