bunny. Yet, even seeing her in a state like this, Luke et a fresh geof destre


    Enke caressed Vespera''s face and said, "Let''s go somewhere else."


    However, she pped him hard across the face. With a trembling voice filled with anger, she eximed, "You''re a shameless bastard. I must have been blind to ever be with you!"


    If only shellen back in time, she would''ve put an end to their rtionship the day it had sprouted


    Rage filled Luke''s eyes, and each word she uttered ignited a new spark of anger in him. "Are you regretting being with me now? Well, that''s a bit toote. You''re already mine, and as long as I keep you here with me, you can never leave!"


    How can you be so heartless you cheated on me! You neglected me! You hurt me! So, why the hell do you still want to torment me? Vespera yelled.


    Her emotions fell into disarray. The weight of everything she had endured utterly shattered her to peers.


    Tears spilled down her checks, relentless and unchecked, as if they had a will of their own.


    They had fought against all odds to get married, but now, they were lighting more than ever to have a divorce


    Shewx.exhastal


    What sins had shemitted in her past life to deserve a life like this?


    "Don''t cry Darling please, don''t cry. It''s all my tank." A sharp pain stabbed through his chest, and it felt like someone had driven a knife into his heart. "I deserve to die. I was bewitched. I never wanted to torment you. I just don''t want you to leave."


    Vespera suddenly fell silent.


    She looked at him with teary eyes. Perhaps it was the overwhelming emotions, or maybe the eerie silence of the mountains had messed with her mind, but all she knew was that she waspletely exhausted, frustrated, and even hopeless. "Would you only stop if I de?"


    Luke was momentarily lost for words.


    His hand hovered by her cheek as he stared at her.


    Hecouldn''t find the right answer.


    From the moment he gave in to Tina''s temptation and took that first wrong step, their fate had been sealed, Like a domino castle, painstakingly built yet destined to copse the see and the first plece was pushed, their marriage was always meant to end in ruins.


    The situation called for noprehension, everything was beyond a catastrophe.


    The two of them sat in silence, staring at each other for a long time. Neither spoke a single word, it was as if all their energy had been drained


    At some point, Vespera finally broke the silence by saying, "I''m hungry. I want to eat something"


    Still weighed down by his emotions, Luke responded, "I''ll go get you something"


    But as he was ready to step out of the car, he realized the harsh reality of their situation. They were in a deste location with nowhere to buy food. Even worse, their car was totally out of gas to drive them anywhere.


    ven if I wanted to


    Vespera noticed his hesitation and said, "My leg hasn''t fully healed, and you''ve made it worse just now. I can''t run even if


    Luke never gave any funher exnation "Il look around and see if there''s a convenience store nearby, just stay in the car and wait for me."


    She barely had the strength to respond anymore, so she faintly muttered a simple "Okay."


    Luke got out of the car and locked the door behind him. Navigating the map on his phone, he found that the nearest convience store was about a half-hour walk away.


    He searched for a contact number, hoping they would have a delivery service. Unfortunately, after scrolling for a while, he found nothing


    Delivery services were out of the question, everything was far beyond their range.


    The only option why the convenience store he had just found.


    At the very least, he konw everything was his fault, so he had no right toin.


    Vespeca watched han disappear into the distance. As soon as he was out of sight, she crawled to the back seat, folded down the rear seats, and crawled into the trunk to escape using the emergency release.


    Her wound had indeed been presard, but wasn''t that serious. Aside from not being able to run, she could walk just line


    She went in the opposite direction as quickly as she could, and about 20 minutester, the pain in her leg began to re up if she kept going, the wound might reopen, and there was a possibility she wouldn''t be able to walk anymore.


    She nced up the mountain beside her.


    Maybe she should hate there for awhile?


    She had been sharing her location with Reba all along. There was a good chance she was already nearby


    With that in mind, she slowly made her way up the hill, choosing a dense patch of vegetation to hide in. Again, the pinged her location to Reba and ced a call to her


    ba, on the other end, did a quick estimation and predicted she could reach in about 15 minutes. In the meantime, she instructed her to stay put and not wander away.


    Upon hanging up, Vespera wrapped her arms around her knees and looked up, slowly losing herself in the sky full of stars.


    The darkness wound her fellendless.


    A mixture of bittemess, wrath, and a little absurdity settled within her as she sighed quietly. Approximatelyben minutester, the sound of footsteps slowly made their way close to her. Sheened up immediately, knowing that Reba couldn''t possibly have arrived thatt So, who on earth could that person be?
