If I Knew I Loved You

I began tidying up the room and noticed Caleb's birthday present sitting in a corner. Since I hadn't given it to him, I tossed it into a rubbish bin. Every year, I always prepared a birthday present for Caleb. But every time, he would find an excuse and hide at a church. Caleb claimed that since he had devoted himself to religion, he would renounce all earthly desires and no longer celebrate his birthday. However, a picture of Caleb and Julie would always surface on Instagram at exactly midnight. He never hid his hostility toward me and always seemed ready to provoke me. His cruelty had become a part of my life. But now, I was finally free. After shipping my luggage, I headed to the office to process my resignation. Mary Smith, my ex-colleague in the HR Department, thought I had chosen to resign because I couldn't stand the pressure. She kindly told me that the church located on the west side of the city would be quite effective in improving my luck.Mary and I had worked to

I decided to bring Dad's urn with me to the Reed family's dinner. It had been seven days since he passed away. I decided to scatter his ashes into the sea once the dinner was over. After his death, Dad's soul could freely explore the world and go wherever he liked. But I never expected Julie to show up as well. She and Caleb sat next to each other at the table. Neither of them even bothered to look up at me. I set the urn on the table, causing Caleb's expression to twist with displeasure. But it was Julie who spoke first. "Natasha, why'd you bring that urn? Are you trying to make everyone here uncomfortable?"Mrs. Reed has always been good to you. But look at what you've done. You purposely brought the urn to make all of us uneasy."Caleb scowled too. "Natasha, throw that thing away. I'll pretend I never saw it."I smirked mockingly. "Sorry. Can't do that."Caleb raised his voice. "What's wrong with you lately? If you continue being so arrogant, I'll really divorce you!"Cal

"You said that I'm the one you love the most. But half of your properties are under Natasha's name. Caleb, do you love me or the version of you who's madly in love with me?" Caleb subconsciously clenched his fists as he met Julie's reddened eyes. Any comforting words he wanted to say seemed to be stuck in his throat. "For the sake of your dignity, you'd never make the first move to divorce Natasha. I had no choice but to come up with a plan. I had to create some kind of conflict so you two would never reconcile."The best plan I could come up with was to provoke Mr. King so his condition would worsen and hide the news of his death from you."Julie's smile turned twisted. "That way, you can only belong to me."She grabbed Caleb's wrist hard enough to leave marks on his skin. "Finally, you and Natasha are getting divorced. Caleb, when shall we have our wedding?" At that moment, Caleb saw how far gone Julie really was. He finally knew that the version of her right now was her tru

I didn't even have to look back. I knew it was Caleb. I stood at the same spot and did not move. Frederick realized I wasn't pleased, so he instinctively stood in front of me. "Natasha, who is he?" Caleb's voice trembled slightly. He wanted to reach out and grab my wrist, but Frederick held him back tightly. Caleb couldn't even move. "Natasha!" Caleb yelled again. "I know you still hate me, but I know better now. It's all my fault. I ended things with Julie that day. "I wanted to seek you out immediately, but that crazy Julie refused to let me go. Not only did she leak the video of me breaking up with her, but she even made a report to the regulatory authorities about our company's internal accounts."I already heard about all that from Mary. The company was in a mess for days, leaving the employees feeling uneasy. Many employees asked to resign, and business partners canceled collaborations to avoid any risk.The company's market value dropped drastically. Caleb had worked t
