I Fell for the Man Who Ruined Me, Then He Forgot He Ever Loved Me Back novel Chapter 366

But it was merely a thought.

He could hold her, he could kiss her, but he could never truly have her. If he had never possessed her, never felt the all-consuming warmth of her love firsthand, maybe he wouldn't be this greedy. Maybe he wouldn't be this addicted.

But she was a leaf that had fluttered into his palm, resting there just long enough before the wind tore her away, leaving behind a phantom sensation that haunted his every waking thought.

Julian was undeniably a good man—so flawless that Jorrod couldn't find a single flaw to tear apart.

If Jorrod were a woman, wouldn't he also choose someone like Julian to spend the rest of his life with? The answer was yes.

In the realm of love, if someone arrived too late, they couldn't blame anyone else. They could only curse fate for handing them the wrong timing.

But for Jorrod, he had been there so early... so incredibly early.

He had no one to blame. No one but himself.

His fingers tightened aggressively around the steering wheel.

He remembered the fleeting glimpse of the flight confirmation on Sienna's phone screen a few days ago.

Aurelia to Stanton City.

He had thought he was so clever, manipulating the board to secure Julian's transfer back to headquarters.

Instead, he had grossly overestimated his own place in her heart.

It had barely been a month, and even this pathetic, hidden arrangement between them was being ripped to shreds.

The man's eyes were pitch black, a void that allowed no light to escape.

He rolled the window halfway down. The freezing night wind roared into the cabin, slicing against his cheek and lashing at his eyes like tiny blades.

Was she getting married? Was she leaving with him? Was she cutting him off completely?

Was she... throwing him away for good?

When the knock came, Sienna was in the middle of packing her suitcase for the upcoming trip.

Hearing Jorrod's voice through the door caught her off guard.

She checked the time. Shouldn't he still be at the industry gala right now?
