Chapter 14
Zachary’s hand clenched the letter tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. His chest felt as if it was being forcefully pressed down, making it difficult to breathe. Those words were like a knife, repeatedly cutting into his heart, causing him unbearable pain.
“Silvia..” he marred softly, his voice trembling slightly, “Why did you write these?”
Back then, they were so in love.
She had said that she wanted to get married with him in Flodino, and have two children, a boy and a girl.
She used to rely on him so much, love him so much. But why… why did it come to this point?
Zachary closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the nemoil in his heart. He knew it was shameful that he kept thinking about Silvia
She was his mother’s loller, the person he could never forgive in his entire life. But why does his heart still involuntarily think of her? Think of her smile, her tears, her tenderness, her betrayal
“I was useless,” Zachary muttered, self–deprecatingly, as he slammed his fist hard on the desk, producing a dull thod
In the following days, Zachary continued to live his life as usual
However, only Trey noticed that Zachary’s eyes were becoming increasingh hollow, as if he were a lifeless corpse.
“Me. Aldrich, you haven’t been feeling well lately. Do you need to see a psychologist? Trey asked cautiously.
Zachary gave him a edid glance and with a hint of impatience in his tone, he said, “I was fine, I didn’t need it.”
Trey opened his mouth to say something else, but Zachary had already turned around and loft, leaving only a cold and indifferent figure.
The wedding preparations becare busier and busier, but Zachary became increasingly silent.
On the evening one week before the wedding, he got extremely drink and sat alone in the corner of the bar, holding a glass of strong liquor, staring blankly ahead
Just then, a figure wearing a sundress walked over and gently sat beside m
She had a faint scent of perfume on her body, and her fingers gently caressed his cheek.
“Zachary, how could you drink so much alone? Her voice was gentle and familiar.
Zachary lifted his head, his eyes blurred with drunkenness, as if he saw the figure he had been yearning for day and night.
His heart skipped a beat, and he reached out to pull her into his arms, lowering his head to passionately kiss her lips.
That kiss was wild and fiery, as if it wanted to pour all the longing and pain into it.
His fingers tightly held onto her waist, as if afraid that she would suddenly disappear. It wasn’t until he softly shouted out that name,
The figure in his arms suddenly stiffened, and then forcefully pushed lumi
Zachary paused for a moment and then realized the person in front of him was Rebecca
Her eyes were filled with tears, and there was a slight tremur in her voice as she asked, “Zachary, whose name did you just call?”
Zachary’s anger surged as he woke up from his druskon stopor, his brows furrowing tightly. With a hint of impatience in his tane, he exclaimed, “Why are you dressed like this? Didn’t we agree that I wasn’t ready yet?”
Rebecca’s tears burst instantly, and she cried out, “Not ready yet? Zachary, I am your fiance, but you never touch me! Every time before was just a show for Silvia, in reality, you haven’t even taken off my clothes! Now that we are about to get married, are you planning to never touch me for the rest of our lives?”
Zachary had a headache, and he rubbed his temples. In a cold tone, he said, “Let’s all calm down.”
