Chapter 5

Author: Lennox Chase
I stood rooted to the spot, unable to process what had just happened for a long time.

Sandra had never spoken to me that way before.

She used to say, "Theo, I love you so much. I want to marry you someday and have a beautiful baby boy with you."

Back then, her love for me had been unshakable.

But that was Sandra at eighteen. At twenty-eight, Sandra's heart had changed.

......

After that day, I asked my assistant to look into Shawn's background.

His family really had been poor.

His parents had di

  • I Don't Want Your Fickle Love   Chapter 11

    The heart that had once beaten for her had flatlined long ago.I pushed her away and said coldly, "Sandra, you're a cheater."You love Shawn, but you can't bear to let me go. You strung both of us along, thinking you could have the best of both worlds without risking anything."But you were wrong. In the end, you lost everything."After that day, Sandra finally stopped harassing me.It was as though she had vanished from my life completely.The only news I heard about her came from Zane. He told me that she was waging a relentless campaign against my family's company.In the end, the Shaw family business went bankrupt, and my father divorced my stepmother.The Raines family had also poured so much money into destroying us that they were now on the verge of bankruptcy themselves.The girl who had kidnapped me and the men who had beaten me also died suddenly in prison.When I heard all this, I felt a great weight lift off my shoulders.It meant that no one would ever control me again.

    Maybe in the past, I would've forgiven Sandra over and over again.I would've believed there was still a place for me in her heart.But after everything that had happened, Sandra's actions had made it clear that there was no place for me in her life and that she didn't love me.As for why she was desperately searching for me now, I could only assume that losing Shawn had left her devastated and she wanted another man to become her emotional crutch.Every day after that, Zane updated me on Sandra.One day, he told me that he and Sandra had attended a class reunion the night before.Some of our former teachers had been there too.One teacher jokingly asked Sandra, "You and Theo must be thinking about having kids by now. You two were always so in love. Couples like you two are rare."Sandra had frozen on the spot. She didn't say a word for a long time, and her knuckles turned white around her glass.Zane said, "I think she was remembering how much she once loved you and wondering why she

    At that moment, all I could think about was how my father had controlled me since childhood.He forced me to learn piano, even though I hated it, and made me attend endless tutoring sessions.Meanwhile, my stepmother would beat me whenever he wasn't around.She told me she hated me and that I had no place in that family.Now, I was choosing to walk away.At last, I was finally free.......Before leaving, I went to see an old friend.His name was Zane Lynn, and he had once been a close friend of both Sandra and me.He was also the only friend I had in the world.When I told him I was leaving, he looked surprised. "What? Are you dying too?"His question made me laugh."I'm perfectly fine. It's just that I've finally seen things for what they are, and I want to leave this place and all its painful memories behind.""So you're really giving up on Sandra?"I had already told Zane everything that had happened between Sandra and Shawn.I had also told him that I had decided to let Sandra go.

    That way, it wouldn't leave any marks, but each blow hurt even more.If I disobeyed, I was beaten. If I told anyone, the beating would only get worse.My father would beat me whenever my grades were bad, too.No one knew about this dark part of my past.Later, when my father forced me to study abroad, my stepmother came to me in private and warned, "You'd better get out of here, and fast!"Otherwise, I'll hurt that girl you like."I had no choice but to leave.Never would I have expected leaving the country to change so many things.When I came back to my senses, I had been beaten within an inch of my life, and my mouth was filled with blood.I couldn't fight back. All I could do was endure it.Eventually, the men grew tired and went off to rest.I seized the opportunity to reach for my phone and send an emergency text to 911.Ten minutes later, the police arrived.The moment the men heard the sirens, they panicked and fled.The young woman showed no fear. Instead of running, she walke

    We borrowed school uniforms from a couple of current students and slipped onto campus, pretending we still went there.The school had changed a lot. The old, rundown athletic field had been rebuilt, and the classrooms had been renovated.Sandra took my hand as we walked."Theo, do you remember when I fainted on the field, and you carried me to the nurse's office?"As we passed the cafeteria, she continued, "You always slipped out of class early to grab my lunch before the rush and waited for me."You always knew what I liked without me having to say a word."I froze.Those weren't memories of us.They must have belonged to her and Shawn.Her heart was so consumed by Shawn that she had mistaken me for him.Sandra was truly cruel. How was this any different from shoving me off a cliff herself?"Sandra, there's a special place in hell for people who betray someone who truly loves them," I thought to myself.......I pulled my hand from hers and was about to tell her I felt sick and wanted

    I knew what MECT involved.Electrical shocks would erase many of a patient's memories, including the painful ones.They would then no longer feel sad and hurt themselves.I fell into deep thought. After a long silence, I finally replied, "Maybe next time."With that, I took my medical report and left.I had barely stepped outside when I ran into Sandra.The moment she saw me, her eyes filled with suspicion."What are you doing here?"Of course. Shawn was in this hospital too. She was afraid I might hurt her precious Shawn.I gave a bitter laugh inwardly. "I came in for a checkup."She visibly relaxed. "What's wrong, Theo? Are you feeling sick?"I made up an excuse."I broke my leg a while back. I'm here for a follow-up."Don't worry. I'm not here to see Shawn.""Why didn't you tell me?"She grabbed my hand. "Why didn't you tell me when you broke your leg?"I thought for a moment before answering, "Because you were busy that day. That was the day you and Shawn started dating."Sandra, I
