Chapter

Ivy swallowed down the bitterness clawing at her throat, forcing her expression into one of quiet vulnerability

She lowered her gaze, her voice soft and filled with carefully measured concern

This isn’t 

Atlas, I’m just worried about you,she murmured. You haven’t eaten or slept in days. This good for you. I believe Celeste will come backshe just needs time.” 

The mention of her name made the shadows in Atlas Whitmore’s eyes darken

His jaw clenched

Ivy.he said, his voice quiet but firm. From now on, let’s not see each other anymore. I don’t want any more misunderstandings.” 

Ivy’s breath caught. Her head snapped up, disbelief flashing in her eyes

Atlas, we’ve known each other for so many years. How can you just cut me off like this?” 

But he wasn’t even looking at her. His gaze remained fixed on the wedding portrait in front of him

The image of Celeste and him, forever frozen in time

This should have ended a long time ago,he continued, his tone devoid of warmth. You’re married And I’m married, too. I can’t keep hurting Celeste.” 

He exhaled slowly, like a man who had finally stopped lying to himself. I love her. I can’t lose her 

again.” 

The words were like a slap to Ivy’s face. Something inside her snapped

No!she shrieked, her voice raw with desperation. Atlas, I’m the one you love! It’s always been me! For over a decade, it’s always been me!” 

Her breathing was ragged, her carefully composed mask crumbling

You don’t love Celeste,she spat, her voice shaking. You just *pity her! Don’t you see? She doesn’t 

love you either! You know who she really loves-” 

” 

She stopped herself abruptly, her chest heaving

Chapter 9 

Atlas stared at her, his brows furrowing slightly. For the first time, he saw Ivynot as the 

unattainable woman he had once chased after, not as the person he had once put on a pedestalbut as someone desperate

Desperate to hold onto him

Does Ivy love him? The thought struck him as odd

Because if she truly had, why had she chosen to marry someone else

For years, he had been the one following her like a shadow, always waiting, always hoping. And Ivy had never stopped himbecause she had loved his devotion, his attention, the way he worshipped 

her

But now, looking at herAtlas no longer understood her at all

A sudden buzz* from his phone broke the silence. A message from his assistant. Two video files

Atlas tapped on them

They were grainy hospital footagean angle from a dimly lit stairwell

His hand clenched into a fist so tightly his knuckles turned white

The video ended. A suffocating silence filled the air

Slowly, he turned to Ivy

His voice was so cold, so void of warmth, that it sent a shiver down Ivy’s spine. Do you anything to say for yourself?”
