I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you ! " What happened to Dad - it wasn't intentional . I only wanted to put on an act to pressure you .

I've bought the finest cemetery plots for Mom , Dad , and our children . Please give me a chance to make things right . I can't live without you !

The thought that I almost had another child with the man who killed my parents makes me sick ! " If you won't agree to a divorce , then we'll settle this in court ! " With that , I patted Kolton's hand , signaling him to wheel me back inside .

As the villa door slammed shut , he lunged forward like a madman , desperate to force it open . But his hands got caught between the iron gates . Melted snow turned to ice , freezing his palms to the metal . His heart - wrenching screams echoed throughout the courtyard . After a long while , the roar of a car engine outside faded into the distance . Alejandro was gone . I thought he would finally give up after feeling my resolve - especially now that his company was in chaos . The Kingsmore family was still pressing their advantage .

Not only had all partnerships been terminated , but an inspection team had already moved into the company to launch an investigation .

" Looks like your methods weren't thorough enough . He still has the nerve to come here and harass me . " He smiled faintly . " Consider it done , Ms. Gilbourne . " With that , he pulled out his phone and made a call .

Alejandro lay sprawled in the snow , his phone ringing incessantly . " Don't ask me ! Did I hire you to sit around doing nothing ? " Figure it out yourselves . I don't have time for this ! " I stood by the window , looking down at him just as he had looked down at me that day , when I knelt on the ground with my forehead battered and bloody . It was a long while before his lips turned pale and his hands trembled so violently he could barely move . Only then did we call the police and an ambulance to take him away .

Taking advantage of the time , I went back to the Archdekin's residence and packed up all my personal belongings . As for those photos - our couple shots , wedding pictures - and all the items that held memories of our dates , I burned them all to ashes . I didn't want the slightest connection with him anymore .

But the searing flames scorched his skin , blistering it instantly .

Still , his frantic movements were no match for the speed at which the photos turned to ash . Watching him grit his teeth in agony , I saw him finally plunge his hand into the snow to soothe the burning pain- only to have his palms shredded and bloodied by the glass shards scattered on the ground . Meeting his sorrowful gaze , I kicked over the basin and smashed a hole in the ice of the outdoor swimming pool . I stuffed the remaining unburned love letters , postcards , and photos into the icy hole . " Because I don't want to keep a single memory of a rotten person like you .
