Chapter 726
The days that followed Cedric's last phone call with Antonio were among the most difficult Antonio had experienced in a long time.He tried to continue with his normal routine.He spent time with Cynthia.He attended to matters concerning his responsibilities.He received calls from people within the health sector and from other influential figures who wanted his attention. Meetings still had to be handled, decisions still had to be made, and people still expected him to remain the same calm and dependable man they had always known.To everyone around him, Antonio appeared to be perfectly fine.He answered questions normally.He attended to his responsibilities.He spoke to Cynthia.He even smiled when necessary.But deep inside, he was troubled.His uncle's words refused to leave his mind.Cedric had made his position clear.Until Antonio agreed to marry Elaine, he didn't want to have anything to do with him.At first, Antonio had dismissed it.He had assumed that Cedric would eventu

Cedric sighed."I don't want to argue with you.""Neither do I.""But I need you to understand something.""What?""I value fairness."Antonio remained silent."I have always tried to be fair to people.""That's why I can't simply watch Elaine suffer."Antonio shook his head."She will survive.""How do you know?""Because everyone survives heartbreak."Cedric sighed."You have become very hard.""Life made me that way.""And that's what worries me."Antonio looked toward the window."Uncle..."Cedric interrupted him."No."He sounded final."If you have decided that you will not listen to me, then there is no reason for you to continue contacting me."Antonio's face changed."What?""You heard me.""Uncle, don't say that.""I'm serious.""You've just come back into my life.""And perhaps I shouldn't have."Antonio stood up."Why are you saying this?""Because I don't know what kind of relationship we can have."Cedric continued."If you can't respect one instruction from me, how can

The following morning, Antonio woke up with his uncle, Cedric, still occupying his thoughts.He had barely slept properly.The events of the previous day continued to replay in his mind. He remembered the excitement he had felt when he first saw Cedric standing at the entrance of his mansion. For years, Antonio had wondered what had happened to the man. He had tried several times to reach him after his mother's death, but every effort had failed.Seeing Cedric alive and standing before him had been an emotional moment.Yet, everything had changed when Cedric began speaking about Elaine.Antonio still couldn't understand it.Why was his uncle so determined to bring Elaine back into his life?Why was he insisting that Antonio should marry her?He had explained everything that had happened between himself and Elaine. He had told Cedric about the betrayal, the humiliation, and the painful years that followed. He had also explained that Cynthia was now his wife and that he had no intention

The following morning was a weekend, and for the first time in several days, Antonio had nowhere he needed to be.There were no meetings waiting for him.No official appointments.No urgent calls from the health sector.No schedule demanding his attention.For once, his day belonged entirely to him.He had planned to spend the day quietly at home with Cynthia, perhaps relax in the lounge, read through a few documents, and simply enjoy the peace that had finally returned to his life. After everything that had happened recently, he felt that a quiet day was exactly what he needed.But his mind refused to cooperate.No matter what he did, his thoughts kept returning to Cedric.His uncle.Antonio sat quietly in the lounge, staring through the large windows. Morning light entered the spacious room, falling gently across the furniture and the floor, but Antonio barely noticed it. His attention was somewhere else entirely.The events of the previous day kept replaying in his mind.Cedric had

The atmosphere in the living room had become unusually tense.Antonio had finally reached the point where he wanted the entire matter to end. The conversation had gone on longer than he had expected, and although he respected Cedric as his uncle, he no longer wanted to discuss his past with Elaine. He had explained himself, made his position clear, and believed there was nothing else that needed to be said.He looked toward Elaine and Cedric."I think everyone should leave my house now."His voice was calm, but there was unmistakable firmness in it.Elaine lowered her eyes. She knew Antonio was serious, and for a moment, she seemed ready to stand and leave.Cedric, however, did not immediately move.He stared at Antonio.For a few seconds, he seemed to be thinking about something. His expression remained serious, and his silence made Antonio wonder what else he could possibly want to say.Then Cedric took a slow breath."Antonio."Antonio looked at him."Yes, Uncle?"Cedric's express

Cedric remained standing near the entrance, but Antonio's last statement made him stop.He turned around slowly."You said Elaine doesn't love you," he said. "You said she's only interested in your money and influence."Antonio nodded."Yes."Cedric looked genuinely troubled."Then I want to hear more."Antonio studied his uncle for a moment."You really want to know?""I do."Cedric walked back toward the living room and sat down."I cannot make a fair judgment when I only know one part of the story. Tell me what happened between you and Elaine."Antonio sighed.He had avoided discussing some of the painful details because he didn't want to humiliate Elaine unnecessarily.But Cedric had asked.And perhaps it was time for him to understand why Antonio's decision was so firm."Uncle, you remember Elaine as the woman who was once close to me.""Yes.""But you don't remember what happened after you left."Cedric nodded."Then tell me."Antonio leaned back."When we were together, I loved
