Heartbreak Billionaire: He should never have let go - Chapter 555

Chapter 555:

Millie stared at the necklace. She had never imagined the boy she once met would one day stand before her like this.

Back then, she hadn’t thought much of it. She only wanted to help a struggling young man from the same homeland, speaking the same language.

She reached out and held the pendant.

Myron noticed the emotion in her eyes.

They had been just kids, and their meeting had been brief.

To her, it was a small gesture of kindness. To him, it was everything.

Back then, he saw her and James as his saviors. He had been powerless, but he made himself a promise—he would become strong, and he would learn the truth behind James’ death.

Later, betrayal brought them together again. And the bullet that should have killed him led him to her instead.

“When I returned,” he said, “you were already with Brandon. Married, even. I kept digging into your father’s death, but the truth kept slipping away. I noticed a hidden force behind everything, and I couldn’t get past it. I had to wait for the right moment.”

Many had tried to uncover the truth of James’ death throughout the years. Although Myron had been one of them, he couldn’t risk exposing his link to the Bennett family. That would only bring more danger.

Even now, he confessed his love only in the stillness of the sky.

He had believed that Brandon loved Millie and treated her well, that she would be safe with him. So Myron buried his feelings.

But now, Brandon had let her go.

Now, it was his turn. He would love her fully. Without fear.

A single tear fell from Millie’s cheek, landing on the blue diamond. She looked at the pendant in her hand. After her father’s death and the fall of the Bennett family, she had almost nothing left from her past. This was one of the treasures he once gifted her, which made it all the more special.

“Don’t cry,” Myron said. He reached out, removed her mask, and gently wiped her tears. He cupped her face, looking into her eyes.

“Trust me, Millie,” he said. “We’ll find the truth. We’ll bring the Bennett family back. It’s only a matter of time. Just trust me.”

She stared at him, overwhelmed by emotion.

Then, softly, she asked, “Will you help me put it on?”

“Of course,” he said, taking the necklace from her and fastening it around her neck.

The gemstone settled against her skin, steady and warm. It felt like another heartbeat.

“Where are we going now?” she asked.

“To relive the moments when I loved you,” Myron said. “I want you to know—my love for you isn’t gratitude. It isn’t a way to prove anything. I love you, Millie. Truly. Simply because I love you.”

A magnificent hot air balloon drifted through the navy blue sky, while far below, a sleek luxury car carved its path along winding roads.
