Love's Wrong Turn Chapter 10
I stared at the stock transfer agreement, stunned. That investment had to be worth at least tens of thousands—far from "not much."And I understood. This was everything Rowan had. Giving it all to me was his way of showing all the sincerity he had left in him.He looked at me and said with quiet certainty, "Anna, don't worry. I'll take good care of you and Kathy."I married Rowan. We signed the papers. The company placed great importance on our union. They even offered to cover the cost of the wedding banquet, inviting all our colleagues and acquaintances.The wedding day was lively. Everyone offered their blessings.And then, I saw Zach.He stood at a distance, not too far, not too close. But he never stepped into the banquet hall.He just stood there, watching me walk down the aisle with Kathy toward Rowan, his eyes locked on us like a statue carved in sorrow.When Kathy stood on stage and called Rowan "Daddy," planting a kiss on his cheek, I saw Zach's lips twitch into a pai

I found it laughable. I had spent what felt like a lifetime waiting for Zach to say he loved me—and now, only after I no longer loved him, the word finally came so easily to his lips."But I don't love you," I said, looking straight at him, my voice flat and emotionless. It sounded almost cruel.Zach's tears fell silently. He shook his head with a broken smile, somewhere between desperation and disbelief."That's impossible, Anna… How could you not love me? We were together for six years. Don't lie to me. I don't believe it…" His voice cracked. "And Kathy—Kathy must miss me. A child needs her father…"That forced smile stayed plastered on his face, sitting awkwardly against the weight of his unraveling composure.Before he could say more, Kathy burst out of the room and planted herself firmly in front of me."I don't like you either," she said loudly. "I don't want a daddy like you."Zach froze. The smile on his face hardened, then faltered. He stared at us—me and Kathy—as if th

Rowan kept smiling at the photo frame on the table."Anna, you probably don't remember me," he said. "But we actually went to the same high school."He looked at me with quiet seriousness. "These years... I never got married because of you. I've always liked you. I've been waiting for a chance. I don't want to keep interacting with you as just a friend or as just your superior. Could you give me a chance to pursue you?"I didn't respond.Even after picking up Kathy and getting home, his words echoed in my head, leaving me unsettled.Rowan had always liked me? That had to be the biggest joke I'd heard in a while.I did vaguely remember someone with the last name Remington from the class next door in high school. But that boy had been chubby and timid. I think he once asked me a question about homework—said he wanted to get into the same college as me. I'd patiently explained the problem to him, but whatever he'd said back then didn't stick. It disappeared from my mind the moment
Love's Wrong Turn Chapter 7
"That has nothing to do with you! Anna! Tell him—what exactly is our relationship?" Zach snapped.His arrogance made me laugh. For someone like him, admitting to our past in front of someone else was humiliation.My tone remained calm, but firmer than usual. "There's nothing between us. No relationship at all."With that, I took Rowan's hand and walked away.Just before we turned, Rowan cast Zach a deliberate, mocking smile—so unlike the composed, well-mannered man everyone knew.Behind us, Zach clenched his fists so tight I could hear the bones pop. Gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Anna! Keep this up, and I really won't come after you again!"I didn't look back. I walked away with Rowan by my side.At the corner, I quickly let go of his hand, flustered. "I'm sorry about just now," I said, apologizing. "It was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."He shook his head with a smile. "No need to apologize. If I didn't want to help, I wouldn't have done it."There was something more in
Love's Wrong Turn Chapter 6
To give Kathy a better life, I worked during the day and spent the afternoons knitting and making crafts to sell to collectors who came door-to-door. The prices weren't much, but when added up over a month, it was enough. Enough to buy Kathy some milk and some snacks.We'd been in Shaylon City for nearly two weeks when I ran into Zach at the gate of my workplace after I clocked out.In the half month since I'd left him, Kathy and I had experienced a kind of happiness we'd never known before, so much so that the days seemed to pass in a blur. Seeing him again threw me for a moment. It felt like he belonged to a past life.He was standing by a flowerbed, and I had no idea how long he'd been there. Zach was a teacher who always prided himself on appearances. But he had buttoned his shirt wrong and stood there, disheveled, staring at every person walking out of the building.I walked past him without a word, planning to circle around and leave.But the moment he saw me, his eyes lit u
Love's Wrong Turn Chapter 5
Kathy was still little, but she understood everything. All the way there, she clung to me tightly and said, "Mommy, wherever you go, I want to go with you."I kissed her on the cheek, eyes stinging with tears. Hugging her back, I whispered, "Okay. No matter where I go, I will always take you with me."After a full day and night on the train, we arrived in Shaylon City.My company director had already contacted the local unit here and let them know I'd be coming. He said someone from the Shaylon City office would be picking me up—a man with the last name Remington.Just outside the train station, someone tapped me on the shoulder. I turned around and saw a man. Tentatively, I asked, "Mr. Remington?"He nodded, then pulled out a handful of candy and dropped it into Kathy's hand. His smile was warm. "No need to be so formal. Just call me Rowan when we're not at work."I looked him over. I had expected someone older, maybe a middle-aged man with a bit of a belly—someone who'd worke
