Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 47: Hallucinating
♞ Adrian: He spared me a glance, and clicked his tongue. “You reek of alcohol and I don't like the smell of them.” He complained. “By tomorrow my car would be smelling just like you… alcohol and whiskey.” A visible frown curved up my brows, “Are you calling me a drunk?” He didn't even look at me as he answered, “Well, perhaps you didn't realize but right now you reek so much of it that you could be taken as one.” I was about to say something, but then a sharp pang seared through my head, silencing me. I pressed my lips into a thin line and instead laid my head back in the headrest of the passenger seat. “Talk back at me this way when I'm fully sober later today.” Dmitri simply chuckled and kept driving. When we finally reached my place, Dmitri pulled into the gate and turned to me as he pulled the car to a stop, “Are you sure you can make it inside?” I scoffed, pushing the car door open and stepping outside, “I’m not a child, Dmitri.” “Could have fooled m

♛ Aurora: “So what would you like to have? Tea to calm your nerves? Coffee to make you stronger for the day, or just the usual yogurt?” Trish asked the moment I walked inside the kitchen. I glanced down at the time in my wristwatch, it was already 10 A.M. I had slept in and she didn't bother to wake me up at all. “I'm not hungry, Trish. I'll have just water. And besides I'm already late.” I said as I walked past her and headed straight to the refrigerator. “Oh, no, no, no. You would not be leaving this house until you have something. Water would not be enough to put you through the day. I made some pancakes and there’s honey over there. If you aren't hungry for pancakes, that's completely fine. There’s bacon and eggs too. If you don't want all that, that's fine, but then you'll have toast instead.” She drew out the last statement with a smile. I shook my head and brought out water from the refrigerator. I could clearly tell what Trish was trying to do, to take my mind
Last Updated : 2025-04-07Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back Notice!!!
Hello, dear readers. I wanted to address a change that's affecting this story's format. My editor recently reached out to me about the length of my chapters, and we've decided to break them up into smaller sections to make them more manageable, and more affordable for you. This means that some of you may notice changes to the chapter structure, especially if you've been keeping up with the latest updates. ✦ WHAT'S HAPPENING? I've spent the past few days reorganizing some of my longer chapters, which were over 2,000 words. These revised chapters are currently under review by my editor. As a result, you may notice some previously uploaded chapters being divided into two. The content wouldn't change, just the structure! ✦ MY SINCERE APOLOGY AND EXPLANATION. I understand this change might affect your reading experience, especially if you've been following the story closely. I truly apologize for any confusion or inconvenience. Please know that this decision was made to improve

♛Aurora:Her words hit me straight in my chest. I glanced up at her, and the question worrying and wrapping itself around my heart slipped out. “And what if I can’t?” Her eyes softened even more, and she smiled, squeezing my hand again. “Then I’ll be right here, reminding you until you can.” I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear that until the words left her lips. I swallowed the lump in my throat, nodded, and took another bite of my pancake. I ate slowly. Trish watched me with a pointed expression, arms still crossed over her chest like she was ready to pounce if I dared to stop. It was both endearing and slightly frustrating, but I knew she meant well. I swallowed the last bite of pancake and pushed the tray slightly forward. “There. Happy now?” I asked, wiping my mouth with a napkin. “Ecstatic,” she replied, her lips twitching into a bright smile. “Now, go get ready for the day.” She said as she brushed her fingers through her disheveled hair. “Your hair look

♛Aurora: The message kept ringing continuously in my head, even as I got into my car and drove down the street. Even as I stopped my car in front of the cafe and walked down the curb, entering inside it. Even as I spotted Adrian sitting by one of the seats close to the window. But the moment he looked up at me, all my fears somehow settled away from me, and I pushed back everything sitting down on me to the back of my head as I approached his seat by the window. I pressed my lips into a thin line, and kept walking further. The smell of warm coffee filled my nostrils. Adrian straightened slightly when I reached his table, his dark eyes searched mine. “Rory,” he called out to me carefully. “Adrian.” I sat down across from him, folding my hands in my lap. My fingers were trembling, so I pressed them against my thighs. My heart raced against my chest, in a way I didn't want it to. I looked up at him again, and it was at that moment I finally saw him. The dark circles under

