Chapter 555″Do you know why Aaron found you both so quickly?” Lucas asked.Upon hearing this, Aveline stopped in her tracks.She slowly turned around, her face filled with disbelief. “It was you?”Lucas smirked. “That’s right.”He approached Aveline with a cigarette between his fingers. Seeing her face pale from shock, he gently caressed it. His tone was low and soft, like a lover’s whisper, but his words were incredibly cruel.”Did you really think I’d let anyone who could keep you company slip away? Face it, Aveline. Selena’s trapped, and so are you. There’s no escape for either of you.”Aveline was furious. She raised her hand to slap him, but Lucas caught her wrist effortlessly. He looked into her angry eyes.”Aveline, things between us won’t end so easily. Have you heard the phrase ’till death do us part”?”Aveline was trembling with rage, her whole body shaking.It was him! Why would he do this? How could he?Selena was so close to leaving! She could have escaped a fate similar to Aveline’s!They were so close, just a little bit more!She saw Selena as her chance to escape, her hope for freedom. But Lucas had personally clipped the wings that might have carried her away.How could he be so cruel?At this moment, she couldn’t control her emotions. Tears welled up in her eyes. “Lucas, why are you doing this to me? Why?”Her tears fell, seeming to sear Lucas’ heart, burning a hole through it, searing and painful.He wiped the tears from her face, his gaze intense, his tone still soft. “Because I don’t want to let you go. I want you by my side always, Aveline. I’ve never been a good person. Your expectations of me were too high, and the result was bound to disappoint you.”Aveline shoved him away and ran off desperately.It felt like the universe had played a cruel joke on her!She thought that by divorcing Lucas, their relationship would end, and they would have no more ties or interactions.But Lucas had no intention of letting her go. Even without love, even if being together meant mutual torment, he still wouldn’t let go.Everything before her blurred as tears streamed down her face. She felt powerless against Lucas, unable to change the events unfolding in her life.He refused to let go, and he wouldn’t let her find peace,Why? How had it come to this?Her heart felt like it was thrown into a volcano, repeatedly scorched, burning with pain. Then suddenly it was plunged into a glacier, eaten away by extreme cold. The intense pain tore at her soul, leaving her inagony.A cold wind blew as rain began to fall, quickly soaking her. Cars sped by on the road as pedestrians grew scarce. She stood at the roadside, wishing she could die right there in the downpour.She had tried to fight against the injustice of fate, but her strength was so small.The icy rain enveloped her, and her vision went black as she fainted.Lucas had been following behind her. Seeing her collapse, he rushed forward and caught her. With a grim expression, he carried her to his car, turned on the heat, and wrapped her in a blanket. She was still shivering.Her lips were deathly pale. Even unconscious, she mumbled, “Why… why won’t you let me go… I don’t love you anymore, Lucas. I don’t love you!” Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ƒindηʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
