Heartstrings on Fire novel Chapter 513

Over the years, Jared had imagined a ton of possible outcomes.

He'd thought about Agnes leaving his world, hiding away in some corner.

He'd also considered that she might have a child in silence, like some soap opera plotline, struggling to raise it on her own.

But he'd never imagined that she'd fall in love with someone else, marry them, have their child, and start a new life.

It wasn’t that he hadn't thought about it, but rather that he was too afraid to. He'd clung to a sliver of hope that Agnes wouldn't forget about him.

No matter what their past relationship was like, at the very least, the things they'd experienced together were deeply ingrained in him.

He can't easily let go, and he can't easily start over. Every day was spent in agony and struggle for him.

If she had an ounce of conscience, if she could feel even a fraction of his pain, Jared believed that she would never be with another man.

But now, he realized he was wrong. Dead wrong.

That woman was utterly ruthless!

Jared's face was as dark as a thundercloud.

He felt his world shattering, crumbling to pieces.

That tiny shred of hope that had kept him going for the past four years was utterly obliterated in an instant.

His world had no sunlight, no color, only darkness.

Jared stood there, speechless, feeling a crushing pain in his chest.

Over and over, it felt like someone was cutting into his flesh with a knife.

His fingers clenched so hard that they were practically crushing each other, and he could even hear the creak of his own bones.

Leo, not far off, could only watch this scene unfold.

He felt like the sky was falling.

He'd never seen the boss wear such a terrifying expression in his life.

It felt like his gaze alone could snuff out all signs of life.

How could he not recognize that woman?
