Her Love for him was Gone Forever Novel Cover

Her Love for him was Gone Forever

The marriage between Joslyn and Kade was a union of two prominent families in the city, but it also hid her deep, unrequited love. Five years ago, she believed that Kade had lost his sexual function due to a car accident while saving her, so she willingly accepted a platonic marriage. She even continuously invested the profits of the her family into the his family to ease her guilt. It wasn't until a chance encounter that she discovered Kade's affair with his childhood sweetheart, Scarlett, that she realized the so-called "secret illness" was all a lie. Kade had not only fully recovered but had been spiking her drinks with sleeping pills for a long time. Moreover, due to a misunderstanding from when she returned from being taken away by her uncle-mistakenly deemed as being from a "place of ill repute"-he considered her "dirty" and deliberately kept his distance. More cruelly, the car accident back then was not to save her but because Kade was on his way to pick up Scarlett at the airport. The series of betrayals and schemes finally awakened Joslyn. Under constant threat from Kade and Scarlett, she faced numerous dangers-from being pushed in front of a knife, undergoing skin grafts, to nearly falling off a cliff due to tampered brakes. Ultimately, she decided to sever ties with the past and, with her uncle's assistance, went abroad. Overseas, Joslyn found her true self, pursued a PhD in finance, and took over her family business. Unexpectedly, she encountered Kade again while dealing with gangsters. Kade, now truly remorseful, did everything to protect her from the gang, even sacrificing the his family's interests, yet it couldn't undo the past wounds. Meanwhile, Kade's half-brother, Nicolas, allied with Scarlett to disrupt the family inheritance. In the end, both Nicolas and Kade perished in an explosion. Years later, Joslyn became a CEO. She let go of past love and hatred, established a foundation to support African communities in accordance with Kade's last wish, and shifted her life's focus to greater love and responsibility, embarking on a new chapter truly her own.

Chapter 6

Scarlett's words stirred Joslyn's painful memories and completely enraged her.

"Scarlett, you're courting death!"

Joslyn charged forward and grabbed Scarlett's hair with all her strength. She landed punch after punch.

One, two, three...

Scarlett struggled desperately and tried to escape Joslyn's punches.

But at that moment, Joslyn was like a trapped beast in a cage. She was driven to madness.

In the chaos, she gave a fierce shove, and Scarlett, like a leaf caught in a storm, fell from the third floor.

Behind the Lloyd family's mansion was a vast ocean.

With the tremendous splash and cries for help from Scarlett, everyone in the mansion was alarmed and rushed over.

Another loud splash followed. Kade jumped in after Scarlett.

Yet, Joslyn had no time for sorrow. She quickly ran downstairs to the seashore.

Fortunately, the amulet of the necklace was still there.

After Joslyn got the amulet, she drove away immediately.

She was aware that Scarlett was important to Kade. Joslyn had pushed Scarlett into the sea, so Joslyn feared that Kade would not let go of her and might even retaliate fiercely.

There was only one day left before her departure. She couldn't afford any mishaps at that critical moment.

Joslyn sped all the way to the airport and spent a nervous night.

When the first ray of sunlight pierced the horizon, Joslyn finally relaxed her tense nerves.

Just as she was about to board the plane, following the flight information Davin had sent her, she suddenly felt a dull pain at the back of her head.

Her legs gave way, and then she lost consciousness.

When she awoke again, the deafening roar of an airplane filled her ears.

Below her was a vast chasm.

Joslyn found her hands bound, suspended from a helicopter by a single rope.

She had a severe fear of heights.

Just one glance downward sent cold sweat pouring over her body. Her head spun with dizziness, and she almost fainted again.

"Joslyn, don't you like bullying Scarlett? I'll let you taste what it's like to be bullied today." A male voice reached her ears from above.

She tried to look up but could only make out a masked figure standing on the aircraft. He was looking down at her.

Even without seeing his face, Joslyn recognized him instantly through his cold gaze.

It was Kade.

He was seeking revenge for Scarlett.

Before Joslyn could react, the helicopter began a rapid vertical dive.

Joslyn was buffeted by the powerful air currents and swung wildly in the air.

She lost consciousness repeatedly-only to be yanked back into awareness each time, forced to endure the terror anew.

In her hazy state, Joslyn vaguely recalled a time when she and Kade went to an amusement park and rode a pirate ship.

Her fear of heights had caused her to faint.

Kade was so frightened that he nearly fainted as well.

Back then, Kade had sworn that he would never let her experience such pain again.

But time changed, and so did he.

Every pain after they got married was brought on by him.

Finally, the helicopter hovered over a vast blue sea.

When it reached a certain height, the rope around her waist was suddenly cut.

"Joslyn, this is the price for what you did to Scarlett."

"Bang!"

Joslyn was plunged straight into the sea.

Seawater rushed into her nose from all sides.

Her hands were tied, and she could only watch in terror as she sank deeper into the sea.

Time ticked by. Joslyn suffocated and gradually stopped struggling.

Just as she thought she would be trapped and die in the sea, the roar of an engine came from the sky once more.

In the next moment, Joslyn was pulled out of the sea and onto a plane.

"Joslyn, we are sorry to be late. Davin sent us the moment he realized you hadn't boarded the plane on time."

Several bodyguards dressed in black quickly helped Joslyn change into dry clothes.

It took a while for Joslyn to recover from the despair of near-death.

The plane headed for another country.

Joslyn leaned over and took a long, last look at the land below.

But suddenly, she raised her hand to stop the plane.

If she left in such humiliation, it would be too easy on Kade.

With a playful smirk, Joslyn issued some instructions, and the plane took off again.

Soon, a massive explosion occurred at the largest fireworks factory of the Lloyd Group. It erupted in a brilliant display of fireworks across the sky.

That was Joslyn's final gift to Kade.

Everyone in the city paused to admire the grand spectacle.

At last, Kade noticed the noise.

He frowned and looked up. His expression changed dramatically after just a glance.

There was a farewell message crafted from fireworks. "Kade, let's never meet again."
