The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 308

“Let my father come in,” said Vega between her sobs.

“Yes, Madame,” said Linda from outside.

Vega and Ren exchanged glances. Their feelings were stirred up. At that moment, Ren really wanted to take Vega to somewhere far and disappear, so they could live together, just the two of them.

He was determined to atone for all his sins to the girl. All his life, he would devote himself to make Vega happy, and to protect her from any harm.

“Vega, Honey… please forgive me. I promise from now on my whole life is only for you. I will atone for all my mistakes and sins in the past to you. I beg you, please give me a second chance. Let me make up for all the pain I have caused you,” whispered Ren in a very earnest voice.

“Otherwise, I would have no more reasons to live. All this time, I only lived for revenge … That revenge has ruined my life. It also has ruined your life and has killed our children. Right now, I just want to live alone with you and leave everything behind…”

Ren kept pleading with Vega with tears in his eyes. He threw away all his pride and begged this woman to forgive him and take him back. Ren knew he didn’t deserve Vega at all .. but he hoped Vega would give him a second chance.

The bedroom door opened from the outside without a knock and entered a handsome man with platinum-hair. His face looked so similar to Vega. Elios walked with long strides.

As soon as he reached the couple, Elios pulled Ren’s shoulder roughly away from his daughter. The younger man fell to the floor while Elios carried Vega from the sofa.

“Honey, are you okay?” he asked gently while hugging Vega. “I am sorry I didn’t come sooner…”

At that time, Vega could no longer hold back her sadness. She immediately wrapped her hands around Elios’s neck and wept bitterly on her father’s shoulder.

“Father…..” Vega was so heartbroken that she couldn’t even say a word. Only her tears keep streaming down hard.

It was a gut-wrenching scene. Ren felt his stomach churn.

Ah … it’s all over now… he thought despondently.

Vega already knew his secret, and even if Elios didn’t know it yet, he would soon find out. Ren really did not expect that Vega would come to Almstad alone and confront him.

Elios rubbed his daughter’s back with a heavy heart. Every time he saw Vega crying, he felt devastated. He already knew that all of Vega’s suffering was the result of his past sins.

He looked at Ren, who slowly got up and looked at him and Vega with teary eyes. Both men looked at each other with deep hatred.

“I remember your father …” Elios said in a firm voice. “I didn’t mean to kill him.”

Ren bit his lip. He understood now that Elios really knew everything.

“What happened to my uncle?” asked Ren in a trembling voice. He remembered the look in Karl’s eyes this afternoon, the last time he spoke to Karl in his office.

Ren could presume that Karl would take all the blame by himself and set Ren free.

His chest tightened even more as he remembered how much Karl loved him and would do anything for him. And now, Karl even sacrificed himself to take all the blames and the hate, even though in fact Ren was also responsible for all the pain that Vega had experienced.

Ahh .. he hoped Karl didn’t know that Vega had found out everything when she confronted Ren, and she managed to make him confess all his sins.

“Your uncle is dead,” Elios said firmly.

Elios knew his abilities well. Half an hour after being shot at those five points, Karl would die for losing so much blood. Initially, Elios wanted to give a much more brutal punishment to the person responsible for kidnapping his daughter. However, after he realized that Karl’s grudge against him was caused by his own past sins, his heart softened.

The important thing now was to save Vega and heal the wounds in her heart. The reality she was facing now was truly heartbreaking.

Vega loved Ren very much, and today she found out that the man she loved and married for nearly two years was the villain who had taken her forcibly from her family, made her a pawn for revenge, and ruined her life.

If only the culprit were someone she didn’t know, it wouldn’t hurt this much. Elios felt that Vega would need a long and intense therapy to recover her mental state, which was devastated by Ren’s actions.

“I will atone for my sins to Vega,” Ren said steadfastly. His voice sounded very earnest.

“Of course you will,” Elios said curtly. “You will pay for everything with interest.”

Elios walked out of the room carrying Vega, who was still sobbing on his shoulder.

“Wait for me!” said Ren. He walked quickly, trying to hold Vega’s hand. “I’m coming with you.”

Linda, who saw the three people walking out, was very surprised. She didn’t understand what was going on. Why was the mistress being carried by a stranger, and she was crying? Why was Mr. Hanenberg also crying?

What happened exactly?

She looked even more surprised when she saw a man with long golden hair appear from the courtyard. Lauriel held Ren’s shoulder, who was about to chase after Vega and Elios.

“You can’t exert too much energy, or you will die,” said the man in a stern voice.

“What … what do you mean?” Ren was in a daze when he heard Lauriel’s words.

Wait.. why did suddenly his heart beating so fast? Did Vega give him poison?

“I added a simple poison to the veritaserum Vega asked from me. She didn’t know about this,” said Lauriel. He quickly added. “This is to prevent you from hurting my granddaughter.”

When Vega asked for the veritaserum potion from him, Lauriel immediately suspected something was bothering her mind.

Even though the girl did not want to tell him about what happened and asked Lauriel to give her time alone with Ren, Lauriel would not take any risk and let Vega in danger. That’s why he added poison in the veritaserum that Vega would give to her husband.

“Wh … what did you say?” Ren pressed his chest with both hands. Why was he so careless today that he was tricked into drinking the truth potion?

Usually, he was always alert and calculating. But today, everything was messed up.

Earlier, his mind was all over the place. Ren was just very happy to see Vega in his home. All his longing for the girl immediately flowed out and he just wanted to hug Vega. All he could think about was how he wouldn’t let her go again.

“You have to come with us,” said Lauriel. He pressed Ren’s shoulder hard. Ren’s body staggered as he lost all his strength and finally he fell to the ground with a loud thud.

Then everything went dark.

St. Laurent building was protected by security teams stricter than usual. Elios and Lauriel took Ren and Vega to the penthouse located on the top floor and let the two of them rest.

Lauriel hadn’t given Ren an antidote and let him pass out in one of the locked rooms, while Vega, who was constantly crying, was left to calm down in another room.

Lauriel and Elios then sat together in the living room drinking brandy. The two of them looked very depressed. Elios felt uneasy because he knew that all the events that happened were partly his responsibility.

He really wanted to kill Ren, but he didn’t want to make Vega hate him because not only did Elios have killed Friedrich Neumann, her father-in-law, he would also kill Ren, Vega’s husband.

Lauriel, who really understood Elios’s situation, could only remain silent. He took a slow sip of the brandy, wondering what they should do.

“I think it’s best to let Vega make the decision. After all, she is the victim here …” said Lauriel finally. “If it’s up to me, I’d kill everyone involved.”

“You are right, Father,” said Elios in a soft voice. He glanced towards the room at the end of the hall where Vega was resting. They could still hear soft sobs from there.

At that moment, Elios really wanted to continue hugging his daughter and comforting her. Unfortunately, when they arrived at the penthouse, Vega asked them to leave her alone.

Elios felt sad because he understood that Vega must be blaming him.
