Chapter 5

Author: Autumn Leaf
"Perry, it seems like you've learned some new tricks. When threatening me with your resignation didn't work, you started threatening me with divorce.

"Fine. Whoever refuses to get divorced is a loser anyway."

With that, Gina stormed off.

I let out a long sigh. It really was time to end this.

I packed my bags as quickly as possible and booked the earliest flight to leave this place.

I headed to Jerome City, where Liam was based.

Before boarding the plane, I sent the divorce agreement to Gin

  • To Flee a Dying Love   Chapter 10

    Gina's lips moved a little, but in the end, she said nothing.The moment I boarded the plane, I finally said goodbye to the city where I had wasted ten years of my life. I might never come back.After returning to the company, I felt years younger.Everyone joked that I'd secretly gotten plastic surgery.I raised the thermos in my hand and pointed to the lemon slices floating inside."Maybe lemon detox really works."Eve covered her mouth and giggled. She was the one who had given me the lemons."Mr. Camelot, you're not getting any younger. You need to start taking better care of yourself."Thinking about what she'd said, I realized she was right. I really did need to take better care of myself.Before leaving work, I messaged Eve and asked her out to dinner.She replied with a cute sticker.[Sure!]The sense of freedom I'd been missing for so long made the dinner especially relaxing.After the meal, we took a walk together along the street.Eve asked with a playful smile

    Sensing that I was hinting at something else, Gina finally gave up.Tears glistened in her eyes, and her voice trembled despite her efforts to hold it steady."I've been so tired all these years. I never dared to stop, not even for a moment. I was afraid of getting old. I was afraid of dying."Then Mike came along and made me feel young again. He knows how to make me happy, so I always wanted to be around him. But I never had real feelings for him. You were always the one I truly loved."I listened to Gina's tearful confession without feeling any emotion whatsoever.People always seemed to learn how to cherish something only after they'd lost it.What good did that do now?I said calmly with a blank expression, "Gina, our story is over. Let's part on good terms. Don't make this any uglier than it needs to be."After a long silence, Gina finally wiped the tears from her face and said one word with difficulty, "Okay."When I finally heard her agree to the divorce, I let out a si

    I pushed Gina's hand away and shouted, "How many times do I have to say it before you'll leave me alone? Don't you understand plain English?"I want a divorce!"Can you understand that now?"I never expected Gina to disregard my dignity so completely that she would come to Liam's company and demand that he hand me over.She had never respected me. She had never even seen me as an independent person.For years, I had indulged and spoiled her, and it had made her believe she was my master.The thought itself was hilarious.My shouting left Gina stunned. Her cheeks immediately turned red.She lowered her gaze and said softly, "Perry, I was wrong. Please don't divorce me.""No. The way you're acting now is making me sick of you. Please leave. Don't interfere with my work."I rejected her without hesitation.After everything she'd done, what right did she have to ask me for forgiveness?Seeing this, Liam also decided it was time to end the conversation."Show her out."Gina ha

    Eve laughed at what I said and promised that she would give it her all.After seeing Eve off, I happened to come across another post from Mike.[Gina's the best boss ever! Not only did she bring me along on this trip, but she also bought me a ton of stuff. I wouldn't mind working for her forever.]There were two photos that showed two plane tickets for the trip home and a pile of luxury shopping bags.Gina commented under the post.[Who's to blame when you're such a good boy? Of course I have to spoil you. You're totally unlike someone else who does nothing but make me angry. He's not worth it.]I liked the post and closed the app.Gina should find out soon enough that I had left.The next morning, I was jolted awake by a call from Gina."Perry, I've been away from home for a few days. Where have you been?"Her tone was as pushy as ever, but I caught a hint of panic in it."You thought I'd fall apart without you, didn't you? Well, let me tell you something. Not only am I doi

    She was silent for a moment before speaking dismissively. "Perry, don't be so childish. Do you really think threatening me with divorce is going to accomplish anything? Who's going to want you after you leave me? You're a middle-aged man who is practically at the bottom of the social ladder."I smiled calmly. "Don't worry about that."Even now, Gina still thought I was joking.I was barely in my thirties, yet in her eyes, I was already no different from some old man waiting to retire.All these years, my entire life had revolved around her, so she assumed I couldn't survive without her.It was truly ridiculous.After becoming a bachelor again, I felt an exhilarating sense of freedom I hadn't experienced in years.I went to the mall and bought myself some new clothes. I also signed up for a gym membership near my new place.It felt like I was starting my life over, and I decided that this time, I would take good care of myself.When I returned to the office, Liam looked at me w

You look a lot more worn out than I expected."Seeing how sharp and energetic Liam seemed in his expensive suit, I couldn't help but feel a little ashamed of myself.Money really did seem to make the man. We were the same age, yet Liam looked years younger than me.I shook my head and let out a sigh.Liam patted me on the shoulder. "What's done is done. From n