♞Adrian: My world cracked apart in a single, slow horrifying second. My whole body turned still, and my head went blank for a moment, like I was refusing to accept the sight in front of me. A pang steered through my head, punching every single nerve of mine as my brain slowly processed what was in front of me. No, no. Fuck no! Rory. My wife. My life lay on the cold floor. The scream ripped through my throat before I even knew what was happening. One second, she was there. The next…she wasn’t. The car sped off almost immediately, tires screeching against the asphalt. I didn’t see the license plate. Didn’t care to check, but it had crossed my mind. My entire attention was directed to the petite figure laying on the floor. My feet were already moving, my chest tightening, my lungs barely pulling in air as I ran toward her crumpled body. “Rory!” Her name was the only thing that existed for me at that moment. It clawed its way out of my throat, over and over a
Last Updated : 2025-04-08Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 52. Just Save Her
♞Adrian:“But what?” I heard myself whisper. He took a step back, “The impact of the hit caused severe trauma, and there's an internal bleeding. We are really doing everything we can at the moment…” his words trailed. “Just save her.” My voice was rough. “Please.” He inhaled deeply, and let out a breath fixing the collar of his shirt. “She might not make it.” The world tilted, and for the first time since that car hit her, I felt myself break. “No.” The word came out hoarse, almost inaudible. “No, that’s not… she’s going to make it. She has to.” The doctor sighed, his eyes were filled with something that looked too close to pity, and it made me want to punch a hole through the wall. “We’ll certainly do everything we can, but I have to prepare you for the possibility that…” his words trailed as I interrupted him. “Don’t.” I shook my head, holding back the urge to do something to the doctor. Because what in the world does he mean by she wouldn't make it? “Don’t fucking

♞ Adrian: I sat down alone in the hallway, eyes rooted to the red lights of the emergency room. Hoping, praying and patiently waiting for a doctor or a nurse to step out and tell me everything was going to be alright soon, or else I knew I would lose my mind the more the second ticked by. It’s been almost two fucking hours and none of them had stepped out to tell me what was going on inside. My fingers tapped slowly. Inhale. Exhale. Breathe in. Breathe out, and I rested my head on the wall, looking up at the ceiling. The rushed footsteps in the hallway pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned my head to look up just as the footsteps drew closer to where I was seated. Christian walked ahead of them. But he wasn’t alone. Right behind him was Dmitri, his sharp eyes scanning the hallway and landing right on me. Leon and Trish followed, and my stomach tightened at the sight of all of them here. “What happened, man?” Dmitri was the first to ask as he walked over to where I was.

Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 86. Figure It Out
♞ Adrian: I wasn't sure what got into me. Perhaps the fact that I've been sending messages to Rory consistently for the past three days and she didn't answer any of them. She didn't even open it so I at least know she saw them but didn't have an answer yet. I couldn't go to her office, because she said she needed space. And that meant she didn't want to see me. All I could do was send messages like an asshole, but she didn't respond to them. And somehow I found myself deliberately following the road to her apartment on my way to work instead of following the shorter road and getting to work fast. I packed my car across the street and looked up from the screen of my phone, my gaze trailed over to her apartment. It was already 2PM so it was only wishful thinking that I assumed I'd see her at home by this time of the day. I stared at the window to her apartment, even though I couldn’t see past the closed curtains. It didn’t matter. I wasn’t really expecting her to be home. I jus
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 85. Should I Be?
♛ Aurora: My heels crunched on the gravel as I made my way towards the small crowd forming around the scaffolding near the eastern side of the site. The workers looked up to meet my eyes the closer I got. Their heads turned in my direction as I approached. The conversation they were having was hushed and I could barely hear them clearly, but what I couldn't miss was the serious tone in their voices. A few men had taken off their hard hats, while a few were simply wiping sweat that trickled down their faces. Some of them looked pale. The strong smell of dust and concrete lingered in the breeze, and just beneath it, there was a stronger metallic smell. I looked up at the scaffold building that just crashed, and fear slowly creeped into my heart as I slowed into a stop. “It's so bad,” Bonnie pointed out from behind me as she stopped walking too. I was beyond shocked and scared to respond to her words. I clutched the strap of my bag tighter and pressed my lips together
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 84. Building Collapse
♛ Aurora: “Oh My God. I'm not even surprised! I told you from the start that I absolutely do not trust her at all!” Mia said in a displeased tone. I released a deep breath, recalling the severe number of times she had seriously wanted me to be careful with Bonnie. But I hadn't listened. I needed someone effective back then and Bonnie was exactly what I wanted. So I hadn't even thought about the consequences at all. I easily trusted her when she displayed her clean ways of handling situations and making my work a little easier for me. “Yeah, I remember when you were warned me about her,” I said, tracing a path along the pocket of my pants as the car drove past the bustling city of New York. “But you didn't listen. Now see.” “I did listen, Mia. I just couldn't let a good employee go just because you had a bad feeling about her.” I said down the line. “Well, the signs were from the start that she’s not someone to be trusted.” “If a lot of employers simply removed their workers j
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 83. Go After Her
♞ Adrian: Leon didn’t say a word. Nothing at all. He didn’t move either. Not even an inch. The only sign he’d even heard me was the slight widening of his eyes. For a moment, we just stared at each other. I ran my fingers through my thick dark hair, because the longer it took to say a word, the more the turmoil in my head swallowed me slowly. Because what on earth do I do? Most importantly, how do I tell Rory? I sighed, when would this space she needs be okay? I don't even know. Finally, Leon let out a slow breath and leaned back into the couch like everything I said were finally settling in. “Say something,” I muttered roughly, fighting back the urge to run a finger through my hair and tug it. He scrubbed a hand down his face. “You’re serious about this?” he raised a brow and asked, like he was hoping I would say it was all a joke. Honestly I wish it was. It wasn’t a question. I nodded once, and tight. “Jesus Christ, Adrian.” Leon dropped his head back aga
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 82. Warn A Girl
Chapter 82 Aurora: Her question was so sudden and completely random from the conversation we had been talking about, that I was caught off guard for a moment. Trish’s brows were squinted tightly as she waited for a response from me. After a quiet moment I finally answered with a shake of my head, “Work.” “Work?” She didn't look like she believed me but after a while she nodded, “Alright. I made dinner before falling asleep earlier. Have you eaten?” she asked, completely changing the topic, and I felt light hearted that she did, because I wanted to get my mind off the message. I shook my head and let out a breath. I had been so occupied that I didn't eat anything today. I doubt I would have even been able to eat anything with the way my stomach has been tied in knots since morning. “I haven't,” I answered, before asking, “What did you make?” I turned around and made my way down the hallway, before making a turn and walking over to the kitchen, with Trish trailing right behind me.
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 81. Scared
♛ Aurora: “The simplest misunderstanding could crack even the strongest of relationships. At times it's just better to let things go than go round and round. Rough.” My heart dropped to my stomach when I read the first message. I staggered on my footsteps as I rushed out of my room, hitting my shoulders on the wall but hardly feeling any pain as I turned down the hallway and rushed towards Trish’s room. Before I could get there another message came in, and this time it stopped me dead in my tracks. “Did you ever try to find out the person behind the wheels? Not your accident. I mean, hit and run with your mom, or don't you think it’s important to seek justice for her dead poor soul?” The last sentence felt like a bucket of water had been splashed on my face, as it knocked me back to the image of my mother being rushed to the hospital with blood on her clothes, her face, her fingers. There was blood everywhere. My fingers gripped my phone tightly, trying to hold myself back to t
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 80. Slice And Shots
♞ Adrian: I wasn’t planning to stop. I had every intention of driving straight home, taking a long-ass shower, and figuring out what the hell I was going to do to make things right with Rory. But the next thing I knew, my hands had turned the wheel and my car rolled to a halt in front of Leon’s place. My phone buzzed in my pants, and I stepped out of the car, closing the door shut behind me before I brought the phone out and checked who was calling. I halted in my steps when I noticed it was Christian. I slid the answer button before pressing the phone to my ear, “What's it?” I asked the moment I answered. There was shuffling from the other end, before he finally spoke out, “I got in touch with the guy for the tracking.” I ran my fingers through my hair and released a deep breath before asking, “And what’s the update on it?” Christian didn't answer immediately, and after a long quiet moment he finally answered, “I'll text you the details in five minutes.” “Alri
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 79. New Number
♛ Aurora: “I can't do this,” I whispered, more to myself, but loud enough for him to hear me. I couldn't even concentrate on driving while I was on my way home. And it was all because of him. To make it all worse, Lucy's attempt at planting seeds of doubts in my head had somehow worked. I couldn't think. My heart felt like it was being shredded into tiny pieces, and it tore me apart. I was so tired of all this. And despite all the love I had in my heart for him, it was a pity that he didn't trust our love so much to be able to completely be honest with me. What on earth could he be keeping to himself that wasn't worth me knowing? Nothing, absolutely nothing serious. The only ever thing that had tore me apart in my years of living was my parents' death, because they left me all alone. Second to that was my divorce with Adrian. And third, was the child I lost. There was nothing else he could say that could destroy me so much that it would break our very fragile relations
Love Rewritten: Chasing Her Back 78. Panic And Heartaches
♞ Adrian: I scrubbed my hands over my face, fingers digging into my eyes until I saw stars. My phone sat on the passenger seat, and I glanced at it, fingers itching to pick it up and call again. The last call had gone unanswered. The one before that too. I’d sent her a message. And it was simple, stupid, and fucking desperate. ‘I’m outside. Can we talk? I just need five minutes.’ Nothing back. I glanced through the car glasses, and my gaze fell on the windows of her house. Maybe she wasn’t home. Or she was and she’d seen my message and rolled her eyes and tossed her phone into a drawer. God, I wouldn’t blame her. I was parked across from her house, my car engine off, with my hands gripping the steering wheel. I had brushed my fingers through my hair countless times that it was all disheveled. My fingers tapped on the steering wheel, searching for something to keep my concentration in check. It didn’t work. I was still unraveling. She hadn’t answered my calls. I co
