His chest ached faintly, but the deeper pain lay in his heart.

Back then, Anthena used to smile at him every day and tried every way to make him happy. However, the was now looking at him with nothing but cold indifference.

“Atheny” Michael’s heart ached with bitterness as he struggled to call her name.

His gaze upon Athena was full of pain and disbelief.

If he had shown her the slightest bit of warmth three years ago, she would have been overjoyed. But now, everything had changed. The past was gone,

He looked at her, hurt flashing across his face, but when Athena heard him call her “Athany,” she felt only disgust

When she loved him, he had dismissed her. Now that she no longer did, he chased her like a shadow. How ironic.

Athena stepped down from the carriage without sparing him a glance and walked toward the duke’s estate.

“Athena,” Michael called out, panicked when she ignored him. He stepped forward, ready to block her path.

But Athena suddenly turned around. Her eyes, utterly devoid of warmth, froge high in place.

Michael’s head snapped up to look at her. But all he saw in her eyes was icy coldness, and his heart felt as if it had been torn in two,
