Chapter 7

Author: Against the Flow
“Get away from me!”

Ross shoved her away in a fit of anger.

The force of it left Laurel stunned. He had never treated her this way.

“Ross, what’s going on?”

In the next moment, Laurel's eyes caught sight of the other documents in the envelope.

The most striking part was the photos of her with various men.

There were also medical reports and chat logs where she had conspired with her business partners.

Laurel’s mind went blank after she saw all this.

“Laurel!” Ross gripped the papers tightly, fury burning in his eyes as he glared at her. “Get out! Don’t you ever show your face to me again!”

As he looked at the documents in his hands, the weight of everything—his actions over the past month—hit him like a ton of bricks.

As a boyfriend, a fiancé, he had failed me at my most vulnerable.

He wasn’t just absent during my toughest times—he was the very one who had caused this entire mess.

The realization settled in and suffocated him, making it hard to breat

    The police and ambulance arrived quickly, then Ross and Laurel were rushed to the hospital.Their injuries were severe.Douglas and I stayed at the hospital until Ross's surgery was over and the doctors assured us he was out of danger. Only then did we leave for the hotel.Before we left Fellaton, Douglas went to visit Ross on my behalf. When he returned, he handed me a ring."He said this was your parting gift," Douglas said, looking at the ring with a hint of distaste. "But honestly, it just feels wrong. Can I throw it away?"The ring had been our symbol of commitment years ago, but now, looking at it, I felt nothing. I opened the window, took the ring in my hand, and tossed it out without a second thought. Then I lay down on the bed beside Douglas, exhausted.We left Fellaton and headed to Ameesia.I shared the photos from all the countries I'd visited over the years with my mother, hoping that in some way, in that other world, she could feel the joy we shared.Douglas and I

    Ross was a persistent man. When I saw him again in Fellaton, I was surprised, but deep down, I knew he would come looking for me again. Douglas and I planned to head back to Crannellie. After finishing our global travels, we had decided to settle there. But nobody expected that the night before we were supposed to return, we would encounter a thief at the hotel. Our phones and passports were stolen, and we were forced to stay in Fellaton for a few more days.One day, while Douglas was asleep, I decided to step out and take a walk around the hotel. As soon as I walked out, I ran into Ross.He stood there, looking cautious as he held a bouquet of tulips and a box of pastries in his hands."Jennifer, these are your favorite flowers. I got them for you," he said, offering the tulips. "And I remember you said you liked my brownies, so I made some for you. Try them."I took the flowers, feeling a bit helpless. "Ross, why are you here? What do you want from me? Thank you for the flowe

    There was another man beside me now. Ross stopped in his tracks, his eyes wide with disbelief as he stared at me. His voice shook as he asked, "This is...?" "I'm Jennifer's husband. And you are?" Douglas Hubbert, my husband, shot Ross a look of irritation, already bracing himself to throw a punch if necessary. "Y-you're married?!" Ross couldn't believe it. I almost didn't want to answer him, but then I realized that all of that—everything that had happened—had long faded into the past, like dust blown away by the wind. I nodded. "Yeah, I'm married. I'm happy now." Hearing that, Ross lowered his head, looking completely lost. "Jennifer, I've been searching for you all these years. I want to apologize for everything, for what happened with Diana—" Before he could go on, I cut him off. My mother had been gone for five years. I had been in pain, and I had hated Ross, Laurel, and even myself. But the past was the past. I needed to keep going, no mat

    The day of the wedding arrived, but inside the church, there was only Ross, the groom, and a few of his guests. At this moment, Ross completely panicked. He dialed my number, but it went straight to voicemail. "What's going on with Jennifer? Why isn't she here?" What was supposed to be a wedding had turned into a farce. Laurel watched the scene unfold with a smug grin. "Ross, I don't think Jennifer cares about this wedding at all. A woman like that… she might not even love you. You shouldn't get all worked up because of her. There are so many guests outside. Why don't I step in as the bride? We can just get this ceremony over with," Laurel suggested with a devious smile, hoping to take my place. "Do you think something happened to Jennifer?" Ross was in panic mode. He didn't even hear Laurel's words as he rushed out of the church, leaving a group of guests exchanging confused glances. Laurel gritted her teeth and followed behind. When they got to the house, it w

    "She said she's let you, the boss, and the company down! You should see her performance—it's Oscar-worthy."Listening to my assistant, I finally understood. The reason Ross left wasn't that he had decided to stop wasting his time on me. No, there was something else, someone else in the company who had his full attention, someone he needed to comfort.After hanging up with my assistant, I grabbed my luggage and headed out the door. At that moment, my assistant sent me another video. In it, a tearful Laurel was holding a paper cutter to her neck while Ross, flushed with panic, begged her to put the blade down.Watching their drama unfold on screen, I couldn't help but feel a wave of disgust. Their childish, melodramatic behavior was unbearable.My phone rang—Ross was calling. I answered, and the chaos on the other end hit me immediately."Jennifer, you need to come to the company. Just forgive Laurel and delete your Twitter post, and this whole thing will blow over."I asked with
