Chapter 44: Arlan Says Goodbye

🔒 This chapter is locked · 20 Quills

Arlan knows coming back to Astina City is madness. He isn't here to reclaim the woman he walked out on without a word; all he wants is her forgiveness. Fate, however, has a twisted sense of timing. Maya now belongs to someone else, and in a week Satria will slip a ring on her finger and lead her down the aisle. Satria sees Arlan as a danger to be removed at any cost, while for Maya every look from him reopens wounds that never closed and stirs up feelings she can't control. Beneath the bitterness of their breakup lies a carefully kept secret: Arlan didn't run because he was guilty. He was threatened into giving up the woman he loved, and Maya has never known. With the wedding fast approaching and the past finally bursting into the open, Maya must make the most painful decision of her life. In the end, losing someone isn't only about them leaving; it's about time robbing you of the chance to tell the truth.
