Chapter 531 Found Her
Then, after she resolutely jumped off the cliff, I woke up drenched in sweat.
Then, I continued to guard the hopeless darkness, enduring one dusk after another.
On the seventy-fifth day, the door of the house finally opened.
I walked out the door and found that this was the neighborhood where Mia and I lived.
During the days we couldn't see each other, we were never more than five hundred feet apart.
My mom was really heartless.
All I had to do was look up, and I could see the pomegranate tree planted in our yard.
Covered in wounds, I stumbled and ran over, shouting, "Mia, Mia, I'm back. Where are you, Mia, I'm back."
But the large house was as clean as ever, and my footsteps echoed like thunder in the emptiness.
Everything, the exquisite clothes, the expensive jewelry, the sets of high-end cosmetics, were all in their original places.
Nothing was missing, except Mia.
Mia was gone!
The moment that thought appeared, I went crazy.
I knelt in the middle of the room, crying uncontrollably.
I regretted it. I shouldn't have let my family threaten me. I shouldn't have left Mia to face difficulties alone.
I deserved to die.
My mom gave me back my phone and disdainfully said, "See, I told you, you have to marry someone of equal status. It was only three hundred thousand dollars, and she took it and left without even looking back."
I looked at the account that received the transfer, and my heart cried.
That account was one we opened together, and I could recite it backward.
The account my mom transferred to was one digit off from Mia's account; she sent it to the wrong person.
My mom transferred three hundred thousand dollars to someone else, who accepted it and even called her a fool for giving away money for free.
My Mia, she stayed with me for five years, treated me so well, even broke with her family for me, and in the end, she left silently with just the luggage she came with.
She gave me the best love for five years, and I used those five years to make her lose everything.
She must have been heartbroken by me.
That's why she left so decisively.
She didn't want me anymore. This time she really didn't want me.
My heart had never hurt like this.
I wished I could take my heart out, rub it, wash it, so it wouldn't be so bitter, so painful.
But it's too late for everything.
I went crazy, using all my strength to find her.
I put all my money into her account.
She left, taking only her own things. She didn't take anything I gave her; she didn't want any of it.
She didn't even want me, so why would she care about those things?
She never cared.
I've changed. I hate everyone now—my parents, Maeve, everyone who maintains relationships for power and status. I hate them all.
My parents tried to persuade me, but I was unmoved.
I hated them so much. If it weren't for their interference, Mia and I wouldn't have separated.
If they weren't my parents, I thought I would have killed them, making them pay for my lost love.
Maeve tried to persuade me, walking around with her pregnant belly, showing me the 4D ultrasound of our baby, telling me our child looked beautiful.
I wasn't interested and kicked her out of the house.
Friends came, one by one, either sighing or drinking with me.
Because they didn't know how to persuade me.
The money I sent to Mia's account was quickly returned because the account was canceled.
I called her number, but it had been disconnected.
I secretly went to her hometown to find her. Her elderly parents were waiting in the yard, hoping for her return day and night.
I lost Mia. I didn't even have a single piece of news about her.
I lost interest in everything, didn't want to manage the company, and was drunk all day.
Then, my uncle came.
He sat down and drank with me all night, telling me about his mother and the hardships he endured alone for years.
"Everyone has their fate. When you choose some things, you inevitably lose others. Just like when you chose to fight for the family business, you lost yourself. Benjamin, pull yourself together and fight me properly. Because you can't have nothing."
I pulled myself together, burying everything about Mia in my heart. I fought fiercely during the day and thought of Mia at night as I fell asleep.
I lived like a zombie, without emotions.
The Bailey family came to force a marriage, saying the child couldn't be born without parents, and our child couldn't be illegitimate.
I agreed.
If it's not Mia, it doesn't matter who I marry.
On the day of the engagement, I held the only thing Mia left behind, a pillow she sewed for me, and cried uncontrollably.
I hadn't seen my Mia for almost five months. It felt like she had become part of my bones and blood, merging with me.
Even if I got engaged to someone else, the one I loved most in my heart was still Mia, and only her.
Mia, my darling, I miss you so much!
That morning, I got up, endured the headache from the hangover, took a shower, and came out. My phone rang.
I opened it and saw a post from someone I hadn't contacted in a long time, which instantly lifted my spirits and filled me with joy.
The background of the picture was a residential area, with thick water on the ground, the weather gloomy and rainy.
A girl was lying on a boy's back, holding an umbrella with one hand and wrapping her other arm around the boy's neck.
Tears wet my cheeks.
Even with just a simple background, even though she was wearing clothes I had never seen before.
I recognized her at a glance. That was Mia, my love.
I missed the board meeting and flew over to find her without hesitation.
On the way, I kept slapping myself. I searched so many places, why didn't I think of Jane?
She was Mia's best friend, and her boyfriend was the excellent Brad from the Northern Institute of the Arts.
Jane might not be able to help, but Brad certainly could.
I called Brad and asked if Mia was in Regalia. I was going to find her.
Brad was silent for a moment, then told me Mia was indeed there and asked me to be prepared for an outcome I might not want.
Of course, I knew the outcome wouldn't be what I wanted, and it might even break my heart.
But even so, I had to find her. I wanted to win her back.
If she could forgive me, this time, I would give up everything and wander the world with her.
I found her.
She was facing the sunset, her face full of gentle smiles, just like in my memories.
At that moment, I was truly very happy.
