1. Ruthless.

正在加载…正在加载…

1. "...your dad?"

1. "No, it's"

1. "No. It's oliver."

1. "The one they wanted me to marry."

1. "What.."

1. "Too bad. We could've made a great cover couple."

1. Attached there were several gossip pieces and news headlines.

1. ""Business deal or family drama? Chaos at the corbin-lee gala.""

1. ""Rumors spark after serena corbin walks out without explanation.""

1. ""Corbin heiress storms out mid-engagement announcement!""

1. The same photos from that night. Her walking out. 2. God. They didn't even give her a second to breathe.

1. "He sent you gossip articles..?"

1. "But why...?"

1. "I guess this is his version of closure."

1. "That's... So weird."

1. "Yeah..." 2. "But we barely knew each other."

1. "Our first meeting went badly."

1. "So did our second."

1. "I guess this is his way of saying 'whatever.'"

1. "So he's not mad?"

1. "Oliver? No. He doesn't care enough to be mad."

1. "It was our fathers who planned all this anyway."

1. "...what about your dad? Has he texted you?"

1. "Not a word. No texts. No calls."

1. "No calls. Nothing."

1. "Total silence..?"

1. "That's how he works. If he doesn't yell, he's planning."

1. "And trust me... The quiet is worse."

1. That made something twist in my stomach.

1. I wanted to pull her close, say something that would fix everything.

1. I want to say something comforting that makes her safe but we both knew there wasn't much to say yet.

1. And I can't promise her that everything will be fine.

1. "What are you going to do?"

1. "I'll deal with it tomorrow."

1. "Tonight is ours."

1. "...how long do you have off, from work?"

1. "Oh. About five days? Maybe six if I'm lucky."

1. "Good. Tomorrow I want to take you somewhere."

1. "Where?"

1. "You'll see.."

1. "It's... Important to me."

1. "To me."

1. The next day, sera took me to her grandmother's grave.

1. I'm sorry for being late, Mom.

1. She's letting me see her world.

1. All the parts no one else gets to see

1. Gets to see. 2. It's strange... How something like this can make me

1. This can make me feel closer to her than any kiss ever did.

1. I feel lucky to have her.

1. "She was the only adult who ever really listened to me."

1. "She taught me that softness wasn't weakness."

1. "That sometimes, staying kind in a cruel world... Is the strongest thing you can do"

1. "She sounds like someone I would've liked."

1. "She would've liked you, too."

1. "I hope you can see me now, grandma."

1. "I used to tell her everything I couldn't say to anyone else."

1. "Kind of like you now."

1. "She knew... If I didn't slow down, one day I'd do something I couldn't take back. And I did."

1. "She didn't judge me. But she knew"

1. "I was angry." 2. "Are you talking about that girl?"

1. "Yes.. Her name is anaïs."

1. "Do you ever think about seeing her again?"

1. "I did. More than once. But I don't think I will."

1. "It would only hurt her more now."

1. "I already did enough damage."

1. "I thought of checking on her, but... If she's okay now."

1. "Maybe my presence would just reopen something she finally managed to close."

1. "Sometimes I wonder how she's doing."

1. "I've thought about asking around. But the last time I tried to visit, they turned me away..."

1. "Maybe that's all the answer you needed."

1. "You know, I kept telling myself the worst parts of my life were behind me."

1. "But some parts don't close just because you walk away from them."

1. "I can't keep pretending my silence equals closure."

1. "I think I need to see him."

1. "Your father."

1. "I don't expect anything to change. He won't apologize."

1. "But I also don't want to run from this anymore."

1. "Do you want me to come with you?"

1. "Yes."

1. "Wait."

1. "You don't have to say anything."

1. "Just be there."

1. She didn't need to explain.

1. I was already all in

1. All in.

1. "He's expecting you."

1. I'd never met him.

1. But I knew immediately which one was him.

1. His presence was sharp and controlled.

1. Probably someone who didn't need to raise his voice to be terrifying.

1. Sera's father. Mr. Corbin.

1. "What are you doing here?"

1. "Father."

1. Sera was clearly nervous but she didn't show it.

1. But I could feel how tense she was.

1. Her hand was still in mine, firm and steady.

1. She needed to stay calm for herself and this moment.

1. Most important for closure.

1. "So..."

1. "This is the girl you threw everything away for."
