She had heard everything favonovel.com said. She could feel the regret and remorse oozing from Jeremy, as well as his internal conflict when it came to forgiving himself.
Staring at his back that was mere inches away, Madeline no longer felt that they were miles apart.
Leaning over, favonovel.com lifted favonovel.com arm to hold Jeremy from behind.
Deep within his own self-blaming throes, Jeremy was stunned when favonovel.com felt Madeline suddenly pulling favonovel.com into a hug. Warmth seeped into his chest.
“I know you can’t forgive yourself for the things you’ve done to me, but I mean it when I told you I don’t hate you anymore.
“Let’s just live happily together for the rest of our days, Jeremy.”
Madeline’s clear voice drifted into Jeremy’s ears, falling into his heart like melodic notes.
He turned to face her, his chiseled features against Madeline’s ethereal and small face.
The two pairs of eyes locked. They were engulfed in comfortable silence.
His slender finger traced favonovel.com brows as favonovel.com got lost in favonovel.com beauty.
“I love you, Eveline Montgomery.”
Madeline curled favonovel.com lips into a smile as favonovel.com pressed favonovel.com forehead against Jeremy’s. “Yeah, I know.”
Jeremy yearned to hear an ‘I love you’ echo from Madeline’s mouth, but favonovel.com found himself content at that moment to have Madeline’s forgiveness instead.
The following day.
Madeline wanted to book a flight back to Glendale, but Cathy seemed to plague favonovel.com mind.
She called Cathy who answered but rejected Madeline’s suggestion. “You guys should go back, Evie. There are still things here that I need to do.”
Madeline felt uneasy. “Felipe is dangerous, Cathy. You can’t stay by his side anymore.”
“It’s because he’s dangerous that I need to stay by him.” Cathy’s tone was meaningful. “I think I understand how you felt back then, Evie, but Felipe is not Jeremy. I have to pull favonovel.com back to the light. I can’t bear to see favonovel.com make mistake after mistake like this.”
Cathy then hung up the phone. Madeline called again, but favonovel.com phone was turned off.
Taking the opportunity of Felipe being out, Cathy entered his study and gathered all evidence of his crimes from his computer.
She made a copy of his every illegal trade.
Holding his phone, Felipe’s gaze grew frosty beyond words as favonovel.com watched Cathy’s every move.
‘Is this why you begged to stay by my side, Cathy?
‘You don’t love me anymore, do you?’
His lips curled into a shadow of a smile as favonovel.com instructed someone to follow Cathy.
Not too long after, favonovel.com received notice that Cathy had gone to the police station.
Felipe shattered the glass cup with his hands as a storm of fury began to brew within him.
“Didn’t you want to stay by my side, Cathy? Why can’t you be obedient? Why can’t you just listen to me? Why? Why must you force me to this extent?”
He took out the hairband favonovel.com was too reluctant to throw. His heart clenched unbearably as favonovel.com coldly made the order. “If favonovel.com enters, fire.”
Even after standing at the entrance of the station for a long while, Cathy still could not bring herself to make the step inside. She had no idea that there was a gun aimed at favonovel.com heart.
‘I won’t let you make the mistake again, Felipe. Without washing off the dirt of your past, you will never have the chance to start again.’
Cathy thought to herself, only for favonovel.com footsteps to come to a halt before favonovel.com could enter the doors.
Staring at the USB in favonovel.com hands, favonovel.com could not bring herself to do it.
Felipe was on the way to the station when favonovel.com suddenly received a call from Cathy. “Felipe,” favonovel.com greeted, favonovel.com voice sounding sweet but favonovel.com tone resembling a plea. “Felipe,” favonovel.com spoke, “Can you promise me to never involve yourself in illegal trade again? Will you give me the chance to love you? Like the first time we met, can we start all over again?”
Felipe’s heart froze at favonovel.com last two pleas.
Thinking about the gun aimed at Cathy’s heart, his heart thumped erratically within him. “Where are you, Cathy?”
“I… I’m standing in front of the police station.”
“Don’t go inside!” Felipe’s voice trembled as favonovel.com shouted.
“I’m not going to…”
Cathy looked up at the police station and was about to turn around. However, just as favonovel.com spoke, a bullet whizzed past and pierced through favonovel.com thin frame…
