Chapter 019
I broke eye contact and marched out of the mansion. Atlas Volkan did not follow me
Was this his plan? To drag me here and make a mockery of me? Again? What exactly did he want?
I spun around to see Lovie walking over, still dressed in Atlas‘ shirt with a maid holding an umbrella over her head
“You forgot this,” She handed over a file and I frowned, scanning it. “It’s
in the world with Damien ”
s the Euphoria project file. I wish you all the happiness
“Cut to the chase,” I retorted, as the rain assaulted my skin. “You have never helped me in life, so why are you helping me
now?”
It was then she broke into a small smile and stepped forward “Because of this,” Lovie stretched her hand again and I collected the small envelope in it
my chest tightened
As my eyes scanned the content, my
“Atlas and I are getting engaged in a few days, Julia. He will give you the divorce as well. Then, it was inevitable and-
“everything will be sorted out, what is the drama?” I begged my voice not to crack. “Why are you showing me this?”
“because today, you were in his car and then his house. You need to choose, Julia. Do you want freedom or do you want to
rum three lives?”
“Forget three, many lives have already been ruined Lovie,” I spat, “You ruined everyone’s lives. But don’t worry, even today, it is clear who Atlas loves. It is not me,” My eyes glossed over as I spoke. “You have nothing to worry about.”
“I am not worried about Atlas, ”
“He is my past, Lovie “I shut her rant and we locked eyes. “He left me to drown. He left me to die. He never chose me but he chose you.” I gestured at her lingerie, fighting back tears that mixed with the rain
I struggled to breathe as she rolled her eyes. “You are no victim. Take the papers and disappear, start your life afresh far away from here,” she snapped her fingers, “Take this too.”
“Are you paying me to leave or for my silence? I said and Lovie froze.
“You know this is best for everyone Atlas should have been mine-
“Then, tell him to stop I snapped, “Tell him to stop chasing after me! Tell him to stop upending my world because from where I stand. Alles is the one who refuses to let you! For all we know, he’s playing us both “I closed the distance between us and pressed the invitation in her hand “But either way, Congratulations Lovie. You will finally be Mrs. Volkan and I hope it was worth everything
I turned around and saw Atlas standing there. It was then a tear finally rolled down my cheek
Dur eyes locked and for a moment the sound of our heartbeats drowned the rain my heart ached because his heart would never beat for sue and whenever I tried to accept it, he just wouldn’t let me
Atles enjoyed hurting me ite was taunting me and making me suffer and I. I hated it. I hated it so much and yet somehow, I always played along
Could you love someone to the point that you lose your senses? Was love supposed to kill one’s dignity? One’s self–respect? because, low else does my heartache for the same person who daggered it multiple times?
uted walking away, only to hear the faint sound of a footstep, I froze but Lovie gasped and fainted as I turned 1 watched as Atlas took his step back and turned his attention to her

He would always choose her
“Lovie? Lovie, are you okay?”
*Atlas? I am feeling dizzy. It must be the rain… She cried, hiding in his shirt
He raised his head but this time, I wasn’t looking. My fists were tightened at my sides and the lump in my throat managed to grow bigger
“Get married Atlas and set me free.” I said, stepping forward. “Because the next time we meet? It will because Euphoria was a
success”
His jaw tightened and his fingers twitched despite holding Lovie. She tightened her grip on him. “Atlas?”
“Take her inside he gestured at the maid but Lovie refused to let go.
1 scoffed at him and started walking away just as the sound of his footsteps managed to reach my ears. As I stepped outside, I saw Damien waiting in a car.

ading at the gate, and I did the unthinkable. I ran toward Damien and tackled him into a hug.
I turned to see Atlas standing
His hand made it into my hair and the other wrapped around my waist. Damien turned and I was now facing Atlas
His fists were tightened at his sides, and he was glaring daggers at Damien. Despite the rain, I could almost hear him fuming and biting back a grow!
Atlas Volkan was livid. As it should be

Irested my hands on his neck, our nose brushing while my eyes remained on Atlas. There was a sparkle in his eyes that was about to ignite into flames:
“Of course I chipped, my chest tightening “Besides, Lovie and Atles are getting engaged in a few days, so, why not?” I added, We’ll attend their engagement and then,” I pulled away finally and leaned on Damien’s shoulder. “They can attend ours too”
For a split second, Atlas‘ eyes widened just enough for me to see it. He casually gestured at Damien and made a slicing gesture at his neck, reinforcing his previous threat
No one threatens me, especially not Atlas
So, I pressed my lips against Damien’s but he gioped me and deepened the kiss Once we pulled away, I was breathless but
