As I stood with Ryan at the hotel’s entrance, I spotted them from afar. He was holding James’s hand on the opposite side of the
street
James struggled to break free and run to me, but Willams held on to him tightly.
His eyes were filled with tears, and he started crying when his gaze met mine.
I calmly looked away with a gentle smile.
Unlike the time I married Williams, I was smiling from the bottom of my heart.
Epilogue
After the divorce, Williams struggled with insomnia for a long time.
He would be too afraid to close his eyes. Whenever he did, he would see Christelle.
He also avoided going home because the living room still had signs of the fire. He hated himself when he stepped inside.
He hated himself for choosing Leia back then.
Some time later, he started to loathe Leia and James too.
If James had not begged him to save Leia first, maybe Christelle would not have left.
He finally realized that he loved Christelle, but it was too late
As for Leia, she was merely a decision he regretted from his younger days.
15 BONU
So, when Lela asked if he wanted to get married, he refused without a second thought.
Lela teared up and asked him why. But he only stared at her with hatred and spoke through gritted teeth. “Because you can’t
compare to Christelle!”
James cried and begged Williams several times to find his mom.
However, Williams would glare at him each time and say, “Your mom doesn’t want you anymore. She already has a new child.
You mean nothing to her!”
He watched impassively as James cried to the point of almost passing out. He had no compassion left.
If it were not for James, Christelle would not have given up and left.
James hated Williams just as much, and this hatred grew as he got older.
Eventually, they stopped talking to each other.
On the day of Christelle’s wedding, Williams brought James to the venue.
As they stood on the opposite side of the street, he saw her smiling and found closure.
She looked happy, and she had a stunning smile.
She had smiled at him the same way when they first got married.
At that time, Williams thought that she would always be by his side.
Hence, he ended up hurting her continuously.
He had lost her and had no one else to blame but himself.
Willams watched as Christelle and Ryan held hands and disappeared from his sight.
He crouched down and cried uncontrollably as he buried his head in his hands.
Regret and sorrow overwhelmed him, but what else could he do?
It was the end for him and Christelle.
