Farewell to Love: The CEO's Desperate Chase novel Chapter 575

But in that moment, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

Theodore froze.

He glanced at her, only to find she couldn't bring herself to look at him, her face turned away.

In an instant, his mind went blank.

He couldn’t think. His body acted before his mind could, and he kissed her again.

A forceful kiss.

He couldn't hold back any longer.

The air seemed to boil. He felt her hesitation, but there was no resistance.

Just before the final step, he cupped her face, his heart pounding wildly as he looked at her dazed, half-lidded eyes.

His throat bobbed. “Emilia, can I?” he asked, his voice raw.

Emilia opened her eyes and looked at the man before her.

It wasn't Tyler. It was Theodore.

“Yes,” she breathed.

Theodore smiled and kissed her, their bodies and souls intertwining.

He finally had her.

Theodore’s heart soared.

He couldn’t control himself. He just wanted more, and more, and more.

Under the moonlight, their shadows stretched, becoming one.

***

Elsewhere.

The moonlight was like water.

Tyler sat alone in the dark apartment at the head of the bed, the safe resting beside him.

He was still trying to remember.

But nothing came to him.

Suddenly, for no reason, an overwhelming sadness washed over him.

He looked up at the moon outside.

At some point, the once-bright moon had been obscured by a cloud.

He felt as if something had left him forever.

This wrenching sense of separation was agonizing.

It was because of her.
