Chapter 926

Unwittingly, Brad had drawn the outline of Nadine's face on the fogged windowpane. He had imprinted every detail of her, from her smile to her every gesture, deep within his heart. His longing for her would reach its zenith in the quiet solitude of their bedroom at Phoenix Villa. He always felt there was an inexplicable scent lingering in the bedroom, one that belonged to Nadine. But when he asked Gigi and Sean, both of them said there was no smell, that it was his imagination. It wasn't until later that he realized the scent lingering in the room was a tangible manifestation of his longing for her. It had wrapped around him like a phantom embrace. He closed his eyes, trying to picture her smile, her voice, everything about her in his mind. Those memories washed over him in waves, leaving him adrift in a sea of desperation. It felt as if he was the only person left in the world. He missed her so much that it hurt. His yearning was a consuming flame, torturing his heart and soul.
