NovelEnglishChapter 18 "I'll give Selena back to you..." Hearing these words from Zion felt almost laughable.
"Zion, you must be joking," I said, barely able to hide my irritation. "You took Selena away from me. You wanted her-so take responsibility like a man." I watched as he looked away, clearly wounded, but I felt no sympathy. "And let's be clear-Selena isn't sobject you can 'give back' whenever you feel like it. She chose you that was her decision. It has nothing to do with me." "Can't you see?" Zion finally said, his voice strained. "Deep down, she still loves you." Something in my words must've triggered him because suddenly, Zion sat down, overwhelmed, and began to tellthe full story.

But in the days that followed, things started to spiral. Selena constantly compared him to me, always putting him down. He was frustrated but couldn't do anything except try to please her and hope she would move on.
About two weeks later, Selena made it clear to him-she loved him, yes, but she couldn't let go ofor the years we had shared as husband and wife. She wanted to fight for our marriage, thinking maybe after her infatuation with him faded, she would still choose me.

Unable to contactor trackdown, she started to unravel.

But he hadn't realized how much those words would break her. "Let him go? How could you say that? After everything we've been through-all those years together, all those memories-and he just walked away? "Hudson, where are you?"
In desperation, she flooded the intewith posts looking for me, even offering a reward forinformation By that time, though, I had taken a step back from the world, deciding to cut down on screen tand barely even checking my work messages.
For reasons I still don't understand, the messages she posted neverm e reached me, it was as if they got lost in the endless digital noise.
It was only after she realized I was berlife truly unreachable, gone from her life completely, that the gravity of loss bectoo much for her. And that's what led her to attempt suicide. Zion finished his story, looking atwith a mixture of bitterness and regret.
