Chapter 7

Author: Wendy Gill
Damien, looking a little aggrieved, said, "Honey, don't lump me in. I do have a conscience."

I couldn't help but laugh when I heard this.

Damien had always focused on creating the best-value products.

Every brand, hotel, and real-estate project under his name used top-grade materials and sold at the lowest possible price. That was why his company continued to grow and his reputation continued to rise.

If one respected consumers, they would earn their respect in return.

Martin, on the other hand, cut corners to pocket the savings, risking people's lives. That was downright heartless.

Not long afterward, I got a call from an unlisted number. I hesitated before answering.

Finn's voice came through the phone. "Did you see the news? Sylvia, I was the one who reported him."

I frowned, unsure of why he was telling me. "Well, thanks on behalf of the public."

Finn sounded weak as he asked, "Sylvia, may I see you?"

I answered firmly, "I told you before that I've moved on. You don't nee

  • Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 9

    "I hope he'll accept treatment and stop disturbing me," I firmly said.Finn's elderly parents nodded, their faces conveying an apologetic look.Soon after, Finn transferred to another hospital and never contacted me again....The next news about Finn came from his mother."Sylvia, Finn is fading fast. He wants to see you one last time. Will you come?"I stayed silent for a long while. Eventually, I answered in a hoarse voice, "Alright." Then, I hung up.For a second, I tried to recall the moments when Finn and I loved each other in our past life. But no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't remember anything. Time really could erase everything.When I saw Finn again, he was just skin and bones. His cheekbones jutted out, making him unrecognizable.He stared blankly out the window. Only when I stepped into the room did light fill his eyes. He looked at his body and gave a bitter laugh. "Sylvia, I must be awful to look at now."I said nothing.He went on, "I'm sorry. I used to

  • Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 8

    I said, "Marrying you in our last life was my biggest regret. I don't love you anymore. I don't want a child with you. Stop living in the past. I'm never going back there."Finn froze, hurt evident on his face.I didn't care about his feelings at all. I simply turned and left the room.He shouted after me, "All men are the same! Do you really think that Damien cares about you? Why would the wealthiest man in Abgate City want an ordinary woman?"Wake up! You two can't be happy! I'm the one who suits you the best!"Fed up, I walked faster. He hadn't changed at all from his last life.When things went well, he looked down on those doing worse. When things went badly, he envied those who were better off and tried to bring them down. People like that were always regretting and never satisfied.Everyone said that I married Damien to climb the social ladder. However, I felt that he and I were equals in this love.Finn saw me as an ordinary doctor. He had no idea about the breakthrough

    I said, "Whether we broke up in our past lives or this one, isn't it better for us to have no ties? Besides, last time you regretted being with me and didn't want kids. I couldn't accept that life."Finn shouted in anger. "I regretted it because you never supported me! You emailed the music publishers and told them not to accept my songs!"I was baffled. "What are you talking about? I never sent any emails. At that time, I worked three jobs to support your dream of pursuing a music career. I never had time for that nonsense. I had wished for your success more than anyone else. Didn't you feel that?"Finn froze in shock, as if he had been struck by lightning. He covered his mouth, unable to accept the truth, and kept questioning me. "Then why didn't you buy me a guitar back then?"At that moment, I understood what he hadn't finished saying earlier in the banquet hall."Did you think we still had money? Your dad was sick, and your family spent every penny on medical bills. Aside fro

    It took only a few minutes for the situation to change."Who would have thought that Sylvia would marry the wealthiest man of Abgate City? Finn just tried to give her a check. It looks ridiculous now!""Yeah. He thought she was doing badly. But it turns out, she found someone even better.""Didn't Yvonne offer her a nail tech job? I just heard that Sylvia is the lead surgeon at Abgate Central Hospital. She's one of the best. She doesn't need anyone lining up work for her. What a joke!""Sylvia, getting married is a big deal! Why didn't you tell us? We would've gotten you a big wedding gift!"I watched as former classmates who had ignored me moments ago started to act chummy. I found it funny, but I maintained basic courtesy.The class reunion wasn't over yet, but I was already bored. So, Damien and I took our son and left early.The moment we stepped out of Crestford Grand Hotel, someone called out, "Sylvia!"Finn chased after me and called out for me to stop.I asked Damien t

  • Loving the Wrong One   Chapter 4

    The young boy, who had looked cold and distant just moments ago, suddenly looked pitiful, as if he wanted me to coax him. He whined, "Why didn't you come home yesterday? I missed you so much."I hugged my son and soothed him quietly. "I was at work. I told you when I left. Tomorrow's my day off. I'll take you out, okay?"Ryan Cooper nodded eagerly and said, "Okay. Mom, you're the best."All my old classmates were stunned to see this. They stared at me in disbelief.Before they could ask any questions, a handsome man in a suit came down from the conference room upstairs."Honey, the hotel manager said you were at your class reunion. Why didn't you text me when you got off work? I'd have driven over."The hotel manager stood by and introduced the man to the speechless crowd."This is Mr. Damien Cooper, CEO of Crestford Group, and Ms. Sylvia Carter's husband. If you need anything while you're eating, please let me know. We'll do our best to ensure that Mrs. Cooper's classmates feel
