I Loved Her Eleven Years, She Lied Eight Chapter 11
In the blink of an eye, two years passed. During that time, I worked my way up from a regular operations role to operations director.I worked for a company focused on social media content about local lifestyles and partnered with a roster of food and travel influencers online. I led a small team in visiting eight counties and cities along Sable River, documenting traditional cuisine and historic architecture hidden in old streets and alleys. I developed content ideas and wrote scripts for the influencers, helping transform overlooked local heritage into videos that reached millions of viewers.Last year, I led the planning of a series focused on the historic towns along Sable River, and one of the online influencers I worked with gained 600,000 followers through it. It also led the local tourism bureau to approach us about a potential collaboration and landed us a spot on the local news.I got two raises. I wasn't making a fortune, but every cent was money I'd earned myself, and

Zayne's POVTiana paid me back in full a month later.As soon as the money hit my account, I deleted all her contact details and burned everything in my room that had anything to do with her.The next morning, I arrived at work and placed my resignation letter on the HR manager's desk. He glanced at it, looking slightly surprised. "Why so sudden? Have you found a better opportunity elsewhere?""Yes, I'm moving back to the south."I grew up in the south, near Sable River, and was accustomed to damp springs and long, mild autumns. I had moved to the north with Tiana after she told me Bellevue offered more opportunities, carrying nothing but two suitcases. I thought home was wherever she was, so I didn't mind the dry weather or the food I wasn't used to, yet even after 11 years in Bellevue, I still couldn't get used to the dry climate. I suffered from chapped lips every fall, and I got chilblains on my fingers every winter. I didn't even like my current job much, but I stuck with

Third-Person's POVTiana stood on the steps, watching Zayne's figure gradually fade into the passing traffic. She stood there, motionless, for a long while. She still had the folded settlement papers in her coat pocket, their edges frayed from how hard she'd gripped them.They had certainly quarreled before, but Zayne had never left with such absolute finality.Whenever an argument ended with him carrying his suitcase to the entrance, he always paused at the threshold. He would stall, waiting for her to say something. If she stayed silent, he would haul the suitcase right back in and say with a resigned smile, "You're so headstrong. Who else could put up with you besides me, Tiana?"She had assumed he would always be there for her, no matter what she did. She was wrong this time—Zayne wasn't going to wait for her again.She heard a racket right from the hallway when she returned to the apartment. She saw Wade screaming at the top of his lungs, the door half ajar, with a middle

Zayne's POVThe next morning, a string of vibrations from my phone jolted me awake. I saw a news notification pop up on the screen. Bellevue University had issued an official announcement. Tiana's appointment as a faculty member had been canceled. A disciplinary notice was broadcast across the campus network, and the university would temporarily withhold both her PhD diploma and degree certificate.Wade's qualification for the national-level project was formally canceled too. He was also barred from applying for any research projects for three years because of academic misconduct found in his application materials.Wade started a live stream a few minutes later. He spoke tremblingly, his eyes completely bloodshot. "I earned those projects on my own merits; I never relied on anyone… Those claims online are completely made up to frame me…"He eventually broke down in tears.Half of the commenters were comforting him, while the other half were cursing him out.Wade turned to look

Throughout the ensuing week, Tiana made no moves to pay me back. She even posted a photo of her marriage certificate with Wade on her social media account, captioned, "We're in the right, we're legally married, and we're perfect for each other."I stared at the caption for a long while until the phone screen automatically dimmed.A mixed range of opinions surfaced in the comment section as well."Hold on! Tiana and Wade are legally married? Have we been blaming the wrong person this whole time?""It seems like the ex is the one who won't take a hint and back off! They're legally married, for crying out loud! What is he even throwing a fit for?""You'd better get your facts straight! He dated her for 11 years! He was the actual partner who got cheated on! You can't just claim total innocence just because you went out and registered your marriage!"Those two conflicting camps ripped into one another. Before long, notifications went off like crazy on my phone, bringing a new influx

A few minutes later, my phone rang again. Tiana was calling. "Do you really have to be so ruthless, especially after everything we've shared all these years, Zayne?"I couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You're the one who cheated on me first, Tiana. I'm only telling everyone the truth. What's wrong with that?"Tiana fell silent for a long time, with only the faint sound of her breathing coming through the phone. She spoke up just as I was about to hang up, saying, "I watched the surveillance footage, so I know Wade is the one in the wrong here.""And?""I'm sorry. I shouldn't have blamed you before getting the full story. I didn't think Wade was capable of this…" Tiana paused briefly before continuing, "Wade is still the father of my unborn child, though. I can't just leave him to fend for himself, Zayne—"I instantly cut her off. "What's the purpose of this call, Tiana?"Tiana replied softly, "C-Can you post a clarification online, saying that we broke up amicably, Wade
