Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 616

Chapter 616: Destroy the place.

"Be careful!"

Arwen’s voice halted Aiden mid-step, but a shard of glass still came beneath his shoe, cracking further into splinters beneath his weight.

His gaze darkened as he took in the mess on the floor —jagged pieces of what had once been a beautiful figurine, now shattered beyond repair.

"What happened here?" he asked, his voice low but dangerously dark.

"A-Aiden, I ..." Selene started, her voice trembling. But the moment she looked up and met the sharp storm brewing in Aiden’s gaze, her words froze in her throat.

"I broke it."

Arwen’s voice rang out —calm, fearless — unbothered, even.

Aiden turned to her. His expression didn’t ease, but it grew more cautious. The burning rage in her gaze was real. Unmistakable.

He had never seen her like this —as if she were on the brink of losing all the calm and patience she had practised her entire life.

Arwen stepped forward. Slowly. Deliberately.

"I broke it," she repeated again, this time like a challenge —like she was testing him and herself. "Intentionally. Was it important to you?" Her gaze flicked to look at Mr. Jones briefly. "I heard Mr. Jones mention once that you personally decorated this house. Right after you shifted back in the country and just before you brought me home after getting married. I assume ..." her eyes dropped to the glass scattered on the floor, " ... this was one of the pieces you chose yourself."

She looked up again, meeting his eyes. Searching. Maybe for confirmation —not the one she was asking in her words, but the one that her heart was imploring.

Or, maybe she was just seeking reassurance —even she wasn’t sure.

She waited.

Seconds passed. And Aiden simply stared at her, unblinking.

Just when her patience began to fray, he moved —as if on instinct.

The sound of the shards cracking further under his steps wasn’t loud, but it was unmistakable.

Selene watched him closely. The fury in his gaze had terrified her earlier, but when she saw that his focus was trained solely on Arwen, it brought her a twisted sense of relief.

If everything in the house was truly selected by Aiden —if every piece mattered to him — then Arwen would have to suffer the consequences of her recklessness. And Selene wanted to witness every second of it.

But what happened next was not what she expected.

As Aiden approached, Arwen didn’t move. She didn’t retreat. She stood her ground, her expression unreadable, watching him close the distance between them —step by step.

"You don’t have to walk to me," she said quietly, "You could have answered me from where you were."

But instead of responding to her, Aiden reached out and took her hand in his.

She tried to pull away, but as always, his grip was gentle yet unyielding —like he knew exactly how to keep her without hurting her.

"It was important," he said at last. "But not as important as you."

And maybe that was all she was waiting to hear. Her heart that was feeling tight. eased —not completely, but slightly —enough to make her feel less suffocated.

"Nothing in my life —or in this world —stands more important than you, Moon." His voice was calm, resolute. "I thought I had made that clear before, but if I failed ..." he paused, shaking his head. "Let me be clear this time."
