The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 313

The trip to Paris lasted several hours on the Linden family’s private plane. Since she returned home, Vega had never visited Paris. For her family, Paris was also a place full of bad memories. They seemed to have avoided that place during Vega’s disappearance.

This was the first time Vega would return there. Luckily, the girl had absolutely no bad memories of that city. Altair noticed how Vega seemed to be enjoying the trip with her usually happy face.

Ahh .. it seemed that Vega had made the right decision, he thought. The proof was, his sister could go to Paris looking so carefree and relaxed. For her, Paris was not associated with tragedy.

The moment she watched her bodyguards die in front of her trying to prevent the kidnappers from taking her, was not in the girl’s memory.

Her family also did not discuss in detail the events that happened at that time. After Vega made decisions about her and Ren, her family complied with all her requests.

That moment was very emotional for everyone, as Vega finally made her heartbreaking decision. It made them realize that the girl’s grief was far, far deeper than they had imagined.

Altair could never forget what happened in Almstad last year when his sister told their family how she wanted to handle the situation.

Vega asked Lauriel to give her a potion to erase her memory during the six years she was kidnapped and missing. The sadness she experienced was so deep that Vega almost didn’t want to live anymore.

The pain of being betrayed by the one she loved the most, broke her heart into a million little pieces. Every time she saw Ren, she would remember that Ren was the man who was responsible for her kidnapping, which led to the death of her children.

Even though Vega loved Ren, she couldn’t erase the image of the shooting incident that took the lives of her unborn babies from her mind. This was what tormented her the most.

“I don’t want to live with hatred and heartache all my life,” Vega cried to her parents. “Maybe you will think my choice is cowardly, that I prefer to forget all the tragedies that happened rather than face them …. I know that I should go to grief therapy sessions, so I can forgive Ren and move on with life ..”

Aleksis held Vega’s hand tightly. She listened to everything her daughter said with a bleeding heart.

“You don’t have to forgive Ren,” whispered Aleksis. “He has ruined your life. You have every right to hate him… and your father will punish him accordingly.”

Vega shook her head. “No, Mother. I have to forgive Ren; otherwise, the grudges and hatred between our families will never end. This is a vicious cycle that must be broken. After all, he only avenged his father’s death.”

“You can forgive him but you don’t have to come back to him,” said Aleksis again.

Vega glanced at the room at the end of the hall. “My husband has never loved any woman in the world until he met me. I also don’t know whether his love for me is because he feels guilty for me or whether his feelings are sincere. I don’t think our relationship will ever be repaired. Between us, there will always be a memory of the tragic past.”

She then turned to Mischa, forcing a smile on her grief-filled face. Somehow, in just a matter of days, Vega had lost all the lights in her eyes, and her appearance now looked emaciated and frail.

“I used to really like you, Mischa. I even embarrassed myself to get your attention. After I became older and we met again, I understand why I used to like you so much. You are a very kind and sweet person. You always treat me very well when I was your assistant… Sometimes I was asking myself this question….” A single tear rolled down Vega’s cheek as she continued. “What if I was never kidnapped? What would have happened between us if I wasn’t married to Ren? Unfortunately, we can’t turn back time and redo everything all over again.”

Mischa was stunned to hear what Vega said to him. He did not expect that Vega would mention their past. His frozen heart slowly started to feel warm. His face was smiling as he held back tears from forming in his eyes.

The handsome man looked like he was about to say something, but there was obvious doubt on his face. After a while, he swallowed hard and finally dared to convey what was in his heart to the girl.

His voice was hoarse from holding back emotions, but his tone was still firm. “Vega … you are not married to Ren. You must not tie yourself down to the man who has ruined your life.”

Aleksis and Altair frowned when they heard Mischa’s words just now. How could he say that Vega was not married to Ren? Did Mischa know something they didn’t?

Only Elios and Vega seemed to understand what the golden-haired handsome man meant.

Vega nodded at Mischa. “You are right. Legally, Ren is not my husband. He married a girl named Fae Muller, and I am Vega Linden.”

“Oh ..” Aleksis sighed when she heard Vega’s words. It was true. Ren was not legally married to Vega, but Fae, so the marriage between her and Ren was not valid.

“But that’s not why I asked grandpa for the memory potion. I don’t want to take it to forget our marriage and everything that happened. I already told Ren that I forgive him. If I want to forgive him one hundred percent, I have to be able to forget all his evil deeds and start with a clean slate.

Unfortunately .. it is impossible for me to do because I am so hurt. Maybe, it will take decades or centuries before I can forgive him and forget his crimes. Maybe this pain will even haunt me for life. I don’t want to live like that. I’d rather die than live with this much pain forever…”

“Oh, Vega ..”

“Ren believed an eye for an eye, and a life for a life. I think for once, I’ll agree with him. Sometimes we need to pay an eye for an eye. That’s why I want grandfather to give me a memory potion to erase all the bad memory I experience as a result of Ren’s actions, not only to forget the pain but also because I want to completely forgive him.”

She looked at Lauriel and smiled. “I’ve talked to Ren, and he is willing to do whatever it takes to atone for his sins to me, including losing all his memory. Because he has erased mine, he is willing to lose his memories too. I think the only way for us to start a new life is to forget all the revenge and the hurt …”

“Have you really thought it through?” asked Lauriel.

Vega nodded firmly. “I only request that after one year, when things have died down, please take me to Paris and let me see Ren. I want us to meet again without resentment and hurt feelings.”

Elios looked pensive for a long time after he heard Vega’s decision. The man admitted that this incident was partly the result of his actions. So, he couldn’t blame everything on Ren.

So, he agreed with Vega’s decision to forgive Ren and give him a second chance. He also had experienced what it was like to be in Ren’s position. He once hated humans very much and wanted to destroy the world to vent his pain and hatred from losing his mother.

Elios also saw Friedrich’s figure in Ren. In the past, he was eager to work with Friedrich to advance technology and take humans to explore outer space.

Unfortunately, Friedrich died young. Now, when he thought about it, Ren could fulfill his father’s dream and rejoin SpaceLab.

Ren would make a great contribution to mankind and the world if they let him live. He would be able to do many things that Friedrich was not able to do before.

“I agree,” said Elios. He held his daughter’s hand and squeezed it gently. “I understand what you are thinking. If that’s what you want, I will make it happen.”

“So.. you want to see Ren one year from now without remembering who he really is?” asked Altair in confirmation.

He still found it hard to believe. Altair was anxious, if Vega met Ren again, his sister would fall in love with Ren again. He really didn’t like Ren. If possible, he wanted them never to have anything to do with the man again.

“That’s right,” replied Vega. “I want to meet Ren again as two people who have no hatred and grudges. If he and I fall in love again in the future, then you should give us your blessings and support our relationship.”

“Vega …” Suddenly, Mischa spoke again. He sounded doubtful in the beginning, but he kept talking. “You said .. you would never know what would have happened between us if you had never been kidnapped …”

“Yes…”

“Don’t you.. want to find out?” asked the man with a hoarse voice.. His deep blue eyes were fixed on the girl’s beautiful brown eyes. “Would you like to meet me one year from now and see what happens?”
