Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right by Rosie Steppe

Chapter 901

When Keira first learned that Jace had entered the Carthusian monastery, she didn’t understand. She even thought he was doing it for Abbot Levinsky or because he had become disillusioned with life after the family turmoil.

Only now did she realize he knew his time was limited. He had gone there to spend the remainder of his days in peace.

Jace lived his life with pride and abandon. He had stood at the pinnacle, admired by all, and had also fallen from grace when love led him astray. He had once gone to extremes to win her back and later turned against his own brother to protect her.

No matter how much it hurt, no matter how much she missed him, he was gone.

When Gavin arrived and learned of Jace’s passing, tears streamed down his face. Then, in a sudden outburst, he slapped himself twice. “It’s all my fault. How could I not have noticed something was wrong with him?”

“Yesterday, he called me,” Gavin choked out, his voice thick with emotion. “He gave me instructions about a few things and asked me to come see him today.”

Even to Gavin, he hadn’t mentioned a word about leaving. He didn’t want anyone to worry about him. Not even Keira.

He left no letters for her, no lingering words.

Or maybe, he didn’t want to leave her with anything that could become a burden.
