Countdown to the End of Us Chapter 9 Resolution
"Fuck off."That was it. Any more, and it would be a waste of good words.My partner and his stupid idea. Crush her, he said. Yuck, all it did was disgust me more.Lauren couldn't believe how heartless I was. She got up and tried to grab my hand, but the gorgeous owner stopped her. "Stop embarrassing yourself. You heard the gentleman. Fuck. Off."Lauren was timid around me, but not around anyone else. "This is none of your business." She sized the owner up and asked me loudly, "You're going to marry a cake girl instead of me? She can't even pay her shop's rent! She can't make enough money selling cakes!"That got on my nerves. I swiveled and was going to go into a tirade, but the owner wagged a finger at Lauren. "Non, non, mademoiselle. I don't need to pay rent for my shop. The whole building is mine. I am a humble woman who loves to bake cakes."Oh, wow, the hot lady was my landlady. I went through the names on the contract, but they weren't hers. "Oh, that's my mom."The lady'
Countdown to the End of Us Chapter 8 Ew
My partner showed up a week later. He could not get used to the new city, and the poor guy fell ill. I had to get to the hotel and tend to him. The guy showed me the files of our client we were meeting the next day, and I was stunned.I could not believe this guy. Even when he looked like he was dying, he still loved his work. Still, he'd fallen, so I had to finish the job alone.The business was ours. Me or him, it was the same no matter who did the job.That was until I got to the hotel. I wanted to slap myself for saying that.I called my partner right away. 'Why the hell is Lauren the rep? That was not on the file!"That worked some crazy magic. My partner was dying, but now he came back to life. "What? No way! I'd never make that kind of mistake!"My partner and I were wondering what was going on. Lauren came up behind me. "I talked to your client and got the spot. I wanted to see you."I spun. Lauren was standing ten feet away. She did not have the courage to come closer.
Countdown to the End of Us Chapter 7 Land
I landed in the coastal city, my heart light. First, I got a new SIM card and contacted my partner. Then, I blocked every single person on social media who had ties with Lauren.They sent me videos of Lauren crying at the airport. I did not watch a single one. They were blocked, their numbers were deleted, and my phone was clean. Good, no more disgusting stuff to go through.I got busy working on a new company and moving the main projects here. I was so occupied, women were the last thing on my mind. God, I had no idea life could be so fun when I did not have to think about them.My partner called me and started an online meeting. Excited, they told me the project ended perfectly on their side.The path had been hard. Fortunately, the end was perfect. It did not get in the way of us making money. I had to ask, though. I wanted to know what happened after I dropped out of the project.My partner thought I was just being curious. "Nothing much. Claude Group's representative got fire
Countdown to the End of Us Chapter 6 Proof
She was starting to panic. I refused to deal with her, so I walked off with my suitcase. "The divorce papers are on the table. Check it out yourself," I said.I got an Uber to the airport. At the same time, Lauren darted into the old home. The divorce papers were sitting on the table, and Lauren's signature was covered over it. Her writing was slender but powerful.Of course she recognized her own signature. She had no idea when she signed these papers, though.Lauren called me while I was on my way to the airport. I did not take it. Instead, I pulled out my SIM card and snapped it in two.The driver noticed what I was doing. He joked, "Got in a fight with your girlfriend?""No," I denied. "She's my ex-wife."The driver was a talkative guy. That gave him the juice he needed. "You made sure you never wanted to talk to her again. What'd she do, cheat on you?"I had no idea how to answer that. She did not technically cheat on me. She didn't do anything with Felix. Sure, she cared

I turned the ticket over and showed it to her. It was a city nearly 1900 miles away. That made her forehead crease."That's a faraway place. Why so sudden? You didn't even tell me. What if you run into any trouble?"I shrugged nonchalantly. "Nah, I don't think I had to. It's just a work reassignment."She grabbed my wrist. Of course she did not buy that story. "But that's sudden. We just got into a partnership. You're just going to throw it away?"I pulled her fingers off me and stepped away. "It's in its final phase. My partner can handle the rest. I have another project to handle."My stepping away hurt her heart. She stared at me, dazed. Lauren extended her trembling hand, and it hung in midair.Her instincts told her I was not coming back, but she asked, "When are you coming home?"I shook my head and put on a smile. "Never."Sorrow crept onto her face. She stared at me in disbelief. She kept trying to grab me, but I kept moving back, so she stopped. Like an abandoned pup
Countdown to the End of Us Chapter 4 Congratulations
I had no idea what had gotten into her lately, but I could not care less. Slowly, subtly, I was moving my stuff out of the house.I hoped she would not notice, but she did.…One day, after the meeting, she called me to her office. The moment I sat down, she asked, "I saw you moving a lot of stuff out. I don't see you coming home either. Why?"I nodded. I had an excuse ready for this situation. "Yeah, I'm moving back to our old home."A look of hesitation crept onto her face. "I've been thinking about the wedding. We can hold it…"I interrupted her, "No, thanks. We don't have enough time."Surprised, she asked, "What do you mean, we don't have enough time?"That made me think. I wondered if I should show her the divorce papers. Fortunately, a call from Felix helped me get out of the situation. I noticed the name on her screen, and I smiled."Get to work. We're not in a hurry to arrange the wedding."Lauren left the office, but as a token of apology, she turned around. Solemnl
