“Why not? We’ve only been apart for a few months. She loved me so much; we were together for five years. Five years! That’s over sixteen hundred days–how could she just stop loving me? She’s only angry. She’s angry I registered with Sharon; angry I broke my promise and didn’t marry her on her birthday. She’s angry I didn’t rush in to save her when the fire nearly took her life–but I didn’t even know she was in there.”
As he spoke, a tear suddenly slid down Jensen’s cheek.
“When we were in school, didn’t our teachers say that admitting mistakes and changing is the greatest virtue? I really know I was wrong; I was wrong. Natalie will give me a chance to make it right, won’t she? That Baron–he’s just a son–in–law who married into the family; he’s not worthy of Natalie! And how long has he even known her? How could he possibly matter to her? Natalie’s sentimental; she wouldn’t ignore me.”
At that moment, Jensen looked like a wounded lion licking his wounds alone; the sight made Felix’s eyes sting with heat.
“Jensen, I heard you’ve been digging into Baron’s background. No matter if he’s only the Stone family’s live–in son–in–law, the fact that he risked his life to pull Natalie from the fire–that alone is enough to make her look at him differently. And they’ve spent months together already. Maybe what they have isn’t as deep as what you once had with her; but to say there’s no bond at all? That’s unlikely. Otherwise, Natalie wouldn’t openly come and go with him.”
Felix’s reasoning was level, but Jensen couldn’t accept it.
“Rubbish! Natalie is not someone who opens her heart easily. Who the heck is Baron? How could a few months be enough to win her over? I don’t believe it!”
Faced with Jensen’s furious outburst, Felix could only sigh; he had no words left.

you home.”
“Jensen, you’re drunk. Let me take
Jensen’s gaze had grown unfocused, so Felix had no choice but to force him out of the bar and into the car.
But Jensen kept shouting, “I want to see Natalie. Felix, take me to her! I miss her!”
Felix shifted uncomfortably. “Jensen, where she’s staying now is private property. Even if I drive to the base of the mountain, I can’t get you past the gates. Don’t put me in a bind. Let me take you home. Sleep it off; in the morning things will look different.”

“My Natalie has her parents now; she has people backing her. And me? I can’t even see her anymore. We used to be together every single day–how did it end up like this?”
Felix gave him no answer, only delivered him back to Lanju.
Jensen looked around at the familiar surroundings; his chest felt stuffed with cotton, suffocating him.
“Felix, it hurts here.”
He pounded his fist against his chest; his eyes were bloodshot.
Felix had no idea how to comfort him.
He laid Jensen down in his room; then, worried about leaving him alone all night, he called Loretta, asking her to send someone.
When Loretta heard Jensen was drunk, she immediately sent the housekeeper, Lucy, to look after him.
Once Felix saw the Luke family had arrangements in place, he finally left.
The vast villa was quiet, with Jensen lying alone in bed.
Though drunk, his mind was painfully clear.
He stared up at the ceiling, remembering how every time he came home after drinking too much at social events, Natalie would make him some hot drink.
He stumbled to his feet, weaving into the kitchen. He wanted to make it himself–but he had no idea how.
Everything in the kitchen was exactly as Natalie had left it.
For a moment, he almost saw her there again, bustling about. Original content can be found at.net
She could never reach the high cabinets; she’d always have to stretch on tiptoe. The sight of her struggling had always made him step forward, help her, then slip his arms around her waist from behind, teasing her at her ear for half the night.
Those sweet days and images now cut him like a dull blade, slowly carving his heart to pieces.
He leaned against the doorframe, tears streaming unchecked, whispering Natalie’s name–but

she was gone; her loving eyes, her familiar figure, nowhere in sight.
Suddenly, the sound of the front door unlocking echoed through the silence.
“Natalie! Natalie’s back!”

Jensen went running madly toward the sound–but his drunkenness sent him sprawling to the floor.
His palms scraped raw, blood seeping out; yet he didn’t even notice, dragging himself toward the door.
In that moment, there was nothing left of the cold, composed president of Luke Corp.
