I Stopped Loving Him When He Let Me Bleed Out novel Chapter 574

Finn stood by the window, his Adam's apple bobbing sharply as he fought to steady his breathing.

"Thank you, Mom."

The next day, Finn officially submitted his resignation.

The transition process went smoother than he had ever anticipated.

Once Maeve took the helm, the company didn't stutter for a single second. It was like a finely tuned machine that had just been handed over to a master operator, running flawlessly.

Three days later, Finn walked through the doors of Global Air.

He redirected every ounce of his energy back into the airline's rigorous training program.

The initial recurrency period was brutal.

For the first two weeks, he flew three short-haul domestic routes.

By the third week, he was cleared for international flights. His first route was to Frankfurt, followed immediately by Los Angeles.

As the wheels touched down, the radio crackled with the tower's voice: *"Welcome back, Captain Fletcher."*

Finn's fingers tightened over the yoke for a brief, emotional second.

His crew whispered that his flying was even smoother than before.

Miller and a few of his veteran colleagues couldn't stop talking about it.

"That kid Finn took nearly a year off, and he comes back flying better than he ever did. It's unbelievable."

The Vice President of Operations chimed in.

"I heard he's getting married soon. When a man's heart finally settles, his hands naturally follow."

Finn happened to be walking past the corridor when he heard that. He didn't break his stride, but a genuine smile curved his lips.

In the blink of an eye, the holidays arrived.

Two days before the New Year, a light dusting of snow fell over Metropolis. It melted the second it hit the pavement, leaving only a thin, pristine layer of white on the windowsills.

They had already moved into their new penthouse and were preparing to celebrate their first New Year in their new home.

Sienna got off work early that afternoon.

When she pushed the door open, she saw Finn standing in the living room, slicing open a massive shipping box stamped with a high-end bridal studio's logo.

"The wedding photos are here?" she asked, kicking off her shoes and walking over.

Finn pulled out a thick, heavy album bound in premium linen with silver foil lettering. It felt incredibly luxurious.

He sat down on the sofa, opening the cover so carefully it was as if he were handling a priceless artifact.
