A Journey from Bitterness to Truth

Chapter 211

On that fateful day, Matilda walked into her home only to find it hollow, a void left by Chloe’s departure. Now it was just her and Logan, rattling around in the silence.

Whenever Logan’s innocent eyes sought answers about where Chloe had gone, Matilda couldn’t bring herself to utter the painful truth.

She’d simply tell him, ‘It’ll be alright soon,” and Logan would nod, a knowing patience in his gaze as if he understood they were bracing for some impending event.

But that evening, an unexpected knock shattered the calm. The door swung open to reveal Yvan, and Matilda’s world spun for a heartbeat.

“You…” Words failed her, and in a knee–jerk reaction, she tried slamming the door shut. Top late–Yvan’s hand was wedged between the door and the frame!

Matilda inhaled sharply, sure she’d hurt him, but she couldn’t care less. She didn’t want to see Yvan, she wanted him out.

Yvan forced the door open, cradling his injured hand. No sign of pain crossed his chiseled features as he sneered at her, “If I wanted to come in, your flimsy door and a dozen locks wouldn’t stop me,” he said, his voice so cold it sent shivers down Matilda’s spine.
