Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 725:

“Your mother was unbelievably beautiful, like a star I could never reach. Without those tips, I would never have had the nerve to dream of marrying her.”

His voice shook, but his eyes were lost in the memory of those days, filled with beauty.

The moon broke free from the clouds, spilling a silver glow across the floor. Daniela stood, half bathed in light, half swallowed by darkness. The knife gleamed in her hand, blood dripping onto the cold floor.

In a low voice, she asked, “If that was the case, why did you win her over and then fail to cherish her?”

Daniela’s voice was low, as if it came from hell.

Caiden recoiled, his voice quiet and shaky.

“When you care about something too much, you throw yourself into it completely at the beginning, but eventually, it becomes tiring.

Your mother was incredible. Everyone said I was the luckiest man, and at first, I believed it. She never demanded anything from me except my presence. In the beginning, I cherished those carefree days. But as time passed, I began to hear the whispers. My pride was wounded, and I couldn’t find peace. Then I met Katrina. She made me feel a sense of worth I’d never experienced before. I found comfort in that and got caught up in it.”

Daniela’s hand tightened around the cold blade, her grip silent but unyielding.

Caiden’s voice quivered as blood dripped from the chair, staining the floor beneath him.

“I found a sense of fulfillment with Katrina, something I never experienced with your mother. Katrina respected me, put me first, and let me indulge in my every desire without holding back.”

At his words, Daniela let out a bitter laugh. Her voice was cold and sharp, echoing through the empty halls of the villa.noveldrama

She looked down, her gaze dark and intense, before asking, “When you were caught up in your affair, did you ever stop to think about the fact that the self-worth you showed Katrina was built on the honor and status my mother gave you? Without her wealth, do you honestly think Katrina would have even looked at you?”

Caiden quickly looked up, his voice desperate as he tried to explain, “No, no, that’s not true. Katrina always told me she valued me for who I am, not my money. Even if I had nothing, she would still marry me.”

Daniela’s lips curled into a mocking smile, as if she’d heard the funniest joke.

“Is that so? If it were really like that, then why didn’t you come clean to my mother? If you truly loved each other, she wouldn’t have kept holding on. So, tell me, why did she end up jumping off a building?”

Caiden tried to speak several times, but no words came out.

He desperately wished he could prove he had once been deeply loved, but no matter how hard he tried, his mind came up empty.

Finally, it clicked for him, and he looked up at Daniela, speaking desperately, like someone drowning and trying to grab anything to survive.

“Back then, Katrina really…”

“She loved me. She was always careful about contraception because she didn’t want to hurt you emotionally. Even when she left, she regretted not having another child with me.”

Daniela stared at him with an unreadable expression.

Human nature is the easiest thing to break apart. In that moment, Daniela felt as though she was holding a sharp blade, slowly cutting through the illusion that Caiden had worked so hard to maintain.
