Chapter 624 Love Requires Compromise (Part Two) (2/2)
With heavy steps, he walked hesitantly. Upon arriving at the airport, Steven could feel a heaviness in his heart. Now, conflicting emotions were taking over the grief that seemed to crush his spirit. The closer he was to home, the more complicated his emotions became. Memories flooded his mind that almost gave him a headache. He remembered everything, the happy, the sad, they all resurfaced now.
”Mr. Steven, long time no see,” he heard a voice in the dark calmly greet him. It was dark and Steven tried to make out who had spoken.
He finally made out a bulky man standing at the corner. He stood and behaved like a soldier.
Steven beamed a smile in the dark and replied, ”Indeed, it's been a long while.” He blew out a
When her boyfriend betrayed her, all light and joy was gone from Cherry’s life. Deserted, bereft of hope, she married a man that she had barely met, but she had never expected him to be her ex-boyfriend’s uncle.
Cherry thought that she had finally found her happiness, but she had no idea about the dark secrets that were bound to unfold and haunt her forever...

The thought of Brian made Molly's heart ache. Irritated and in grief, she bit her lips and shut her eyes to hide her pain even with no one around to see it.

This was what she felt for Brian. Molly's lips quivered as she continued to sob. Gritting her teeth, she mumbled, ”Brian, you bastard!”
Before she could stop herself, Molly had opened her eyes, grabbed the ring, rushed to the window and hurled it outside. It all happened very quickly yet smoothly. Molly, not fully aware of what she'd done, saw the ring with its tiny blue light twinkling disappear into a cover of darkness.
