Chapter 24


    Chapter 24


    The rooftop was eerily quiet. Weston stared at his empty hands, refusing to believe he had just


    watched Ste fall down…He didn’t even manage to grab the hem of her clothes.


    The world suddenly fell silent. Guinevere’s panic shouts rang beside his ears, but Weston didn’t hear


    them. His eyes looked void of emotion as if he couldn’t see or hear. His chest felt empty. Then, an


    overwhelming pain took over, hurting him so much that he found it difficult to breathe. This feeling felt


    so foreign that even he didn’t understand it. Why… were his eyes red like a madman’s?


    ‘Ste…Ste…For a moment there, Weston felt detached from this world. He could only hear a


    woman’s screams getting sharper and sharper,ced with a fear she couldn’t suppress…


    “Weston! Weston Ford, what are you doing?!”


    Guinevere’s eyes widened in shock as she hugged her stomach and shouted hysterically like a


    madwoman. “Quick! Hurry up and seize him! Hurry!”


    ***


    The howling wind whistled beside her ears. The instant she fell, all of her fears died away. Ste


    seemed to have seen the man’s panicked and pained expression, but she wondered if she had been


    mistaken.She must have been.


    The man who had chosen Guinevere without hesitation and refused to believe her would never lose his


    mind or tear up for her sake. Her vision blurred and she felt an unbearable pain take over her body,


    torturing her stomach. Every bone in her body was broken but her flesh was intact so the blood of


    death couldn’t flow out.


    Her tears solidified in her eyes.


    She closed her eyes as her stomach contracted. A wave of warmth flowed through her skin.


    “It hurts…


    ‘It hurts so much…’


    Ste opened her mouth. Her cold blood, chilled by the icy wind, finally poured out, sttering on the


    dusty ground,

    She was losing consciousness, but the sharp pain didn’t decrease at all. But she felt death closing in,


    bit by bit, just like how that little life was flowing out of her body right now…


    A tear escaped her eyes and Ste’s nose tingled. This was the only child she could ever have.


    ‘I will be leaving this world with you before I can even see your face…


    “I’m sorry for not protecting you…’

    In just two weeks, everything went back to normal. The kidnapping incident that had caused an uproar


    in Ahn City ended just like that. That day, not many people had witnessed Ste’s fall. However, the


    story was spread on the inte for a period of time and there was even live footage of it. The media


    had just gotten information and the materials only circted in themunity for a short while before


    they were taken down. The Ford and Cohen families had spent a lot of money to shut down this news.


    Yet, some people didn’t understand why the kidnappers would kidnap two women at the same time to


    threaten Weston. Guinevere was his fiancee, the only official girlfriend he had ever acknowledged to


    the public, so it made sense for the kidnappers to kidnap her.


    So… who was the other woman?
