Chapter 11

Author: Reneemoon
Several more years passed. Garrett had aged visibly, silver creeping into his temples.

The once-vibrant businessman now looked like a man with nothing left.

One day, years later, a television newsmagazine aired a profile of Garrett.

On camera, his hair had gone completely gray, his eyes clouded. He sat in that empty mansion.

Behind him, propped in the background, was the pair of ballet shoes I used to love most.

The reporter, Claire Morgan, asked,

"Mr. Whitmore, do you have any regrets? There ar

    Several more years passed. Garrett had aged visibly, silver creeping into his temples.The once-vibrant businessman now looked like a man with nothing left.One day, years later, a television newsmagazine aired a profile of Garrett.On camera, his hair had gone completely gray, his eyes clouded. He sat in that empty mansion.Behind him, propped in the background, was the pair of ballet shoes I used to love most.The reporter, Claire Morgan, asked,"Mr. Whitmore, do you have any regrets? There are rumors that all of this was for someone you lost..."Garrett looked into the camera and was quiet for a long time.He was silent so long that the cameraman thought the feed had cut out before he finally spoke."The thing I regret most is losing someone I loved when I was young.""I haven't dreamed in years. Because all the dreams... are already broken.""I always assumed she'd be right where I left her, the way she chased me for ten years. But I forgot that once a heart shatters, you can't pie

    Kiera stood stunned, as if it had never occurred to her that my letting go was not weakness, but indifference.She opened her mouth to say something more, but Garrett shook her hand off."Go home." Garrett didn't spare Kiera a glance. His eyes stayed locked on me. "Who I love should be obvious enough by now."Kiera ran off crying, the sharp click of her heels fading into the distance.Garrett didn't follow me.He just stood there, watching me walk through the theater doors.Through the heavy glass, he watched me pick up my rehearsal notebook and take my place before the young dancers.My expression was focused, my eyes bright, and I carried a presence he had never seen before.I marked the counts with one hand, leaning in now and then to adjust a dancer's form, a quiet smile on my lips.In that moment, Garrett finally understood. The girl who had once orbited him, her eyes full of worship and love, was gone. But he didn't leave.A bouquet of fresh white roses appeared at the theater en

    His voice was hoarse. He pushed the car door open and stumbled out, reaching for my arm before freezing mid-motion.I stopped and looked at him, my expression perfectly calm.That face had appeared in my dreams countless times, jolting me awake every time.But now it was just a tired, unfamiliar mask that stirred nothing in me."How did you find me?"Garrett's eyes were red and brimming. His words tumbled out."I've been looking for you for so long... I transferred every ballet program I funded back home to an arts foundation. I mortgaged my Whitmore shares. Everything, just to find you.""Vivi, look. I've suffered too." He yanked up his pant leg, exposing a jagged surgical scar on his calf. "I hurt my leg in an accident while following a lead about you."I looked at the scar and almost laughed.I had once hidden the agony of a ruptured Achilles tendon, just so he wouldn't worry.Even when the pain had me drenched in cold sweat, I would smile and tell him I was fine.And now he was hol

    And so Garrett changed.The charming, confident Whitmore heir was gone.In his place stood a quiet, sullen man, permanently cloaked in gloom.He started drinking. He would sit alone in the empty mansion, night after night, until dawn.Margaret Whitmore watched her son spiral and, desperate, set him up on one date after another, hoping someone new could fill the void.But every time, the moment someone mentioned Vivian or he caught a glimpse of eyes that reminded him of hers, he would fly into a rage and send them away.Before long, everyone knew: the Whitmore heir was broken, and no one dared go near.More public still were the missing-person notices that appeared on digital billboards across the city.Not an official one. Garrett had paid a fortune to put it there.On the screen was an old performance photo of her in a white ballet dress, her smile radiant.Beside it was a single line."Vivian, come home. If you come back, I'll give you anything."Passersby would occasionally stop and

  • Fiancé Cheated with My Sister, I Left   Chapter 7

    Today was supposed to be our wedding day.White doves circled beneath a blue sky. A red carpet unfurled down the steps, the floral arch stood ready, guests filled every seat, and the champagne tower gleamed.There was just one person missing.I was the one missing.Garrett stood alone in the empty airport.He had assumed that even if it took a few days, she would come back the way she always had over the past ten years: red-eyed, voice soft and yielding, obediently slipping into her wedding dress to stand at his side.He could still hold her hand while keeping a place for Kiera in his heart.He thought her love was something he owned, something that could never be lost.Then Kiera swept in on a cloud of perfume."Garrett, what are you doing here?" Kiera pressed a hand over half her face, eyes red-rimmed, her voice small and pitiful. "The doctor says the burn my sister gave me might leave a scar.""Garrett, what if it scars? How am I supposed to dance? How am I supposed to show my face.

    This time, the reply came almost instantly, though the tone was laced with exhaustion.[I don't know what you did. But I woke up one day, and Vivian was just gone.][I asked everyone where she was. They all said there was no such person as Vivian.][They told me the woman I married was Kiera.]Garrett stared at the screen, unable to fathom the absurdity.[Who the hell are you?]The reply came heavy with helplessness.[I'm you, five years from now.][I threatened Vivian not to divorce me. I thought if I scared her, she'd fall in line like she always did.][But she did something I never saw coming. She disappeared from my world completely.]Garrett's fingertips were ice-cold. His teeth chattered.[What the hell happened!]A pause. Then the reply came, each word a fresh wound.[We were happy for a while, until she found out that we cut the brakes, all so Kiera could win that award.][I sent you those texts to warn you to stop before it was too late.][I thought warning you would be enough
