?<strong>Chapter 734:</strong>


    Caden and Ynda’s trip to Terrnd had be the talk of the town.


    The night before, while Caden and Alicia were talking on the phone, the doorbell rang, and he abruptly ended the call. Alicia suspected it might have been Ynda. She spent the night filled with anxious anticipation, her emotions unraveling with the sight of a lipstick mark.


    Caden peered into her eyes and asked, “If I said no, would you believe me?”


    Alicia stood frozen.


    “Caden, are you trying to retaliate against me?”


    Caden shook his head.


    “You see a lipstick mark and immediately jump to the conclusion that I was with Ynda. Did you ever stop to consider my side?” He asked her, “While I was away, why were you meeting with ke behind my back?”


    Alicia felt as if her heart were being ripped to shreds beneath his gaze. Her pale face, contrasted with her tear-reddened eyes, made her appear even more woeful and subdued.

    “You’ve always suspected something was going on between ke and me,” Alicia said with a sad smile.


    “You’re only concerned about your image, thinking I’m tainted and discarding me like old news. Did you ever think about what I’ve been throughtely? I was pped by your uncle, humiliated in countless videos, yet I still tried to prove my innocence to calm your fears. But what did you do? You never stood up for me or tried to dispel the rumors. Instead, you traveled with the person who’s been plotting against me. You left me here alone in this cold apartment to suffer!”


    Alicia’s voice broke as she cried, tears streaming down her face, her pain evident despite her efforts to stayposed. She struggled for breath, her body shaking uncontrobly.


    “What did I do to deserve this? Aren’t I the one who’s…”


    been wronged? Caden, I’m your fiancée. Why don’t you care about me?”


    Caden saw her fragile demeanor, and it pained him deeply, his eyes filling with tears as well.


    Not care? How could he not? But so many events had piled up recently, overwhelming him. He allowed his emotions to cloud his judgment, which led him down the wrong path.


    He reached out to grab her wrist, noticing how much weight she had lost in just a few days. Her slender arm nearly slipped from his grip.


    Alicia pulled away sharply. Her face was still streaked with tears, yet she stood her ground relentlessly. She took a few steps back, keeping her distance, as if he were toxic.


    Caden was taken aback.


    “Let’s end it here.”


    Alicia’s face was etched with despair, her puffy eyes locked on him with firm resolve.


    “Let’s end this, Caden.”


    Her words tore through Caden’s heart, the pain twisting his gut.
