I Sold My Heart To Forget Them—Now They Beg Me To Remember novel Chapter 113

Chapter 14

Just as Jack reached the mess hall to get food for Emily, an officer rushed over, slightly out of breath.

“Captain Rivers, the security footage system that was down a while ago—it’s finally fixed. They’re waiting on your sign-off.”

Jack gave a short nod and shelved the meal run for now. It wouldn’t take long to sign off on a routine repair.

Back at the base, the tech crew was wrapping up their checks. “Sir, the damaged unit was from the central training field. It’s operational again. Take a look, and if it’s all good, I’ll clear out.”

Jack reviewed the footage, everything looked standard. He signed off on the report.

Their base stored live ammunition, so surveillance was tight-cameras in nearly every corner. Just as he turned to leave, something tugged at his memory. On impulse, he walked into the surveillance archive room.

Every soldier’s quarters had monitoring, mostly for safety and discipline.

All this time, he’d believed Olivia was the one causing trouble. But she had been the victim, she was the one being wronged. And he’d punished her for it.

His hands trembled. He watched her final day at camp, the one where the rain never stopped. Olivia stood there, soaked to the skin, hour after hour, never once breaking. Until someone approached, and just like that, Olivia walked away from the unit without a backward glance

The screen glitched. The tape ended with a harsh static hiss

She’d given up on him.

The realization hit like a punch to the gut. He gripped the edge of the desk, knuckles white.

All this time, he’d felt some lingering guilt over Emily. But now, it twisted into pure fury. She’d manipulated him. Lied to him. And Olivia had paid the price.

He knew then-without a doubt-he loved Olivia. He was in love with her.

Jaw clenched, Jack pushed off the desk and strode out of the room. He stormed straight to the hospital, his
