Chapter: 67 Part 3 The Moment Everything Fell Apart
For a brief moment, guilt flickered across Nahir’s face, though it disappeared just as quickly. He tightened his hold around her shoulders. “You need to rest first. We’ll deal with everything after you sober up.”She murmured something incoherent, her thoughts already clouded by alcohol. Seeing no resistance left in her, Nahir guided her slowly toward the elevators.Each step became more difficult for her, until nearly all her weight rested against him by the time they reached the elevator lobby.The doors slid open with a soft chime. He helped her inside.In the mirrored surface of the closing doors, their reflections stood side by side: one exhausted and unsteady, the other watching her with a gaze that revealed very little.As the doors shut, neither of them noticed another elevator ascending toward the fifth floor at that exact moment. Inside it, Alexander stood in silence.His eyes remained fixed on the digital display as the numbers climbed steadily.Three.Four.Five.When the

The pain in her ankle no longer seemed important. Compared to the hollow emptiness spreading through her chest, the injury felt insignificant.Tears slipped quietly down her cheeks as a realization settled heavily within her.Alexander had not ignored her because he hated her; he had ignored her because he had finally stopped hoping.That truth hurt far more than anything he could have said.Moments later, hurried footsteps approached. “Aurelia!”Nahir crouched beside her, concern evident in his expression. “Are you alright?”She did not respond; her gaze remained fixed on the corridor where Alexander had disappeared, as though part of her still believed he might return.He did not.With a soft sigh, Nahir helped her to her feet. “Can you stand?”She nodded weakly. “I’m… fine.”However, the moment she placed weight on her injured foot, a sharp pain forced her to wince.“Your ankle is swelling,” Nahir said, steadying her. “You need to have it treated.”“I’m alright,” she replied automa

Alexander continued without raising his voice. “But from now on, stop dragging me into your relationship.”His eyes briefly returned to Aurelia before settling on Nahir again, his expression steady and unreadable. “There is only one thing I expect from you.”Nahir’s eyes narrowed slightly. “And what is that?”Alexander answered without hesitation. “Your future girlfriend broke into my house this morning.”The words cut cleanly through the air, and the surrounding chatter died almost instantly. Confused glances passed from one person to another as the weight of his statement sank in.“She insisted on making me breakfast,” Alexander added, his tone as indifferent as before.His gaze never left Nahir. “So keep her under control.”The remark struck Aurelia like a physical blow.Her face drained of all color, and for a moment, she felt as though she could no longer breathe. Countless explanations surged to the surface of her mind: how that breakfast had been her last attempt to salvage the

There had been a time when he trusted her completely, when he believed her without question, even when she said she was working late. Later, he learned that she had gone to welcome Nahir home instead.He had trusted her again and again over the past three years, and each time, disappointment had followed. What reason did he have to trust her now?Before he could respond, the sound of approaching footsteps broke the fragile tension.Nahir walked over calmly, his expression gentle but his gaze firm with quiet determination.He stopped beside Aurelia and, without hesitation, placed an arm around her waist as though it were the most natural thing in the world. The intimate gesture immediately drew everyone’s attention.Aurelia stiffened. “Nahir…” she said, attempting to step away.He subtly tightened his hold, not enough to appear forceful, but enough to prevent her from creating any obvious distance.Then he looked directly at Alexander. “Alex,” he said politely, “I understand this may s

The words were barely audible, spoken under his breath, meant for no one but himself.Strangely, his heart no longer ached the way it once had. Perhaps it had endured too many wounds already, or perhaps disappointment, when repeated often enough, eventually dulled into something quieter and far more final.Without sparing the crowd another glance, Alexander turned away.Clara was still waiting for him. Nothing else mattered. He had taken only a few steps when a familiar voice called out behind him. “Alex?”The cheerful atmosphere froze almost instantly, as if an invisible force had swept through the lobby and silenced every conversation at once.Nahir’s smile faded, recognition dawning in his eyes.Alexander stopped.Behind him, Aurelia felt the color drain completely from her face as her breath caught in her throat. The reality she had feared most had arrived without warning.Slowly, she turned around.Through the crowd, she saw Alexander standing only a short distance away, his back

Alexander’s footsteps echoed sharply against the polished marble floor of the Sheraton Hotel, each stride measured yet urgent.He neither admired the dazzling crystal chandeliers suspended overhead nor spared a glance for the luxurious décor that had earned the hotel its reputation as one of the most prestigious establishments in the city.With every passing second, the tightness in his chest grew more pronounced.At that moment, nothing mattered except Clara.The anonymous caller’s hoarse voice continued to replay in his mind, each word pressing heavily against his thoughts.If you want her alive, come to Sheraton Hotel alone.The butler had already traced the signal to this location, and according to the most recent update, Clara’s phone had stopped moving only minutes ago. The implication was clear, and it was enough to make Alexander increase his pace.He refused to consider what might happen if he arrived even a minute too late.As he moved across the bustling lobby, a sudden bur
