Chapter 10

ผู้เขียน: Feather
Two years later, I bought my own condominium unit in North City by paying it in full.

Even though it was not big, I renovated every corner to my liking. The walls were a warm white color, and my carpet was made of soft wool. My balcony was planted full of irises.

There was no fir-scented perfume, nor any cups with someone else's initials. Everything in this place belonged to me.

During one weekend, Mandy was in North City on a business trip, and she came to visit me at my new condo. She sat c

  • He Chose Her, So I Chose Myself   Chapter 10

    Two years later, I bought my own condominium unit in North City by paying it in full.Even though it was not big, I renovated every corner to my liking. The walls were a warm white color, and my carpet was made of soft wool. My balcony was planted full of irises.There was no fir-scented perfume, nor any cups with someone else's initials. Everything in this place belonged to me.During one weekend, Mandy was in North City on a business trip, and she came to visit me at my new condo. She sat comfortably on the sofa while munching on the fruit I had cut for her. "You're living the good life, Naomi. You've really won life's jackpot."I smiled and poured her a glass of juice. "It's all right. It's only because I'm not facing any depressing issues.""Speaking of that, I've got news to share." She suddenly sat up straight with a light in her eye. "Emmett was released from jail last month."My hands paused while cutting up more fruit, but I quickly snapped out of it. "Oh.""Don't you w

  • He Chose Her, So I Chose Myself   Chapter 9

    Emmett was taken to court, and because the funds he embezzled were a huge amount that he was unable to pay back, he was facing at least three years in jail. Cherry's situation was no better. Emmett testified in court that she had been extorting him for the past five years and presented evidence of her coercing him into spending money on her. Even though it was not enough for Cherry to be sentenced, it was enough to destroy her reputation.Cherry's university expelled her, and the men she made use of with empty promises of a relationship finally saw her for who she was. They demanded that she return their money and even exposed her terrible behavior online, turning her into the most hated person around.The night before Emmett's court hearing, there was a rare storm in North City. I was on my way back to my condo with an umbrella after working overtime at the office. When I got to the stairs, I saw someone huddled at the corner.It was Emmett. He was drenched and looked like

  • He Chose Her, So I Chose Myself   Chapter 8

    On the third day that Emmett was dragged away from my office, I was meeting a client at the cafe downstairs. The client left after we finished the meeting, and as I was about to put the documents away, someone suddenly sat opposite me."Naomi." It was a familiar, sickly-sweet voice. I looked up to see Cherry in a thin coat that was clearly not her size. Her face was blue from the cold. Gone was the smug, sugary-sweet act she used to put on. Honestly, she looked like a mess."You've got the wrong person. I don't think we know each other." I closed my laptop and was about to leave."You should have some sense of shame, Naomi!" Cherry suddenly raised her voice, attracting the attention of the people around us. She clenched her teeth and suddenly changed her tone and demeanor to look pitiful."Naomi, I know you're mad at me, but you can't torture Emmett because of that. He lost his job because he was trying to find you, and he's now at risk of getting sued. You can't destroy his

    The winter days in North City were short. It was only 5 PM, yet the sky had turned dark. I stayed in the office a little longer to work, and it was 7 PM by the time I left the building.When I walked out of the building, I stopped in my tracks because I saw a man standing outside. He was wearing a thin, black coat, and his hair was messy from the wind. He was also holding a bouquet of irises. It was Emmett. He looked like he had lost a lot of weight. His eyes were sunk in, and his chin was covered in stubble. His eyes lit up right away when he saw me. He looked like a man who had gone without water for three days in the desert and had just discovered an oasis."Naomi!" He strode over to me, trying to hug me, but I took a step back and looked at him coldly."Please control yourself, Mr. Carr."Emmett froze, and his hands, which were reaching out toward me, paused midair. "Naomi, I’ve been looking for you for a whole month…"His voice was trembling, and he started to tear up

  • He Chose Her, So I Chose Myself   Chapter 6

    Life moved fast in North City.In my first week at the new company, I took on an important project and got so busy that I had no time to think about Emmett.After I was done working overtime on Friday night, I went downstairs to grab a sandwich from the cafe. The moment I sat down, Mandy called me. "Naomi, guess what Emmett has been up to recently."I took a bite of my sandwich and asked, mouth full, "Is he dead?""Well, maybe soon. He's gone crazy." Mandy could not hide the glee in her voice. "He came by the office to look for you, but he found out you had resigned. After that, he went to the realtor and was told that you gave the lease to someone else and even gave up the deposit.""What happened after that?""He started calling every one of your mutual friends to ask about your whereabouts, but no one knows where you are. I heard that he’s offered a $15,000 reward on social media for any clues about where you are."I smiled. "$15,000? The bags he bought Cherry are worth mor

  • He Chose Her, So I Chose Myself   Chapter 5

    It was early morning the next day when my flight landed in North City. It was snowing, and the air felt especially fresh. I took a deep breath. It felt like all my depressed emotions had been carried away with the crisp air.I got a taxi to the apartment I had arranged to rent earlier and put my luggage away. I made myself a cup of hot tea and sat on the sofa as I clicked through the smart home app, but my finger paused above the button to unlink all the smart-home devices from my account.After some thought, I opened the living room camera's live feed, and that was when I saw Emmett opening the door. He was still wearing the same clothes from yesterday, and his hair was slightly messy. It looked like he had stayed up the entire night."Naomi, I'm home," he called out to me while changing into house slippers. However, no one replied. He frowned and walked into the living room. “Where were you the entire weekend? You didn't even reply to any of my texts."He took off his coa
