Chapter 7 Friend At Work

작가: Grey Quill
Yvonne and I went on a trip to the countryside. Once Winona was out of my life, I started finding my way back to who I used to be. I woke up from my dream. I could think for myself again and could seek out the things I once lost.

Yvonne was cheering like a bird that got out of its cage. She was always this happy, lively girl. She was always smiling whenever she was around me. Oddly, that reminded me of something.

"She's gentle, quiet, and would never yell at me. She never calls me a fool, a moron, or an imbecile. She never shouts at me or tells me to shut up just because she wants to.

"She listens to me and offers me nothing but kindness. She would never make me feel like I'm all that is wrong with her life."

It was liberating. Liberating? That was something I never knew. I was a little scared of it as well.

My childhood home had been deserted for years. It was on the verge of crumbling down. We had no choice but to stay at Yvonne's grandmother's.

We cooked with wood and fire, an

  • I Was Never a Worthless Man   Chapter 11 Look Ahead

    Winona left, eventually. Further and further she went, until she was no longer in my line of sight. There was no hatred or fury within me. The only thing was this… void. That encounter took all my strength.And then I heard someone scream. It stunned me for a moment. That scream came from downstairs, and it was getting louder. My heart sank.I ran to the staircase and looked down. A white dress, blooming like a lily in summer. Winona's dress.I couldn't believe my eyes. Yes, she was at fault in this story, but I never wanted to hurt her. I couldn't believe it. A moment ago, she was pleading for a chance, and the next, she leaped off the building.It was barely seconds after she left, and now she was dead. I ran downstairs as fast as my legs could take me.There was already a crowd around the scene, and they were in hushed discussions. With a trembling hand, I took my phone out and called an ambulance. Then another scream came from behind.Yvonne was back, and she saw… this. Qui

  • I Was Never a Worthless Man   Chapter 10 Make a Case for Herself

    Winona was looking at me, the pain in her eyes almost palpable. "I had no idea… I had no idea he would do that to you. I…" She paused. She probably had more to say, but she did not have enough courage to continue.Coldly, I interrupted, "Enough. It's well past the point of apologies or explanations."That finally made her cry. "Please, he lied to me! I swear! While you were gone, I… I thought about it, and I realized… I realized how wrong I was. Please don't leave me. Please! I…"Her voice started to crack, and she started to sob.I had no sympathy for her. My body and soul were freezing up. My blood grew cold. So what if she had seen the error of her ways? So what if she was repenting? I couldn't care less about her love. Her guilt. Not when it didn't matter anymore.We could never go back."Leave and never come back. I never want to see you again."That made Winona freeze. She didn't believe it. She couldn't believe it. I looked at her, and for some reason, I was… forlorn.Wi

  • I Was Never a Worthless Man   Chapter 9 She Pleads

    I thought my new life could begin, but life decided to throw another wrench in my plans.Claude's scheme ran deeper and wider than I first thought. I thought he only wanted to take my place or steal Winona away from me, but I was wrong. I underestimated him.His ambitions were bigger than I imagined. Claude got to know some… rich investors when he was in the middle of information gathering. He gave them intel about my company through Winona.This whole scheme was a big chess game. With or without Claude, those investors would attack my company. Their plan was never to help Claude take Winona.Their prey had always been money. My father eventually called me and told me to go back home. He would not allow any protest on my side.…When I got back home, my father was already in his study, stern and solemn. I noticed unfamiliar faces around him, and the air was filled with tension. My father looked at me and asked coldly, "This is what you made of yourself? After years of training?"

  • I Was Never a Worthless Man   Chapter 8 Unexpected Visitor

    I thought she was tired. It had been a long day, after all.However, she broke the silence, asking, "Do you still have feelings for Winona?"This wasn't her usual self. I could hear a hint of nervousness in her voice. I gripped the steering wheel tightly, my eyes focused on the road ahead of me. My mind was fishing for memories I was trying to forget.And I smiled. "We're done. We've been done for a while now."Yvonne looked at me. There was something swirling in her eyes, then she put on a relaxed act. "It's a waste, if you ask me. Five years. You're just going to let it go?"I said nothing for a while and took a deep breath. Like I said, I'd be lying if I said I had no feelings after going through five years. Still, that didn't matter if my love was poured to the wrong person.I did not want to talk about Winona. I did not want to take a trip down the memory lane I never wanted to visit.The street lamps on the road zipped by us like comets. Yvonne said nothing more.Winona,

  • I Was Never a Worthless Man   Chapter 6 Persistent Woman

    I was packing up when my phone rang again. An unknown number. I stared at it for a while and ultimately decided not to take the call. My phone kept ringing. And ringing. And ringing.And ringing.I would snap at this rate. I knew who the caller was, and after the fifth ring, it stopped.A moment of silence later, someone rang the doorbell. I frowned and checked the visitor through the peephole—Winona. Who else could it be?She was tired, and her finger was numb from ringing the doorbell. I could see the worry in her eyes.I opened the door, and she looked at me. Emotions were spilling out of her eyes. "Why did you move out, Nathaniel? Why did you hide from me?"Her voice was shaking—perhaps from rage, or perhaps from something else. Either way, I looked at her icily. "Hiding from you? I told you, we're done. I made it very clear, in case you missed it."She did not expect my less-than-warm attitude. For a moment, she froze up, and then her eyes went red. "You'd always try to che
