Didn’t take a genius–she couldn’t handle watching him marry someone else.
The next day, Cedric jetted off on his honeymoon with Elyna, totally forgetting about Reine.
Two weeks later, back at the Gramont mansion, he finally noticed–she was still gone.
He called the housekeeper.
That’s when it hit–Reine had left Lurevis on his wedding day.
Only then did he remember: he’d wired her ten grand so she could travel for a month before coming back.
By that math, she had two weeks left.
Cedric figured he’d give Reine a quick reminder–keep her feelings in check Elyna wouldn’t be cool with any drama.
Now that Elyna was pregnant, he had to tread lightly too. No one was allowed to stress her out–not even Reine,
But two weeks passed. No Reine.
Another two? Still nothing.
Cedric started to feel off. He finally called her–for the first time in weeks.
Her number was dead
That’s when it hit–she was really gone. No goodbye No trace She even changed her number to block him out.
The idea sat weird in his chest. She’d actually walked away, just like that
But then he brushed it off Made sense, right? He was married now, had a baby on the way. She probably had no choice but to
bounce
That thought calmed him down.
He’d married the woman he loved Whether Reine came hack or not? Didn’t matter
If anything, this was cleaner Less noiss
