Unbreakable Love His Passion for Her Transcends Death by Beanie Gold

Chapter 7

At Dewberry Manor, Xavier lounged on the living room couch after returning home and didn't bother turning on the lights.

He was so worn out that he massaged his temples while resting. Yet, his eyes soon snapped wide open as he abruptly woke from his sleep.

It was odd because he'd had another nightmare. Not to mention, it was about Yvette.

He couldn't believe he had dreamt about Yvette dying and that it had felt so real. When he looked at his phone, he realized it was only 4:00 am.

It was the end of their cool-off period, and they agreed to finalize their divorce together today.

Xavier couldn't help but text Yvette. "Don't forget that we're finalizing our divorce today."

Yvette was on the brink of losing her consciousness when she received that text.

Even so, she forced herself to send a voice message in response. "Sorry, I might not make it... But don't worry. We'll definitely get a divorce." Her death naturally meant their marriage would no longer be in effect.

Xavier inexplicably exhaled in relief while listening to

Yvette's voice message. He had known it. How could Yvette be dead? He believed that she wouldn't be willing to end her life or their marriage.

With that thought, he called her

For the past few years, Yvette had seldom received calls from Xavier. He had always been straightforward and never beaten around the bush. So, he had rarely called her and had only texted. Yvette answered the ell, but Xavier's frosty tone rang out before she could speak.

He said, "My patience is limited, Yvette. You're the one who wanted a divorce.

"Do you regret our marriage because I didn't give you money? I bet 300 million dollars isn't possibly enough to satisfy you into marrying someone new."

Yvette's throat constricted, and she could no longer hear what else he had to say.

Ultimately, she refused to admit to things she had never done. She willed her last bit of strength to say, "I never cared about y-your money throughout my m-marriage to you, Xav! "A-Also, I'm n-not divorcing you because of money! Y-You might not b-believe this, but I still w-want to say it. I didn't k -know about my mother and brother breaking the contract b -back then... "I-I won't marry anyone for 300 million dollars e-either!"

She stuttered a lot.

Xavier could hear the intense wind and rain from her end of the call. "Where are you now?"

Yvette couldn't hear him anymore. Instead, she held her

"I-If I had known that y-you had always loved D-Daphne, I- I wouldn't have married you either...

"I-If I had known th my dad would get into a car accident on o-our wedding day, i wouldn't have m-married you!"

She repeated the phrase, "wouldn't have married you."

Xavier could tell how aggrieved she had felt all these years from the way she spoke. Likewise, he detected how much she regretted marrying him.

All at once, he felt like something had lodged at the back of his throat, and he could barely breathe.

"What right do you have to regret our marriage? Weren't you the one who cried and begged to marry me back then?" Shockingly, his deep voice was a little hoarse. Meanwhile, Yvette's voice grew softer, so much so that Xavier could barely hear her anymore. He yelled, "Yvette! Where are you now?"

Yvette didn't answer him.
