Chapter 10

"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.

    "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.

    "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

    But hadn't Nadine already stopped loving me?"I'm breaking up with you. Nadine, I don't want this to go on anymore," I said.The moment those words left my mouth, I felt a strange lightness wash over me. We'd been together for seven years, but only the first two were truly happy.The last five had been a slow drift. She had been constantly pulling away and becoming distant. And during that time, I said nothing. I just endured it quietly.I convinced myself that if I didn't say anything, perhaps our love would somehow hold on.But I forgot one thing. Once love turned sour, the whole foundation crumbled—slowly but surely."Are you breaking up with me?" Nadine's eyes widened in disbelief, and those once beautiful eyes were now filled with shock."Yes. I'm breaking up with you.""Zayn, I'm giving you one last chance to take it back. I can still pretend that you never said a thing."But I stood firm. "No. I'm breaking up with you."She slapped me hard, and the sharp sting burned a

    "Oh, I'm just planning a little trip," I said offhandedly, making up a quick excuse.I'd thought about leaving many times before, and every time, I told Nadine. But once she caught wind of it, there was no way out. She would always stop me.Honestly, I never understood why. She'd already cheated on me. Wouldn't it be easier for her if I just left?Nadine looked confused, though. "But he said he's going to rent a place for you.""Maybe he messed up his words. He probably meant he booked a room for me. I'm only going for two days."With that, she let out a sigh of relief. "Alright, then. When are you leaving?""Tomorrow."Dylan cut in at this moment. "Let's eat first. Today's all about making up for your birthday, Zayn." …After dinner, Nadine and I went back home together. She kept stealing glances at me, trying to hide it but failing miserably."You're really not mad, right? I'm just Dylan's senior doctor. He's always been decent to me, so I got a little closer to him.""I'
