A Second Chance With My Billionaire Love
Chapter 2921-2930
Chapter 2921 The air hung heavy, a palpable tension between them.
Melissa's earlier passion, once aflame in Marcus’ indifferent embrace, now felt like a distant memory. The heat of their intimacy had faded, leaving a cold, awkward silence.
Embarrassment washed over Melissa.
Her lips quivered as she struggled with the desire to reveal her true identity to Marcus, yet each time the words neared escape, they retreated unspoken.
Marcus’ harsh declaration that their fleeting encounter was worth two million dollars severed any lingering ties.
In that moment, their relationship crumbled to dust.
Regret gnawed at Melissa. Perhaps her journey to Duefron was a mistake. Maybe it was better to let Marcus harbor his disdain, believing her to be superficial. Hatred, she reasoned, would eventually fade, leaving her as the sole custodian of their shared memories.
Clutching the quilt closer, Melissa removed her ring, placing it on the bedside table.
It never truly belonged to her.
Rising from the bed, she dressed unhurriedly, indifferent to her exposed skin. Her clothes, damp from the rain earlier, clung uncomfortably to her body, but her desire to leave overshadowed any discomfort.
Escape was all she yearned for now, as fervently as she had once craved his presence. Her hands trembled slightly as she fastened the last button...

Marcus watched her, his gaze unyielding.
Finally clothed, Melissa bid him farewell, a finality in her tone.
This, she believed, was their last encounter.
“I'm leaving. You won't be troubled by me again.” Marcus remained still, the dim light casting shadows across his once tender, now indifferent features. His eyes, once warm, now held traces of animosity.
As Melissa approached the guest room door, Marcus’ voice halted her.
“yadt.” Her body tensed.
Approaching, Marcus extended a check from the tea table.
It was for ten million.
He placed it in her hand with a chilling detachment. “Remember to take the pill." Tears brimmed in Melissa's eyes, but she lifted her head slightly, refusing to let them fall.
After a moment, she steadied her voice and replied, “Mr. Fowler, I'l remember the pill. As for the check, I don't need it."
Chapter 2922 With no desire to linger, Melissa hurried away.
The check slipped from Marcus’ grasp, fluttering to the floor. Marcus, taking a moment, stooped to retrieve and tear it in half.
He then moved to the bedside table, picking up the ring.
His fingers traced over it, as if feeling the lingering warmth of Melissa's touch. The bed, too, seemed to retain traces of her presence.
(Eagles) But she was gone, driven away by his own actions.
He doubted she would return.

It marked the end of whatever they had shared.
A self-mocking laugh escaped Marcus as he mused on the folly of their relationship. It was a fantasy, a delusion he no longer wished to entertain.
Downstairs, Melissa faced the chill of early summer's dawn. Her clothes, still damp, clung to her as the rain ceased.
Taxis were scarce at this hour, and she wasn't in the mindset to seek one. Instead, she walked to a nearby 24-hour pharmacy.
Inside, she purchased a box of morning-after pills. The cashier glanced at her with a mix of concern and curiosity, seeing Melissa's disheveled appearance.
It seemed to the cashier that Melissa had probably been assaulted.
The cashier offered Melissa a glass of warm water, which she gratefully accepted. The cashier, a mother in her forties, felt a pang of sympathy as Melissa swallowed the pill.
Yet, being strangers, she held back from saying more.
As Melissa stepped outside, the sky began to lighten. She wandered the streets aimlessly, her body occasionally sprayed with mud from passing cars.
She hardly noticed.
Her aimless walk continued, not returning to the hotel until the dawn softened. Hunger and fatigue weighed on her, but sleep eluded her.
Instead, she retrieved a diary and birth certificate from her luggage, poring over them repeatedly.
Then, in a decisive act, she set them alight.
Going forward, her identity would remain a mystery to everyone, Marcus included.
These burning pages ensured her identity, including her connection to Marcus, would remain a secret. Afterwards, Melissa curled up on the small bed, the quilt drawn tightly around her.
Sleep finally came, bringing with it a dream of the past. She was a cared-for child again, longing to confess her affection for Marcus.
Awakening, her eyes were cool, and tear-streaked.
Melissa sat in silence, slowly wiping away her tears. She resolved not to dwell in sadness. Love was one thing; life, another.
Chapter 2923 To her, Marcus was now like a distant moon, unattainable and not to be pondered upon.
She phoned the breakfast shop owner in Warsew. The proprietress, sensing Melissa's ordeal, offered no questions. She simply welcomed Melissa back to work.
Melissa's thanks came softly, tinged with relief.
After a pause, the proprietress advised, “Don’t overthink. Your job awaits your return.” Melissa had planned to return to Warsew that afternoon, but her departure was unexpectedly delayed.
A knock at the door broke the silence. Opening it, she encountered a stranger, a man who appeared respectable.

He greeted her with a warm smile. “You're Melissa Brown, aren't you? I'm Thomas Smith.” (Eagles) ‘s (Eagles) The mention of ‘Smith" had Melissa quickly shutting the door.
Leaning against it, her heart raced. She was puzzled and alarmed -why would the Smith family be seeking her out? Thomas was the younger brother of that man.
Outside, Thomas remained patient. Melissa's reaction suggested she was aware of her connection to the Smiths but chose to deny it.
