“I am sorry but I can no longer do this anymore” And by this I mean this Relationship. You have been too busy for me and I feel you appreciate your work more than you do me and I do not deserve that. So I think it’s best we end this now.
I stared at him while he ripped my heart to pieces throwing all our memories away and goingaway on the basis of “me being too busy” I just want to be the CEO how is that being too busy.
It’s been One Month since Brian left without looking back. It has been hard but yet I have been healing and working through it. Thankful for work that has been a great source of distraction. Everybody has heard of the breakup and although I know they have questions but I like the fact that nobody has choose to say anything about it they are just walking on eggshells around me and I think I actually appreciate that because I am not ready to confront those feelings at all.
Eight years of commitment,8 years of good memories. We have been together since College where we met at business school. Brian walked into the class being the golden boy and all and naturally I was immediately attracted to him because him being the golden boy I had to keep my cool because he will definitely be flocked by different girls and even though I was the daughter of one of the top conglomerates in business still did not take away my shyness.
Was ready to hide my feelings until we were paired for an assignment and then we started talking I do not know if to call it fate or coincidence but it was a beautiful love story from then on till we graduated and started working. I even helped set him up in a position in my dads business and everyone in my family loved him and we were planning for wedding till this bombshell.
I have always wanted to be the CEO of DREAMSPACE. I am currently the CFO but as rights of the only daughter and child to My parents I will say I am the rightful heir but I didn’t want that to be that situation I wanted everyone to see that I worked for that position and it did not just come from being “daddy’s little princess” because they all called me that and I will not deny I was a bit spoilt from my parents but I was still hardworking and also very determined to do it on my own.
For the past few months I will admit I have been quite busy with my job because I feel the time is coming near as my dad (The current CEO) is getting older and wants to retire although I know the main reason is so he can spend more time with his wife ( My mother) such an obsessed man and I love it for them. I want a love like theirs and I love my parents for raising me with so much love In their hearts and doing everything for me. My parents are my role models.
Brian was a dream come true and I thought I will finally get my Happy ending but he comes with “I have been you busy” what does that even mean? And he knows how I desperately wanted ceo position and all my dreams. I really thought he was supportive. I actually been feeling so sad but I refuse to confront those feelings.
It is a new day today and I am off to work to be busy again. I moved back to my parents house because I do not want to be alone and I basically lived with Brian because we all thought it was endgame. Even I thought so too oh well.
Frankly speaking I barely enjoy my interactions at work but I just have to suck up to it. I only have my “work bestie” she is my personal assistant but she has become a close friend and confidant to me also. Angela is such a beautiful soul though i have noticed she also has been walking on eggshells around me since the break up happened and frankly I appreciate it but I just still want her to say something about it probably that will be the breaking point for me to finally let me say all I have been feeling.
I get to work for another gloomy day to catch up and try my best so I can be seen as worthy for the CEO position finally. Less than few minutes I get to work I get a call from my actual Bestie Katy, she is a lifestyle influencer and a traveler. We have not caught up in a while due to my whole ghosting of everyone and trying to “heal”. So it does not come to a surprise when she asks about Brian but this time and first time since it happened I can finally admit “We broke up” and without tears or me breaking down into tears. That is progress I think ? Well she screams a lot of profanity and with various threats of wanting to “kill him” but I know it will be hard on her too because they were very close and she will be having to choose who to submit her loyalty to.
The call goes off after me asking about her work and diverting the whole break up topic and she giving me updates on her new “flavor” for the week during her travels but she ends with a promise to visit soon and I appreciate the call.
Angela comes to call me for a meeting in the boardroom and I am surprised because I was not expecting any meeting so but I pack my things and go either ways.
I step into the room and go take my seat and that is what when I do notice HIM sitting across me. What is He doing here ?

