A Journey from Bitterness to Truth (Matilda and Yvan) novel Chapter 712

Matilda stood there, gazing at Yvan for what felt like an eternity, struggling to believe he was truly alive. That somehow, against all odds, he hadn't perished and had indeed come to her rescue in Australia.

Yet, it was as if he had erased their shared history from his memory.

A wave of sadness washed over Matilda as she recalled her own bout of amnesia. The way Yvan had looked at her then, with eyes full of sorrow, reminded her of a sinner beyond redemption, trapped in the void of their forgotten past.

"It's probably for the best," she thought, her voice barely a whisper, as tears began to shimmer in her eyes under the dim lights of the pub. "We're square now, Yvan."

Forgetting might just be a blessing. Better to never remember the pain they inflicted on each other, the scars that marked their past.

"Let's hit the reset button from the moment you forgot," she said, more to herself than to him. "Our past doesn't matter anymore."

The debt you owed me was cleared the moment you leapt off that cliff.

And whatever I owed you was paid in full the day I took on the responsibility of the Boyd Group.

"It's good to have you back, Yvan."

Your reappearance has ended the long, endless wait of my life.

Feeling a sense of closure, Matilda decided it was time to tidy up her affairs at the Boyd Group and hand over the reins to the man who was meant to have them all along.
