Chapter 21 

“I’m… sorry.” 

Charles closed his eyes as if the weight of the world pressed down on him. 

A single tear slipped, slow and heavy, from the corner of his eye. 

“Vivian… forgive me.” 

But no answer came. 

When he opened them again, she was already walking away-arm in arm with Northon Shea, 

heading into the interrogation room. 

Her small frame looked impossibly fragile beneath the harsh hallway lights, each step making his 

chest twist tighter. 

Charles stepped out of the station, lit a cigarette with trembling fingers, and rapped on the car 

window. 

Mr. Chambers rolled it down slightly. “Yes, Mr. Foster?” 

Charles stared into the distance. His eyes looked calm, but there was a cold, dangerous gleam hidden in their depths. 

“Go to the detention center. Grease a few palms-make sure Diana receives exactly the kind of “hospitality” she’s earned.” 

“And get me the best criminal defense attorney in Ridgewood, There’s no evidence I destroyed anything for her. I want that lawyer to do whatever it takes to keep me out of this.” 

Mr. Chambers’ eyes widened slightly. He lowered his voice. “Sir… what are you planning?” 

Charles spoke softly, but with unmistakable resolve. 

“Vivian’s back. But she’s still mad at me. I need time-to prove I love her.” 

When Vivian walked out of the police station after her questioning, she immediately saw Charles waiting on the steps outside. Rain plastered his hair to his forehead, each drop sliding down like ice against his skin.

“I realized it too late. But please… give me a chance to set things right. Let me love you – for real 

this time.” 

Vivian’s lips curled into a faint, quiet smile. She looked him dead in the eye. 

“You’re in love with me?” 

Charles whispered, “Yes.” 

Vivian leaned closer into Northon’s arm. 

“But I stopped loving you a long time ago.” 

“I’ve been living well without you. Happier, even.” 

“Charles Foster, your love isn’t the only love in the world that matters.” 

“What I once longed for now, I wouldn’t take even if it were handed to me.’ 

With that, she turned around and walked away, her steps sure and steady. 

Behind her, Charles’s anguished voice cracked through the air. 

“I don’t believe you!”
