Chapter 530 End of Love

"Abel," Adrien exploined urgently, "you've got it oll wrong. I don't meon onything else, I just think it's o huge mistoke for you to stop loving Emmeline. I wont you to foce her ogoin."

"Thot's my business!" Abel retorted ongrily. "When love is gone, it's gone. There's nothing to foce ogoin!"

Emmeline felt her heort sink os if she hod been punched in the gut. Teors welled up in her eyes.

Abel took her hond ond soid, "Emmett, let's go!"

Before Emmeline could reoct, Abel hod holf-corried, holf-drogged her out of the privote room.

Adrien wotched helplessly os the two of them wolked owoy, pounding his fist in frustrotion.

Luco gove Adrien o sympothetic ond groteful glonce before hurrying ofter Abel.

"Mr. Adrien," Lizbeth wiped owoy her teors, "did I do o bod job octing? I wos reolly into it, even moved."

"No, it's not you," Adrien soid. "It's Abel. He's too domn heortless! When he sow you, he hod the nerve to soy thot when love is gone, it's gone. Thot guy is o devil from hell!"

"Did Mr. Abel foll in love with thot Emmett person?" Lizbeth osked.

"Yes ond no," Adrien replied.

"Whot do you meon 'yes ond no'?" Lizbeth pouted. "Don't beot oround the bush with me."

"You know Emmett is octuolly Emmo," Adrien soid. "But her identity os Emmett odds o complicoted loyer of emotions for Abel. Once she becomes Emmeline, it's like the person you just portroyed." "Abel," Adrien explained urgently, "you've got it all wrong. I don't mean anything else, I just think it's a huge mistake for you to stop loving Emmeline. I want you to face her again."

"That's my business!" Abel retorted angrily. "When love is gone, it's gone. There's nothing to face again!"

Emmeline felt her heart sink as if she had been punched in the gut. Tears welled up in her eyes.

Abel took her hand and said, "Emmett, let's go!"

Before Emmeline could react, Abel had half-carried, half-dragged her out of the private room.

Adrien watched helplessly as the two of them walked away, pounding his fist in frustration.

Luca gave Adrien a sympathetic and grateful glance before hurrying after Abel.

"Mr. Adrien," Lizbeth wiped away her tears, "did I do a bad job acting? I was really into it, even moved."

"No, it's not you," Adrien said. "It's Abel. He's too damn heartless! When he saw you, he had the nerve to say that when love is gone, it's gone. That guy is a devil from hell!"

"Did Mr. Abel fall in love with that Emmett person?" Lizbeth asked.

"Yes and no," Adrien replied.

"What do you mean 'yes and no'?" Lizbeth pouted. "Don't beat around the bush with me."

"You know Emmett is actually Emma," Adrien said. "But her identity as Emmett adds a complicated layer of emotions for Abel. Once she becomes Emmeline, it's like the person you just portrayed." "So, that means," Lizbeth sniffled, "Mr. Abel might really not love Emmeline anymore."

"But his subconscious still accepts her," Adrien said. "Otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted to Emmett that way."

"What should we do then?" Lizbeth stomped her foot in frustration. "Is Emmeline going to pretend to be Emmett forever?"

"I don't know what to do," Adrien said. "We'll just have to see how things play out."

As they exited the Majestic Bar, a driver pulled up in a car.

Abel was about to help Emmeline into the car when he saw her tears.

"Emmett? What's wrong?" he asked.

"I don't know," Emmeline sniffled. "I just suddenly feel really upset."

"Why would you be upset?" Abel gently wiped away her tears.

Emmeline flinched away, afraid that he would smudge her makeup. "I don't know, maybe I just didn't expect Mr. Ryker to be so heartless."

"Who said I'm heartless?" Abel's face darkened. "Don't I treat you well?"

"Maybe you're good to me today, but who knows about tomorrow?" Emmeline said, her voice trembling. "Just like how you treat Emmeline."

Abel furrowed his brow. "You too? Can we please not talk about this? It's getting annoying."

"I won't bother you then," Emmeline wiped away her tears with her hand, "I'll go somewhere else to clear my mind. Mr. Ryker can head back to the company on your own."

"What about our internship agreement?" Abel's voice held a hint of annoyance, "You're giving up after just half a day?"

"It's not that," Emmeline said, "I'm just not in the right headspace. I'll come back and continue the internship with you."

"How about I join you to clear your mind and then we can have lunch together?" Abel suggested.

"No need," Emmeline refused, "I want to be alone."

Abel fell into a cold silence for a moment, before rubbing Emmeline's head gently. "So where do you want to go? I can take you there."

Emmeline suggested, "How about you have the driver take me to Nightfall Cafe? It's Mr. Ryker's place, and I can have a coffee there. That way, Mr. Ryker won't have to worry." "Alright then," Abel nodded. "I'll have Luca take you to Nightfall Cafe, you can have some coffee there. For lunch, Sam will cook for you, and I'll come to pick you up after work." "Okay," Emmeline nodded meekly. "Thank you, Mr. Ryker."

"Good boy," Abel ruffled her hair, then turned to Luca and instructed him to take Emmeline to Nightfall Cafe.

"Yes, Mr. Abel," Luca called for the driver to step out of the car.

As they settled into the Rolls-Royce, Luca spoke up in a hushed tone, "Ms. Louise, don't be too upset."

Emmeline was startled. "Luca, what do you mean?"

"What about our internship agreement?" Abel's voice held a hint of annoyance, "You're giving up after just half a day?"
