My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Yesseca's voice was filled with despair and anger. "Tremaine, if that's how you see me, there's nothing else that I can say. If you can't even trust me, then we shouldn't even be together!"

Tremaine didn't speak.

A violent clash of emotion flashed in his eyes.

In the past, he'd planned on spending the rest of his life with Yesseca. Even if the Presidential Palace and the whole of Nashaland were against them, he had never wavered. However...

He was wavering now.

They'd been together for so long, and this was his first time wavering.

The next day.

Kyi in had continued to wait outside Quartley Palace.

He did not eat nor drink.

The soldiers reported this to Tremaine, but he wasn't in the mood to bother about Kylin. He just told the soldiers to leave him alone.

Madam Quartley was putting pressure on Tremaine as well, asking him to give her an answer.

Under the pressure, Tremaine was mentally and physically exhausted.

He was also feeling dizzy.

The last straw that broke the camel's back was Yesseca's words.

He went to see Yesseca again.

He wanted to have a proper, honest talk with her, but the first thing Yesseca said when she saw him was, "Tremaine, let me go. I don't want to stay in Quartley Palace or Nashaland anymore." Tremaine sounded exhausted. "Yesseca, I just want to have a proper conversation with you."

Yesseca didn't want to talk to him.

Days of being locked up and Tremaine's words had made Yesseca utterly disappointed in him. All she wanted was to leave.

She finally understood that Tremaine didn't trust her at all.

Since they couldn't even trust each other, there was truly no need for them to be together.

Moreover, Tremaine already thought of her as a vicious, evil woman.

Tremaine's words from the other day had really cut deep. Yesseca was heartbroken.

She said, "There's nothing else to talk about, Tremaine. If I'd known that we'd end up like this, I wouldn't have come to Nashaland with you. I would've married Kylin and things would be so much better." Yesseca knew that she did not like Kylin romantically, and she'd never thought about wanting to get back together with him. Even if she and Tremaine weren't together anymore, she wouldn't get together with Kylin. She said this purely out of anger.

However, Tremaine thought she was telling the truth.

When he thought of how Kylin had told him about Yesseca calling him and crying over the phone, Tremaine was both angry and sad.

He and Yesseca had been together for so long, and he'd done so much for her, but he still couldn't compare to Kylin?

Yesseca refused to tell him a single thing, yet she could cry to another man. Did she really not love him at all?

Tremaine looked at Yesseca, looking livid. "I knew that you've never forgotten about him, Yesseca!"

She angrily blurted out, "Yes, I've never forgotten about him. Are you happy with this answer, Tremaine?!"

This was what broke Tremaine.

Up till this point, Tremaine had still harboured a sliver of hope though he knew that Yesseca was the culprit. He didn't want to lose her. However, she'd crushed all of his hopes.

Perhaps she'd never truly been in love with him from beginning to end.

Even though her target was Qiana, she'd also put Montez at risk. Montez was his son, his flesh and blood. If Yesseca truly loved him, she would've thought about him.

She wouldn't have put Montr

at risk

to vent her anger!

What else could he wish for when it came to a woman like this?

"Yes, I'm very satisfied!" Tremaine sneered. "You want to leave, don't you? I'll let you go! Once you're gone, things are truly over between us! From this moment onwards, we'll be strangers, never to cross paths again!"

Though Yesseca was the one to say that she wanted to leave Quartley Palace, her heart still twisted painfully at Tremaine's words.

From this moment onwards, they would be strangers. They would never cross paths again.

How laughable. Tremaine truly had a heart of stone!

Yesseca's eyes were filled with tears, but she forced herself to hold them back.

She would not cry.

She couldn't cry!

Why was she crying at Tremaine's heartlessness? Did she want to give him something else to laugh at?

Yesseca said, "Fine. We won't ever cross paths again! From now on, it'll be as if we've never met!"

"Guards!" Tremaine shouted.

Immediately, soldiers poured into the room.

"Mr. Tremaine," they said respectfully.

Tremaine said, "Escort Yesseca Cowell out of Quartley Palace and deport her from Nashaland. She is never to return!"

With these words, there was a loud bang.

Something fell onto the floor and shattered into pieces.

It was Yesseca's heart.

Yesseca was escorted out of Quartley Palace.

The soldiers led her into a car. Kylin wanted to get on as well, but the soldiers didn't allow him to. He quickly hailed a taxi and got it to follow Yesseca's car.

In the blink of an eye, they were past Nashaland's borders.

The car stopped.

The soldier said to Yesseca, "Miss Cowell, we're past the border. Under Mr. Tremaine's orders, you're not to enter Nashaland anymore."

Yesseca's eyes were bloodshot, but her voice was resolute.

She said, "Tell him that even if I were to be terminally ill and Nashaland had the only thing that could cure me, I still won't step foot there! I won't ever step foot there for the rest of my life!" After that, she got out of the car.

The soldier shook his head as he watched Yesseca walk away.

Although he was only a lowly soldier

in charge of Quartley Palace's security, he'd heard of Tremaine's love and affection for Yesseca. Tremaine had stood strong against the whole of Nashaland for Yesseca, and he'd even wanted to make her the first commoner to marry a president of Nashaland.

How had things taken such a huge turn in such a short amount of time?

Yesseca had even been deported from Nashaland!

Kylin finally caught up to Yesseca.

He asked the taxi driver to stop, then got out of the car and ran towards Yesseca.

"Yesseca!" Kylin called out.

However, she didn't seem to hear him and continued walking. Kylin had no choice but to run ahead of her and block her path.

He tried to catch his breath. "Yesseca, wait... wait for me."

Only then did Yesseca see Kylin.

Her mind was in such a mess that she hadn't even heard him calling out to her.

"Kylin." Yesseca was so overcome with sorrow that she wasn't even surprised by Kyi in's sudden appearance.
