Bye, My Irresistible Love

Scarlett’s POV: 

The first night after Charles had left, i tossed and turned in bed all night long. Our argument a few days ago was still fresh in my memory as if it had just happened yesterday. Restless, I sat up and picked up my phone to check the time. It was already four o’clock in the morning, yet here I was, still wide awake.

While I was scrolling through my newsfeed, a headline caught my attention. I read through it and found that the plane N873GK bound for BL had crashed at one o’clock this morning. The rescue team had confirmed that thirty-five people had died in the crash..

My phone slipped from my hand upon reading this. My mind went blank for a moment, and I felt as though I had been struck by lightning Wasn’t N873GK the flight Charles had taken? It couldn’t be. It was impossible!

A sinking feeling emerged in my heart. Well, thanks to this, I snapped back to reality. Where was the remote control? There must have been a mistake! I jumped out of bed and fumbled for the remote control with trembling hands. It was on the sofa. As soon as I saw it, I picked it up and turned the TV on. 

The news anchor was broadcasting the tragedy with a heavy heart. As she spoke, the number of deaths increased by the minute. And now, the death toll had climbed to 105.

Shell-shocked, I sat motionless on the sofa while staring at the TV screen with lifeless eyes. The rising death toll numbed my heart.

But what I was worried about the most was that God would pronounce Charles’s death the next second. If that moment came, my heart and soul would die with him.

I lived like a walking dead in the following week. There was still no news about Charles until now. We had no idea if he was still alive.

My reason told me that there was no hope that he would return, but I forced myself to believe in the minuscule possibility that

he was just out there. a I saw with my own eyes that the Moore family had turned upside down overnight. When Grandpa and Grandma heard that Charles’s plane had crashed, their blood pressure spiked, which caused them to faint. Fortunately, they were rushed to the hospital in time. Alice’s face bathed in tears every day, and there were deep and dark circles under her eyes. Only Lawrence managed to remain calm and composed among the whole family. 

A few days later, I decided to move back to the Moore mansion with the kids.

One day, Richard came back at last.

I immediately walked up to him and eagerly asked, “How‘s the investigation going?”
