Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO - Chapter 790

Chapter 790: Our destiny would no longer let us separate.

Catrin was taken aback for a moment. Something inside her warned her that it was her last chance to make amends … the last chance to make things right. But she was confused about how she could do that.

Will Arwen forgive her if she stops everything? Will she return to her and be the loving daughter she has always been? Will she let her be the mother she was never to her?

“She won’t.”

Catrin heard that and turned to Selene, who had given her the answer right to her ears. Her brows furrowed, but Selene looked at her evenly as though she was very sure of what she said.

Nodding, Selene repeated what she had said. “She won’t forget and forgive you even if you express your guilt and let her go today. She would blame you and distance herself from you for the entire life. So, decide carefully. Can you let her leave today and accept the punishment she had decided for you? This is your last chance. So … think carefully.”

Selene might not be good at understanding people, but for some reason, she could very well understand how Catrin was thinking about everything. Maybe because they were very alike —they both knew what they wanted and they would do anything to get it.

The creases between Catrin’s brows deepened. She turned to Arwen and asked, “Will you forgive me for everything if I did if I let you go?”

Arwen stared at her. She didn’t speak immediately. She just kept her eyes at her as though trying to believe the woman standing in front of her was her own mother.

“Arwen, I love you. I love you more than you realize. And so, as long as you say that you will forgive me and forget all your resentment towards me … come back to my side and be the loving daughter you have always been, I will —”

“Ms. Davies,” Arwen stopped her halfway, her eyes almost dead. “A glass once broken can’t be fixed as new. And it’s the same when we talk about trust and relationships. No matter what you do now, we can’t go back to how things were. I can’t forget the cruelty you showed me when all I deserved was to be treated with love and understanding. I can never forget that for all these years, you never treated me like a daughter; rather, to you, I have always been the puppet that you tried to control. I can never forget and forgive you. Not even if you inject me with the drug today. We would …” she shook her head, her gaze so firm and resolute that it made Catrin doubt herself, “never go back to where you will have a chance to repair, because some things are simply not meant for repair.”

Catrin flinched at her words. Her heart clenched the way Arwen put her intention so decisively.

Selene clicked her tongue as though she was feeling quite sympathetic. “See, I told you,” Her voice laced with known understanding. “She won’t give you another chance, not until she has all that in her memories. She is quite stubborn to let go.”

Catrin’s fingers clenched. All she wanted was just a chance to fix everything, so that things would return to how they were. Why did Arwen have to be so stubborn? Can’t she see she was regretting it all?

“I would ask you for the last time, Ms. Davies,” Arwen spoke again, her tone not holding any confidence but a fragile hope that Catrin would act a little … just a little like the mother she never was. “Will you let me go?”

Catrin took a step forward toward her, her fingers reaching to brush Arwen’s hair gently. “You didn’t leave me that option, Arwen,” she said softly as though she was the most helpless one in the situation. “I love you and I can’t imagine you hating me for the entire life. So, …” she took in a deep breath. “I need to take this chance today.”

The moment Arwen heard that, her lips curved up in a smile. A smile that didn’t carry any humour but mockery —some for Catrin and the rest for herself. She had known this would happen … that Catrin would never choose anyone but herself, yet even for a slight moment, she expected her to choose her instead.

Hasn’t she been disappointed enough? How did she still carry that small hope in her?

Maybe because she believed her when she said she realized her mistake and wanted to make amends.

But in reality, Catrin never wanted to make amends. She only wanted to reset everything —to rewrite everything in her favor.

Arwen’s smile faded, leaving only a quiet resolve. “I see,” she whispered.

Catrin’s gaze hardened. She reached desperately to explain. “Arwen, don’t consider this wrong. I am just doing what is good. Nothing will happen to you. I am here. Once the drug is injected into your system, you will forget everything painful, and then we will recreate all the good memories together. I wouldn’t disappoint you this time. I will be the mother you always dreamed of. Trust me … just trust me. Will you?”

Arwen no longer had the strength to take her fake, pretentious words. She just turned and looked away. “I am already so disappointed in you that nothing can change now,” she whispered, her voice dull.

Catrin heard her but ignored the resoluteness in them. She was just too sure of herself. She believed that Arwen would accept her back as long as she forgot it all. And that would not be difficult because she had made the arrangements.

“Doctor,” Catrin called out, and the man who had exited before to make arrangements came back. This time, a nurse followed after him.

“Ms. Davies, we can start the procedure,” he said. Catrin turned to him before nodding.

“Please,” she said, taking a step back. “Go ahead. Make sure she forgets all the memories that trouble her. I can’t see her suffering with them.”

The doctor frowned at her words. On the surface, it seemed like Catrin was being a caring mother. He would have mistook her for the same, but then he remembered what the woman was asking him to do, even after being well aware of the risk.

“I will try my best to be careful, but you know the process comes with risk. I already warned you about it,” the doctor said again.

Catrin frowned at her words. A part of her was scared, but she suppressed her fear and nodded back, confidently, “I trust in you. I am sure everything will turn out to be fine.”

Selene’s smirk deepened in satisfaction, finally seeing everything going according to what she planned. Once Arwen forgot it all, forgot Aiden —she was sure she would have the chance to make things turn in her favor. After all, Aiden wouldn’t be a fool to waste another half of his life waiting for the woman who tends to forget him every single time.

Catrin turned to look back at Arwen. Her hand moving to caress her gently. “Arwen, don’t be scared okay. Everything will be fine.”

Arwen didn’t respond. She just closed her eyes and surrendered to her fate. No matter what happens today, she was just sure of one thing —this time she won’t let things repeat. No matter what happens.

‘Ide, I trust in what we share. Our destiny would no longer let us separate. Find me soon. I know you will.’

Arwen told to herself a soft smile of faith curving up her lips. She sensed the movement —movement of Catrin stepping away, and someone else approaching her. She knew it was and what he was about to do. But she didn’t resist, she didn’t struggle. She just remained still as though confident in herself.

Confident in the bond and the trust she shares with Aiden.

A sting pierced her skin, and she flinched a little. But still, she didn’t move.

Selene, on the other side, watched and witnessed everything with satisfaction. Finally … finally, what she wanted was happening. She was about to win.

But just as she would have celebrated, she heard something … something unusual and turned to look back towards the door of the laboratory. The same door from where she had entered and the same way where they knew men were stationed to keep a watch.

Her brows drew in a frown, and Catrin stepped near her, equally confused.

“What’s happening?” she asked, and Selene glanced at her. A deep frown settled between her brows.

“Didn’t you say this place is well hidden?” Selene asked gritting. “And no one would be able to trace it at all.”

Catrin’s brows furrowed deeper. “This place isn’t around the city. It’s a well hidden in the amid the denser forest zone. Of course, it’s not easily traceable. Did you not see it yourself?”

However, Selene’s grit only grew tenser. Her jaws tightened more as she snapped, “If it’s so untraceable, how did someone still appear here?”
