After The 99Th Time, I Chose Divorce. 118
Loren's POVMy eyes widened, my jaw hanging low as Killian freaking Whitmore brushed past the crowd, walking until he was on the stage standing beside me. “I volunteer to be her partner.” he said, “And Miss Bennet, it's Loren Hatt before Mrs. Whitmore.”Murmurs grew, tearing through the hall. Soft enough to drift past but loud enough to make them out. “Killian Whitmore is a cellist?!”“You didn’t know? His era was one of a kind!” another added. “People called him the Jade of the music industry.”“Even at age fifteen, once he picked up his cello, everyone else abandoned theirs.”“Everyone knew one thing— it was simply impossible to win against Killian Whitmore.”“When he quit years ago, the entire industry held a sixty-day mourning period as they lost a prodigy. His father’s loss made him stop, but now…”Rue looked like someone had dumped a bowl of ice-cold water over her head. She grabbed the table to steady herself and my hand brushed with Killian’s. My stomach fluttered but my h

Loren’s POV One week later “Calm down, hot chocolate,” Killian said, kissing my forehead, pulling me into his arms. “You spent the past seven days practicing nonstop; nothing can go wrong.”I pulled away, pacing to and fro in the waiting room. Killian got discharged on day three, but he’d had the cello brought straight to the hospital before that. I played before him every night, and the day he finally returned, we had a whole feast while he and Pilar acted like judges. Those two rascals rated me a three out of ten. I shook my head at the memory before staring at him.He was dressed in an impeccable dark suit, his green eyes shining like everything was under control. But even in the air conditioned space of the competition’s waiting room, I was unraveling quickly. It was my first performance after a long while, and there had to be seasoned cellists out there. People who have been at it for years. And then, there was Rue. “What about Rue?” I blurted as Killian offered me a b

Loren’s pov Before I could form words, the sound of the machines beeping tore through the room. My eyes widened as Killian’s grip on me tightened, his eyes filled with worry as he gasped for air. No, no, no! “Killian! Killian!” I tore his hand from mine and rushed outside, “Doctor, Doctor! my husband he…. Please save my husband!”The doctors brushed past me, rushing into the room. I tried to follow but a nurse blocked me. “You need to allow the doctors to check him. You shouldn’t have gotten him agitated! You might have set back his recovery.”I stumbled, the ground beneath me shifting as a dull ache settled in my chest. All of this. It was all happening because of me. How could I get carried away with my emotions? Why did I confess everything? Because of me…“What did you do?”I turned slowly, my gaze meeting Pilar’s wide frantic eyes. “I saw the doctors rushing here, how is Killian? What happened? You were in there with him, right?”I struggled to form words as she grabbed

Loren's POVI turned, stumbling past the guards as I raced out of the estate. I hailed a cab, yelled the address, and slumped against the back seat. For a moment, time slowed and I couldn’t breathe. The only lines running through my head were simple. Please, please, Killian. Please be alive. “Please don’t die on me” The final words escaped my lips as the car pulled up in front of the hospital. I rushed inside, bumping into Pilar.“Pilar, Pil—“She pulled me into a hug, sobs escaping her lips.No, no, no. “Pilar, w-what happened? Tell me, please, please tell me—““A trust, Loren!” She cried, a smile breaking through her lips. “A trust paid off the bills and Killian’s already in surgery!” She hugged me again. “The doctors are saying that there’s a huge hope for him! This is all thanks to that trust! It happened at the last minute but…”I sucked in a long breath, hungrily as I leaned against the wall. He was alive. My Killian was alive and that was all that mattered. I didn’t

“W-what?” “You heard me right, darling.” Rue rolled her eyes. “What’s it to me if Killian is dying? He had his chance to be with me and he chose you,”Didn’t she care about him? Even a little?I thought she…How could I be so foolish? “There comes a time,” Rue turned, strolling inside the estate, “when a man has to face the consequences of his actions.”She settled on a chair beneath the shade in the garden. The guards tried to stop me from following her but she gestured for them to leave. I rushed toward her but before I could reach the shade, she raised her hand for me to stop. I froze there, standing in the rain. Just as I mustered the courage to speak, Rue beat me to it. “I know, I know,” She said, reaching for a glass of wine I hadn’t noticed. “I said I’d return Whitmore Group if you agreed to my terms — your mother’s catalogue and your right to perform as a cellist.”I nodded frantically. At that point, all I really wanted was the money for hospital. Everything else could

Loren’s pov I fumbled with my car keys, barely seeing through my tears as I rushed out of the house. “Loren!” Pilar called after me. “Loren, at least tell me what the heck is going on!”The caller’s words were still ringing in my head as I tried to open the door. Killian Whitmore, Severe head trauma, BlackHill Hospital…Killian was in an accident, my Killian…“Loren!” Pilar finally snapped me out of it and our eyes locked, “What happened?”A sob escaped my lips first, “K-Killian…”“Yes what about that frog?”I let out another sob. “Killian had an accident, Pilar!” Pilar was frozen for a moment before she snapped out of it, snatched the car keys and started the car herself.I rushed into the passenger seat as she sped down the road. My heart was racing a mile a minute as I recalled the last moments we shared. He promised me a future where he was in it. I could lose everything but I couldn’t lose Killian.Pilar pulled to a halt in front of the hospital and we rushed out, racing
