Love Ends in Winter

Slyvia leaned on Manuel's shoulder with a hidden smile of triumph and said caringly, “Don't worry, I will bring food to my sister and she won't really starve.”

Manuel nodded, “Thank you.”

After Slyvia left, Manuel felt a little sorry for Gloria, so he took a step back and said, “I just said it in anger.

“When Sylvia's depression stabilizes, we will hold the wedding again. Gloria, there is no need for you to be so extreme.”

He looked at the date and continued. “The third day of next month is a good date.”

Gloria felt no emotion at all. She no longer had any expectations for her fiancé.

Her wedding would indeed be on the third day of next month, but the groom would no longer be Manuel.

When Slyvia, who was hiding outside the door, heard Manuel's words, she could not help but grit her teeth and a vicious light suddenly burst out in her eyes.

Slyvia did not expect that after three years of hard work, Manuel still refused to give up on Gloria.

Her nails dug deep into her palms. When she returned to her room, she dialed a number, “Create an accident and kill Gloria!”

At midnight that night, a fire quietly spread.

Gloria did not know that the god of death's scythe was hanging over her head.

In the first twenty years of her life, she was constantly filled with the shadows of her parents and Manuel. 

That tie that they had all been dug out from the bottom of her heart, it felt like there was a hole as big as a bowl in her chest.

She could not help but curl up. Her tears had dried up, but the pain was long and intense and even breathing was heart-wrenchingly painful.

At that moment, she felt disheartened and suddenly felt that there was nothing in the world worth lingering on.

So much so that when she saw the sudden fire, Gloria did not move.

However, the shrill alarm outside woke up everyone in the Huerta Family villa.

“What happened?”

“The garage where Miss Gloria is imprisoned has caught fire!”

Manuel's expression suddenly changed and he quickly rushed towards the garage, but someone was faster than him and kicked open the garage door first, “Sister!”

Seeing Slyvia, Manuel's pupils shrank. “Sylvia, don’t!”

Slyvia rushed into the fire regardless.

Manuel had no choice but to follow her closely.

Seeing Manuel, Gloria, who was staring at the fire with a numb expression, finally had a glimmer of light in her eyes.

But then Slyvia, who was running in front, suddenly smiled and said to Gloria silently, “Sister, do you think he will save you or me?”

After saying that, she let out a scream and fell down.

Manuel subconsciously caught Slyvia, then looked at Gloria with a somewhat conflicted expression.

Finally, he picked up Slyvia and said to Gloria who was in the depths of the sea of fire, “Gloria, I will send Sylvia out first and then come back to save you.”

However, the fire was too big and there was no possibility of entering.

The last glimmer of light in Gloria's eyes was completely extinguished.

She stared blankly at Manuel as he strode away, his back getting farther and farther away.

Seeing his parents running over and anxiously surrounding the unconscious Slyvia, her heart hurt more.

No one remembered her anymore.

In only three years, she became a complete outsider.

Gloria sat down again and watched the burnt beam fall before her eyes with an expressionless face.

“Fine, death may not be a kind of relief,” she muttered.

At the end of my consciousness, the shadows of those people became blurred across the sea of fire.

Gloria raised her head and forced back the tears that were about to fall from her eyes. She hoped that she would never have to see Manuel and that couple again in her next life.

An unknown amount of time had passed before Gloria opened her eyes and saw the white roof of the hospital.

She realized that she seemed to be lucky enough not to die.

A sneer suddenly came from the side.
