“Come back with me. I swear I’ll never neglect you again. I’ll put you first in everything, and we’ll never be apart again, alright?”Even then, she still didn’t get it. I wasn’t leaving just because of Eric. It was also because of her attitude toward me and our relationship.“Stella.”She stared straight at me, her eyes red and teary.“I feel like not having me in your life doesn’t change anything for you. You’re just used to having me around. You don’t actually need me–”“No! That’s not true!” Before I could finish speaking, Stella cut me off. “I can’t live without you. I can’t just lose five years of our lives together. You’re the one I want, Daniel… Please believe me.”She grabbed my hand, pleading relentlessly. Just like last time, she begged me not to leave and not to give up on our five years together. However, was I supposed to compromise myself and stay trapped in an endless spiral of mental exhaustion just for the sake of those five years?“This isn’t what I want eithe

Stella’s expression shifted from anger to shame. She was mortified.I gently raised my hand, signaling my mother and Autumn to head inside and wait for me first. I wanted to face her alone.Stella clutched the gift bag in her arms tightly. Her voice quavered as she pleaded with me, asking, “Daniel, why did you insist on running away? Was it because of those photos Eric sent to you? I can explain everything! He took all of those in secret. Nothing happened between us. We’re innocent!“It was all a calculated scheme on his part from the very beginning. He deliberately drove a wedge between us! I’ve never liked him! Daniel–”She tried to step forward, but I held up a hand to stop her.“That night, I broke up with you loud and clear. I didn’t run away. Besides, we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Please don’t come bothering me again. As for you and Eric, I have zero interest in hearing about it. Whatever happens between you two is your own business. There’s no need for me t

My clothes, my toiletries, the small trinkets I had placed on the desk, and everything that had once been filled with my presence had vanished. Stella’s entire body went stiff, and her heart felt as if it were being torn apart alive.When she saw our shared memories discarded in the bin, she finally realized that this time, I wasn’t throwing a tantrum or giving her the silent treatment. I was truly and completely done with her. On my second day back in my home city, my mother used her connections to help me return to my job as a journalist. Back on the front lines of interviewing—chasing news, writing articles, and rushing topics—a busy, fulfilling life filled all my free time.The daily hustle and bustle also dulled all the pain. Everything regarding Stella had long been pushed to the back of my mind.It wasn’t until half a month later that my mother set me up on a blind date. She said the other party was a fellow journalist, gentle in character, and with matching values, making

Stella shook Eric’s arm off so hard that it sent Eric crashing onto the floor.Under normal circumstances, Stella would’ve rushed over immediately to help him up. She would’ve taken him to the hospital without a second thought, using her status as an attending surgeon to pull strings in the emergency room.Yet now, Stella didn’t even reach a hand out. Instead, she pointed a finger right at Eric’s nose, snapping a fierce warning.“Whatever is going on between Daniel and me is strictly between us! It has nothing to do with you! Don’t you dare try to meddle in our relationship, and don’t assume what we have is so fragile!”Eric burst out laughing, and tears welled in his eyes. There was a subtle mockery in his voice.“Is that so? But he said he doesn’t want you anymore. He booked a flight all by himself and left.”Stella froze and instinctively pulled out her phone.The screen was flooded with over a hundred unread messages. Standing out among them was a notification from the landl

I didn’t bother blocking Stella right away. After all, her belongings were still back at the house.I was afraid that if she lost or misplaced anything later on, she’d use the missing items as an excuse to pester and hassle me. So, I simply turned off my phone and boarded the plane.At that exact moment, Stella was helping Eric clean his kitchen. Her parents had divorced when she was young, so she had lived on her own from an early age. She was well-versed in all kinds of household chores and daily trivialities.When we first got together, she was just as attentive. She would clean the kitchen, tidy the house, and inspect every corner of the place week after week.Especially whenever she had to go on a business trip, she would always clean the house inside out. She was terrified that if she weren’t around, cleaning up alone would be too tiring for me.“The kitchen hood has too much grease on it, but it’s no big deal,” she said. “I’ll just clean it out in a bit.”Stella was bent d

“What did you say?”I stared straight into Stella’s eyes, my gaze cold. “I said we’re breaking up.”Stella’s eyes widened slightly, as if she couldn’t believe that someone like me, who had always been gentle and accommodating, would be so firm in my decision.Beside her, Eric instantly panicked and apologized nervously. “I’m so sorry, Daniel. It’s all my fault. I was being ignorant. Please don’t be angry. I’ll leave right now.”He crouched on the floor in a flurry to tie his soaked shoelaces. His fingers trembled so hard that he couldn’t manage the knot even after several tries, and that was all it took to make Stella lose her patience.“Daniel! Haven’t you had enough of throwing fits? It’s pouring outside. Where is he supposed to go? Do you really have to embarrass everyone just to feel satisfied?“Every time, you threaten to break up with me. Isn’t that just your way of forcing me to back down? All these baseless suspicions and picking on others… You genuinely disgust me.”Ste
