Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 462

That night, another wall was shattered between Arwen and Aiden.

They might not have realized this, but even with so much missing between them, they have succeeded in building something that ran deeper than what they once shared.

Arwen might not remember Aiden from the past …

But now that she had come to know him again, there was no going back.

There was no walking away from each other anymore …

Not because there are no reasons to, but because no reasons could make them to.

Their souls had tasted something they could never forget. Something real that was unforgettable.

Back in New York —

In the Martins' Residence, Selene sat at her desk under the golden chandelier. Her fingers gripped the phone tightly, as if she could shatter it into pieces and somehow erase the one thing she refused to accept.

The proof —the undeniable proof —that had turned her world upside down.

She hadn't meant to torment herself. She only wanted one glimpse of Aiden. Just to calm herself. Just to feel a little closer to him.

But if she had known this was the glimpse she would get …

She would have never dared to look.

"How could he?" she choked out, her voice barely more than a whisper —shaking with disbelief.

She had used her family's private source to extract the video footage from the Cralen International Airport, but little did she expect that it wouldn't be just Aiden she would be watching. There would be even that woman with him, wrapped in his arms like she had always belonged there.

No.

Aiden's embrace just belonged to her. No one else!

Although she had never gotten the chance to be that close to him, she had envisioned it a thousand times.

That was supposed to be her place.

That was her future.

There is no way she would allow any woman to come out of nowhere and take what was rightfully hers.

She watched the video, and her entire body trembled with rage the more he watched. The way he held her. The way he looked at her —

Like the world didn't exist beyond her lips.

Since when had he become like this?

Hadn't he always been cold? Guarded? Distant from the people —like they were just passing moments?

Then why today, he looked at that woman like she was the only one that was existing and meant to exist in his world?

Like he would walk through Hell if it meant she would be waiting at the end of it?

Why?

Selene's eyes burned with fury as she paused the video on the exact frame that showed Aiden resting his forehead against hers.

That tenderness …
