Chapter 124: ~Hellbound~

"Yeah, my girlfriend was really into him," added another, the tone of their conversation changing from idle gossip to a more somber tone.

I couldn’t help but feel a surge of empowernt as I walked out of the room, making my exit with a final statent. "There are a lot of males like you who harass and then bla the girls." My words were a stark reminder that the burden of responsibility lay with those who perpetuated harm, not the victims.

Ron, his face contorted with frustration and anger, bit his lower lip and clenched his teeth. The reality of his actions, the weight of his transgressions, had co crashing down on him. He was now forced to confront the consequences of his behavior and the unmasking of his true character.

"Are you guys done seeing?" Ron remarked, his voice tinged with irritation as he looked around at the now-silent onlookers. The room, once filled with gossip and speculation, had transford into a space where truth and accountability took center stage.

As my classes ca to an end, I stepped out into the bustling university campus, joining Eva in conversation. We discussed various topics, our words andering through the complexities of our lives, much like the paths we walked together.

Then, as we spoke, Eva’s gentle words interrupted our conversation. "I think your husband has co to pick you up, Elena," she remarked, her eyes directed toward the entrance gate.

I followed her gaze and found Derek waiting there, his car poised for our departure. My initial response was a blink, a montary lapse in my thoughts, followed by a faint smile as my eyes t his. Derek returned my smile, and in that fleeting mont, it was clear that his care for

transcended words.

"He really cares about you, dear," Eva observed, her voice filled with warmth and understanding.

I nodded slightly, acknowledging the depth of Derek’s affection. It was a love unlike any other, one that had gradually woven its way into my life, leaving

with a profound sense of appreciation for his unwavering support.

Eva, her voice filled with empathy, offered her support. "Accept him as your husband, Elena. I know it is not easy to forget Paul for him. I know you love Paul unconditionally, but as everything has changed, accept it."

I took Eva’s hand, her touch a source of strength in that mont, and I drew in a deep breath. "Eva, I need a bit more ti," I admitted, my voice tinged with vulnerability. The reality of my situation weighed heavily on my heart. "I know I have no other option left. The way Derek loves , it is not easy to not accept his love."

Eva’s understanding nod conveyed her unwavering support. She knew the depths of my inner conflict, the battle between my past and my future, between Paul and Derek. As I grappled with the choices before , I felt a sense of gratitude for the friend who stood by my side, offering guidance and encouragent.

With a final, reassuring squeeze of my hand, Eva urged

to go. "He is waiting," she said, her words laced with kindness and encouragent.

I walked away from Eva, leaving behind her support and wisdom, and made my way toward Derek, who stood beside his car. He opened the car door for , a chivalrous gesture that never ceased to make

smile. With a warm expression, I entered the car, and Derek followed, taking his place beside .

The car roared to life as Derek started the engine, and I couldn’t help but feel a sense of calm and comfort settling over

in his presence.

As we embarked on our path, Derek initiated a conversation about my day at college. He showed genuine interest in my life, a fact that never ceased to amaze . I replied with a smile, sharing the highlights of my day and my interactions with Eva.

Then, in the midst of our casual exchange, I couldn’t help but ask a question that had been lingering in my mind. "You didn’t have to co to pick

up," I remarked, my voice tinged with a sense of gratitude and curiosity.

Derek’s response was unexpected, a sudden inquiry that caught

off guard. "Why? Don’t you like

to co?" he asked, his eyes fixed on , awaiting my response.

I hesitated for a mont, my words escaping

as I grappled with the implications of my question. "I...I did not an it, Mr. Derek," I stamred, my cheeks warming with embarrassnt.

Derek, however, was not one to let the matter rest. He pressed further, his voice carrying a playful undertone. "Then?" he inquired with a knowing smirk, as if he could sense there was more to my hesitance.

I lowered my head, my words barely audible as I spoke the truth. "You must be exhausted, that’s why I said," I admitted, my voice filled with concern for him.

In response, I felt the gentle brush of Derek’s fingers ruffling my hair, a tender gesture that sent a shiver down my spine. He leaned in closer and whispered, his words a gentle caress against my ear. "For my wife, I will never be exhausted."

My ears burned with a deep blush, and I pressed my lips together, overwheld by the love and devotion in Derek’s words.

"You... You should drive carefully," I stamred.

In that mont, words felt inadequate, and I chose to express my emotions through a simple nod.

Derek’s chuckle filled the car, a warm and reassuring sound that accompanied us on our journey back to the mansion. He withdrew his hand from my hair, focusing on the task of driving. The weight of unspoken words hung in the air, a testant to the connection we shared, one that allowed for silent monts of understanding.

Upon our return to the mansion, I led the way inside, with Derek following closely behind. As we entered the grand corridor, my attention was drawn to a young maid carrying a tray of food. She greeted

with a respectful "Good noon, ma’am."
