He Chose Her for the World Cup. I Chose To Leave Chapter 9
When I got home from the cemetery, my parents saw my red eyes and rushed over anxiously."Skyler, are you okay? Did that asshole do something to you again?" my dad asked, his heart aching for me.I wiped my eyes and gave them a reassuring hug."Mom, Dad, don't worry. I am never getting back together with Louis. I made everything completely, brutally clear to him."I assumed that after finding out the truth at the cemetery, as long as Louis had a shred of shame left, he would stop bothering me.But I underestimated the obsessive delusion of a man who was used to always getting his way.A week later, my coffee shop and gallery officially opened.The store was packed with customers, the scent of espresso mixing with oil paints, creating an incredibly comforting atmosphere.Just then, the bell over the door chimed.I looked up, instinctively saying "Welcome," but the smile vanished from my face when I saw who it was.It was Louis.He looked completely different from a week ago. He was clea

Louis looked like all the air had been knocked out of his lungs, staggering back a step.He stared at me blankly, the tears pooling in his eyes finally spilling over."No... Skyler, you're lying, right?""We've been together since we were eighteen. We fell in love at first sight in front of the college library. You told me yourself you'd never marry anyone else. Twelve years... you can't just stop loving me! How can you just erase everything we had?"Watching him cry, a cold smirk touched my lips."Yeah, twelve years," I said evenly. "But you seem to be forgetting something. All those past feelings? When you refuse to cherish them, and when I stop loving you, they just become useless garbage. I took my love back a long time ago. Right now, you mean absolutely nothing to me."Louis lowered his head, begging pathetically. "Skyler, I've changed! I swear! I cut Monica off completely, I deleted every way to contact her! Not only that, but to come find you, I quit my job in New York, I got i

(Skyler’s POV)The coastal town in the Pacific Northwest where I grew up had a peacefulness that was worlds apart from New York.I sat on the porch swing in my parents' backyard, a steaming mug of black tea in my hands."Skyler, are you really okay with letting it go?" My mom walked over, her eyes filled with unconcealed worry.I looked up at her graying hair and gave her a calm smile."Mom, I’ve shed too many tears for that relationship over the past twelve years. So many that I forgot how to actually be happy." I took a sip of the hot tea, letting the warmth settle in my stomach. "Breaking up wasn't a blow; it was total closure. I never have to deal with that endless jealousy and emotional drain ever again."Hearing me say that, my parents let out a long sigh of relief.Without saying a word, my dad took his phone and expertly blocked Louis and his entire family, entirely severing my ties to the past.The 9th. Today was the day Louis and I were supposed to be at City Hall taking our

Just as Louis was about to hit purchase, a hand slammed down over his screen."What are you doing?!" Monica stared at him in utter disbelief, not even bothering to wipe her tears. "You're going to look for Skyler? She ruined my life, and instead of getting justice for me, you're going to bring her back?!""Let go!" Louis batted her hand away, agitated. "She’s my fiancée! Of course I’m going to find her!""Fiancée?" Monica shrieked. "What kind of fiancée is that?! She's vicious and has no boundaries! Louis, wake up! I’ve been by your side for thirty years! We grew up together, I’m the only one who will never betray you. She’s just a toxic bitch who tossed you aside like garbage!"The half-open front door was suddenly pushed wide."Monica is right."Louis’s mother walked in, her face stormy.She had come by to drop off the final proofs for their wedding invitations, only to overhear the screaming match from the hallway.She walked up to them, glaring sternly at her son. "Skyler crossed t

All the color instantly drained from Monica’s face, and the hand holding the phone trembled violently."Boss! Let me explain!" Monica was in shock, her voice cracking. "I can fix the proposal! I'll work overtime and rewrite it right now, please just give me one more chance!""Fix it? With what?" The boss sneered, his voice dripping with disgust. "I received an email clearly detailing that all those 'excellent' design proposals you submitted over the years weren't even your work. You had someone else ghostwriting them for you!"Monica froze completely, cold sweat instantly soaking her back."Our company doesn't need a fraud with zero professional ethics," her boss delivered the final blow coldly. "Come pack your desk tomorrow, and never let me see your face again."The call ended."No... how could this happen..." Monica’s legs gave out, and she collapsed onto the sofa.Suddenly, she started sobbing hysterically into her hands, completely losing her mind."What’s wrong?" Louis, startled

(Louis’s POV)On the afternoon of the 8th, Louis and Monica arrived back in New York.Sitting in the back of the cab heading into the city, Louis unlocked his phone and opened his chat with Skyler.The last message was from ten days ago—his cold, commanding "we'll go get our marriage license."Skyler hadn't replied.Louis tapped the screen and sent a text: "I'm on my way home. Miss you."Silence.Louis tossed his phone aside, completely unbothered, and rubbed his temples.He and Monica had a great time on their ten-day World Cup trip.As far as he was concerned, Skyler’s little explosion in the apartment was just a woman throwing a tantrum because she felt insecure.Once they went to City Hall tomorrow and got their marriage certificate, everything would go back to normal.He was planning to take Skyler to the South of France for their honeymoon—her favorite place. He knew once she heard the news, she would throw herself into his arms in excitement.He knew Skyler too well. She had lov
