Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640: Don’t go back on your words when the time comes.

"Arwen, believe it or not —you are nothing, but just a substitute in his life."

Those words from Selene made Arwen turn to look at her.

Selene’s gaze also remained fixed on her. Looking empathetic, she continued, "I never wanted to spit that cruel part of reality in front of you, Arwen, but sorry ... sorry I couldn’t take this any longer."

She turned to face her. "No matter how harsh this is but this is the truth. The truth that you would have known sooner or later. The truth is that even though you married Aiden ... even though you are his wife, you are nothing but a substitute in his life. My substitute. A stand-in he found just to fill the void that I left behind."

She wanted to see Arwen shatter after hearing that; however, all she saw was the clarity in her gaze. As if she hadn’t just heard the thing that could change the entire synopsis of the story.

"I know this is hard to believe," Selene spoke again, believing that Arwen was just trying to hide her emotions. No worries, as long as she believes it, she will win the game. And a win is all that matters. She smirked internally, continuing, "But this is the truth. And I will make you see it in every walking moment."

"Every walking moment?" Arwen asked suddenly, sounding intrigued.

Selene smiled with mock sympathy in her gaze. "Have you taken a close look in the mirror?" she asked, only to deepen her smile further. "If you had, then you could have seen how similar we look. Almost like a look-alike."

"From our eye colour to how our hair looks —one could easily misinterpret us to be sisters. However, we aren’t sisters. We don’t even share the same family tree. So, what else could we be? What else could you be?"

She didn’t make it verbally obvious, but the meaning was clear. She was calling Arwen her look-alike. Her stand-in.

Arwen didn’t flare; she didn’t react. She simply listened to her and watched as if she were dwelling on whatever Selene was telling her.

And that was exactly what Selene wanted —for Arwen to start seeing things from her perspective. As long as she looks at it from her view, she would make her believe that she is nothing but a mere stand-in —one who was never meant to be permanent.

"Fine," Arwen said after a long moment.

Selene didn’t understand. Her brows furrowed as she asked, "What do you mean by that?"

Arwen stared at her as if what she meant was pretty obvious. "I meant that fine, I will give you the chance you are seeking. Don’t you want to prove to me that I am nothing but a mere substitute, that Aiden found to fill the void that you once left behind?"

Selene frowned.

"I am giving that chance to you," She gestured a hand out in her direction. "Make me see how I am your substitute, and just what all similarities do we share?"

"You believe me?" Selene asked, already feeling victorious inside.

"..." Arwen didn’t respond.

And Selene took it as a yes. Even if Arwen hasn’t believed it, she sure has instilled the seed of doubt in her heart. If not, why else would Arwen give her the chance to prove?
