The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 508

"We are nothing but acquaintances now. As long as you don't interfere with my freedom, you can do as you please. It's none of my business."

She spoke with such calmness and indifference that he felt like he was a stranger whom she couldn't care less about.

A hint of distress pricked his eyes, causing a dull ache in his heart.

"So, you don't care about me?" He asked.

On hearing it, a tragic smile slowly surfaced on her face. Regardless of why Leopold had left, he was another woman's husband, which was an irrevocable fact.

"Why should I care about another woman’s husband?"

"Aurelia!" He sighed heavily and was suddenly struck by a harsh truth. Even if Aurelia was physically with him, her heart was miles away.

As long as he remained married to Megan, she would never come close to him again.

"I won't let you go, whether you like it. You have to stay by my side and wait for me."

Once she was free, she would fly far away, leaving him behind, and fall into someone else's arms. He couldn't let go, not even a bit.

She looked up at him, her eyes filled with sadness.

"If our destiny has ended, no matter what we do, we're destined to part."

She thought of the Tarot prophecy - self-sacrifice. Would she die? She didn't know.

If there were only one choice left, if she could exchange her life for the safety of her loved ones, she would choose to perish with the enemy.

Leopold cupped her face. "We decide our destiny. No one can stop us."

He had lost her once, and he couldn't bear to lose her again.

Aurelia didn't share his confidence, not just about their fate but also about him.
