We Stopped Loving Each Other Chapter 9
(Nicholas’ POV)During my tenth year with Audrey, she was still as beautiful as ever, but I had grown somewhat tired.It was not that I did not love her anymore. It was actually the opposite. We were so close that I just assumed she would always be there.I started brushing off the little things she asked for every now and then.Over time, I got so used to the good things in our relationship that I stopped appreciating them.I realized that I had been happily receiving all of Audrey’s love and effort, but I had become complacent and stopped putting in any effort myself.Even planning our destination wedding had become a chore.After all, Audrey was mine, and we would always be together.I figured if we really loved each other, we did not have to be attached at the hip.One night, I got set up. Annie, who was sitting beside me, sobbed as if her whole world had fallen apart. I felt bad for her. She was young and helpless, and she looked vulnerable.At first, I did not hav

I closed the door behind me.For a long while, I did not hear Nicholas leave. For the next few days, he secretly showed up. He rented the apartment across from mine.In the vase by his window, he placed a fresh rose every single day.Several times, when I worked late into the night, he would quietly walk me home.Before I left the country, my mother called me.“Rey, are you really breaking up with Nick for good?”“Mom, if you’re going to try and talk me into getting back together with him, don’t bother.”What my mother said next made me so stunned that I stopped moving my mouse.“I’m not trying to talk you into anything, Rey. You should put in a request with your company to go abroad. Annie jumped from a building.”I did not like Annie, but hearing that she had passed away, as a fellow human being, I still felt a momentary pang of sadness.On the other end of the line, my mother kept rambling.“Yesterday, she went to the tallest office building in town and jumped. The phon

Nicholas’ voice sounded hoarse and dejected.I was about to end the call when he said urgently, “Rey, wait! Don’t hang up! Just let me explain!“I was manipulated. I had no idea what happened. I only did it with Annie once, and I never crossed the line again! You can check and ask anyone all you want! “I already quit my job. Rey, you can do whatever you want with me. Please don’t block me...”After he was done, I hung up.I scoffed inwardly as I put my phone away. Why did I even hope he would choose the right words? After blocking his new number, I threw myself completely into my work.Briar had indeed kept her word and introduced me to many men. But I was not ready to date again. As I advanced in my career, my efforts paid off. I finally had a steady, comfortable income that made me feel secure and happy.“Rey, I put your name in for the overseas rotation. The branch abroad needs a manager, and you’re my best employee. Don’t make me regret it when you get there.”I was

The work group chat flooded with messages attacking me.After scrolling through the chat, I learned that Nicholas had left Annie alone at home.Annie had slit her wrist. She was only saved when a colleague found her.[@Audrey, how cruel can you be? You drove a young girl to attempt ending her own life. You’re a woman too! How could you destroy another woman’s reputation with lies?][She’s practically middle-aged already, isn’t she? That’s exactly how bitter old women act. No wonder Nick never married her all these years. He must have seen her for what she really is!][I’ve already talked to management about firing Audrey!]Annie was so quick to act.Very quickly, my direct supervisor, Briar Perry, called me.“Audrey, the branch office filed a complaint against you for defaming a colleague. You’ve just freshly transferred to headquarters, and this is already happening. Take care of it.”“Okay.”After I hung up, the work chat flooded again.Nicholas had spoken up in my defense

The engine was loud. My phone kept buzzing with messages.The house was sold, and the consignment contract for my old stuff was signed.Among all the notifications, one message stood out.[Rey, once you’re on that train, don’t look back. Otherwise, I’ll tell Nick right now about your secretly signed transfer paperwork.][I don’t have what you have. Nicholas is my best shot, and I’ll do whatever it takes to keep him.]After confirming that I had seen it, Annie recalled the message.She was truly cautious.But she had forgotten that in the digital age, everything left traces. I turned off my phone and watched the scenery outside the window grow increasingly blurry. I felt light and liberated, like the wind rushing behind a moving train.Despite still being hurt by what happened, I pushed it aside. As long as I did not think about it, I would forget about it.By midnight, Nicholas finally sent me a message, asking where I had gone.I ignored it.A moment later, he sent anot

“Why didn’t you text back?” Nicholas was out of breath. He must have rushed over.Annie spoke with a sharp, mocking tone.“Rey, if you’re going to be jealous, at least do it at the right time. Nick walked out of a business dinner just to come find you.”The colleagues around us all cast strange glances in my direction.I knew Annie was doing it on purpose.She was deliberately shifting the blame onto me to humiliate me.Nicholas probably caught on to that as well, but he said nothing.After a brief silence, she shoved her phone in front of my face.“Rey, you’re upset just because Nick made a travel plan for me, and I got him a ticket in return, aren’t you?“Seriously, don’t overthink this. I invited a lot of people on this trip, not just him.“I’ll send you the whole itinerary right now to prove I’m not hiding anything. Is that enough for you?”Her voice grew more intense as she spoke. With red-rimmed eyes, she jabbed at her phone as if venting her frustration.She delibera
