Raising her head, Zoe said, “Have you asked Gwynn if she wants to stay here, Noah? You took away her freedom. What’s the difference between her and the old me? Please, Noah. Set her free. If she makes it out of this, let her look after Lorian and live out the rest of her life in peace.“Gwynn has suffered enough, Noah. I’ve never begged you for anything. Please, do this for me and let her go…”This was the second time they fought over Gwynn. Noah loved Zoe a lot. Saying something that would hurt her was the last thing he wanted to do. However, he wasn’t about to give up on his wife, either. In the end, he hung up the phone and pulled the lever, bringing the helicopter into the air. Its blades chopped the air and took to the blue sky. Zoe’s silhouette grew smaller by the second. She kept yelling after him. “Have you forgotten about it, Noah? Ever since you came out of jail, you fought with Mason multiple times because you couldn’t stand the way he treated me in our marriage. W

“I’m going to call for the doctor!” Noah rose immediately, but Gwynn grabbed his arm with her shriveled fingers, which were uncharacteristically strong now. Her eyeballs dilated. The next thing she knew, she could no longer see Noah clearly even though she was looking right at him. It was as if someone put a veil in front of her eyes. The cancerous cells must’ve spread through to her eyeballs. She was slowly losing her sight now. It was such an unexpected change, but she accepted it gracefully. A tear fell on the back of his hand. It was so cold that it chilled him to the bones. She flashed him the faintest smile he had ever seen and mouthed the words. “I don’t love you anymore, Noah.“It’s too much torment trying to love you and I’ve waited for you to love me back for far too long…”Her mind traveled back to when they first met each other in Brookesville three years ago.She was merely twenty-one years old back then. Liam had done too good a job at protecting her from the

Noah was very patient too. He’d smile at her friend from time to time. He even hired a private nurse for her and made a fifteen million dollars upfront payment for her medical fees so she could stay in the best VIP ward. He didn’t talk to Gwynn the entire time. He intended to make it seem as if he had feelings for her friend. Now, Gwynn was also at an age when she dreamed of having a romantic relationship. So, she was a little disappointed. Concerned that the others would see her real feelings, she tried her best to act natural.With that said, Gwynn was such a naive and innocent young lady when she was twenty-one years old. On the other hand, Noah had been playing the field for years now. He knew exactly what she was thinking. As far as he was concerned, she was this juicy, succulent piece of meat that was haplessly waiting for him to sink his sinister teeth in. Half an hour later, he left. Gwynn’s friend was reluctant to say farewell to him. Once he was out of the ward, s

As time went by, her palm was sweaty. Once the car stopped at her apartment, Gwynn made a beeline into her place. Her servant, Juana, noticed her reddened face, poked her head out the window, and cast her glance downstairs. There was an exceptionally handsome guy standing by an extraordinarily luxurious car. The man was mature, stunning, and wealthy. He seemed like he was somewhere in his thirties. With that said, it wasn’t her place to poke her nose into her mistress’s business. She was folding clothes when she brought it up casually, “Mr. Liam highlighted that it’s ill-advised to be in a relationship when you’re young and naive. For the record, I feel the same way.“There are a lot of wicked men out there. A lot of wealthy men have their eyes out for young, beautiful ladies. They’d date these ladies for a year or two and move on to a new target once the novelty wears off.”Gwynn knew what the servant was getting at. She said softly, “He’s not my boyfriend. He’s the one who sa

The tear fell on the back of Noah’s hand, chilling him to the bone. His heart was shivering. All of a sudden, he held her shoulders and called out to her, “Gwynn!”However, she was calmer than she had ever been. Feeling around the bed, she lay down on it and said in an exhausted voice, “I can’t see anything! It’s fine, though. I’ve seen this coming. It’s just a matter of time.“Stop wasting your breath, Noah!“I’m sick of this!”…Lying on her bed quietly, tears filled her eyes. For a second there, her mind traveled back to the moment when she first met him. He looked so charismatic then. Although he was still good-looking and wealthy now, her heart no longer pounded for him. If he didn’t love her, she wasn’t about to debase herself by groveling to him. Tears welled up in her lifeless eyes. The brightest stars in the sky reminded her of the fireworks they had seen that night. Ironically, all of that was fake! She closed her eyes gently.Noah couldn’t take it. This was t
