All Chapters of Alone Until the End of Time: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

"Gentle, Duncan," Audrey whispered."Gentle? How can that satisfy you?" Duncan growled, one hand pinning Audrey against the vanity, the other gripping her hair. "Look at yourself. Calling you an escort is too generous!"Audrey gazed at her reflection in the mirror, her face a picture of allure tinged with despair. She managed a bitter smile.Once, Duncan would fret over the slightest frown on her face or the tiniest scratch on her skin. Now, every word he spoke felt like a dagger in her heart.But she had to accept it. No matter how much it hurt, she had to stay. She didn't want to leave with regrets. She didn't want to spend her final days without a trace of him in her life.After he finished, Duncan threw Audrey to the floor in disgust and left without a backward glance.It felt like an eternity before the pain in Audrey's body began to subside. She struggled to her feet, her blurry vision catching sight of a large clump of hair on the floor. Her frail body swayed unsteadily.

Audrey looked at Duncan without saying a word, while his anger reached a boiling point."Apologize! Audrey, are you incapable of understanding English?!" Duncan roared."Fine, I'll apologize," Audrey suddenly realized he wouldn’t let this go easily today.Heather sauntered over, clinging to Duncan's arm, her low-cut Versace dress revealing more than it concealed. "Duncan, my hand hurts so much.""Apologize; this is my last warning," Duncan ignored Heather, his gaze fixed on Audrey."I'm sorry.""Louder!""I'm sorry!""Who are you apologizing to?"Audrey's voice was already quite loud, but Duncan was still unsatisfied.With a thud, Audrey fell to her knees on the marble floor. "Miss Leverton, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have thrown hot water at you. It's all my fault, it's my fault!"She then repeatedly knocked her forehead on the ground. It split open, blood streaming down her already gaunt face, creating a pitiful sight."Are you satisfied now?" She looked up at him, her eyes f

"Audrey, he's getting married. The engagement ceremony is in three days. How can you be together after that? Please listen to me - come with me for treatment. I've contacted the best hospital. I believe we'll finally find out what's wrong. We can save you. Please, just listen." Josh placed his hands on Audrey's shoulders. She was so thin, looking as if a breeze could knock her over.Audrey brushed his hands away. "Stop trying to deceive me, Josh. We haven't found the cause in a whole year - why would we find it now? I'm grateful for everything you've done this past year. I know you did it all for my sake.""But returning to him was my choice. Yes, he's getting engaged in three days. I'll leave then, but not for treatment. I'll find somewhere where no one knows me and quietly die. I'm tired, so very tired. I can't take any more of this."With that, she rushed out.Josh crouched on the ground, defeated. The woman he loved wouldn't stay, no matter how much he gave.Her heart was comp

Audrey is such a wonderful woman, yet she fell in love with someone like Duncan. She deserves so much better.“Isn't it obvious? Audrey is the kind of woman who's fickle and unfaithful. It's a well-known fact,” Duncan said, a mocking look in his eyes.Joss was so furious he wanted to punch Duncan. Audrey, such a good woman, and Duncan talked about her as if she were worthless. He yanked Duncan out of his chair and shouted, “Duncan, do you even know? She's sick—she’s dying! The least you can do is see her once, listen to her before she passes, just out of respect for the time you spent together!”Duncan couldn’t believe it. Good people don’t die young—only the wicked seem to last forever.Audrey, dying? This had to be some elaborate trick between them, another ploy to deceive him."Josh, right? Didn't you run away with her once? Now that I don't want her anymore, doesn't this work out perfectly for you two? You can finally be together openly," Duncan sneered, his pride keeping him

All women dream of wearing a beautiful wedding dress and marrying the man they love, but for her, this had become an impossible dream.As she hesitated, Heather had already brought the wedding dress before her.Just as she took the dress, Audrey suddenly cried out "Ah!" and dropped it as if she'd been electrocuted.Something had just pricked her. There was something wrong with this dress.Hearing the noise, Heather looked at Audrey with confusion. "What's wrong?""There's something in this dress..." She was about to say there was something hidden in the dress.But the store assistant didn't give her a chance to speak, picking up the dress and thrusting it back into her arms. "Miss Lyons, this dress was designed by a top French designer. There can't be anything wrong with it. Please, just go try it on.""But this..." Before Audrey could say more, she was pushed into the fitting room by the assistant. As the door closed, she caught a glimpse of a sharp glint in Heather's eyes.So
