Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 105

"Dan, let’s not discuss it," Ryan said, getting up from the bed ready to leave.

Daniel was also not in the mood to hear the same old story, so when Ryan tried to dodge the topic, he also didn’t probe any further. Nodding, Daniel simply said, "Fine, if that’s what you want. Then I have nothing else to say. I have given you the medicine. It will help you with the hangover. Take your time freshening up.

I will wait for you downstairs."

With that, Daniel turned and was ready to leave but Ryan stopped him.

"Dan, don’t tell me, you can’t see what game Arwen is playing now," he said, and looking at him over his shoulder, Daniel raised his brows at him.

"Maybe I can’t see it. Why don’t you make it clear what you want me to see?" Daniel shrugged as if not understanding his words.

Ryan scoffed. "Her cold indifference, the way she acts like I don’t even exist anymore —it’s all a game. She is just putting up all that to make me regret the things, so I beg and come crawling back to her," he said, his voice laced with frustration. His eyes flickered with a desperate need to cling to any explanation that could make him feel less responsible for whatever void he was feeling inside.

Daniel remained silent for a moment, taking in Ryan’s words. He could see the storm brewing behind Ryan’s eyes —the denial, the refusal to accept the reality. It wasn’t the first time he had seen it, but this time it still felt different.

"Ryan," Daniel said calmly, turning back to face him fully. "You really think that Arwen is doing this to corner you? To play some twisted game of control? You really believe that?"

Ryan didn’t respond immediately, but soon his jaws tightened. "If not, what else explains her attitude?"

"You don’t know?" Daniel laughed, shaking his head as if he could believe it. "Brother, don’t tell me you haven’t even considered that this might be real. Oh, wait, who am I fooling? If you had believed it, there could be no way you have been in the state you were been yesterday."

"She —"

"Ryan, let me be real with you," Cutting him off, Daniel continued, "I remember telling you that nothing lasts forever. Even the strongest feelings fade when they are ignored and taken for granted. And it wasn’t just once you ignored Arwen. You have been taking her for granted for years. So, it shouldn’t be hard to believe that she found someone who values exactly how she rightfully deserves.

Someone who treats her better."

Daniel gave a final pat on Ryan’s shoulder. "Take your time, freshen up. I will wait for you downstairs." With that, he left the room, leaving Ryan alone with his thoughts. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}
