With persistent defiance, Rena dared to inquire once more, “Do you love me?”

A furrow formed on his brow and he withheld his response, leaving Rena unanswered.

Anticipating this inevitable outcome, Rena had foreseen the course of events. She understood that he lacked love for her and found no inclination to deceive, rendering him incapable of providing a reply.

Gracefully, Rena’s grasp released the diamond ring, allowing it to descend gently upon the floor, producing a subtle sound.

The ring’s descent mirrored their fragile connection. When their relationship had ended, the ensuing turmoil had not been as tumultuous as Elvira’s but rather a somber quietness. Rena, herself, would forever bear the weight of agony alone.

Fixing her gaze upon Waylen’s eyes, Rena spoke with tender intonation.

“Waylen… I don’t want this. I don’t want any of this anymore. If your heart cannot be offered, then I have no desire for you. Waylen, fret not.

I shall no longer confine you and neither must you restrain me through marriage. You are free. Do you understand?”

Having uttered those words, Rena turned on her heel, striving to depart with poise, upholding the remnants of her pride.

She had to depart with dignity intact…

Countless souls had fallen for unscrupulous men and each had suffered the deceit of affection. It was merely a wager and she happened to lose.

Nevertheless, it mattered not. She could rise again, even from the deepest of falls.

She vowed never to become his wife.

“Renal!”

Waylen chased after Rena, clutching her hand tightly.

Rena attempted to shake off his grip.

However, he held her steadfastly, his grasp unyielding, as he professed, ‘Listen, I am not toying with you. I…”

Rena found herself unable to break free from his clutches.

In a composed manner, she uttered, “I know you are not toying with my emotions. You merely settle for what is convenient. -You cannot deny the lingering presence of your former lover within your heart, nor can you bear the thought of causing her any harm. Yet, you have remained oblivious to my sentiments and the anguish I endure. Waylen, our relationship has reached its end.”

With clenched teeth, Waylen pulled her into his embrace and proposed,

“Let us return home and discuss this matter in the comfort of our abode.”

In that very moment, a piercing scream erupted from the ward.

“Miss Coleman… Miss Coleman!”

Rena turned around, her eyes red.

Elvira’s countenance was pallid and her injured wrist bled steadily, yet she laughed hysterically. “Waylen, you cannot abandon me. If you choose her, I shall take my own life.”

Striding forward, Waylen applied pressure to Elvira’s wound.

Lowering his voice, he implored, “Elvira, when will this cease?”

Elvira’s lips quivered. “You are well aware of the answer.”

Rena stood there, utterly fatigued.

Ending their relationship meant she would no longer be compelled to leave for Flirean against her will.

Ending their relationship meant she would never again wait for him in the long, desolate nights.

Indeed, breaking up with him had its merits,

With a decisive turn, Rena departed, no longer desiring to witness the anguish of the lovelorn couple.

Retuming to Waylen’s apartment, Rena gradually dismantled the meticulously arranged Valentine’s Day decorations. The cost of the adommments amounted to fifty thousand dollars, accompanied by Michelin-starred cuisine and elegant silver candlesticks.

She discarded all of them.

The invitation letter from the esteemed music school abroad found its place within the confines of the trash can.

Following these actions, Rena proceeded to pack her belongings, preparing to depart.

Just then, her phone rang.

It Was a call from Eloise, her voice trembling with tears. “Rena, come to the hospital. Your father had a tragic accident.. His condition is dire… He may not make it… Rena, he wishes to see you one final time. Please, hurry to his side, Rena!”

Eloise’s tears flowed uncontrollably, threatening to shatter her composure.

With his final remnants of consciousness, her husband grasped her hand and repeatedly called out Rena’s name. He yearned to… see his beloved daughter.

In the last fleeting moments of his life, Darren’s utmost concern centered around Rena.

Rena’s entire world collapsed in an instant.

Setting aside all tasks at hand, she hastily descended the stairs.

The rain continued to pour…

Rena pressed down hard on the accelerator.

As she drove, her vision blurred, making it impossible to distinguish between raindrops and tears…

Faster…

She had to go faster!

She had to be by het father’s aide in his final moments. She needed to express her deep love for him, assure him that she would care for Eloise with utmost devotion.

She longed to affirm that he was the greatest father,

Tears streamed down Rena’s face, obscuring her visage.

Suddenly, screeching tres filled the air…

Rena found herself momenarily stunned.

Disregarding the heavy downpour, she hastily exited the car and opened the hood, only to be greeted by a billowing cloud of black smoke.

The car had broken down…

Without a moment’s pause for contemplation, she desperately attempted to hail a taxi. However, it being Valentine’s Day, countless young couples sought transportation, rendering it impossible for her to secure a cab.

Undeterred, Rena ran through the rain. Ahead lay a shopping mall, where the chances of finding a taxi would be higher.

Her garments clung to her body, drenched by the rain…

Mud splattered onto her shoes and trousers…

The downpour intensified. Unaware of a small pit ahead, Rena stumbled and fell upon the wet pavement.

When she rose, her feet throbbed with excruciating pain, rendering her unable to walk…

Frantically, she attempted to flag down passing cars, yet none were willing to offer her a ride.
