Chapter 9

Author: Perfect Timing
Dad was being utterly unreasonable. I couldn't help myself and shouted, "My relationship with Travis is over, Dad! There's no way that I'll marry him!"

"That's not up to you," Dad retorted with a smug smile.

I followed Dad's line of sight and turned around, coming face-to-face with Travis.

I immediately understood what was going on.

I glared at Travis and maintained my distance from him. I waved my phone and said, "I'm going to call the police if you try to pull the same stunt again, Travis

    I had no choice but to remind Travis that we had already broken up."It's over between us, Travis," I said. "Stop interfering with my life. If you keep this up, I'm going to call the police on you."However, Travis didn't believe that I was being serious and just shook my arm from side to side.I couldn't free my wrist from his grip no matter how hard I tried."I've learned my lesson, Harper. You can stop causing a fuss now, okay?"Travis tried to hug me, but I quickly stepped aside, dodging it. Unfortunately, he still had a death grip on my wrist."Let go of me, Travis!" I shouted.My wrist was starting to ache from how much force he was exerting. In a fit of rage, I raised my other hand and delivered a hard slap across his face."Let go, Travis! We can never go back to how things used to be. I don't love you anymore!"Travis yanked me into his embrace, saying, "I know that I hurt you deeply this time, Harper. I swear that I'll never do it again! Please don't say that you don

    I checked myself into a hotel with a mountain view, deciding to look for a job after I had gotten some rest.I used to be a lawyer, but I quit my job after I got together with Travis. He told me that he didn't like that I was working, and that he could provide for me.I realized how much of a fool I had been as I sifted through my memories. I had loved him so much that I ended up losing myself in the process.I submitted my résumé to various law firms. It didn't take long for someone to get back to me.After I had an online interview, the other party expressed their admiration for me and extended an offer for me to join their firm next week.Before joining the law firm, I began searching for the parts of myself that I had lost while also enjoying the scenery of my surroundings.It felt amazing not having to worry about preparing Travis' meals and keeping a close eye on his health and condition. I also didn't have to consider his needs or deal with his moods anymore.I had no ide

    Travis stared at me in disbelief, as though his ears were playing tricks on him."Are you sure, Harper?" he asked."Yes," I replied.His voice was still colored with disbelief when he asked, "Are you sure you don't want to marry me?""I'm sure."The impatience in my voice sent Travis into a fit of rage.A vein pulsed in his forehead as he pointed an accusing finger at me. "Weren't you the one who was desperate to marry me, Harper? You even told me that your mother's dying wish was for you to marry me. What are you playing at this time?"It really seems that the older you get, the more cunning you become. How did I never notice how scheming you are?"Travis finally realized that I wasn't joking when he saw me carrying my belongings out of the room.Unfortunately for him, he had misremembered Mom's dying wish. Instead of marrying him, her actual wish was for me to be happy."I spent so much time decorating the house, Harper. How am I going to explain to my family and everyone e

    Travis seemed surprised by my lack of enthusiasm. He took my hand and led me toward the jewelry sets, helping me try them on, one after the other.His eyes lit up when I tried on the fourth set of jewelry. "This set looks good on you! It totally matches your style."Brandon chuckled and said, "You sure are a big fan of ruby necklaces. You had the same awed look on your face when Victoria tried on a ruby necklace too."The air turned awkward the moment the words left his lips.I took the necklace off and carefully placed it back in the display case."I need to talk to you in private, Travis," I said before turning around and heading back to my room.Travis trailed after me as he rushed to explain himself. "Let me explain, Harper. Victoria mentioned wanting to buy some jewelry for herself and asked me to recommend a store to her. That's why I told her about Brandon's store."Coincidentally, I was also there when she decided to drop by. We just happened to run into each other becau
