Chapter 14 

“Dad, why won’t you let me break it off? Are you forcing me to marry someone I don’t love?” 

Uncle Johnson glared at his son. “Have you lost your mind? You brought Viola home yourself, declaring she was the woman you wanted to spend your life with. You told Calista, to her face, that you were marrying Viola and she should abandon any illusions about you. Everything’s arranged–everyone knows about the wedding. Would you have me lose face? Where’s my 

reputation in all this?” 

Ken stood like a statue, his heart as bitter as ash. Finally, he spoke softly. “Dad, can you find out 

exactly where Calista is?” 

Uncle Johnson lit a cigarette in frustration. “The research bases are classified, Ken. Even if I knew, I 

couldn’t tell you.” He exhaled heavily. “Let it go. She’s made her choice–why keep tormenting her?” 

After his father left, Ken stood alone in Calista’s old room, memories washing over him. 

Through his tears, he saw her face clearly in his mind: 

“Ken, it’s thundering–I’m scared. Will you stay with me?” 

“Ken, my birthday wish is to be with you forever.” 

“Ken, I like you…‘ 

A thunderclap jolted him back to reality. He stood in the empty room, the truth finally sinking in. 

She didn’t want him anymore. 

The untouched medicine spray still sat on her table. His heart ached thinking of how his harsh 

words must have hurt her. 

“Calista… I’m sorry.” 

But apologies came too late. 

Uncle Johnson had set the wedding for the sixth of next month. But Ken refused to meekly marry the woman who’d driven Calista away. He’d delay it as long as possible. Let his father make the arrangements–once Ken found Calista, she would be his bride instead. 

He had to get her back.
