Chapter118.
Aers
Caitlyn was roughly hauled into the car by her assistant, while Leland personally secured her within the villa he had purchased for her.
This time, he recognized his grave mistake, yet he still clung to the belief that his beloved little princess would forgive him.
She loved him so deeply; she would undoubtedly forgive him.
The moment Leland departed from the villa, he immediately began calling Kaylie, but her phone remained off.
A wave of anxiety washed over Leland, propelling him into his car.
He shouldn’t have been swayed by those pampered, wealthy heirs into making such a critical error. He shouldn’t have cheated on Kaylie with Caitlyn for mere thrills. He shouldn’t have yielded to temptation and betrayed the love he had for Kaylie.
Leland was consumed by regret. He had believed the terminal cancer diagnosis from the hospital, convinced he had only a month left to live.
What had he done to inspire Kaylie to stay strong and brave as she sought to reclaim her family’s assets?
Leland bit down hard on his finger, the pain mirroring the deep remorse that drove him to slap himself twice.
He couldn’t help but ask himself, “Since learning of my cancer at the hospital, how had I treated Kaylie?”
Kaylie’s heart was pure, yet he had repeatedly wounded her, even forcing her to reside in the basement.
Fueled by anger and a shattered heart, Kaylie had endured so much, yet she had ultimately, tearfully, signed the property transfer agreement. She had suffered time and again, forced to consent, left with nothing. What had Leland possibly done?
Leland’s hands trembled fiercely at the wheel. A deep, gnawing sadness consumed him as he recalled the cruelty he’d shown Kaylie, entangled with Caitlyn, all while knowing he faced a terminal illness.
He remembered their solemn promise:”If I ever betray Kaylie, I will live alone and lonely for the rest of
my life.”
Terror seized him. He slammed his foot on the accelerator, the car lurching forward, a desperate need to reach Kaylie consuming him.
