Our Love on the Rocks

I had just reached home when I heard a loud noise. Ivy Anderson was standing in the middle of a mess of porcelain shards, and she immediately teared up when she saw me. She then cried and threw herself into Liam White’s embrace. “I didn’t mean to drop it, but Olivia looked so angry. She looked like an old witch…“I got scared.”The item she dropped was the first present Liam had bought me. It was a porcelain doll that he personally crafted for me. Liam caressed Ivy’s hair comfortingly with loving eyes. He used to dote on me like that. “Don’t worry. It’s just a doll. I’ll smash it with you.” He bent down, picked up the doll’s head, and smashed it forcefully against the floor. The porcelain shards smashed into smaller pieces. The doll was unsalvageable.Ivy was delighted as she clapped and laughed. My hands started to tremble. Back then, when he gave this doll to me, Liam pinched my face with a smug expression. “This is the first time I’ve made something like t

I put down my phone and began looking for my passport and travel documents. I did not know when Liam appeared behind me. “Why are you holding your passport?”I felt my hand tremble, but I lied nonchalantly. “I’m accompanying you on your overseas business trip next month, so I’m checking to make sure that I have everything I need.” I would always follow Liam on his overseas trips. However, it seemed like he had something to say regarding that. He was hesitating. “Next month… Ivy will be going with me.” Upon seeing my cold expression, he immediately continued, saying, “But next month I’ll send you on a vacation. Let’s both take some time to calm down.” No wonder he suddenly wanted to send me away. It turned out that he was afraid I would interrupt his time with Ivy. In the past, I would have made a huge fuss. I would have forced him to say that he loved me. However, this time, I only nodded and slid the passport into my bag. It was then that Liam realized that so

Ten hours later, I finally landed. My best friend, Yvonne Taylor, came to pick me up. When she saw me, she immediately burst into tears. “Look at how thin you are now. My dear Olivia…“I told you that Liam was a playboy. It was only a matter of time before he fell for someone else.”I patted her back gently, but I did not want to keep talking about Liam. “Let’s not talk about this. I left the country so I could be happier.”Yvonne nodded forcefully. “That’s right! When your leg recovers, I’ll bring you to a few bars, so you can forget about that playboy!” We chatted happily on the way home. After leaving a toxic relationship, even the air felt fresher. After we reached Yvonne’s mansion, she could not wait for me to try some of her freshly made pastries. Suddenly, a sharp ringtone disrupted the warm atmosphere. Yvonne took out her cell phone, and she looked confused. “There’s no caller ID, and the telephone code seems to be from home…”My eyelid twitched as I l

I subconsciously pushed him away. “Liam, why are you still here?”“What of it? Should I leave so you can flirt with other men?”Liam seemed furious. His eyes were bloodshot as he glared at Augustus. Then he punched Augustus!Liam moved too fast, so Augustus did not manage to dodge. His nose started bleeding. I rushed forward to hold Augustus. After I made sure he was fine, I could not help but yell at Liam. “Stop accusing me! Augustus is my colleague. This is the first time I’m meeting him for dinner. If you don’t believe me, go look into it!”“It better be.” Liam sneered. He looked cruel and disdainful. “That’s right. He seems young. He won’t fall for an old woman like you. I’m the only one who won’t mind being with you.” At that moment, Ivy walked into the restaurant holding a glass of mango juice.She smiled insincerely. “Olivia, I made this juice for you. Have a taste. I hope you’ll let go of what happened in the past.”I did not move. My expression darkened

Everyone could see that we were not made for each other. However, I was blinded by his sweet words. The next day, I left the mansion to go to work. Ivy suddenly rushed out. Her face was red and swollen, and her hair was a huge mess. Her limited-edition dress was covered in dirt. She looked like a beggar. She glared at me. “The White family is cancelling my engagement, and my father feels like I am worthless. He wants to disown me. “Now I have nothing left. You must be thrilled!”I was puzzled. From the start, I knew that Liam was the one to blame.My tone was mocking as I said, “I’m not the one who forced Liam to cancel his engagement with you. You should be looking for him, and not me.”Ivy was stunned. Then, her gaze turned murderous. She pushed me aside and stumbled away. I had a bad feeling, but I chose to ignore her. At the same time, I received a text message from an unknown number.[Were you only with me for the money?]I knew it was from Liam.After
