The Day Our Promise Breaks (Charles and Evelyn) novel Chapter 644

Luna didn’t have to finish her sentence—her meaning hung in the air, sharp as glass.

Only she could save Charlie.

Charles was cornered; he had no other way out.

Getting Charles to marry her had become Luna’s single-minded obsession. It wasn’t just about his wealth or status—she truly loved him. He’d promised her, after all. He said he’d marry her.

How could he go back on his word?

Just because she wasn’t Debbie, he was ready to erase her from his life. He’d been so cruel.

Thinking back to those hellish days in northern Myanmar, Luna looked at Charles with eyes burning with a love she couldn’t hide, and a hate she couldn’t smother.

But she forced the hate down.

No love, no hate—simple as that.

If only he’d marry her. If only she could become Mrs. Jenkins, keep Evelyn beneath her forever—then she’d win. That was enough.

She didn’t care whether Charles loved her. As long as she could stay by his side, as long as he couldn’t leave her, she’d be satisfied.

Luna’s gaze devoured Charles’s face, the one she worshipped and despised in equal measure.

She was waiting to see him break. Waiting for the day he’d swallow his pride and beg, just to save his daughter.

But Charles left her cold. He didn’t even frown.

Those frigid eyes looked right through her, like she was nothing but a two-bit actor in a bad play.

His voice came out low and steady, each word heavy with disdain. “Luna, do you really think threatening me with Charlie will make me marry you?”

Luna’s smile turned stiff.
