INICIAR SESIÓNDuring an elective class, the campus belle, Jemima Ford, who is our senior, describes her ideal type with everyone egging her on. She says, "My future husband has to be at least six feet two inches tall. His parents must be college professors, and his grades should be top three in his major…" The room buzzes with teasing chatter and gossip. At the same time, I snap up my head in surprise. Why does Jemima's description of her ideal type sound like my boyfriend, Elijah Sanders? The next second, the professor standing by the podium smiles obsequiously and says, "Very well said. If Eli hears this, he'll definitely be very happy! Later, the two of you can meet. That way, he won't get tricked by some naive girl into going abroad." Amid the burst of laughter from the class, I lower my eyes and look at the message my parents sent me. It reads, "Sweetheart, are you really going abroad with your boyfriend? There'll be no one left to inherit our company with you gone."
Ver másJemima's endless harassment was driving Elijah to the brink.I also learned from others that Jemima had humbled herself so much because, after she was exposed to be a liar, her reputation was completely ruined. She had become a joke to everyone.So, she could only cling to Elijah as her last resort to prove her own appeal.I thought Jemima would keep pestering him till the end of time. But one evening, I ran into a familiar figure.Hannah was outside the library. In front of her, Elijah stood gingerly with his face flushed red, unable to shake off Jemima's grip no matter what.Seeing this, Hannah stepped forward and slapped her. "You shameless woman! How dare you keep harassing Eli? It's because of you that he's ended up like this! How do you still have the nerve to keep bothering him?"Her sharp screams made her sound like a shrew, and her eyes were filled with nothing but hatred. It seemed like she hated Jemima for deceiving her.The next second, she rushed forward and knocked
Vicki tactfully left.My fingers were clenched so tightly that my knuckles turned pale as I tried to suppress the anger inside me. Then, I quietly looked at the scene before me.Not long ago, and not far away from here, I sat alone in a private room. I waited for my birthday wishes, hoping Elijah would come around.But reality dealt blow after blow to my heart. Hannah's mockery, Jemima's provocation, and Elijah's ambiguous attitude repeatedly pushed me into an emotional abyss. They kept driving me to break down and sink further. It was like being trapped in a swamp, where I was unable to escape the overwhelming negative emotions. At the moment I was falling apart, the person I thought would stay by my side stood next to someone else.Now, I had healed. I no longer needed to step back into this toxic relationship or continue to put up with that difficult future mother-in-law.Life was gradually getting better, and I was moving forward. I didn't want to return to that depressed st
When my parents heard that I had broken up with Elijah, they were very worried. After picking me up from the station, they kept comforting me the entire way home."It's okay, Ivy. You're still young. You'll definitely find someone better in the future.""That's right. A temporary setback in love is nothing. Take some time to rest. The right guy will eventually show up."Their warm and loving words healed me, and I smiled knowingly.The initial bitterness from the breakup had already passed. Now, I felt more calm than anything else.After detaching myself from the relationship, I realized just how much Elijah and Hannah had worn me down over the years. I had no confidence and only knew how to give. I let others take from me endlessly.Even after being treated like that by Hannah, all I could think of was enduring and tolerating. Thank goodness this draining relationship had finally come to an end.After returning home, I threw myself straight into studying and researching our com
After saying my piece, I walked straight out of the cafe.In the distance, the faint sound of an ambulance could be heard. The injured Hannah was then taken to the hospital.Amid the chaos, Elijah got into the ambulance with a dazed expression as well. At the same time, he frantically made calls to ask about the process of filling out the application.After the crowd at the cafe dispersed, the campus forum buzzed with gossip once again."Did you hear? Professor Dawson, who teaches the elective class, got hit by her star student just now! It was so bad she bled and got rushed to the hospital.""Oh, her? I heard she often slacks off in class and pushes a lot of her work onto her students!""Yeah, not to mention she got lucky because she had an obedient and capable helper… Say, wasn't that her son's girlfriend?""Didn't they break up? Didn't Jemima say she had her eyes on Professor Dawson's son recently?"All sorts of messy rumors flooded the comments section. As I glanced at it,
