Her Wasted Love Chapter 9
A year later, I got married again.Landon was the groom.Our wedding was held at an ordinary hotel on a busy street. There were no extravagant decorations or elaborate ceremonies, just family and close friends gathered around tables, laughing, chatting, and filling the room with the warmth of everyday life.I wore a simple white wedding gown, my arm linked through Landon's. Whenever he looked at me, his eyes were filled with unmistakable tenderness.Over the past year, we'd gone from coworkers to lovers. He'd seen me exhausted after late nights revising client programs. He'd seen me standing confidently at the front of a classroom, doing what I loved.He never said, "I'll provide for you."He only ever said, "I'll stand by your side."He never questioned my worth. Whenever I succeeded, he celebrated me with genuine pride.For the first time in my life, I knew what it felt like to be respected... and truly cherished.As we mingled with our guests, Landon never let go of my hand
Her Wasted Love Chapter 8
Tobias walked in first.Allison followed a few steps behind him. She was wearing an oversized sweatsuit, her hair tied back in a messy ponytail. Her face was pale, drained of all color. The defiance that had once filled her eyes had been replaced by fear and helplessness.The moment she saw me, her gaze clung to me as though I were her last hope.Before Tobias could speak, she choked out one trembling word, "Mom..."I'd almost forgotten. When she was little, she'd called me that in the same soft, sweet voice.But those memories had long since been washed away by the hatred, resentment, and the words she'd later thrown at me, "You're not my mom."Before I could respond, Allison broke down. She stumbled toward me, tears blurring her vision."Why?" she cried, her voice shaking with hurt and accusation. "You knew I was dating someone. Why didn't you stop me? Just because I'm not your biological daughter, you stopped caring whether I lived or died?"I met her tear-filled eyes and ca

Tobias had finally realized that the stone he'd spent years trampling into the dirt had been a pearl all along. Too bad he had been too blind to see it.After the awards ceremony ended, I stepped down from the stage.A tall, handsome man walked toward me. It was my coworker, Landon Pierce.Seeing the evening breeze pick up, Landon gently draped his suit jacket over my shoulders."It'll get chilly tonight. Don't catch a cold," he said with a warm smile.I smiled and expressed my gratitude. As I looked up, I caught sight of Tobias standing by the ballroom's side entrance.The moment he saw Landon's gesture, he visibly staggered. I saw the look on his face, but I looked away without giving him a second glance.When Landon handed me a glass of champagne, I clinked my glass lightly against his and finished it in one sip.As for when Tobias left, I had no idea, and I couldn't have cared less.The ballroom remained lively, filled with music, laughter, and conversation.Champagne in

I copied Tobias's and Alyvia's phone numbers onto a blank sheet of paper and handed it to Ms. Bishop."These are her biological parents' phone numbers. Please contact them directly from now on."Ms. Bishop stared down at the note, looking completely bewildered."Mrs. Bullock, I..." She hesitated, as though she wanted to say something.I simply smiled, shook my head, and walked out of the office.The moment I stepped into the hallway, a smile spread across my face. From today on, Allison's life had absolutely nothing to do with me anymore.It felt wonderful.…BrightPath Education Center's annual awards ceremony was held at the Grand Meridian Hotel, a five-star hotel.Standing before the dressing room mirror, I looked at myself in a striking red evening gown. Gone were the dull, muted colors I'd worn for years.Tonight, I looked bold and alive.It was the first time in seven years I'd worn something this vibrant.Back at the Bullocks', my days had revolved around the kitchen

The coworkers inside the training room noticed Tobias, too. Whispers immediately spread through the room.I ignored them and calmly finished my presentation. Then, I walked outside.The moment Tobias saw me, he hurried toward me, his steps slightly unsteady."Sofia..." His voice was so hoarse it barely sounded like his own. "What are you doing here?"I looked at the state he was in and found it almost laughable. "I work here. I'm an experienced education consultant. My hourly rate is $500."Tobias froze. Staring into my eyes, he saw a confidence and determination that had never been there before. He probably never imagined I could radiate so much confidence.After a long silence, he finally came back to his senses."Sofia, let's go home, okay? I know I was wrong. Home isn't the same without you."I almost laughed. Meeting his gaze, I answered calmly, "Tobias, is it really the house that can't function without me, or is it you?"The color drained from his face."And one more t

Without another glance at him, I gripped my suitcase and walked straight for the front door.The sun was warm against my face. It felt as though something that had weighed on me for years had finally slipped away.…The next morning, just as I'd expected, Tobias never showed up at the courthouse.I turned around and walked away without a second thought.I rented a tiny apartment in the old part of town. It didn't even have its own bathroom. To wash up, I had to use the shared restroom down the hall.The place was small, but for the first time in years, I felt truly at ease. There were no endless chores, no father and daughter demanding my attention every waking moment, and no one barking orders at me as though it were my duty to obey.So this was what freedom felt like.I made myself lunch.As I ate, it tasted like the best meal I'd ever had.It was delicious.Just then, my phone began to vibrate. His name flashed across the screen: Tobias Bullock.Without the slightest hes
