Farewell To My Endless Love

Raina's POV:

I had been waiting for Susan for a long time when she finally called me.

"Have you found out what I asked you to?" I eagerly asked in a low voice.

"Yes. Apparently, Alice takes the twins to the park near the Moore mansion for a walk every morning."

Susan's words lit up a glimmer of hope in my heart.

"Very well. Let's do it on Friday then. That'll be the perfect time to execute our plan as the Moore family gathers on that day."

"I see. I'll have it arranged right away."

"Make sure you don't make any mistake," I warned.

If someone found out what I was planning to do, it would be the end of me.

"Don't worry. Adam's men are not to be underestimated. I assure you, everything will go according to plan. By that time, you can have Charles for yourself."

The call ended shortly after. I was ecstatic. But then again, it was too early for a celebration, so I tried my best to suppress the joy in my heart.

This would be my last and only chance. It was now or never.

A few moments later, I went out of my room to see if Gary was home.

I had lost my freedom ever since he violated me.

And whenever he wanted me, I had to come running to him that instant.

Because of that bastard, I lived in pain and humiliation every single day.

When I walked out of the room, I ran into Sunny, who was about to go down the stairs.

She smiled and greeted me warmly upon seeing me.

"Mom, has Dad gone to work?" I asked tentatively.

"No. He's still downstairs. He's waiting for us, so we could eat breakfast together."

Fear washed over me like a bucket of cold water.

I unconsciously turned around to go back to my room to hide.

"Raina, what's the matter with you? Why do you look so pale? Do you have a fever? Are you not feeling well?" Sunny reached out her hand to feel my temperature. However, I dodged her hand and reassured her, "I'm fine."

Sunny was unmoved. She looked me in the eye and asked, "Why are you acting strange these past few days?"

I forced a smile and reasoned out, "Really? Maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest."

"I see. Anyway, you should go downstairs and have breakfast. Don't keep your father waiting." Sunny held my hand and took me downstairs as she spoke.

I wanted to escape from her grasp and run away. However, I was afraid that Sunny would find out that something was wrong.

Downstairs, Gary was seated at the dining table, eating breakfast.

He looked up at me, and I felt the air freeze for a moment.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

To say that I was scared was an understatement. I was terrified.

My body trembled in dismay as the memory of when he ravaged my body came into my mind.

"Raina, why are you still standing there? Sit down and eat."

Sunny's voice brought me back to my senses. She beckoned me to sit at the table and then asked the servants to bring out my food.

I glanced at her and sighed inwardly.

Sunny was so naive.

The atmosphere at the table was awkward. And yet, she did not seem to notice it.

I was at a loss for words, so I just nodded with a smile.

"Raina, please don't think we're ignoring you. It's just that we've been busy these past few days because of what Liam had done. You can talk to us anytime, though. Just let your father know when you need anything," Sunny advised kindly.

The smile on my face froze.

Little did she know, I wished to leave this place.

I had no intention of talking to Gary. Unfortunately, what I had been dreading had happened.

"Raina, how is the filming going?" Gary asked with feigned concern.

Under the table, he rubbed his foot against my thighs.

Then, he lifted the hem of my dress, exposing my skin. Sadly, there was nothing I could do but endure the embarrassment.

At this moment, I nodded at him in response and answered perfunctorily, "Good. I'm doing a great job in acting."

Gary chuckled and replied meaningfully, "If that's the case, then you should work harder and take part in more movies in the future." My heart sank upon realizing what Gary meant.

I swallowed my fear and changed the topic. "How is Liam doing?"

"How else can he be? He's in that woman's bed day and night. He indeed stopped fooling around other with women though."

Despite what Gary had said, I could hear that he was relieved.

"She must be special considering that she can really make Liam change," I remarked with a sneer.

Gary nodded in agreement and continued eating. And when he was done, he left for the company.

I could not help but breathe a sigh of relief the moment he stepped out of the house.

"Raina, what movie are you shooting recently? Do you want me to arrange assistants and bodyguards for you?" Sunny asked with concern. "No, thanks. I can handle it myself. Enjoy your breakfast, Mom. I have to go now."

In fear that Sunny would keep asking questions, I excused myself and went to my room.

The instant I closed the door of my room behind me, I called Chloe and asked her out.

The two of us met about an hour later.

"Raina, what have you been up to? I've asked you out several times, but you always turn me down," Chloe complained.

"Something happened. As you know, Liam's wedding was a wreck, so there's a hell of a mess we need to deal with," I reasoned out.

Chloe sighed. "Raina, you've changed."

"Chloe, do you think I still have a chance?" If, for instance, I plan on doing something, will you help me?" I asked in a serious tone.

I needed to get close to Charles as soon as possible so that I could get out of the pain and humiliation Gary was giving me.

Chloe nodded without hesitation. "Of

course! Just tell me your plan. I'll

help you however I can." I was overjoyed Now that I was sure that Chloe was aboard, I went straight to the point. "Chloe, I want to talk to Alice. Can you find a way to get rid ofher bodyguards?"

Chloe agreed at once. "That's easy. Don't worry.

I'll handle it."

Charles's POV:

When I returned home after being hospitalized, Grandma was the one who welcomed me.

She looked at me with concern and asked, "Charles, are you feeling better now?"

"I'm much better. There's nothing to worry about," I reassured.

Grandma touched my forehead with the back of her hand to feel my temperature and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Grandma, Caroline will come to our house on Friday evening. Please don't forget to order something she likes. Beef and eggs are her favorite," I said in a low voice.

"Is she really coming? You're not kidding me, are you?" Christine exclaimed.

I nodded with a smile.

This was the moment I had been waiting for.

For the first time, Caroline did not turn down my invitation.

"Has she forgiven you? How could she agree to come to our house?" Grandma asked confusedly. "Mommy and Daddy got along very well in the hospital. As long as

Daddy works harder, Mommel.ne.

forgive him!" James chimed in. He appeared out of thin air. When he spoke, his face was full of joy and excitement.

"That's good to hear. But even though she has agreed to come, you should still work harder, Charles. Scarlett... I mean, Caroline's birthday is coming. Remember to prepare everything in advance. I want everything to be perfect," Grandma advised.

"Don't worry. I will."

When I went to my room, I pondered about what gift I should give to Caroline.

Since she already had everything, I wanted to give her something that she could not refuse.

What could it be?

My gaze fell on the picture frame on the bedside table. I picked it up and stroked Caroline's face with my fingertips Suddenly, what she had said on the phone the other day crossed my mind. At the thought of this, my excitement burst in an instant.
