The Rose I Couldn’t Save Novel – “Are you sure you want to destroy all personal information? After successful destruction, you will completely disappear from this world, leaving no trace!” The staff looked particularly surprised at the woman in her early twenties in front of them, who was holding application materials to destroy her identity information. Alyssa Sexton nodded, her voice soft yet firm, “I’m sure.” Upon hearing her response, the staff took the documents and stamped them with a seal, “The destruction process will take about 15 days, please be patient.” She didn’t stay any longer, turned around and left the office hall.
After walking a short distance, she operated on her phone and soon received a message from the airline confirming the successful booking of her ticket. After dealing with these matters, she took a taxi back to the villa. The car drove towards the villa area all the way, and soon the taxi could no longer continue to move forward. The villa of Austin Burton was not far from here. She got out of the car and walked slowly towards the front on her own. Not long after she had set off, her attention was caught by a Maybach parked by the side of the road.
The violent shaking of the car body, with unclear significance, led to endless imagination. The car window was half open, and inside appeared the figures of a man and a woman. The handsome man leaned back in the chair, smoking a cigarette, his suit jacket lazily open. One hand held the woman’s waist, while the other hand slightly lowered the car window, extinguishing the glowing embers on his fingertips. On his bony hand, he wore a wedding ring with a name engraved on it. Alyssa.
Her body trembled slightly as she took out her phone and dialed the number that she had once pinned for seven years. *** The call was answered quickly over there, Austin’s gentle voice with a hint of hoarseness came through the phone, “Sweetheart, what’s wrong?” “Were you at the company?” She didn’t answer his question, but a hint of moisture quietly appeared in her eyes, and she casually asked a question. “Yes,” his low laughter came through the phone, and when he spoke, his voice softened even more, with a soothing tone, “Are you missing your husband? I’m sorry, the company was a bit busy today, sweetheart, please wait for me at home for a little while longer, I’ll be back soon.” She didn’t say anything more and hung up.
At the same time, the Maybach she was staring at shook again as the phone call ended, and the movement became more and more intense. She gritted her teeth against the stabbing pain in her heart and turned away, unwilling to look again. An hour later, the gate of the Burton’s villa was suddenly opened. Austin walked in hurriedly, holding a blooming rose in one hand and a box of desserts in the other. In the living room, Alyssa did not greet him as usual, but sat silently on the sofa, seemingly oblivious to his return.
His face was full of guilt as he coaxed and kissed her, “Sweetheart, there was a sudden meeting today that I couldn’t get away from, so I came back a little late. Can you forgive me?” She lowered her gaze, her eyes falling on the dense kiss marks under his open shirt, and asked softly, “Austin, do you still love me?” He did not realize that the kiss marks on his chest had been exposed. Seeing her asking like this, he suddenly panicked and hugged her tightly, “Why suddenly ask such a question? Of course I love you, everyone in the world knows that I love you to death, how could I not love you?” Austin’s response made Alyssa self-deprecatingly purse her lips.
Yes, everyone in the world knows that Austin loved his wife Alyssa so much that he was willing to give up his life for her. Her original family was not good. Since she can remember, her parents argued endlessly every day. Sometimes the arguments escalated to physical violence, with pots and bowls being smashed, and even knives being brandished with the intention of killing each other. But every time they argued, they would turn to her in tears, saying, “If it weren’t for you, we would have divorced long ago.” She grew up in such an environment, and finally waited for their divorce in the first year of high school, so she was extremely resistant to love.
Even though countless people pursued her from childhood to adulthood, she never considered dating. Austin appeared at this time, and he fell in love with her at first sight, starting a crazy pursuit. He confessed 78 times, and she rejected him 78 times, until one time they had a car accident. Without hesitation, he shielded her with his body, and she was unharmed thanks to his protection. However, he broke three ribs and lay in bed for a full three months. Her heart was made of iron, but he managed to pry open her heart with half a life. After the two started dating, the Burton family, who were a wealthy and prestigious family, did not appro
