Our Love Is Gone Chapter 11 A Seat at the Table
"What?" I blurted, wondering whether I'd misheard her. "Ms. Calloway, you can't be serious. What exactly do you see in me?"Violet smiled. "You're capable, handsome, and you have quite the figure, which means superior genes. I find myself in need of an excellent husband with such qualities. Is that reason enough? "We're both adults here, so I don't think you'd buy it if I told you I'd hopelessly fallen in love with you. You'd probably think I was lying to you. So, I won't say that. I'll only tell you that I respect you as a person, and I want to build a good life with you. "This marriage will give you access to resources, shares, properties, and money. I think you know by now that I'm not one for empty promises. I always make good on my word. You can take your time and think it over. "As for feelings… Well, that would come in time, wouldn't you agree?"I thought about Violet's words for a long time, remembering the seven years I had spent with Natalie. I had been treated like a
Our Love Is Gone Chapter 10 A New Beginning in Ashbury
I ran into Natalie.I rubbed my eyes, thinking I must be seeing things.Natalie was dressed plainly, her hair damp with sweat and sticking to her face. She looked utterly disheveled."Sylvan, I've finally found you!" She rushed over and threw her arms around me.It was only then that I came fully to my senses. This wasn't a hallucination. This was really happening.I immediately shoved her away.She froze where she stood, her eyes red and swollen. "I'm sorry for coming so late. I know now that you were there when I celebrated Ewan's birthday, but I need you to know that none of what you heard was true."Ewan and I did date in the past, and I did consider you as his replacement when I first got together with you. But I swear that I fell deeply in love with you later on. Couldn't you feel how much I loved you?"I almost started laughing at her audacity. "I'm sorry, but I really couldn't."Natalie's tears nearly spilled over in her desperation. "I know you're still mad at me, but
Our Love Is Gone Chapter 9 A New Life Without Her
"You knew perfectly well that Sylvan was my boyfriend. Yet, you instructed the manager to hire him. "You specifically arranged the best seat for him to watch everything unfold before prodding your friends to say those things because you knew that I wouldn't humiliate you in front of everyone."You knew damn well that I'd initially mistaken him as you when I got together with Sylvan. But you were also fully aware that I later realized that he was a hundred, a thousand times better than a piece of trash like you! "So, you staged that whole scene, tricked me into hitting Sylvan, and caused us to fight. You're behind it all!"Natalie raised her hand and slapped Ewan again and again. She slapped him a full ten times across the face before she finally felt satisfied.Blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. He didn't try to dodge. Instead, he raised a hand, wiped away the blood, and smiled crookedly. "You don't actually think I wanted to be with you because I loved you, do you?"
Our Love Is Gone Chapter 8 The Truth He Never Knew
"I'm sorry, Mr. Joffre isn't in the office.""Where did he go then?""He was sent out of town on assignment. Didn't he tell you?""Which city?""I'm sorry, but that's private information, so I can't disclose that. If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Joffre directly."Natalie felt her muscles lock up as the call ended.Suddenly, she remembered that night when she had overheard me talking about booking a plane ticket. She had assumed I was booking it for my boss. She never imagined that I'd bought the ticket for myself.'No wonder Sylvan had been acting strangely ever since that night. He'd been preparing to leave ever since that day.'Natalie sank onto the cheap sofa and began going over everything that had happened over the past few days, turning every detail over and over in her mind.'The day Sylvan looked so utterly lost was also Ewan's birthday!'She snapped back to reality and quickly emailed a contact. "Look into something for me. Look into Sylvan's whereabout
Our Love Is Gone Chapter 7 When She Finally Realized
Natalie immediately called me, determined to get an explanation out of me. Unfortunately, a mechanical female voice came through the moment the call connected. "The number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later…"She gritted her teeth. 'How dare he refuse to answer my calls!'Still, she wasn't about to give up so easily. So, she called again.Ewan stood nearby, watching the entire scene with a satisfied smile. He walked over to her. "What's wrong, Natalie?"He leaned in to look at her phone. At that exact moment, Natalie switched back to her chat screen, and the messages showing we had broken up appeared right in front of him. Ewan was so delighted that he could barely stop the bubble of laughter from escaping his lips. Still, he quickly composed himself and put on a concerned expression. "It looks like he's throwing a tantrum. Why don't you go home and make it up to him?"Natalie took a deep breath and stopped trying to call me. "I'll deal with h
Our Love Is Gone Chapter 6 The CEO's Daughter
A company representative was already waiting to pick me up as soon as I landed in Ashbury."Hello, Mr. Joffre. I'm Alistair Lockwood from Human Resources. You can just call me Al.""Thank you."Alistair smiled and took my luggage. "The company has already arranged your accommodations. We're waiting for one more person. Once she arrives, I'll take both of you to get settled in, and then I'll take you to the welcome dinner."Alistair was extremely friendly, and I stood beside him as we waited.Alistair glanced at his watch every so often. Eventually, he leaned closer and asked lowly, "Do you know who we're waiting for?"I looked down at my phone and scrolled through some work materials. I had blocked every one of Natalie's socials. So, I didn't mind the long silence. Honestly, I was enjoying the peace my actions had afforded me."Who?" I asked obligingly.Alistair could barely contain his excitement. "It's the CEO's daughter, Violet Calloway. She just returned from studying abroa
