The security guard explained he’d only stepped away for a few minutes to use the restroom. When he returned. Iris was gone.

Julian checked the surveillance footage.

The camera at the gate only showed Iris walking forward, phone in hand, before she moved out of frame about fifty yards out.

After that, she vanished.

None of the other street cameras picked her up anywhere.

Julian was frantic. All composure left him. He called the police anfhired over a hundred private security personnel to comb the area.

He didn’t stop, didn’t rest, searching through the day and deep into the night–close to losing his mind with worry.

Early the next morning, Freya received a local delivery and immediately called Julian.

He rushed back to the villa, took the package from her, and sank onto the living room couch to open it.

Inside was a single letter.

It was in Iris’ handwriting. He’d loved watching her write ever since high school, knew the shape of every curve and line better than anyone.

The first sentence read, “Julian, I’m leaving.”

Those words hit him like a physical blow. His long fingers began to tremble. His handsome face, already worn from a sleepless night, went stark and ashen, eyes rimmed with red.

Chapter 289 the Farewell Lather

We were never meant to be. You can’t force something like this-it only ends in hurt.

“So goodbye.

“Maybe in another life, let me be the one who falls for you first. Let me be the one chasing you, and you can be the one to walk away.

“Forget about me. Forget about the baby.

“I hope we never meet again.

“And remember-you have to be happy.

“From Iris, who never loved you.”

Julian’s hand slowly clenched, crumpling the paper tightly. His heart felt hollowed out, scraped raw.

He leaned back against the couch, head tilted up, eyes shut tight. Tears escaped from the corners of his eyes and trailed down his temples.

His lips parted on a shaky exhale. Then came a low, rough laugh-cold and sharp. “Never loved me?”

He opened his eyes. They were bloodshot, swollen with a pain too heavy to hold. He swiped angrily at his tears, but nothing could wipe away the bleeding inside.
