After Beckett Blackwood Rescued His Beloved Intern Girlfriend From a Fire

: Forgiveness

3

Beckett Blackwood's expression instantly stiffened. He stammered, "She's still young, after all... And she's a really hard worker. If I fire her, it might affect her ability to find another job..."

Beckett Blackwood and I grew up together. I've seen every side of him.

Whether he was sad, upset, or feeling guilty about a lie, I could always tell what he was thinking with just a single glance.

Everything he said, both explicitly and implicitly, showed he couldn't bear to fire that girl.

I always believed I was the only one who would ever occupy Beckett Blackwood's heart. But now I'd suddenly discovered that the chamber reserved exclusively for me had been quietly infiltrated by someone else.

Suppressing the ache in my chest, I stared at him quietly. "Beckett Blackwood, if you don't fire her, we're getting a divorce."

With that, I turned and went straight home.

The moment I stepped through the door and saw the home filled with all our sweet memories, tears streamed down my face like a broken dam.

My legs gave out, and I collapsed to my knees. I simply couldn't accept that something like this—being cheated on—could happen to me.

I dismissed the nanny and sat alone in the living room, my mind consumed by a single word.

'Why?'

In truth, I had vaguely sensed something was off ever since Beckett Blackwood came home late and drunk for the first time six months ago.

'It's just that it's so easy to deceive yourself, to refuse to accept reality.'

'Tia Thorne.'

'I knew who she was.'

'An intern at Blackwood Corporation, a star student from Brighton University, whom Beckett Blackwood had specifically kept by his side as a secretary.'

"Tia Thorne is really smart." Whenever Beckett Blackwood said those words, an unconcealable smile would spread across his face.

But he, who had always been so observant, never noticed the forlorn look on my face.

'What I walked in on today surely wasn't the first time. The memory of them tangled together so intimately made my chest ache as if pierced by a thousand needles.'

Beckett Blackwood rushed back home soon after. When he saw me, he visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

He knelt in front of me, carefully taking my hand. He looked at me and said, "Genna, I've already fired her. I promise you, something like this will never happen again."

I looked at him as if I were seeing him for the very first time.

'The Beckett Blackwood before me felt like a stranger. I even wondered if I was trapped in some absurd nightmare.'

'And yet, the dream felt so real.'

'As the saying goes, once a cheater, always a cheater. But Beckett Blackwood and I have such a long history. Asking me to let go of this relationship would be like having my heart ripped out of my chest.'

So, I chose to endure the pain and forgive him. I decided to give Beckett Blackwood one more chance.
