My Love Until the Last Goodbye (Mary and Maximus) novel Chapter 869

Chapter 0869

Pierre had been a close friend of Alexia Levett back when she lived in France. They had gone to university together.

As her only and best friend, Pierre knew everything about Alexia he knew about Gabriel and their wild love story, though he never fully bought into it.

He had met her when she switched majors, and many times Pierre had been the shoulder Alexia cried on. Back then, she only saw him as a friend–nothing more. Her entire world revolved around Gabriel.

Every sigh, every thought, was for that man. When she and Gabriel broke up, Pierre was away on a trip. She never told him, but his family was one of the wealthiest in Versailles. He had always tried to keep a low profile, just wanting to live a normal life in Paris.

When he returned, he was met with the news that Alexia and Gabriel had split up–or that he had left her. Pierre knew that story by heart. He didn’t have to be a genius to see that sooner or later, they’d end up right back where they started–trapped in their toxic, dysfunctional relationship.

But this time, something was different. Something had Alexia on edge. Pierre noticed her nervousness and couldn’t help but ask if something was wrong. At first, she denied it, but he was her best friend–she couldn’t keep it from him for long.

And when she finally confessed, Pierre was left stunned. In a fit of heartbreak and recklessness, Alexia had slept with Leonardo–the father of the boy she had once left heartbroken in Valentia.

That revelation hit hard because Pierre was deeply in love with Alexia. He had always settled for the friendship

he finally revealed who he really was. Whether she fully believed him or not didn’t matter–she seized the opportunity to make the right connections, building an impressive résumé that had stunned both Matthew and Maximus when she returned from France.

Pierre and Alexia kept in touch occasionally. Time passed, and she eventually married Maximus, becoming part of the couple of the year. Gossip magazines covered their relationship from every angle, completely unaware of the hell a young girl named Mary was living in the shadows.

Years later, after a painful and tense argument with Maximus, Alexia packed her things and left for France. At that time, she still believed she could start over. She had only Lucius and Laura with her, but she soon dropped them off with Maximus, fully intending never to return.

Maximus was fed up–fed up with her jealousy, fed up with her dramatic outbursts. And Alexia? She was even more exhausted–tired of living under the shadow of another woman, just as she had lived with the ghost of Mary Preston and her “mysterious disappearance.”

Upon arriving in Paris, as if it were fate, Pierre happened to be dining at one of the country’s most luxurious restaurants: Le Meurice. Coincidentally, in an effort to spite Maximus, Alexia had booked a suite in the hotel attached to the same place.

An unexpected reunion, a long candlelit conversation, exquisite food and wine, a broken heart and an angry one- the perfect ingredients for disaster.
