Not All Love Stories Lead to Rome Chapter 9
Sensing the impatience in my voice, Ryan's eyes turned bloodshot. His expression was pained."Emily, I admit I didn't handle things well with Katie. I crossed lines I shouldn't have. I'm sorry. I was wrong. But I swear—my heart has only ever belonged to you. Please believe me."To be honest, it was the first time I had ever seen Ryan look so desperate.But it was too late.The moment he missed my birthday again because of Katie, we were already over.I glanced at his pale face and, despite everything, invited him inside. I poured him a glass of hot water.He looked at the water, then at me, his eyes lighting up. He thought I was softening.So I made sure to crush that hope immediately."Don't get the wrong idea. I just didn't want you to pass out on my doorstep. Then your mother would come after me again. And you know how exhausting she is."The light in his eyes died instantly.But I didn't stop."You said that sleeping apart for a week meant automatic divorce. So every tim

Every single time, something got in the way.But when Katie casually mentioned wanting to go on a business trip to Spring City? The very next month, Ryan landed a project there and flew off with her.Ryan had told me more than once that he and Katie had never done anything to betray me.I believed him.But the truth was undeniable: his heart had already drifted. And honestly, emotional cheating is even worse than physical cheating.At least I had woken up before it was too late.Standing on the beach I had dreamed about so many times, I took a deep breath. This was the smell of the ocean. More than that—it was the smell of freedom.I texted my best friend to let her know I was safe. She called me immediately."Having fun at the beach?"I didn't even have to think. "Best time ever."There was a pause on the other end. Then my friend's voice got hesitant. "So... is there really no chance left for you and Ryan?"The smile faded from my face. "Why are you asking me that too? Eve

"Emily."Ryan's voice was flat, unreadable."We need to talk."I frowned slightly. "If it's about the divorce, you can talk to my lawyer. If it's about anything else, I don't think we have anything left to say."With that, I stopped looking at him and kept walking.Ryan grabbed my wrist. "Emily, stop messing around."Even now, he still thought I was just throwing a tantrum.I looked back at him with a half-smile. "Ryan, we were together for five years before we got married. We've been married for three. And you still don't know me at all, do you? I'm not like you—the one who's always threatening divorce."He opened his mouth, then closed it. Finally, he said, "Emily, it's been two weeks. Can we just go back to how things were? I know you don't like Katie. I fired her. Are you happy now?"I let out a soft laugh. "I'm not unhappy. What you do with her has nothing to do with me anymore. And you're right—it's been two weeks. According to the rule you made, we've been divorced twic

Even though I had deleted everyone connected to Ryan, someone still went out of their way to send me a photo of him at the gala with Katie.[Emily, we've all seen how much you love Ryan. Are you really okay with handing him over to someone else? Don't be so stubborn. You'll regret this.]I deleted the photo and the message without changing my expression.I had loved Ryan for eight years. And this was how it ended.Did it bother me? Of course it did. A little. When I saw the two of them standing there arm in arm, my heart still ached. Just slightly.But that small ache wasn't nearly enough to shake my resolve to leave.Time heals everything. I believed that if I gave myself enough time, I would eventually let go of Ryan for good.But if I kept going the way I was—staying small, staying desperate, staying in love with someone who didn't deserve it—I would turn into a bitter, miserable woman who blamed the world for her problems.And I never wanted to see myself become that person

When Ryan's face suddenly went pale, his assistant had no idea what was wrong."Mr. Miller, besides the gift and the restaurant reservation, should I also get a bouquet for your wife? She loves red roses," the assistant offered helpfully.The next second, Ryan grabbed him by the collar. "Did Emily deliver this herself?"The assistant shook his head frantically. "No, sir. She sent it by courier. Why? Is something wrong with the documents? Should I—"Before he could finish, Ryan let go of him and growled, "Get out."But just as the assistant turned to leave, Ryan stopped him. "Wait. Give me your phone."He dialed a number he knew by heart. It rang for a long time before someone finally picked up.A familiar voice came through the line. "Hey, Carson, what's up?"Ryan's breath caught in his throat. His heart trembled. He wanted to apologize. He wanted to beg her to come back.But his pride wouldn't let him. When he opened his mouth, what came out was, "Emily, you really think bloc

Katie's face went stiff. She couldn't find a comeback, so she just looked up at Ryan with those pitiful eyes."Emily—"I didn't even let him get a word out. "Save it. I don't want to hear it from you either."And with that, I walked out without looking back.…Three days passed in a blink. Soon it was the one-week mark—the deadline Ryan had set.My phone would not stop ringing all day. Text after text poured in from our mutual friends.[Hey, are you still mad at Ryan? You know he's all bark and no bite. He's not even angry anymore. Just say something nice, and this whole thing blows over.][Emily, Ryan moved Katie to a different department. If you keep this up, you're the one taking it too far.][Today's the last day, girl. Don't be stubborn. A man like Ryan doesn't grow on trees. If you actually divorce him, you'll just be making room for all those other women circling him like vultures.]Reading through all those messages, I just started laughing.Ryan was the one who had
