Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO - Chapter 711

Chapter 711: Only two luggage and that’s all?

Mr. Jones stopped in his steps and turned to look back at Arwen.

She shook her head at him, and he paused.

Her gaze shifted to Selene, who stood three with a triumphant smile plastered on her face.

Folding her arms, Selene stepped closer and said, “Arwen, you remember your promise, don’t you?”

Arwen stared directly into her eyes, unblinking, before nodding.

Selene’s smile only deepened. “Great, then what are you waiting for?” She stepped aside, deliberately clearing the path to the staircase. “Go ahead, pack your things, and leave. Fulfil the promise you have made to me. So that we all can move on.”

Aiden’s fingers curled into fists. “Selene, you —”

Before he could finish, Arwen’s voice cut in, steady yet laced with quiet resignation. “Of course, I will keep my word.” And then, she flicked her eyes to Aiden, finding panic flashing in his eyes.

Selene couldn’t have asked for more. Watching everything unfolds just the way she had planned, she was satisfied. “Please don’t delay then. Make it quick so that we all can finally be at ease.”

Arwen turned to her and nodded again. Then, looking at the butler, she said gently, “Mr. Jones, I will need a few people. Can you send them with me?”

Mr. Jones’s brows furrowed in alarm. He stepped forward quickly. “Madam, you are the lady of the house. How could you leave? Sir would be heartbroken. Please reconsider it. It might just be a misunderstanding. As long as you two sit together and talk, this will be solved. Please don’t make such a hasty decision.”

“There is no misunderstanding, Mr. Jones.” Arwen’s smile was faint, her head shaking softly as if she had already made peace with her decision. “I am very sure about what I am doing. Please send someone to help me. I don’t want to delay this any longer.”

And with that, she simply turned away and walked to the staircase, ascending it naturally. Her steps were slow, but steady.

Aiden watched her go. He couldn’t move. Her words froze him —cut him deeper than any blade. Even though he knew he gave her the reason to misinterpret things and misunderstand him, it still broke him when he saw how ready she was to leave him.

As if walking away from him was the simplest and easiest thing for her in the world.

How could she be so cruel?

Yes, she had forgotten their past. Forgotten him. But hadn’t the days they had spent together now meant something to her? Hadn’t she grown even a little attached?

People wouldn’t even leave their dog after petting then for a few months. How did he become worse than that?

The fact that she was willing to give up on him felt like a merciless verdict —a proof that he hadn’t even made a place in her heart where his absence would hurt.

“Sir, please do something,” Mr. Jones urged, his voice trembling with urgency. He looked at Aiden anxiously, almost pleading. “Madam has gone to pack her things. If she leaves the house today, the misunderstanding between you two will only deepen. Please tell her the truth. She may have forgotten you and the past you two once shared, but if you mention it to her, she would believe.”

Aiden closed his eyes briefly. He wished it could be that easy. But —

Selene’s mocking laughter cut through the room —sharp and cruel. She shook her head with theatrical pity. Turning to the butler, she sneered, “Mr. Jones, Aiden won’t dare to do that. You know why?”

The butler’s frown deepened. He detested the gleam of satisfaction in her eyes.

However, Selene basked in her moment, savouring it like victory wine. She didn’t mind a mere butler’s pointed look right now. She believed that when she became the lady of the house, she would have all the time in the world to put these servants in their place.

“I guess, you don’t know,” she went on, her voice dripping with venom. “Let me tell you. He wouldn’t reveal the truth —not because he doesn’t want to. But because doing so would put your precious Madam’s life at risk. And just to keep her close, Aiden wouldn’t dare to gamble with his moon’s life. Am I not right, Aiden?”

Mr. Jones was taken aback, his eyes widening as her words sank in. He didn’t want to believe her, but when he saw how her words made Aiden’s jaws clench, and the storm raged in his eyes —that was enough.

Selene smirked, tilting her head. “See? Even silence can be an answer.”

The heavy stillness filled the room.

Aiden’s voice broke through, low and steady, carrying a weight that made Selene’s mocking laughter falter.

“Selene,” he said, his tone dark as iron, every word cutting with restrained promise. “If you think your tricks have won you anything, believe me —you are not seeing what’s coming your way.”

It was no longer a threat, but a vow —a vow that promised something really darker.

That made Selene swallow; however, she forced herself to keep calm. She knew she had challenged the worst, but she believed that Aiden wouldn’t get very harsh with her. After all, because of her, his mother had stayed alive for months; he couldn’t be cruel to her.

But what she didn’t know was that everything that she had done against Arwen had long written off her merits. Now, he wouldn’t mind even being the cruellest to her.

“Aiden, I am doing all this because I love you. You will realize it —believe me. You will surely realize it one day.”

As Selene said that, she heard steps descending the stairs. She turned to look, only to see Arwen coming down with two people carrying her luggage behind.

“You are done already?” Selene asked as though that took her by surprise. Her gaze darted to look at the two luggage and her lips pressed with sympathy. “What is this? Only two luggage and that’s all? I thought you would have a lot to take away.”

Arwen didn’t respond. She simply came to stand in front of her and stared into her eyes.

Selene waited for a long moment, but when she didn’t see her moving, she asked, “What? Are there more bags coming?” She looked behind her, in the direction of the stairs.

“Nope,” Arwen replied. “Guests doesn’t visit other’s homes with lot of baggages. So, there are only two.”

Selene frowned a little at her words. Something about her tone and the smile Arwen had on her lips didn’t feel right.
