Loved You Once But He's My Forever

Chapter 536 I'm Giving You Back the Life I Owe You Bang!

In the distance, fireworks suddenly lit up the dark sky above the cemetery, their bright flashes cutting through the heavy, oppressive night. The contrast was almost surreal, as though the scene itself were an unsettling twist of fate.

Tears streamed down my face. As I looked down, I saw the raindrops pouring onto the bloodstained earth where Luke lay.

Luke had died in the relentless downpour.

By the time Carter arrived, I was still holding Luke's lifeless body, unable to stop

my sobs, gasping for breath through the overwhelming sorrow.

Wisteria's body lay farther away. Her eyes remained wide open, staring unblinkingly, as if her last moments had been spent fixated on my face, determined to remember me until the very end.

The maid, perhaps realizing her own fate was sealed, had fled after abandoning Wisteria. She ran down the mountain but was quickly caught by Carter as he made his way up.

Carter saw me from a distance, rushing toward me with urgency. "Chloe ... "

His tall, commanding frame, once impeccably dressed in a tailored suit, was now drenched by the rain, his hair tousled. He couldn't possibly know whether I was injured or just covered in Luke's blood, but he only saw me, trembling and soaked, in the middle of the devastation.

"Chloe, are you hurt?" His voice trembled as he kneeled before me, his hands reaching out to gently touch my face.

In that moment, I realized just what I was clinging to. My voice was thick with tears. "He took the death curse for me... but I'm fine."

Luke's blood had seeped into my wedding dress, but this time, the only difference was that I was still alive.

I held Luke's body close to me, his eyes shut tight, his lips curving into the faintest of smiles, as if he had found peace at last.

"Don't cry," Carter whispered softly. "It was his choice. He was in so much pain in life. Death was his release."

Carter swiftly removed his jacket and draped it over my shoulders, trying to shield me from the cold.
