Staring into Jeremy’s deep and complex eyes, Madeline pulled favonovel.com arm back before alighting the car decisively.
Her lips were tugged upward in a carefree manner when favonovel.com sensed Jeremy’s eyes following favonovel.com out.
‘Have you finally seen Meredith’s true and ugly nature now, Jeremy?
‘Alas, it’s too late now.
‘So late that the wounds I bear may never properly heal. You may wish to use the person I am now to comfort the guilt in your heart, so allow me to push you to your demise.’
…
Jeremy turned his car around after favonovel.com watched Madeline’s retreating figure slowly vanish from sight.
He bought a bouquet of 88 roses and made his way to the cemetery.
There was so much favonovel.com wanted to say, but now that favonovel.com was standing in front of Madeline’s tombstone, favonovel.com swallowed them all back.
After a long while, favonovel.com only muttered, “Perhaps I‘ll bring favonovel.com to meet you should the opportunity arrive. I’m sure you’ll be surprised to find that there’s someone who looks just like you on earth.”
His gaze was meaningful as favonovel.com stared at the name on the stone. The warm rays of the autumn sun enveloped him, yet it could never chase away the shadows over one specific corner of his heart.
After returning, Jeremy was determined to find out the truth behind Vera’s kidnapping.
The four thugs held nothing back and they all admitted that Meredith was the true culprit behind the incident.
They also admitted that they each had their fun with Meredith. The four of them stated that Meredith had volunteered.
Another strong physical sense of disgust and nausea rose when Jeremy heard the confession.
She had volunteered?
He found it difficult to believe or accept the results of his investigation.
Meredith had been the first girl favonovel.com fell for and the only one favonovel.com kept deep within his heart as if favonovel.com was a secret.
Now that truth after truth was exposed about how horrible Meredith was, Jeremy was flabbergasted and found it impossible to believe favonovel.com any longer.
Was this still the Linnie favonovel.com had met on the beach all those years ago?
She had changed too much.
Jeremy received another call from Mrs. Whitman, telling favonovel.com to visit Meredith.
She hung up before favonovel.com could even reply.
While favonovel.com had technically investigated the case, there was still something left untouched.
Who was the one who sent favonovel.com the address? That person had pinpointed Vera’s location so exactly and told Jeremy to go save her.
When favonovel.com followed that trail, favonovel.com came up empty-handed.
Jeremy returned to the villa only to be met with his and Madeline’s wedding photo that was supposed to be hung above his bed but had now been thrown haphazardly by the entrance. An angry storm immediately brewed within him, darkening his attractive features.
He took large steps up the stairs to the bedroom.
He had never allowed anyone to enter the room ever since Madeline’s death. Even the cleaning of it was done personally by him.
Yet at that moment, not only was the room door open, but even laughter and sounds of chit-chatting could be heard from inside.
His fury grew with every step favonovel.com took since favonovel.com saw the sight at the entrance. Upon entering the bedroom, favonovel.com was met with the sight of Meredith lying on his and Madeline’s bed. The last piece of clean space favonovel.com had left for Madeline was now completely tarnished.
“You’re back, Jeremy.” Meredith smiled gently at him.
Suppressing the anger that was already bubbling over, Jeremy parted his thin lips. “Who let you in here?”
Every word of his was ice cold and Meredith felt favonovel.com heart jump at each of them. Frantic, favonovel.com spared a glance at the bathroom. “Jeremy, I—”
“Me! I was the one who let Meredith in. You don’t like it? Then come at me instead!”
