The Last Divorce Chapter 10
If Ryland could find me once, he could find me a second time. I wanted him gone from my life forever."The doctor said it's a lingering effect from the accident. These fainting spells may continue for a long time."Ryland looked like he wanted to say something, but I didn't give him the chance."Don't misunderstand. Even if it had been a complete stranger, I would've helped if I saw them collapse."The light in his eyes dimmed for a moment before returning. Maybe he was still holding onto a shred of hope. After all, I was still the first person he'd seen when he woke up."Besides, you helped me when we were kids. I helped you this time, so we're even now. I'm begging you. Please stop interfering with my life."Whatever he had wanted to say was cut off by my final words."Let's never see each other again, Ryland."He struggled to get out of bed, but the dizziness overwhelmed him. The moment his feet touched the floor, he lost his balance and crashed heavily to the ground.In th

Whether by coincidence or deliberate planning, Ryland saw a ginkgo tree standing outside my apartment building.It was late autumn. Golden leaves blanketed the ground beneath the tree.Ryland stood there holding my favorite cake and a bouquet he knew I loved. The scene was almost identical to the day he confessed his feelings to me."Cammie."As I approached the tree, he stepped out from behind it.However, the girl he once loved in his youth would never again see him as the boy she loved."Twelve years ago, I confessed to you beneath a ginkgo tree. Twelve years later, I'm asking you to marry me beneath one."A proposal.I almost laughed.So he did know we were divorced, and not just once, but nine times.I'd spent eight long years clinging to those beautiful memories. In the end, all they brought me was a ninth divorce.Those memories had turned into a joke to me. They were the beginning of every pain I hated most today."Cammie, will you give me one more chance?" He dropp

$2 million was nothing more than a luxury item to Ryland.In contrast, for me, it was security.At the very least, once I decided where I wanted to settle down, I wouldn't have to worry about having a place to live."Ms. Cameron, you and Mr. Webster are still in the divorce waiting period. The asset settlement can't be transferred to your account until the waiting period ends."I nodded.That was only fair.I still had some savings from the years I worked before. It was more than enough to get me through until the divorce became official.Damon pushed another card across the table."Mr. Webster specifically asked me to give this to you. Since you're not legally divorced yet, this is the alimony he wants you to have for this month."Judging by Damon's expression, there was more he wanted to say.It was exactly how wealthy men like Ryland thought. He loved throwing money at problems and dressing it up as devotion. To people like him, anything that could be solved with money was

However, he'd forgotten something.When we lost our child, I was the one who suffered most.The guilt I felt toward him and our baby...The devastating news that I might never be able to have children again...All of that grief piled on top of itself. Then he said those words that cut straight through my heart.Did he ever regret them?Did he ever notice me locking myself in the bathroom, breaking down, and hurting myself over and over again?He did. He saw everything. He knew exactly how much pain I was in.Sadly, he was blinded by resentment, and he pushed all the blame onto me.Maybe that was the moment disappointment first planted its seed in my heart. Every time he asked for a divorce because of another woman, that seed grew a little larger. Now, it had become a towering tree, one that could never be uprooted....Ryland simply told Jasmine, "I've been discharged from the hospital today." Then he ended the call.The only thing he still believed he hadn't been wrong a

My plane took off on schedule.The long flight didn't leave me feeling exhausted. If anything, the farther I got from the place that had caused me so much pain, the lighter I felt.The moment the plane touched down, a genuine smile finally appeared on my face. It had been a long time since I'd smiled like that. Eight years of emotional exhaustion had stolen it from me.I used to think the worst thing in the world was losing the person you loved most. Now I realized the worst thing was losing yourself because you loved someone too much.The moment I turned my phone back on, countless messages flooded in. Every single one was from Ryland.[Cammie, I was in a car accident.][Cammie, can you come back? I can't live without you.][I really thought I was never going to see you again. Do you know how scared I was?]The fact that he could send so many messages told me he was already out of danger.Every word was meant to win me back.But what about reality? Jasmine Harper was still b

Ryland ran as fast as he could, but no matter how hard he pushed himself, two legs could never outrun four wheels.Even so, he had to do everything in his power to stop me from leaving.That feeling of dread kept circling through his mind. He had a terrifying certainty that if I left this time, I would be gone forever.He saw me lower the brim of my hat and walk past him at the hospital.Ever since last night, when I hadn't called him once or sent him a single message, the unease had only grown.Then, that morning, he'd jolted awake and found that I was not in the space beside him. The anxiety had nearly swallowed him whole.For the first time, he ignored the other woman's pleading and attempts to keep him there. Without hesitation, he left.Watching the car carrying me disappear farther and farther into the distance, Ryland knew that if this continued, he would lose any chance he had left.So he spun around, jumped back into his car, and slammed his foot onto the accelerator.
