Report
Nadine Sullivan doesn't come home to have dinner with me on my birthday. Instead, she transfers 100 dollars to me and sends me a text, saying, "I love you." Coincidentally, a resident doctor at her hospital updates his social media with a photo. It's a screenshot of her transferring 10,000 dollars to him. She's also texted him, "I love you to the moon and back." I don't throw a tantrum or kick up a fuss. All I do is leave the city without hesitation. The first day after my departure, I hear that Nadine is unfazed. She says, "He'll be back after a few days." The first month after my departure, Nadine calls me. "I'll transfer 100 thousand dollars to you, alright? Can you come back now?" I've never wanted her money, though.

"Nadine, do you remember how hard you used to work to become a doctor?"Nadine was caught off guard by my question.I smiled faintly. "That's the version of you I fell in love with.Back then, she was like wild grass—battered by storms, but never broken.She threw herself into her studies, hunted for jobs, and pushed forward no matter how many times she hit a wall.Even on her worst days, she'd come home and tell me everything—laughing, venting, dreaming. We were genuinely happy back then."You were once strong, unshakable, and pure. But now… you're a different person altogether. You're tainted, and I can't love you anymore."You keep asking me to forgive you, but do you have any idea how many chances I already gave you?"Her eyes widened slightly. "What… are you talking about?""You started cheating five years ago. Dylan wasn't even the first."I took a breath, letting the memories resurface. "There were a few men before him. I knew about all of them. "But I never confront

"I saw every single one of Dylan's Instagram posts," I said.Nadine's face went pale in an instant.Harry had called me yesterday. He told me that Nadine only reached out because Dylan convinced her that I left because of money. She had no idea I'd seen Dylan's Instagram feed myself.I pulled out my phone and handed it to her. She scrolled through a few posts, and she went still. Her face stiffened with every swipe. "I… Would you believe me if I said it was just a moment of weakness?"I almost laughed."So, the ever-composed Dr. Sullivan has a ridiculous side after all. Ask yourself this—does your heart even believe what you're saying?"Nadine, cheating is cheating. Just admit it. I'll gladly step aside so you and Dylan can be together.""Zayn, I'm sorry." Tears spilled down her cheeks almost instantly. "I know I messed up. What I had with Dylan was just a fling. I don't love him. You're the only one I care about. I swear I'll change. I won't mess around again. Please… can y

Nadine's voice softened. "I know why you're mad. It's because I gave Dylan 10,000 dollars, right? He's a resident doctor under me and has helped me a lot. That's the only reason I gave him that much."I sent you 100 dollars because we're practically an old married couple. It was just a symbolic gesture. There's no need to give you more since our finances are shared anyway."Unbelievable. She had a way with words, I'd give her that.Somehow, she always managed to twist the truth until it felt like I was the one at fault.But she must've forgotten—she had never actually shared a cent with me. When she was in a good mood, she might have bought me a gift or picked up some things for the house.But when she was in a bad mood, I received nothing.She even once asked me to sign a prenup. "I'm scared you'll leave me someday. I have to protect myself, don't I?" she'd said. "Nadine, do you really take me for a fool? Let's forget about the money for now. But how about the rest? "The hou

"As long as you say yes, I'll treat you right for the rest of my life. I'll love you until we grow old," Nadine said.But now, she was saying those words to someone else. As it turned out, promises only carried weight in the moment they were spoken.When I landed, someone from the company came to pick me up. They'd already arranged a place for me to stay while I was here.I'd just finished showering and was about to rest when my phone rang. It was Nadine.Her voice was furious. "Zayn, you liar! How dare you leave? I never agreed to break up. Who said you could just walk away?""I never promised you that I wouldn't leave, so I wasn't lying." Her yelling didn't faze me anymore. I stayed calm throughout."Whether we've broken up or not, we're done. You have no say in the matter. You cheated on me, after all. And don't think I don't know about you and Dylan."She couldn't even find the words to respond.I let out a bitter laugh. "That's it, then. Seven years. Over."I hung up and

"Zayn, why don't we have dinner at Dylan's tonight? He's actually a great cook," Nadine said.Realizing she might have misspoken, she hurriedly added, "Well, he usually brings his own meals, but I tried his cooking once. And honestly, it was pretty good.""Yeah, Zayn. You have to come! I'll get of

It turned out that Nadine and Dylan had been fooling around behind my back more than I even realized.In truth, she and I had already argued over Dylan once. There was that one time she got drunk, and he carried her home.I was furious, of course. The next day, she brushed it off, saying, "Why are

Love, once tainted, could never return to what it once was.…Nadine still hadn't come home by nightfall. Meanwhile, Dylan had been flooding his social media feed with videos, giving me a clear view of what they were up to.Today was his first official day on the job, and Nadine was out celebrati

There were a few comments under Dylan Zimmer's latest post from Nadine Sullivan's friends—people I followed too."Damn, Nadine's really something, huh? She just casually transfers 10,000 dollars like it's nothing.""I just saw Zayn's post. Nadine only sent him 100 dollars. It looks like Dylan mean
