Chapter 7

작가: Ada
Damon stood there, frozen. The only thing left in his head was that Evelyn had gone to the International Academy.

Three years ago, she'd turned them down—for him.

Now, she'd left him over a joke.

He collapsed onto the ground, not caring who saw. All dignity gone.

When school started, he wasn't the same person anymore.

He used to race cars with his crew every night. Now he had no interest. He'd zone out in class, sit alone during breaks, and brush off anyone who tried to talk to him. Days blurred

  • He Is No Longer in My Future   Chapter 11

    It took me only two years to complete all my courses at the International Academy and graduate alongside Julian.At the graduation ceremony, he dropped to one knee and slid a ten-carat diamond onto my finger."Evelyn, you are the only one in my life. Will you marry me?"I nodded. From that day on, the partnership between the Claremont and Cornwall families grew stronger than ever.Three years later, our wedding went ahead as planned. The moment my father placed my hand in Julian's, tears streamed down his face. It was the first time I'd ever seen him cry.He looked at me, eyes brimming with emotion. "I finally married the girl I love most."Near the end of the wedding day, I received a gift—sent by Damon.I hadn't heard a word about him since he went to prison. The Johnson family had faded into obscurity, their businesses swallowed up by the Cornwall Group.Julian said he'd never forgive Damon, and I backed him without hesitation. If Damon hadn't stolen the credit for saving me back th

  • He Is No Longer in My Future   Chapter 10

    I stared at Julian in shock until he told me everything.It was Damon who had pushed me into the lake. Julian had dived in and pulled me out. He'd collapsed from exhaustion afterward, and Damon had been the one sitting by my bedside the whole time. So I'd assumed Damon was my savior. And he'd never corrected me.Before I could even process it enough to confront him, my phone wouldn't stop ringing. Reporters, one after another. I ignored every call and opened my browser.The headlines screamed:[Claremont Heiress Humiliates Ex-Boyfriend with New Lover to Secure Her Position][Claremont Heiress's Messy Love Life—Unfit to Be Heir]The photos showed Julian holding me, and me pulling my hand from Damon's grip.But Damon's move was amateur. He didn't know that both families had been quietly pushing Julian and me together for years. Marriage between us had always been the unspoken goal.I uploaded the videos of what they'd done to me. The backlash buried Damon and the Johnson family overnight

  • He Is No Longer in My Future   Chapter 9

    The doctor put three stitches in my ear. Katherine nearly cried when she saw it."Evelyn, that Sophia is pure evil! How could she do that to such a pretty face?""If I'd been there, I'd have put two bullets in her—let her see what it feels like to be scarred!"I patted her hand. "It's not that bad. Just a scratch."But when Julian started showing up every day with lunch and walking me home from class, Katherine's eyes went all sly."Evelyn… is this your new thing?"I nearly dropped my fork. "He's like a brother."She grinned wider. "Oh, please. That man is into you. I've never seen a 'brother' hover like that. And honestly? With a face like yours, can you blame him?"I froze. Julian? Into me?I'd never thought about it. All I knew was that he'd always looked out for me. When I was busy chasing Damon, Julian kept his distance—but sometimes I'd catch him subtly competing with Damon.Was that what liking someone looked like? Because Damon had taught me that liking meant teasing, poking fu

  • He Is No Longer in My Future   Chapter 8

    My mother made my identity public, and the family officially launched me into the heir training program.Life at the International Academy started falling into place. That was when Julian Cornwall walked up to me."Miss Claremont, care to show me around campus?"His smile was warm, and compared to the boy I remembered, he'd grown into someone handsome and self-assured. From the time I was little, both our families had been quietly pushing us together. When my mother found out I had a thing for Damon, she'd shake her head with regret."Evelyn, sweetheart—what do you see in that boy? Julian is exactly what I'd want in a son-in-law."And whenever the topic came up, Julian's mother would sigh too. "Why did Evelyn have to fall for Damon of all people?"I couldn't help a small smirk. "Mr. Cornwall, you've been at this school for two years. Do you really need a freshman to give you the tour?"He laughed. "I came to pick you up. Your mother asked me to look after you."Julian had always been l

Everything felt hollow.Sophia found him sitting blankly in the empty classroom one day, fuming."Damon! You said you had inside info. There's no honors dorm at Oakwood. Everyone's laughing at me like I'm crazy.""Who the hell is Evelyn, really? All the teachers say—no Evelyn, no honors dorm. What aren't you telling me?"He looked at her like she was a joke. "She's the Claremont heiress."Sophia's face went pale. She repeated it, barely audible. "What?""She's the Claremont heiress."

  • He Is No Longer in My Future   Chapter 6

    Damon punched in the code to my front gate—and it didn't work.The lock had been changed. The house behind it sat dark and empty.He forced himself to breathe. Finally, the door cracked open—my butler.Damon tried to push past him. The butler stepped in his way."Mr. Johnson, Miss Claremont left instructions. You're not allowed inside."Damon froze. "Left? School starts tomorrow. Where is she going?" His voice cracked. "She can't actually leave me, can she?"The butler said nothing. He didn't know where I'd gone either.Damon shook his head, hard. "No. No way. Evelyn wouldn't leave. She's just pissed. She's ignoring me, that's all."He yelled into the dark house: "Evelyn… Evelyn…"Silence.He told himself it was fine. She'd cool off. She always came back. Just like every other fight. He'd apologize tomorrow at school, and she'd soften. She always did.But the next morning, he stood at the school gate for hours. I never showed.He clutched my admission letter, irritation creeping in. He
