After Love Faded She Left Forever novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1

"Miss Anna, are you sure you want to erase all your personal records? Once it's done, you will effectively cease to exist, and no one will be able to find you."

Anna paused for a moment, then nodded firmly.

"Yes, I want to disappear from everyone’s view."

There was a hint of surprise on the other end of the line, but they replied quickly, "Understood, Miss Anna. The procedure will be completed within two weeks. Please be patient."

After hanging up, Anna took out her phone and booked a flight to France for two weeks later.

Meanwhile, a replay of the Texas Consortium’s press conference was on TV.

A week earlier, Jonathan, the president of the Texas Consortium, unveiled a unique piece of jewelry made from the world’s finest diamonds and gemstones, crafted specifically for his wife and named—

AYANNA

By naming it after Anna, Jonathan declared to the world his undying love for her.

The launch of AYANNA went viral across all major platforms, generating endless buzz. After the press conference, the TV began showing clips of reporters interviewing people on the street.

“Hello, sir! Are you aware of the legendary romance between Mr. Jonathan and his wife?”

A woman in a floral dress replied with envy, "Who doesn’t know their love story? Mr. Jonathan even published a book filled with little notes about his wife! Since she loves cherries, he filled the entire garden with cherry trees. I told my husband to learn from him, but he said he couldn’t be that kind of man. It's just frustrating!"

The reporter continued interviewing others.

A young female college student stood before the microphone with her hands clasped to her chest, saying with starry eyes, “Their love story is like a fairy tale come true! Mr. Jonathan is just the epitome of a true romantic. Four years ago, when his wife was critically ill and needed a kidney, he didn’t hesitate. Despite everyone’s objections, he lay on the operating table that very day to give her his own. He said his wife was his life, and if she were gone, he wouldn’t want to live either. What a perfect man!”

…

The reporter interviewed countless people, each expressing envy for Jonathan and Anna’s love.

The news replayed over and over, while Anna watched with a bitter smile.

Since childhood, her looks had attracted countless admirers.

But after her parents’ early divorce, Anna had never trusted love. She rejected every confession, saying, "Sorry, I don’t want a boyfriend. I'm not interested in romance."

Then she met Jonathan.

Unlike others, he persistently pursued her for three years, only growing more determined with each rejection. Once, he nearly risked his life in a high-stakes race just to win a necklace she liked.

Only then did her heart begin to soften.

When they were together, his love never wavered; in fact, he went to great lengths to make her feel cherished, gradually melting her hardened heart.

Even his proposal took fifty-two attempts before she finally found the courage to say yes and agreed to marry him.
