Even if Ellen had fallen in love with Jared, she could still walk out of it and think of it as sweet memories. She was all alone, like a bird free from its cage, so she could go wherever she wanted without having much thought.
Ellen was gone. She left a letter for Jared and disappeared without hesitation. Jared was baffled as he sat on the couch and read the letter. He couldn’t believe that Ellen would leave him behind without any notice.
“Darling, who gave you permission to leave? You didn’t even say goodbye,” Jared said after reading the letter. “I will find you.” As he spoke, he raised his head, and his eyes were filled with determination. No matter where you are, I will find you. Then, I will ask about your sudden departure.
A week later, Selena was on trial and was sentenced to a jail time of a year and three months. Although Connor tried to have another lawsuit, it was rejected by the jury.
Never would Selena imagine that she would go to jail for messing with Ellen. Moreover, she had to be in prison for a year and three months. When she found out about it, she almost cried her eyes out.
Oliver couldn’t do anything either. All she could do was watch Selena being taken away by the officers. When Selena was imprisoned, Ellen didn’t show herself, and Olivia loathed her for this. Truthfully, all Ellen had to do was talk to Jared, and she could bail Selena out of jail. However, she didn’t. Hence, Oliver thought Ellen was joyful when she saw how miserable they were.
Even Connor didn’t realize how ruthless Ellen would be. No matter how he looked for her, he couldn’t find her. At that moment, he decided to cut ties with her and denied her as their relative.
However, none of them knew that there was another person as miserable as them. That person was Jared. For the past seven days consecutively, he couldn’t find any traces of her, no matter what he did.
Just like that, Ellen was gone. However, Jared remembered that she had written such words in the letter. ‘Please don’t come and look for me. I am going to pursue my dreams. I wish you good luck, Jared.”
What exactly is her dream? Jared thought. At this moment, realization struck him when he knew nothing about Ellen. When he read her letter, he could tell she was determined to seek freedom. If he were to look for her, he would have gotten in her way.
Although Jared was reluctant to let her go, he still decided to do so. He hoped that they would meet again after she had pursued her dreams. He would wait for her as long as he could. However, questions still filled in his head. Where exactly did she go? What is her dream?
In the meantime, in Brook’s hometown, Ellen. lived in a place known as The Home of Chess. It was a tourist destination where the four seasons were warm. Ellen bought a house and officially became a member of the Chess Academy.
She wanted to elevate herself and find what she truly desired. Thus, she stayed there for one and a half years. Sometimes, she would see Jared on the news, but she had never wanted to look for him. After all, she felt peace when facing chess pieces.
A year later, Ellen participated in the chess. league that was held in the city. Then, she took part in open tournaments and won many matches. After that, she was ranked as a FIDE Master and was titled the most beautiful chess player by the local judges..
However, she was only famous in the city and not nationwide. Since Ellen had her ways of earning money, she didn’t have to worry about cash. Plus, she was a pro when it came to sa saving money.
Thus, her life went on smoothly. She was doing what she liked and found what she truly wanted. Soon, it would be her 25th birthday. Compared to last year, she had changed a lot. Now, she was at peace, had something she was proud of, and was famous.
‘Good luck, Ellen. We have signed you up for the world chess tournament. You, Jay, and Austin will be our representatives. We hope you can bring victory to us.”
