All Chapters of Never Coming Back: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Aren’t you worried Nina will discover the truth?”Jason Law was quiet for a moment before saying, “She won’t find out.”“Are you sure?”“She trusts me.” His tone was certain. “She won’t suspect a thing if I’m the one telling her.”After another short silence, his friend said, “As long as you don’t regret it.”Jason chuckled lightly. “I won’t.”So that was how it was.I stood outside the door, my nails digging into my flesh. It hurt so much, but I was going numb.I had only come here to bring him some clothes. It was getting cold, and I was worried he was not wearing enough layers.Now, however, I felt like my heart was being sliced open. A cold wind blew through my chest.I stumbled home, too exhausted to even turn on the lights. My knees buckled and I collapsed onto the couch, curled up and shivering. I felt nauseous and dizzy. Tears spilled from my eyes soundlessly, but I did not have the energy to wipe them away.The door knob clicked. He was back.I heard the sound o

His expression stiffened, and he hesitated. I purposely raised a brow, my tone light. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to go with me?”He could not quite meet my gaze. “No, I’m just… worried you’ll be too tired. Besides, I have a meeting tomorrow at work. How about another day?”I looked at him and chuckled, my tone soft and considerate. “It’s fine. Your work comes first. I can go alone.”He seemed to heave a sigh of relief. He rubbed my head with a smile, his tone indulgent. “What would I do without such a wonderful wife like you?”On the day of the surgery, Jason suddenly pulled out a small bracelet and put it on my wrist before leaving for work.“This is for you.” His tone was gentle as usual.I looked down at it. It was the free gift that came with the bracelet he bought for Rachel.My fingers curled into fists slightly, but I looked up at him with a smile. “Thanks. I love it.”His lips curved as he rubbed my hair, saying softly, “You’re always so sweet, Nina.”Before

I looked up at him and scoffed. “Explain? Explain what? How you tricked me into becoming someone else’s surrogate? Or how you comforted me while I was pregnant, only to turn around and comfort her as well?”Jason stiffened. His lips moved, but he could not say a word.Rachel rushed up to me in a slight panic, but she mostly seemed mocking and impatient. “Nina, how could you be so selfish? Do you have any idea what you’ve done? You killed…”I interrupted her with an ironic smirk. “What I did is none of your business. You should be more worried about what you’ll give birth to two months from now.”Rachel turned pale and took a step back, her hand holding her stomach while panic flooded her eyes. “What are you talking about?! I-I…”I could not be bothered to watch her act. I glanced past the other people in the room, my gaze eventually settling on my parents’ furious faces. As I thought, they had come here too.My mother stormed up to me angrily. “Nina! Do you still take us for your

“I told you, we’ve disowned you! Why are you still following us?!”The hall fell silent at her harsh words. Everyone’s gazes were trained on us. Jason stepped forward too, frowning deeply. “Nina, don’t.”I looked at him mockingly. Who was he trying to convince? Did he want me to stay quiet and not expose Rachel?“Enough!” Furious, my father slapped me across the face. “We should never have adopted you back then!”The sound of the slap echoed through the silent hall. My face was turned to the side from the impact of the slap, my cheek burning and my ears ringing. At the same time, my heart was calmer than ever before.So that was the truth. Everything made sense now.They were not showing favoritism toward Rachel. They simply never considered me a part of the family from the start. I was never their real daughter.I turned around slowly, looking at the man who called himself my father with a cold smirk. Just then—“Stop!” An angry woman’s voice took everyone by surprise.

“Do you know what our situation is like right now? We’re being ostracized by upper society!” His gaze was full of rage and regret as he glared at Rachel. “If it weren’t for you, we wouldn’t be in this state right now!”Rachel turned pale, her fingers shaking. “N-No way… That can’t be…”Her mother sneered. “If you hadn’t insisted on stealing Nina’s fiancé and ticking her off, she wouldn’t have turned on us like this! She’s the Buffetts’ daughter now! No matter what we do, there’s no way we can beat them!“You’re just… always good for nothing!”Rachel’s heart twisted in her chest, and she finally lost all control. “So it’s all my fault now? Weren’t you exactly the same? You told me to steal her fiancé, you let me bully her!”She screamed hysterically, “Haven’t you always defended me? Now that things are going pear-shaped, you’re pinning all the blame on me!”Her father slammed the door, roaring, “Don’t you yell at us! Look what you’ve done!“If Nina had just given birth to that ba
