My boyfriend, also my childhood sweetheart, is awakened. He realizes he's the male protagonist in a romance novel, and I'm the female side character. He tells me that I'll never leave him according to the plot. So, he's sure that I won't break up with him. He cheats on me with the female protagonist for two years and does everything a couple should do. It's only when I decidedly dump him that he realizes what a dumb plot he's believed in.
View MoreMr. Hoult paused briefly before he started hitting Sean even harder.Sean turned as pale as a ghost. He couldn't stop shaking."Mr. Hoult, I don't care if you want to teach your son a lesson. Even if you hit him to death right here, right now, I won't say a single word."Sean's eyes filled with a look of immense horror before he stumbled to the floor."Daphne…"I spotted a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.At the end of the day, Mr. Hoult did care about Sean. He tried to say something, but Dad stopped him."Edgar, make sure this punk never shows his face in front of my daughter again, or our friendship ends now. I'll do everything within my power to make your lives a living hell."Dad and Mr. Hoult had been friends for decades now, but he was willing to go this far for my sake.It looked like Mr. Hoult had more to say, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He simply apologized to me before taking Sean away.As I stared at the closed door, my tears fell. Someone I h
Just like that, two years' worth of constant effort and labor, those seemingly never-ending days and nights of exhaustion, had been reduced to a joke.I touched my face, instantly drenching my palm with tears.With a sarcastic smirk, I asked Sean, "So? Is that your excuse for cheating on me?"Sean lowered his head, his face turning a little pale. He said, "Cynthia looks so much like you. Plus, the moment I met her, I started getting better. That made me wonder if it was fate."That only made me feel even more scornful.It took an immeasurable amount of dedication and sacrifice to bring about significant progress in the field of medicine, but in Sean's eyes, it was merely a result of the so-called plot of a romance novel.Sean started getting agitated again. He tried to take my hand as he continued, "In the story, your life became a tragedy because you kept trying to pick on Cynthia. I didn't want you to end up like that. That's why I kept trying to stop you."But Daphne, I get i
Cynthia came charging over to us with tear-filled eyes.What a strange sight it had to be to see Sean holding onto me while she held onto him."She doesn't love you anymore, Sean. I don't want to break up with you, either. Haven't we had a happy relationship for the last two years? We love each other!" Cynthia declared.My heart was gripped with sorrow.Two years?I had been out of the country for two years, and their relationship had gone on for two years as well.It turned out that the duration of a relationship had no impact on how strong it was. It took over two decades to build up the foundation of our relationship, but two years was enough time to turn it into ruins.Yet, Sean, who used to constantly worry that I would bully Cynthia, flung her hand off him and scoffed cruelly."We love each other, you say? Who do you think you are? I only paid a bit more attention to you because you look like Daphne. "You're not someone I love. At most, you're just a toy that I've mista
"I don't care about all of that," Sean declared. His eyes reddened, and his voice trembled as he continued, "Did you witness those things yourself?"Immediately, I figured out what he was referring to—his intimate acts with Cynthia.I nodded curtly in response, and all the blood drained out of his face."I was wrong, Daphne. I now realize just how big of a mistake I've been making all along. I'm the one who can't be without you," Sean declared.My expression remained indifferent as I replied, "Not everyone gets to be forgiven just because they recognize the error in their ways. I don't even want to look at you."Sean swayed on his feet. He didn't seem to expect me to respond like that.Even as I headed back to my place, I heard him mumbling to himself, "It's fine. Everything's fine. You can't leave me. You'll definitely come back to me."Considering the state of our relationship now, I couldn't fathom why he was so convinced of that.Either way, it felt like Sean was engrossed
Various variations of the story about me abandoning Sean when he was sick started spreading across the internet.Soon, someone tracked down my identity and unearthed my information. They left scathing remarks and insults on the official websites of both the hospital and my family's company. They even questioned my academic credentials and claimed I was incompetent as a doctor.My reputation took a nosedive, and all of my patients asked to be assigned to someone else.Considering how rapidly the news spread, it was obvious that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes.I took Sean's number out of my blocked contacts and called him. He didn't seem surprised at all to hear from me."Are you the one behind this?" I questioned.After a brief silence, Sean replied, "I simply didn't object to it."I thought my heart had grown numb by now, but it ached in pain anyway. I was so done with myself. I thought I would've been able to stop feeling hurt by now."Sean, don't you feel an
Cynthia cried as she spoke. She even raised her hand to slap me, but Sean stopped her before the slap landed. He had a pained expression, though I couldn't tell whom his heart ached for.Gently rubbing her hand, Sean said, "Don't be mad. I know you're doing it for my sake."His words felt like needles stabbing me in the heart. To help him with his medical condition, I had gone abroad for two years. Even when I was exhausted in every way possible, I dared not take a break. The immense pressure I felt took a toll on my mental health and left irreversible damage on me.Resisting the urge to cry, I asked, "Sean, do you also think I owe you?"Sean stiffened, but he ignored me and coaxed Cynthia into heading to the car first. In spite of her reluctance, she left as instructed.Sean and I were once lovers, but now, there was nothing left for us to say to each other."Daphne, Cynthia works at that hospital. Must you go there too? She… won't be happy if you're her colleague. Can't you go
