Every day, he lay in the cold hospital room, his mind haunted by the memories of the moments he spent with Narissa, yet he painfully realized that he had always overlooked her and the more he thought about it, the more his heart ached with despair.
In his dreams, he would see her, her face cold as she turned her back on him. In his sleep, he would cry out, “Narissa, don’t go, please don’t leave me.”
He felt like he had died inside. The only time he showed any reaction was when he heard Narissa’s name.
The Kingsley Family hired a psychologist for him, but it was all in vain. Drake refused to
cooperate, and in an attempt to make him feel something, they even brought in someone who
resembled Narissa. But nothing could heal the void in his heart.
He was so enraged that he coughed up blood on the spot, his face filled with panic as he desperately pushed away the women around him. It was because of Liora that Narissa no longer wanted him.
His eyes turned red and he screamed hoarsely, “Get away, leave me alone! I will never do anything to hurt Narissa again! Just leave me!”
is consumed by Two short years felt like decades to him, full of unbearable pain. He was longing and in countless nights, the pain was so intense that he collapsed, still whispering Narissa’s name in his heart.
Then, one day, a photo, taken by chance in a crowd, was posted online, causing an uproar. Countless netizens were shocked.
“Wow, isn’t that Narissa, the daughter of actress Astrid?”
“Oh my God, she’s already this far along, at least seven months pregnant.”
“Ugh, such a beautiful couple. They look so loving!”
Some rushed to urge the photo to be deleted.
“She clearly looks well taken care of! If the Kingsley and Sterling families see this, they’ll never leave her in peace. Please, delete it!”
This comment quickly rose to the top of the comments and the photo was deleted as quickly as possible, but it was already too late.
In the hospital room, Drake looked at the photo his mother had shown him. “I believe you, Mom. This is definitely Narissa.”
This conversation had been repeated countless times over the past two years. Drake had completely fallen into despair and ruin.
His father no longer paid any attention to him, but his mother continued to help him search for Narissa.
Drake had long given up hope, but still, he glanced at the photo. Just one glance and his
He Broke My Heart, Then Begged for Forgiveness
This comment quickly rose to the top of the comments and the photo was deleted as quickly as possible, but it was already too late.
In the hospital room, Drake looked at the photo his mother had shown him. “I believe you, Mom. This is definitely Narissa.”
This conversation had been repeated countless times over the past two years. Drake had completely fallen into despair and ruin.
His father no longer paid any attention to him, but his mother continued to help him search
for Narissa.
Drake had long given up hope, but still, he glanced at the photo. Just one glance and his pupils trembled. He gripped the photo tightly, his heart racing as he recognized the woman in it.
The woman in the photo had a soft, gentle face, her large belly prominent. Beside her, a man
with a gentle expression was supporting her.
The familiar smile and the warmth in her eyes all hit Drake like a bolt of lightning. His pupils
shook violently and his face was filled with disbelief. “Narissa… has a child?”
He was certain it was her, but at that moment, his heart was a mess and he couldn’t bring
himself to believe it. The woman who once vowed to love only him was now carrying someone
else’s child.
Drake’s heart sank, as cold as ice. He had searched for her for so long, how could she do
this to him?
It was revenge. She must have been angry about his affair with Liora, which was why she had stayed away for so long.
Quickly, he forced himself to calm down, repeating in his mind that it would be okay. As long as Narissa was willing to come back, he wouldn’t mind that she had carried someone else’s
child.
He managed to steady his emotions, but the sight of the man in the photo filled him with such intense hatred that it consumed him. “Narissa would never just disappear. This bastard
must have been hiding her for the past two years.”
He couldn’t accept her disappearance and he wouldn’t allow her to leave again. But now, he still needed to rely on the Sterling Family’s influence.
With this thought, he immediately called Evan. “Evan, I’ve found Narissa.”
On the other end, Evan’s face instantly stiffened as he saw the photo. After a moment, he composed himself, hiding his emotions and said to Drake, “The Sterling Family will spare no
effort in finding Narissa.
After hanging up the phone, Evan looked at the man standing beside his sister, his teeth clenched in anger. “Who is this man? If he dares to hurt my sister, he’ll never get away with it.”

