Say Goodbye to Love

Throughout our seven years of marriage, there would always be a hot meal waiting for Caleb when he came home.It didn't matter whether I was swamped with work and couldn't make it home in time, as I would still order his favorite takeout before coming home myself.This was the first time he ever came face-to-face with an empty dining table.He assumed I would hurriedly get on my feet and start whipping a meal up for him. However, I only responded dully, "Make yourself a sandwich if you're that hungry."Caleb frowned and handed me a bag."I remember your period pains can get awful, so I got you some heat pads."I tilted my head slightly and finally met his gaze. "I don't need it. Leave them to someone who does."He had no idea that Emma had posted a picture of those same heating pads on her social media.The hand in the photo, the same hand placing them on her, was wearing his ring. It was his left hand.Although Emma had deleted the photo, I was well aware that these heat pads

The silence in the living room lasted for a full 30 seconds. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.Finally, Caleb looked at me in disbelief. "What did you just say?"I replied calmly, "I said alright. Let's get a divorce."The divorce agreement that Blair had written up for me was in my purse.I was just about to take it out when Caleb suddenly let out a mocking laugh. "This is another one of your schemes, isn't it? It's a pity that your tricks are far too dumb. Well, I'm certainly not falling for it!"Then, he stormed out, slamming the door as he left.He never came home for a month.During that time, one of his best friends contacted me, saying urgently, "Caleb's gotten into a car accident. He's in the hospital! You should come over right away!"I merely said in response, "I'm not a doctor, so I wouldn't be of any help. You should hire a nurse if he needs an extra pair of hands. Or better yet, contact Emma. I'm sure she would be more than happy to nurse him back to

Caleb and Liam were acquainted. Unfortunately, they would always get into near-squabbles whenever they met.Caleb would constantly insist that there was no such thing as just friendship between a man and a woman. He would claim that Liam had feelings for me and demanded that we cut off contact.As a result, Liam and I went from close friends to familiar strangers.However, times had changed now.I would no longer be making any changes for Caleb, even if he screamed himself hoarse.So, I ended the call and went home with Blair. I had a good sleep and only woke up at noon.My phone had been charged through the night. Hence, I saw several missed calls and messages on my screen when I unlocked it. They were all from Caleb.When I saw yet another incoming call from him, I scrunched my brows and begrudgingly answered it.Caleb's voice was hoarse as he begged, "Ophelia, come downstairs. Let's go home, alright?"I drew the curtains open and immediately saw that his car was parked righ

Since I didn't receive Caleb's signed divorce papers, I promptly filed for a lawsuit.When that happened, Caleb seemed to have gotten himself a vacation or something. After all, he suddenly had a lot of time to waste. He had been making a nuisance of himself waiting for me at my company's entrance.He would show up every single damn day, rain or shine.He said, "Ophelia, I've ended things with Emma. I've even barred her from visiting me. I know I've made a mistake. Ophelia, I don't want a divorce. Please forgive me. Let's start over, okay? I'm begging you."I looked at him coldly. "Emma was never the problem. Even if Emma didn't exist, there would be other women making themselves a thorn in my side. Do you not understand what's going on here, Caleb? I never said I don't want a marriage, what I want gone is you. I find you filthy."Caleb didn't believe a word out of my mouth as he argued, "No, that's impossible! You love me, Ophelia. You've loved me so deeply. How could you cast me