In the name of vows CHAPTER 110
Chapter 110Adrian’s pov Life did not become fairy tale perfect after the wedding.It became honest.That was the difference.The world finally felt calm and it seemed like all the things we went through has been a long time ago.Christine stood by the tall window of their bedroom, the soft fabric of her dress brushing against her legs as she adjusted the cuff absentmindedly. Below them, the city glowed in its usual busy, alive, uncaring settings. It was the same city that had once felt like a battlefield and now simply felt like home.The room around her carried the quiet marks of shared living. A book Adrian had left open on the bedside table. Her laptop bag resting against the chair. A framed photo from their second wedding, not posed or polished it was just them laughing, mid moment.She caught her reflection in the glass.She looked calm.Not guarded. Not braced.Just settled.“Are you ready?” Adrian asked softly.She turned.He stood near the door, straightening his cufflinks,
In the name of vows CHAPTER 109
Chapter 109Christine’s povI thought I would feel calm.After everything we had survived, after all the hard conversations and quiet rebuilding, I truly believed this day would come with peace instead of nerves.I was wrong.My hands shook as Angela helped me button the simple dress I had chosen. No heavy lace. No dramatic train. Just soft fabric that felt like me. Like the woman I had become, not the girl I once was.“You’re pacing again,” Angela said gently, smiling at me through the mirror.“I can’t help it,” I replied, laughing under my breath. “I feel like my heart is trying to leave my body.”She stepped closer and rested her hands on my shoulders. “That’s not fear,” she said. “That’s honesty.”“And that’s being in love !” Katy shouted from the other end.Before I could respond, the door creaked open softly.My mother stepped inside.She paused when she saw me, one hand lifting to her chest as her eyes filled instantly. For a moment, she didn’t say anything. She just looked at
In the name of vows CHAPTER 108
Chapter 108Adrian’s povThe idea of a second wedding still felt unreal to me.Not in a bad way. Just quiet. Like something precious I didn’t want to touch too roughly in case it disappeared.Christine was in the bedroom, folding clothes with care, like every movement mattered. We had not officially moved everything back yet, but she had been staying longer and longer. Sleeping beside me again. Waking up without walls between us. It felt harmonious, like a melody we had once known and were slowly relearning.I watched her from the doorway for a moment and felt something loosen in my chest.“Let’s go away for the weekend,” I said suddenly.She looked up. “Where?”“The lake house.”She paused. Not tense. Just thoughtful.“That place holds a lot,” she said.“I know,” I replied. “That’s why.”She nodded slowly. “Okay.”The drive there was calm. No heavy music. No forced conversation. Just us, sharing the space, the road stretching ahead like it wasn’t in a hurry either.When we arrived, t
In the name of vows CHAPTER 107
Chapter 107Christine’s povThe morning sun spilled gently through the curtains as Christine and Adrian stepped out of the car in front of her parents’ house. The place looked exactly the same as it always had been with neat hedges, pale walls, the familiar wind chime hanging by the door and yet Christine felt like she was walking into it as a different person.She paused for a second, her hand still on the car door.Adrian noticed immediately.“Hey,” he said softly, moving closer. “We don’t have to rush.”She looked at him and smiled, though her eyes gave her away. “I know. I just feel this feels big.”“It is,” he agreed. “But it’s also good.”His hand brushed hers, not claiming, not pulling, just offering. Christine took it willingly, squeezing his fingers as if grounding herself in the present.“I’m ready,” she said, even if part of her still trembled.They walked up the familiar path together, their steps in quiet sync. Before Christine could knock, the door opened.Her mother sto

Chapter 106Christine’s povChristine stared out the car window as the city passed by. Her fingers drummed lightly on the steering wheel, though it wasn’t nerves exactly that troubled her but it was the weight of choices. The weight of admitting, finally, that she wanted to try again.The coffee date had left her mind buzzing. Seeing Adrian smile quietly, watching him respect her space, feeling the patience in his presence, it had all reminded her of something she’d almost forgotten: that love could be gentle.Could be steady. Could be trusting.She parked outside their house. Her house. Their home. The words felt strange in her head. After months of distance, months of careful observation, months of deciding whether she could risk letting him back in, she was here.She took a deep breath and opened the car door. The crisp air hit her, and her chest tightened with anticipation. Adrian had been waiting inside, his expression calm but expectant.“Hi,” she said softly, stepping toward th

Chapter 105Christine’s povChristine sat on the edge of her bed, phone in hand, heart hammering. She stared at the blank screen, unsure if she had the courage to type.Coffee. Just to talk. Public place.Her thumb hovered over the keyboard. She swallowed hard. “You can do this,” she whispered to herself. “It’s just coffee. No expectations. Just to talk.”She typed the message, erased it, typed it again. Each time she tried to press send, her nerves flared. The thought of seeing Adrian again while they are alone, quiet, really made her chest tighten.Finally, she hit send. Her phone buzzed almost immediately with a response from him.“Where and when”She responded quickly. Ten minutes Corner cafe on Linden.Her stomach lurched. She had sent ten minutes but it was not enough to fully prepare herself, but enough to remind her that she couldn’t back down now. She grabbed her coat, tried to steady her breathing, and left.At the cafe, Adrian was already there. He sat with his hands folded
