My Fiancé Said He Wouldn't Pick Me Again, So I Left Chapter 8
After that gala, Julian fell apart completely.I heard he barely slept anymore. He drank through the night and had even started hallucinating.He often called my old number in the middle of the night, crying and saying he'd been wrong.He went to the house we used to share, smashed everything Summer had ever touched, then sat alone in the wreckage, staring at nothing.Hale Group's shareholders were furious. Under mounting pressure, the board removed him as CEO.Once untouchable, Julian had finally paid the price for his arrogance and selfishness.Meanwhile, my standing at Pierce Capital only grew stronger.Six months later, Ian booked out an entire Michelin-starred restaurant overlooking London.The city lights glittered beneath a sky full of stars.Ian pulled out an elegant velvet box with no logo.Inside was a diamond ring.It wasn't another oversized, expensive rock. The diamond was smaller, flawless, and perfectly cut.Ian looked at me, his usually unreadable eyes now filled with d

A month later, Pierce Capital held an exclusive business gala in New York.As Pierce Capital's executive vice president for Europe, I arrived with Ian after most of the guests were already inside.I stepped into the ballroom in a plunging wine-red couture gown and diamond-studded heels, drawing every eye in the room.No one could believe I was the same Nora who used to stand quietly behind Julian in understated monochrome suits. Now, I was bold, glamorous, and impossible to ignore.Julian was there too.He'd lost a lot of weight and looked haggard and withdrawn.The moment he saw me with Ian, he couldn't stop staring."Don't look at the trash. Eyes forward." Ian's low voice sounded beside me as his warm hand closed over mine, steadying me.I smiled and looked away.Just then, there was a commotion at the ballroom entrance."Julian! Julian, help me!"Summer pushed past security and forced her way into the ballroom.She looked like a complete wreck. After her plagiarism was exposed, she

Security escorted Julian out.As he left, there was something almost feral in his eyes—furious, but powerless.That night, I got a long string of texts from Julian.He'd found my new number."Nora, I was wrong.""I shouldn't have said what I did during the game, and I shouldn't have ignored how you felt. I've already told Sunny to move out. I won't get involved in her problems anymore.""Come back, okay? The wedding's next month. The invitations are already out. If you call it off now, what will people think of us?"I read the messages and found them laughable.He wasn't apologizing because he genuinely believed he'd done something wrong. He was apologizing because things had slipped out of his control.He was still trying to pressure me into staying because of what people would think and everything we'd already put into the wedding.I blocked the number.For the next two weeks, I was overwhelmed with work.Ian was demanding but remarkably generous. He gave me full authority and truste

London. The night air over the Thames was damp and cool.I stood at the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine and looking down at the glittering city."Ms. Shaw, here's our final offer for tomorrow's acquisition. Take a look."A low, pleasant male voice came from behind me.I turned to face him.Ian Pierce.He was the young founder and CEO of Pierce Capital, one of the biggest names in private equity on both sides of the Atlantic.He was also my new boss."Thank you, Mr. Pierce." I took the file and skimmed it.Ian wore a perfectly tailored black suit. His gaze was sharp behind gold-rimmed glasses.He looked at me with a small smile. "It's been a week since you got to London. Settling in?""Pretty well." I smiled. "Things move fast here. Keeps me from overthinking."Ian joined me by the window, and we looked out over the city."Julian Hale's looking for you," he said. "From what I hear, he's turned New York upside down trying to find you."I paused, then took a sip of wi

Julian parked in the garage and walked Summer to the house under his umbrella, keeping her tucked close to his side."Julian, do you think Nora's still mad?" Summer glanced up at him, looking hesitant and anxious. "Maybe I should move out. I don't want to come between you two.""Don't worry about it." Julian closed his umbrella and ruffled her hair. "Nora's not that petty. Work's been getting to her lately, that's all. She's just upset. I'll talk to her later. She'll be fine."He slipped off his shoes and glanced around the empty living room."Nora?" he called.No answer.In the dining room, he spotted the torn-up note in the trash and frowned."She's probably asleep upstairs."Julian told Summer to watch TV in the living room, then strode upstairs and pushed open the bedroom door.The room was spotless. The bed was made so neatly that it looked like a hotel room.Nora wasn't there.Irritated, he tugged at his tie and walked into the closet.The moment he opened the door, he froze.A s

I stayed in the hospital for three days, hooked up to an IV the whole time. I learned to eat, wash my face, and change my hospital gown with one hand.In those three days, Julian didn't call once.Every night, without fail, he sent the same halfhearted text: Busy. Get some rest.He was convinced that I was just throwing a tantrum—that I'd cool off and come crawling back in a few days, like I always did.After all, in seven years, I'd never once walked away.On the day I was discharged, it was pouring rain.I didn't call the driver. Instead, I took a cab back to the house Julian and I had shared for the past three years.I punched in the code and pushed the door open.The house was quiet, and a faint smell of chicken soup hung in the air.In the dining room, I found an insulated food jar on the table with a sticky note beside it."Sunny wanted chicken soup, so I went out and got a free-range chicken. I left some for you in the pot since your stomach's been acting up. Heat it up when you
