Secret Love (Julia Kang and Shaw)

"The Remains of Summer) Chapter 12

The grand wedding became a grand funeral.

Ethan, numb with grief, stood beside Amelia's coffin, accepting

condolences from the mourners.

"Mr. Carter, our deepest sympathies."

"So sorry for your loss."

"Our thoughts are with you."

Each face reflected shock and pity. Such a perfect couple, torn apart.

The rain poured down as Ethan knelt at Amelia's

grave,

the inscription on

the headstone a fresh stab of pain. He traced her name with trembling fingers,

then leaned forward, embracing the cold stone, his forehead resting against the carved letters.

"I'm sorry, Amelia. I'm so sorry."

Ethan locked himself away, seeking solace in alcohol, hoping to find Amelia

in his drunken dreams.

But she never came.

He tossed aside an empty bottle, letting it roll across the floor. A pale hand picked it up.

"Ethan, why are you drinking so much?"

He looked up, his vision blurry. A white figure stood before him. The shape, the voice..... just like Amelia.

"Amelia?" He scrambled to his feet, pulling the figure into a tight

embrace. Amelia, is it you? You finally came back. I've missed you so much." Chloe gasped, startled by his sudden embrace.

But Ethan didn't seem to notice, burying his face in her hair, murmuring apologies and regrets.

Hearing him whisper Amelia's name, a flicker of hatred crossed Chloe's eyes. Why did he love Amelia so much? Even in death, she haunted him. Couldn't he see her, see their child?

Thinking of the baby, she softened her voice. "Ethan, it's me. Chloe.*

The words jolted Ethan back to reality. He released her abruptly, his eyes clearing, then hardening with disgust and loathing.

He grabbed her throat, his voice a low growl Chloe, you're pushing it." 12:22

He looked at her coldly, all trace of affection gone. "I warned you to stay wway from her

"Why did you provoke her? Those messages... you drove her to kill herself!*

Chloe's eyes widened, then narrowed. She scrambled to her knees, tears streaming down her face. "Ethan, I didn't mean to! I was scared. I didn't want our baby to be labeled a bastard."

"I didn't want that for our child! I know I was wrong. Please, for the baby's

sake, forgive me!"

She sobbed, clinging to his leg, hoping for a flicker of his former compassion.

She'd forgotten that Ethan, ruthless in business, didn't tolerate threats, especially from the woman who'd destroyed the love of his life.

He looked at her, her once alluring face now repulsive. He crouched, tilting

her chin up with his hand, a chilling smile on his face.
