Fifteen minutes later, he parked the car and ascended the stairs.

Upon opening the door, he found a middle-aged woman there tidying up the room. Startled by the noise from the door, she froze before regaining her composure. After a moment of silence, she asked, “You must be Mr. Fowler, right? Miss Brown left this letter for you."

A letter?

Marcus had a premonition as he took it, unfolding it to discover its contents.

The letter from Melissa contained only a few brief words— just two lines.

“Mr. Fowler, we do not belong together!

Please, do not come looking for me."

Marcus read these two Lines repeatedly, finally accepting the reality that Melissa had truly departed.

After expressing his love, sharing kisses, and crossing all boundaries, she chose to leave. In the aftermath of everything, she left him with just two lines.

Marcus stood in silence for an extended period.

The woman, observing his demeanor, cautiously remarked, "You seem like a respectable person. Are you Miss Brown's boyfriend? Miss Brown shouldn't have let you get away."

Without offering a response, Marcus walked away, clutching the letter.

A week later, he received a package containing a small, familiar velvet box.

Upon opening it, he discovered a diamond bracelet- a piece he had given Melissa earlier.

Although he had claimed it to be a sample from a partner, it was, in fact, a unique creation by a renowned designer he had personally commissioned. Valued at 12 million dollars, Melissa had sold it for a mere 800 thousand.

Marcus stared at it for a prolonged moment, and then dialed a number, demanding, “Where is she?"

Exactly one minute later, Marcus received a message.

The message contained an address located in a small town next to Duefron, along with information detailing Melissa's experiences and social connections.

At the very end of the message was a photo of Melissa with a slim young man.

The young man seemed to be around 23 or 24 years-old, with a somewhat pale complexion and a melancholic gaze.
