Became A Queen After divorce

In a corner unnoticed by everyone, Natalia suddenly pulled out a knife hidden under her qipao.

She wasn’t there to take Declan away; she was there to take his life!

“Declan, pay for the lives of my father, brother, and son!”

No one expected the seemingly frail and gentle Natalia to move so swiftly.

Drops of blood flowed from his body, merging with the red carpet.

This dramatic turn of events left everyone in disbelief.

Cheyenne gasped, her cold eyes fixed on Natalia on the stage.

“It’s clear she’s struggling herself, but she still took this step.”

“Yes.”

Kelvin responded softly, wrapping his arm around the woman’s waist and pulling her closer.

“Let’s hold off for now.”

On the other side, it was only when the knife pierced Declan’s heart that he reacted, his pupils dilating as he looked calmly at the person behind him.

With his last bit of strength, he finally asked the question he had kept in his heart all his life.

“Did you… ever… cough… ever love me?”

His eyes were filled with hope, not like those of a powerful man who could control everything;

It was as if time had turned back twenty years.

Back then, he was just a driver she had picked up, and she was the young lady he admired and loved.

Because of their status difference, this humble love could only be hidden in the shadows.

Natalia’s hands trembled as she staggered back two steps.

She looked at her blood-stained palms in confusion. She had avenged them, but why did she feel no joy, only relief?

Why?

“Answer me, please?”

He had been stabbed twice in fatal spots.

With only a bit of strength left, Declan could no longer hold on. His tall body was collapsing backward.

Pearl couldn’t hold back any longer. Tears streamed down her face like broken pearls as she ran forward and caught her falling father.

“Daddy!”

With a thud, father and daughter fell to the ground. Pearl held the bleeding man, feeling unprecedented panic and fear.

She regretted it.

Why did she marry Sam?

If she hadn’t fallen in love with Sam, there wouldn’t have been a wedding today, and her father wouldn’t have been assassinated.

“Daddy, it’s all my fault. Please don’t leave me.”

“I promise I’ll listen to you from now on and never make you angry again.”

“You can’t leave me. You said you’d watch my baby grow up. He needs to call you grandpa…”

Her daughter’s remorseful cries echoed in his ears, her tears burning hot.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Declan looked lovingly at his precious daughter Pearl, trying with all his might to touch her face one last time and wipe away her tears.

But he felt so tired, his body so heavy… his hand wouldn’t move at all.

“Pearl, cough cough, don’t cry. Daddy will always love you. You are my daughter… from now on, you must be strong, understand?”

“No, I don’t understand! You weren’t there when I was little, and now you’re leaving me again?”

What strength?

She didn’t want it!

If only her daddy could come back to her side, she would happily be a carefree little girl forever.

Declan thought about the years he hadn’t been able to watch her grow up. It was one of his greatest regrets.

“Pearl, I’m sorry… Daddy was wrong. If I had known this would happen, I wouldn’t have sent you away back then.”

His poor, sweet daughter had grown up all alone. Now… she would be alone again.

Pearl cried uncontrollably. She wasn’t trying to argue about the past; she wanted to hold onto the present.

“I don’t want your apology; I want you to stay.”

“It’s all my fault. I’m sorry… Daddy, please don’t leave me.”

At that moment, she could even let go of her love for Sam if it meant her father would get better.

Thinking of Sam, Declan sighed deeply and looked at the white figure with difficulty.

In his final moments, he felt no hatred for him.

“Cough cough… I know you wanted revenge for your parents. When… cough… did you find out?”

Sam stared coldly at him, lips barely moving: “I knew from the beginning that you were the one who ordered Esteban’s father to kill my parents!”

“I came to Taswya and even joined you just to get my revenge today!”

Declan had been so smug, thinking he had done everything flawlessly.

“Never thought I’d misjudge someone after a lifetime of reading people.”

Sam remained silent.

His eyes glanced at Pearl with a complex expression.

On his deathbed, Declan still had so much he wanted to say to his daughter, but he saw death approaching.

The scythe at his neck made him feel suffocated; his consciousness began to fade.

“Pearl, live… live well!”

“Don’t hate…”

His weak voice was carried away by the wind. Before he could finish saying “Don’t hate Sam,” his hand fell limply.

He closed his eyes forever.

The once-mighty Declan of Taswya died at the hands of those he trusted and loved most.

“Daddy!”

“You liar! Wake up! Don’t sleep!”

Her heart-wrenching cries echoed through the space, making anyone who heard them feel sorrowful.

She should have been the star today, the happiest bride in the world.

After today, she would have had a loving husband and an indulgent father.

And soon, a well-behaved and adorable child.

But all of it… was ruined!

Ruined by her own hands!

Ruined by her reckless choices!

Suddenly lifting her head as if making a significant decision, Pearl looked at him and said word by word: “Sam, from now on, we are done!”

Her white wedding dress was stained red with blood; her tears hadn’t stopped since they began.

Her gaze toward him was filled with hatred.

She would never forgive him.

With a bitter smile, Sam couldn’t bear to look into those eyes any longer. He had always been willing to sacrifice everything for his goals.

But now that he had succeeded, he still wasn’t satisfied.

In the past, he wouldn’t have cared what Pearl thought of him.

Love or hate, he always stayed clear-headed despite being in the thick of things.

Now he was helpless in both body and heart.