After hanging up the phone, Drake was so excited that he quickly tried to get out of bed to find Narissa. But as soon as his feet hit the ground, he immediately collapsed.
Years of neglecting food and relying solely on nutrients had left him in a fragile state. Drake’s mother rushed over to help him, her expression full of sorrow as she assisted him back into bed. “Son, now that she’s finally been found, she won’t be able to escape. But right now, the most important thing is to recover your strength. If Narissa sees you like she’ll be disappointed in you.”

The mention of Narissa’s potential disappointment filled Drake with panic. He shot a furious glance at the man in the photo, whose appearance was nearly perfect and gritted his teeth. He said with determination. “I won’t be worse than this man. I’ll prove it.”
He started eating, obsessively working out and before long, Evan called with a slightly heavy tone. “Drake, the man in the photo is from the Ashford Family.”
A cold glint flashed in Drake’s eyes. “Could it be Dion, the only son of the Ashford Family?” Evan’s voice turned icy. “He’s been living abroad for years. No wonder our people couldn’t find Narissa. She must have been hidden by him.”
Drake’s expression turned dark, his smile cold. “So what if he’s from the Ashford Family? If he dares to hide my fiancée, I’ll make him pay.”
Meanwhile, Narissa and Dion, upon returning to the country, boarded a car heading to the Ashford Family house. As she gazed at the familiar streets, a wave of nostalgia hit her, causing her to momentarily drift in thought.
Two years ago, she had bought a plane ticket and moved abroad, not just to escape the people she once knew, but also to make a fresh start in a new place.
Until she met her boss, Dion, who immediately recognized her identity when he saw her. At that time, the internet was full of news about people searching for her.
She was afraid that Dion might reveal her whereabouts and she pleaded with him. He
smiled gently and assured her, “Don’t worry, I will never expose your identity.”
What Narissa didn’t expect was that Drake and Evan had even offered a reward of billions
to find her. That period became the hardest time of her life, as her privacy was severely violated
and she could barely work.
She had to wear a mask every time she went outside, but she was still recognized. People even camped outside her house, hoping to catch a glimpse of her through video, or worse, try to kidnap her.
During that time, it was Dion who suppressed everything. When she was forced to stay indoors, too scared to go outside, he helped her stay hidden and constantly worried about her
safety.
Then Regard for t
Later, due to the harassment affecting other tenants, the landlord asked her to move out. She was forced to hide and even had to sleep on the streets. It was Dion who found out about
her situation and took her in.
Looking back now, Narissa’s eyes filled with tears. She couldn’t understand why, even after she had left, they still wouldn’t leave her alone and pushed her to such an extent.
If it weren’t for Dion, she might not have made it this far.
Thinking of this, she looked at the man beside her, feeling warmth in her heart. After Drake’s betrayal, she had no intention of marrying anyone. It was Dion who helped her again and again.
He was attentive and gentle, confessing his love to her countless times. Every time he was rejected, he would confess again the next day. She liked him, but deep down, there was more
fear than love.
Because of Drake, Narissa had become afraid of being with anyone. After rejecting Dion, guilt gnawed at her, but Dion remained calm, even smiling gently.
“It’s alright,” he said. “You have the right to refuse me. But, I feel like you like me. So, why don’t you want to be with me?”
At that moment, Narissa couldn’t find the words to respond. Later, when Dion was drunk and hugged her, his voice was filled with an uncharacteristic vulnerability. “Narissa, can you trust me? I know you’ve been let down before, but you can’t make me pay for your past. It’s not fair to
me.”
Her heart shook and she couldn’t find the words. Because of Drake, she had become afraid of emotions and every time Dion confessed, she only felt more fear and retreated further.
After much contemplation, Narissa decided to be with Dion. Even though every day together meant Dion telling her, “I love you,” he never belittled her. Instead, he always encouraged her, saying, “Narissa, don’t let the people who hurt you in the past hold you back. You are amazing, you deserve to be loved and we will be happy together for the rest of our lives.”
In the two years that followed, their relationship grew from colleagues to friends and then to lovers. A few months ago, they married overseas.
Now, with Dion’s child growing inside her, Narissa had completely let go of the past. She had no fear of encountering familiar faces anymore. Whether it was Drake or Evan, neither could affect her any longer.
