When There Is Nothing Left But Love

Seeing that, I strode forward, following the route that Nora had told me in advance. Only the fourth floor of Armond’s villa was occupied at that moment. Nonetheless, it was exceptionally challenging to locate the stairway leading downstairs because the place was humungous. He might have possibly built it that way on purpose to make it difficult for people to find the staircase.

Remembering what Nora told me, I managed to locate the exit and quickly headed downstairs to the living room.

I was stunned to see several hundred policemen besieging the villa. Right then, I also noticed Ashton in their midst.

It had been a few days since I last saw him. That man stuck out like a sore thumb in the crowd, wearing a dark-colored trench coat, looking as dapper as ever.

I was taken aback for a moment until our gazes were fixated on each other. A fuzzy feeling arose in me, and I ran toward him without the slightest hesitation.

Oh, how I’ve missed him and longed for his embrace these days. My overwhelming emotions fueled me to dash toward him relentlessly like waves hitting the shore.

Simultaneously, he was darting across the room to me. Nothing else mattered at that moment besides falling into his arms and hugging him tightly with my head buried in his chest.

The reunion made me tear up. “I thought I’ll never be able to see you again in this lifetime. I thought I’ll have to face everything on my own this time. I thought you’ll never come. I…”

“Silly girl!” He assured me in a low voice while hugging me, “How could I let you face this alone? Not now and never will.”

my body started to warm up as I calmed down. I could feel my heart beating normally again with him beside me, and that felt good. I felt like I
