Chapter 13 Hayes bolted from the wedding venue without looking back , not even stopping to change out of his tuxedo as he raced toward Lennox's apartment . He had to find Lennox and get answers . Why would she give up their engagement ? He drove like a maniac , running several red lights before screeching to a stop outside her building . He rushed upstairs , only to find her door standing open . " Len … " He pushed inside , the word dying in his throat . Lennox wasn't there . Just her best friend Suri and some stranger . Hayes frowned . " What are you doing here ? Where's Len ? " " Aren't you supposed to be getting married today ? What are you doing here ? " Suri shot back , her tone sharp . The two voices collided , freezing the air between them . 7 Suri recovered first , turning to the man and saying quietly , " Sorry , let's call it a day . " After he left and closed the door , she finally looked back at Hayes . " Len asked me to sell this apartment . I was showing it to a buyer . " " Sell it ? " Hayes went pale . Lennox had given away their engagement , and now she was selling the apartment too . So where was she going ? He fumbled for his phone with shaking hands , dialing Lennox's number , " Ring … ring … " Before the third ring , a cold automated voice cut through : " The number you have dialed is no longer in service … " Hayes ' grip on the phone tightened .. Impossible ! He tried two more times , but got the same emotionless message . Finally realizing something was seriously wrong , he looked up at Suri sharply . " Why is she selling the apartment ? Where the hell is she now ? " Suri shook her head . " I don't know where she went . Len didn't say . As for the apartment … " She paused . " She said she's never coming back , so she wanted me to sell it . " E His heart felt like it was being crushed by an invisible fist , the pain making his vision blur and his limbs go numb . Never coming back … From the moment she gave up their engagement , had she already decided not to leave him any way back to her ? Suri watched his devastated expression , remembering the hollow look in Lennox's eyes before she left . She finally couldn't hold back her frown : 15:19 A Billion - Dollar Goodbye : Too Late for Second Chances . Mr. Ex 9.6 % Chapter 13 " Mr. Montgomery , you're standing here in your wedding tuxedo after marrying someone else , and you're asking about Len ? What's the point ? " " I didn't ! " Hayes protested . " I had no idea the bride would be Raina ! The only person I ever wanted to marry was Len ! " His lips were white as paper . " I don't understand why she left … why she gave up our engagement … " A flash of surprise crossed Suri's eyes . So he really didn't know ? She'd assumed this whole mess was something they'd planned together . She pressed her lips together , her tone growing colder : " Mr. Montgomery , I've known Len for over ten years . She's not the type to do something like this without reason . " " If you hadn't done something to completely break her heart , how could she have left so decisively ? " " Before she left , she was nothing but skin and bones . " Suri looked at him with pity in her eyes . " Did you ever see her like that ? Someone who used to be so vibrant and bold , standing there like frost - killed grass with no light left in her eyes . " " Since you could hurt her that badly , why put on this act now like you can't live without her ? " Suri's words hit him like needles , piercing his heart over and over . " I … I didn't do anything … " Hayes felt genuinely confused. He thought about how Lennox had changed lately , seemingly starting from that dress fitting day . The earthquake , when he'd abandoned Lennox to get Raina out first . Then he'd lied about being busy that day , and immediately after , Lennox had sold everything he'd given her . Later , because of Raina , he'd had Lennox locked up for three days . But that was just to teach her some restraint , to make her less impulsive . And there was that time he'd stood up her mother's memorial service to be with Raina . The more he thought about it , the more horrified he became . He suddenly remembered what his secretary had said : " If you don't like Miss Raina , then don't be so good to her - it's breaking Miss Lennox's heart … " So Lennox had known about all his lies , had known everything he'd done for Raina . In her eyes , did she think he'd fallen for Raina too ? Hayes dug his nails into his palms until they broke skin, the sharp pain making him flinch . But that physical pain was nothing compared to what was tearing through his chest . What the hell had he done ? All the strength drained from his body at once . Hayes looked at Suri , his eyes desperate : " Please . Tell me where she went ?! " ( 0 ) ( 0 ) 15:19 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
