It's Easy to Fall Out of Loveย ย ย Chapter 10
I only wanted to scare Bryan away.But I hadn't expected that the ever-arrogant business tycoonโwho had never once looked at me properlyโwould drop to his knees without hesitation at my words.I spoke before he could kneel. "Even if you beg me, I won't take you back. Bryan, the real obstacle between us is that I don't love you anymore. Thank you for helping me realizeโI've emptied my heart of you."As I brushed past him, his face turned ashen.I dragged my suitcase out the door and caught sight of a familiar figure lingering beneath the trees. The sunlight bathed him in warmth, making the scene feel almost surreal.Meeting my questioning gaze, Luke hesitated for a long moment before mumbling, "What a coincidence. I was just passing by and thought the view here looked nice, so I stopped for a bitโฆ"Even he couldn't keep up the lie. With a sheepish shrug, he admitted, "Alright, fine. I was worried about you, so I waited outside on purpose."I couldn't help but laugh.Tentatively,

I thought I had made myself perfectly clear.But Bryan still refused to sign the divorce papers.Luke said he would try to talk some sense into him, but I should be prepared for the worstโthat I might have to wait out the two-year separation period before the divorce could be finalized.So, on a weekday when I knew he wouldn't be home, I quietly returned to our house to pack my things.I had just emptied out the closet when I heard the front door unlock.Bryan had come home early.And he wasn't alone.I heard a girl's saccharine, whining voiceโso cloying it sent a chill down my spine."Bryan, don't abandon me, okay? You used to be so good to meโฆ It's all that old hag Lydia's fault. What's so great about her anywayโ"A sharp slap rang through the air, cutting her off mid-sentence.Peggy froze.So did I.Had Bryanโฆ just hit her?The man standing in the entryway was tall and imposing, his voice laced with unmistakable fury."She's a thousand timesโno, ten thousand times bett

"He regrets it. But this time, I won't give him another chance." Luke's voice was calm and steady.He had always liked meโeight years, even knowing I didn't feel the same. I had always known, and I had always been touched by it.Now, under his gaze, my heart skipped a little faster.But when he leaned in, just inches away, about to kiss meโI pulled back.The alcohol hummed through my veins, but I forced myself to stay clear-headed."Give me a little time, okay?" I said. "Let me sort through my feelings first. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to you."I had spent eight years loving Bryan, a man who never loved me back. Every step had been walking on thin ice.I couldn't let Luke, someone so good, go through the same pain I had.He didn't move away. We were still close enough that I could feel the warmth of his breath on my skin. He studied me for a moment, then smiled and nodded."I'll wait."Instead of pressing further, he simply kissed my forehead gently.The next morning at

After several online meetings, this new potential investor company had been more than satisfied with my proposal.But the moment Bryan arrived, everything changed. They backtracked, nitpicking every little thing. Worse, the executives kept pouring me drink after drink, pushing me into an impossible corner.I was a mess.And Bryan? He lounged back in his chair, one leg crossed over the other, watching the spectacle unfold with a quiet smirk.He was waiting. Waiting for me to cave, for me to whisper, "I was wrong," to coax and plead like I always had. The moment I did, he'd step in like a savior. That was the game.But I refused to play.I downed several drinks, barely made it to the restroom in time to throw up, then splashed cold water on my face. By the time I returned, I was steadier.I drank when they wanted me to drink, smiled when they wanted me to smile, and when it came time to talk business, my mind was as clear as crystal.Businessmen chase profits. They knew my prop

Just as I was about to greet them, Peggy let out a cold snort."Can't we get someone else? I don't want to work with a woman who seduces clients."The room fell into a stunned silence before whispers broke out among the staff.Because Bryan had never acknowledged me publicly, I had spent years hiding our marriage just to keep him happy. But now, hearing Peggy say this, I could feel the shift in the way people looked at me."Mr. Millan and his assistant seem like a real couple. Could Lydia actually be the mistress?""I don't think so. She's good at her job, and she's always been decent. I don't buy it.""Why not? If the client says so, it must be true. It's obvious that Mrs. Millan doesn't like Lydia. Can't you see that?"Mrs. Millan, huh? They all assumed Peggy was his wife and cast me as the homewrecker.Peggy practically glowed with satisfaction, especially at the sound of that title. Meanwhile, Bryan stood there, cold and silent, offering no explanation. Not a single word

Luke didn't hesitate. With a polite nod of acknowledgment, he turned and led me away.Behind us, Bryan's voice exploded in fury. "What kind of game are you playing this time? Bringing another man here just to make me jealous? Fine, Lydia, go ahead. Try it. Take one more step, and I swearโI'll divorce you for real."It was the second time he'd brought up divorce.When was the first?Oh, right. It was the time I'd begged him, yet again, to make our relationship public. He refused. I had no choice but to secretly grab his phone, intending to post a single photo of us together.I hadn't even finished typing the caption when he snatched the phone from my hands, turning on me in an instant."I'm never making this public. If you can't deal with that, we can get a divorce."Back then, losing Bryan had felt like an unbearable pain.I had been terrified. I fell to my knees in tears, apologizing over and over, swearing I'd never force him again.Only then did he let it go.But now?Hea
