The Day I Let Go Chapter 10
The divorce process wrapped up quickly. As we walked out the doors of the city hall, the world outside was bathed in sunlight. Warm golden rays spilled over us, which was rare in early winter.When we parted ways, Julian raised his head, his gaze filled with mixed feelings. If he hadn’t let go of my hand that day at the wedding, he would still have a respectable job; he would still be living in a two-hundred-thousand-dollar new home; he would still be driving a thirty-thousand-dollar new car; and I would still love him.But now, he had nothing left. His reputation was gone, and he had to hide from debt collectors. One wrong decision had made his life into a living hell.“Haley… If I could do it again, I would’ve loved you wholeheartedly…” he uttered those meaningless words through his tears.I smiled and shook my head. “There’s no need, Julian. I’ve had enough. If we can, let’s make sure we never cross paths with each other again.”With that, I strode down the steps, refusing to s
The Day I Let Go Chapter 9
There was only one day left before the end of the thirty-day divorce cooling-off period. At eleven o’clock at night, I had just finished work late and returned to my apartment. The early winter wind whipped against my face like icy knives. Curled up in the shadow of the streetlight by the gates was a gaunt figure. He wore a dusty, worn-out down jacket, and his feet were shoved into sneakers so dirty their original color was completely unrecognizable.Hearing my footsteps, the figure jerked his head up. It was Julian.Having not seen him for just over twenty days, he was so thin he was almost unrecognizable. His cheekbones protruded sharply, his once handsome face was sunken, and he looked broken and haggard.The moment his eyes met mine, tears streamed down his face. With a heavy thud, he sank to his knees against the freezing, hard ground.“Haley… I was wrong…” His voice was raspy, filled with desperation and regret. “Wendy confessed everything. The police told me everything…

Grace froze for a moment, subconsciously squinting her eyes to take a closer look. When her gaze landed on the abortion date and the consentee’s signature, her expression stiffened.“W-What is this?”“Two years ago, I was sent on a business trip to Germany for two months,” I said, keeping my voice low but ensuring she heard every word.“Your son got Wendy pregnant, and she had a dilation and curettage procedure at the women and children’s hospital. The name signed on this surgical informed consent form belongs to your son.”Grace’s face instantly turned from red to pale. Her lips trembled as she stared at me as if she had just seen a ghost.“You… How could you…”The noisy crowd of onlookers in the lobby gradually quieted down. Even though they couldn’t make out the exact details of what was being said, seeing Grace’s terrified expression caused public opinion to shift instantly.I took a step forward and looked down at her imperiously.“Mrs. Clarke, please go ahead and keep mak

Early the next morning, a major announcement spread like wildfire across several local industry group chats. The multinational corporation where Julian worked had officially issued an employment termination notice.The statement was written formally, yet every word was devastating.“Employee Mr. Julian Clarke has been terminated effective immediately due to gross violations of public order, involvement in multiple civil financial disputes and public security cases, and inflicting severe damage upon the company’s reputation.”The former “overseas-educated genius,” once put on a pedestal at the company, had become the laughingstock of the industry.At two in the afternoon, I was in the middle of leading a quarterly risk management review meeting at my company when the receptionist knocked on the conference room door and walked in looking slightly panicked.“Ms. Gibson, an elderly woman is causing a scene down in the lobby. Security can barely hold her back.”I closed my laptop, ask

Three days after visiting the city hall, I returned to the new apartment that had belonged to Julian and me. I wasn't there to reminisce. I was there to pack up my things.I had called a professional local moving team—four workers, all quick and efficient. I pointed at the items throughout the apartment, counting them off one by one.“This seventy-five-inch Sony TV, I bought it before the wedding. Pack it up.“The top-spec computer in the study, it’s mine. Pack it up.“The dozen-plus bottles of expensive wine and spirits in the wine cabinet, take them all.”The movers quickly got to work, packing everything into boxes.Julian used to love showing off this home on social media, calling it his cozy little nest. He had probably forgotten that for every truly valuable appliance and piece of furniture in this house, my name was on the receipt.While clearing out the walk-in closet, one of the movers brought down a locked leather box from the top storage shelf.“Ma’am, is this yours

I was driving on the road as I replied, “Oh, that’s pretty tragic.”“Haley! How can you be so heartless?” Julian completely blew up on the other end of the line. “I’m your husband! We’re married! Do you even understand the concept of joint marital liability? You must pay for half of this meal!”“Joint marital liability?” I couldn’t help but laugh out loud.“Julian, since you know nothing about the law, you should watch more legal education programs. Those twenty bottles of premium champagne and oysters were added to the bill after I left. You signed off on them without my permission. You and Wendy were the ones who made the purchase.“Furthermore, regarding that twelve-thousand-dollar wedding dress Wendy was wearing, you misappropriated funds from our joint account meant for purchasing a car. This money constitutes a malicious concealment or transfer of marital assets during the marriage. I have formally filed a lawsuit against Wendy for unjust enrichment, demanding that she return
