My Substitute CEO Bride (Nash Calicraft) novel Chapter 2220

Inside Nash's subconscious, the once-calm lake suddenly erupted into flames. Nash huddled in a small boat, curled up as scenes of pain and loss flashed around him.

These painful memories played over and over in his mind like a relentless reel of despair. Each replay was more agonizing than the last till the point he could not bear to keep his eyes open anymore.

Through the flames, he saw his wives engulfed by the fire. It was then that Nash realized closing his eyes would not help as his mind kept replaying those haunting images.

“I... I..." he stammered, but words failed him.

Suddenly, the boat beneath him began to crack open, and scorching flames and surging lake water poured in. Nash frantically tried to stop it, but his efforts were in vain. He could not hold back the destruction alone.

The boat finally sank, dragging him down with it. The deeper he sank, the more futile his struggle became.

As the water engulfed him, a voice whispered in his ear, telling him to stop fighting, to let go and rest. Slowly, Nash closed his eyes, succumbing to the depths.

Sierra's voice came at this moment, "Fool!" Nash opened his eyes to see his four women gripping his limbs, preventing him from sinking further.

Nash shook his head, his voice weak and filled with despair. “I’m sorry, I... I can’t...”

Despite his words, the four women did not give up. They continued to pull him, but gradually, they, too, were dragged down into the lake’s depths by the overwhelming force. Nash was frantic now.

“Sierra! Tatiana! Melody! Lana!” he shouted, but it was futile. He felt helpless and defeated as he watched his loved ones fall beside him. His frustration and powerlessness consumed him.

He refused to accept it!

Nash turned his gaze toward the lake’s surface. Besides the flames, the dazzling sun was reflected in the water. The bright sunlight shone through the water, casting its light on his face.
