All Chapters of Ditch Him and Start Again: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

When I woke up, it was already dark outside. We previously planned on having a barbecue tonight. I went to the barbecue area out in the garden to find that my colleagues were already eating. The only spot left at the table was beside Zachary, so I had no choice but to sit there.As soon as I took my seat, Zachary questioned, "Where's your wedding ring?""I threw it away."Zachary slammed his cutlery down and roared, "That's enough! When did you become so unreasonable anyway? You're giving me attitude when all I did was spend the day with Anna! "Her health is frail, so what's the big deal if I help her out a bit more? Why are you so vicious? Don't you have even an ounce of sympathy in you?""Zachary's right," Isaac chimed in. "You should be a kinder person, Elaine. You even refused to get the medication for Anna's headache. She would've been in so much pain if I hadn't had the foresight to pack some just in case."Anna also pretended to be extremely hurt. Leaning against Zachary,

Once Anna finished speaking, she slapped me in the face over a dozen times. I did my best to struggle, but I couldn't escape from the clutches of two grown men.As Zachary stood on the side and watched, he even reminded me, "Hurry up and admit your mistakes, or else I won't take pity on you!"The moment he finished speaking, the office door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in. Mom and Dad showed up with their bodyguards to save me. Freed from my captors, I leaned weakly in Mom's arms.The bodyguards grabbed Anna, Zachary, Sean, and Isaac before forcing them to their knees.Standing in front of the four of them, Dad roared, "Who's the one who injured my daughter's legs?"All of them remained silent, too frightened to speak.I pointed at Sean. He stuck his foot out to trip me!Dad signaled the bodyguards with a nod, and they immediately used the glass shards to injure the four of them as well.Mom helped me to my feet. I brought out the spare divorce agreement I ke

The next day, Zachary showed up again. As soon as I got off work, I saw a bed of rose petals at the entrance to the office building, along with candles arranged in the shape of a heart. Inside it was Zachary, kneeling on one knee with a bouquet of roses in hand.It reminded me of the day he proposed to me. It was on my 20th birthday, and we were in our second year of college. He decorated the beach to make it look like a garden because I told him I loved flowers.At the time, he used tiny flowers that made the beach look like it was dotted with stars. That was because I'd once told him I didn't like large, bold flowers. I didn't like roses either.The old him seared all of my likes and dislikes to memory, but the current him had long forgotten about everything."I'm here to apologize, Elaine. I was just too clueless in the past. Only now do I realize you've always been the one I love! "We've shared so many memories together, Elaine. You've become a part of me. There's no way I ca

On the day of our new product's launch, I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. Gary used a tissue to wipe them for me while saying, "Don't be anxious. We must have confidence in ourselves."With his help and support, I slowly calmed down and composed myself. He brought out the food he prepared and gave it to me. "I know you wouldn't have time to eat breakfast, so I made some food for you. Eat up. You'll do better on a full stomach!"I smiled. Ever since he joined me at the company, he had not only been a reliable right-hand man at work but also took great care of me on a personal level too."Thank you," I said as I gave his hand a squeeze.He blushed and walked off to get me some water.Once everything was ready, I went into the conference hall. Just as I was about to go up on stage to give my speech, the doors flew open, and a crowd of people burst in.Zachary, Isaac, and Sean marched in together. Anna was with them too, but she was all tied up.Immediately, the sound of
