When We Meet Again As Strangers novel Chapter 11

I didn't confront Victor with the truth in front of him.

He came every day, bringing me all the things I once loved to eat.

I knew him well—he would never easily give up on a life. He even devoted everything to saving stray cats he found on the street, let alone his own flesh and blood.

I stared at the ceiling, recalling the days when I took birth control pills, wishing that I could have been the one to give him a child.

We were like we had been when we were young, spending a time together without worries.

But no one knew that I was quietly carrying out my own plan.

Ever since I saw the photo of the sunset over the snowy mountain, I longed to leave this place.

Tyler was dead, Victor had returned, but I still hadn’t truly gained my freedom.

I wanted to spend the rest of my life searching for the meaning of my existence.

On the day I left without a word, I found the drawings of "Victor" I had hidden away, carefully organized them, and then set them all on fire.

It felt like a memorial, yet it was also a declaration of the immense resolve I had made for myself.

From now on, Victor would truly be my brother.

I left a note for him and Serena, along with all the spare money I had, and went to the airport alone.

I flew to Elysian Valley, took a bus to Ascent Temple, and my final destination was Meridian Peaks.

I had done some research during this time, and that photo was taken with sunlight illuminating the golden mountain.
