Chapter 270
Once Caleb calmed down, he knew he could not push Sydney too far. But leaving her here alone didn’t sit right either. It would only give others an opening-like Marcus, who had just dropped her off.
The moment Sydney heard he planned to move in downstairs, her whole body tensed with discomfort. But there was nothing she could do. She couldn’t exactly buy the entire building.
She kept her tone even. “That’s your business. You don’t need to tell me.”
In other words, she was saying, “Move if you want. What’s it to me?”
Her cold eyes and flat voice hit him harder than he let on. For a moment, he wanted to drag her back to Viridian Garden, where he could see her every second and ensure that she couldn’t slip away again.
But Julian’s presence forced him to hold back for now. Maybe not for long, though. If he uncovered proof that her parents’ deaths were tied to the Sterling family, Sydney herself would never want to live across from Julian again.
The elevator doors opened. Ignoring the storm in his eyes, she stepped in first and pressed her floor.
Caleb followed without hesitation. Twenty-two for her. Twenty-one for him.
Each second of the ride crawled by.
He watched her stand against the wall, keeping as much distance as she could. The sight jolted him back to those years when, on every holiday or birthday, she had waited at home for him to return. But he had never gone back. Not once.
The memory deepened his hatred for Penelope. Even that night in the industrial district, the woman had tried to trick him again, nearly killing Sydney in the process.
His expression hardened.
The elevator reached the 21st floor.
Pulling himself together, he turned to the girl who refused to give him more than a few clipped words.
Swallowing the tightness in his chest, he said quietly, “Don’t worry about your parents’ case. Gordon went to Brimcrest City himself. I’ll inform you as soon as there’s any progress. I don’t want you going to Julian. That’s partly selfish, but it’s also for your own good.”
Her laugh was soft and cutting. “For my good?”
His lips thinned. “When the truth comes out, I’ll tell you everything.”
He knew better than anyone that with her history with Julian, she wouldn’t believe him without proof. Worse, if he spoke too soon, he might alert the enemy.
With that, he stepped out. Just before the doors closed, he looked back at her. “I’ll be right downstairs from now on. If anything comes up, call me anytime.”
He had never managed that before. To her, those words meant nothing.
1/2
Sydney glanced at the floor display, watched the number change again, and let out a quiet breath. But when she stepped out on her floor, she froze.
Someone was waiting by her door.
He wasn’t in his usual tailored suit. Lately, he didn’t seem as attached to them. Instead, he wore a black turtleneck and casual trousers, one hand in his pocket as he leaned against the wall.
Julian’s gaze swept over her tired face, and his eyes narrowed with a faint smile. “Things didn’t go well?”
He was clearly referring to the corrupted lab data.
Sydney gave him a sideways glance as she walked to her door. “Shouldn’t you already know?”
Sterling Corp. was entirely under his control now. There was no way he hadn’t heard.
Behind her, his voice came light and teasing. “And what if I want to hear it from you?”
Sydney remembered how he had always hated pointless chatter. When she was little, she had been a chatterbox, trailing after him and talking about anything and everything. And Julian had always looked at her like she was a nuisance.
Conclusion
In the quiet aftermath of their tense exchange, both Caleb and Sydney found themselves grappling with their complex emotions, each weighed down by their pasts and the uncertain future ahead. Caleb’s determination to protect Sydney, even from the truth, reflected his deep-seated love for her, a love that battled against the shadows of his family’s legacy and the dangers lurking nearby. Meanwhile, Sydney’s cold demeanor served as a shield, a defense mechanism against the pain of betrayal and the memories of a childhood spent waiting for someone who never returned. Their reunion, fraught with unspoken words and unresolved feelings, left them both standing on the precipice of a deeper connection, yet painfully aware of the barriers that still lay between them.
As Sydney faced Julian, the man who had once been a constant in her life, the familiarity of his presence stirred a mix of nostalgia and discomfort within her. His teasing tone belied the weight of their shared history, a history that had been marred by loss and manipulation. In that moment, Sydney realized that her struggle was not just against the looming threat of their shared past but also against the pull of old ties that threatened to ensnare her once again. The emotional arc of this chapter culminated in a poignant recognition: while both Caleb and Sydney were bound by their histories, they were also standing at a crossroads, where the choices they made could either forge a path toward healing or plunge them further into the darkness that sought to consume them.
