Breaking Free, Loving Again -The Flash Marriage with Mr. CEO novel Chapter 713

Chapter 713: Because I know the truth.

The room fell silent.

Arwen stared into Aiden’s eyes, pausing, letting the weight of his words settle in the room.

She wasn’t surprised because she had long realized it. But still, somewhere his words made her breath hitch.

Aiden nodded again and repeated. "It’s always been you. I have always loved you, and only you. Do you believe me?"

He asked because, deep down, he was scared that she wouldn’t find it believable enough. Even if he bares his heart out for her —not because she doesn’t trust him. But because he hasn’t given her enough reasons to believe him yet.

He had always told her that he had always loved someone in his heart. Although it was always her, she has no memory of it. And he couldn’t reveal the past to her —not when he knew what risk it could cause her.

He was selfish —too selfish. And he couldn’t bear to lose her —not even when he was on the verge of getting misunderstood.

"I believe you," Arwen nodded slowly, answering him.

When he blinked at her, she nodded. "I trust you. Since you say, it’s me. Then it has to be me. I believe it."

Aiden was slightly taken aback. However, before he could ask her, he saw her turn to look back at Selene.

"Did you hear that, Ms. Martin?" she asked, "I am sure that explains who got defeated, actually."

Selene’s face darkened, her eyes burning with venom as she glared at Aiden, as though he had betrayed her.

"Really?" she hissed, then snapped her gaze back to Arwen. "Do you actually believe that? If you do, then no one is a bigger fool than you."

Arwen only smiled, folding her arms across her chest. "Really? Am I?"

"Of course, you are," Selene spat, her tone dripping with resentment. "Can’t you hear the twist of his words? He never said he loved you. He said he always loved the moon in his heart. And I told you —you are not that Moon. You are just a substitute he found. You —"

"Selene!" Aiden’s voice thundered, his jaw tight. But before his temper could flare further, Arwen’s hand gently pressed against his. When he looked at her, she shook her head slowly, a soft smile curving her lips.

Then she turned to Selene, her eyes sharp.

"So, what you are saying is —it’s not me, but you? That you are the so-called moon of his heart?"

Selene smirked, her lips curling with smugness. "Do you still doubt that? I thought I made it clear the last time when we discussed this. Selene means Moon. And Moon means Selene. Who else could it be, if not me?"

Arwen tilted her head, feigning a thoughtful agreement. "Yes, I know. Selene means Moon, and Moon means Selene. I have read that. But when I did, I thought it was just your random fascination with the galaxy and the stars that made you change your name to Selene." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Belle Martin ... that was her name —the one that she had changed just to make herself more like the girl Aiden always had in his heart.
