Divorced CEO's Forgotten Wife Strikes Back (Riley and Bryce) novel Chapter 339

Chapter 339 Never

Lucky Draw

When he was young, Sebastian had been wiped by Gregory time and again. He had been called a useless tool who couldn’t even keep Audrey from leaving. In those years, he’d sworn to himself that he would never become the kind of man Gregory

was.

But now… was he becoming the very person he hated most?

“Sebastian?” Riley watched the man who was laughing in such a broken way that something indescribable rose in her chest.

She understood his wounds.

But that did not mean she would ever accept force. If he really crossed that line, she knew she would never forgive him.

Even if she felt sorry for the boy he used to be, she still wouldn’t forgive him.

After a long silence, Sebastian finally ope

is eyes again.

This time, the despair inside them had gone still and cold.

It reminded her of the first time she ever saw him.

“All right, Riley. I won’t touch you. I won’t force you. If you don’t want to stay by my side, I won’t cling to you. Just as you once

said, we can go our separate ways”

With that, he turned and walked out of the bedroom, not sparing her another glance.

Only silence remained around her.

Riley lay on the bed and exhaled slowly.

She should have felt relieved. If Sebastian had refused to stop, her injured shoulder would’ve made it impossible to resist him. It could’ve ended in disaster.

But why was her mind filled with the lifeless look in his eyes at the end? Why did that look make her chest tighten?

Meanwhile, Sebastian had stepped into his study. He slammed his fist into a glass cabinet door. The glass shattered instantly, and blood covered his hand.

Bright red drops fell onto the floor, one after another.

He felt no pain. Instead, he laughed in a hoarse, twisted voice. “I will never become like my father. Never.”

If loving someone and being unable to have them would turn him into the man he despised, then maybe the solution was to stop loving entirely.

If he could stop caring, stop longing, stop wanting her, then he wouldn’t repeat Gregory’s path.

If only he could go back to how he was before.

Before he ever met her.

When Riley woke the next morning, Sebastian was nowhere to

be seen.

When she went downstairs to the dining room, she spotted a prepared breakfast on the table.

Did Sebastian make this?

She looked around but didn’t see him anywhere.

Is he avoiding me on purpose?

Just as she was about to begin eating, the corner of her eye caught something outside the floor–to–ceiling window. A helicopter was parked on the lawn.

A helicopter?

Why would one be here?

Could Gregory have come again?

Alarmed, Riley rushed outside and stopped in front of the

aircraft.

But she did not see Gregory anywhere.

Footsteps sounded behind her.

Riley turned. The person standing there was entirely unexpected.

“Felix?”

“Yes, Ms. Anderson,” Felix said as he approached.

“Why are you here? And what’s with the helicopter?” Riley asked.

She had thought that only she and Sebastian were on this island.

“Mr. Torres instructed me to follow your orders. If you wish to leave the island, you may leave at any time,” Felix said.

Riley froze.

At any time?

But according to her agreement with Sebastian, she was supposed to stay for two more days.

“Where is Sebastian?” she asked.

“Mr. Torres has already departed” Felix said. “If you wish to stay here longer, you may. I’ll arrange for s

personnel to come to the island. You may vacation.”

“No. That won’t be necessary,” Riley said.

Sebastian has already… left?

And he’s letting me go early.

So he truly meant it when he said they’d go their separate ways.

Last night had likely been their real ending.

Riley lowered her gaze. A sour ache spread through her chest.

Perhaps it was for the best. She and Sebastian had never been suited for each other.

Now they had simply gone back to where they stood before anything began.

“Ms. Anderson, may I ask what your plans are now?” Felix asked.

“Washington. I’ll return now,” Riley said.

“Very well. I’ll make the arrangements,” Felix replied.

On the way, she contacted Lara and Vince to tell them she was coming home.

And as soon as she stepped off the helicopter, she saw them waiting for her.

The moment Vince saw her, he ran forward and hugged her tightly. “Rye, you finally came back.”

She lifted a hand and patted his back. “I told you on the phone. I’m fine.”

But Vince still held on.

Even though she said she was fine, he had worried the entire time, not knowing what had happened or what Sebastian might have done to her.
