Semua Bab Everyone Believed in Our Love, But I Knew It Wouldn't Survive: Bab 1 - Bab 10

I ignored Jakob's open announcement of his love for me on social media and went home. Then, I asked a maid for a pair of scissors.I pulled out the matching custom-designed shirt I had made and cut it into shreds.The sound of the fabric being torn apart was soft, but they seemed to have left slices on my heart.Then, I picked up the shredded fabric and placed our ring into a box labeled "Second Mate Bond Gift."I meant to give this box to Jakob on the day I was going to leave.Maybe he would be thrilled when he received it. Or maybe excited, happy…But he didn't know that I was also returning all my shattered tenderness and love to him.Once I had tucked the box away, I ran into Jakob who came back home.He smiled at me fondly as he took my hand and led me outside."Honey! The surprise I planned for you is here! Come see it!"Once outside, a massive pink gift box greeted me.Jakob snapped his fingers, and the box automatically opened.As a flurry of balloons and confetti burst into th

I walked into the villa and looked out the window, toward the parking lot not far away.Molly's pink Ferrari had already driven away. Even the smoke it left behind felt like a sneer.I took out my phone and called my mother. "Mom, I'm coming back to the Palemoon Pack in seven days. I want to see you and Dad."My mom immediately felt the tremble in my voice from the other side. She anxiously asked, "Cynthia, are you coming back alone or with Jakob?"I said with a hoarse voice. "I'm coming home alone."I could hear my mother's silence. She quickly understood what I meant from what I hadn't said.She suppressed her fury and worry and did her best to console me. "Don't be upset. I'll pick you up."I whispered okay, and tears finally rolled down my cheeks.Later that night, Jakob finally came home. He woke me up with his burning kiss.He was all drunk and kissed me again and again as he held my face.Perhaps he was still uneasy about the anger yesterday, so he kept on whispering w

"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you feeling pain anywhere? I'll get the healer right away!" Jakob immediately got up, but I stopped him.I asked him in a hoarse voice, "Why are you here?"Jakob was stunned by my question.When the healer called, he was dining with Molly and her parents. When he heard about my accident, he didn't hesitate when he rushed over, leaving Molly and her family behind.Thankfully, my wolf was quite powerful, and most of my injuries were healed, so I was mostly fine.He then said, "I was having dinner with my business partners. We were finalizing details for a big project, but when the healer called me about the accident, I came right away."I repeated parts of his sentence. "Dinner with your business partners?"Jakob held my hands up to his cheek, as if trying to show his vulnerable side. "That's right. Business talks are quite exhausting."Another lie.I closed my eyes slowly and didn't offer him any comforting words.Jakob accompanied me, but

It was half-past six. Jakob was waiting at the hotel entrance.Many guests had already arrived, most of them were our mutual friends.Jakob scanned the banquet hall, but he couldn't find me. He frowned tightly and pulled out his phone and dialed my number."Number you have dialed is unavailable…"When the robotic voice reached Jakob, his heart skipped a beat as a chill went down his spine.Was Cynthia angry? Was she not going to attend the banquet tonight?His fingers clenched tightly, his mind spinning.He forced himself to recall…In the afternoon, when they were having lunch, he suddenly received news that Molly was showing signs of a miscarriage. He left Cynthia behind and rushed Molly to the hospital.The doctor said it was induced by stress. He needed to accompany her more.Today was Cynthia's birthday. He planned to take care of Molly quickly and return to spend the evening with Cynthia.However, Molly refused to let him leave as she held onto him from the hospital be

Jakob's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't even remember how he had walked into the hall.It wasn't until he was standing in the bonding ceremony hall that he was stunned in place.On the massive LED screen, it was playing the following photos in sequence. The official mate bond termination agreement between him and Cynthia, the ninety-nine wedding photos of him and Molly, and the photos of him dining with Molly's parents…Jakob staggered back and collapsed into a chair, as if his soul had been ripped from his body.The moments he had spent with Cynthia during this time started to play in his mind.Only then did he realize that Cynthia must have known about Molly all this time.Otherwise, she wouldn't have looked at him with such hollow eyes when he left her during lunch.And her goodbye sounded like a final farewell.Here, he foolishly thought that he had hidden everything perfectly.But his relationship with Molly was just physical! He didn't have any feelings for her
