All Chapters of No Longer in Love: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

At the hospital, I forced myself to keep working through the painful rash on my neck.Just as the IV drip was finishing, I got an unexpected call from my brother, Michael.His voice came through the line with a light chuckle before he said, “Rosie, you lost.”Six years ago, I returned to the country for a friend’s party when I was in a car accident.Trapped inside the wreckage, it was Mark who risked his life to pull me out.From that moment, I fell hopelessly in love with him.So I went against my family’s wishes and chose to stay after graduation.I accepted a job at Mark’s company as his secretary, all so I could take care of him.Michael never liked Mark and never believed in our relationship. However, I was too obsessed with Mark to listen to anyone.So I made a bet with my brother.I had seven years. If Mark hadn’t fallen for someone else by then, I’d win ten percent of the family shares as my wedding dowry.If I lost, I’d go back home and agree to arranged dates.Wit

When I went to pay for my medication at the hospital, I discovered Mark had quietly frozen my credit card.To make matters worse, my phone was completely dead.Alone in a foreign country, I swallowed the lump rising in my throat.I began asking around to borrow money. Eventually, a kind young woman helped me out.Finally, I bought the medicine. Just as I was about to patch myself up, my phone powered back on, and Mark’s call came through immediately.“Rosie, where are you? Why haven’t you been answering?“There was an incident at the square. Where did you run off to? Are you okay?”I couldn’t tell if the concern in his voice was real or not.I kept my reply short. “I’m fine. My phone just died.”The moment he heard I was okay, I could feel him exhale in relief. Then his tone shifted back to cold impatience.“Get to the airport. Lana’s not feeling well, so we’re flying back.”Before I could respond, I heard Lana’s teary voice in the background.“Mark, my stomach hurts so m

Of course, Mark recognized Nathan. He was the man Lana had pined over for ten years.Now, seeing Nathan standing beside me so intimately, Mark looked utterly stunned.“Mr. Hill, let me introduce you properly. This is my husband, Nathan Knight. I believe you’ve met,” I said calmly.“I get it. You’re still mad about my proposal to Lana.”Mark’s brain jumped to its own conclusion. He was convinced he was right. “Rosie, come on! You’re really going this far? You even dragged him into your little show just to mess with me!”I didn’t even bother to explain, speechless by his logic.His belief, or lack thereof, meant nothing to me now.Just then, Grandpa Will’s birthday banquet officially began. One by one, guests lined up to offer their blessings to him.All eyes turned toward the stage as the emcee’s voice rang out, “Now, let’s welcome Mr. Knight and his wife!”Everyone in attendance was dying to see who the Crowned Prince of Genovia had married.That was until Nathan appeared,

Not knowing who the father of her child was, Lana was just trying to find someone to play dad.Out of all her options, Mark was the most loyal.He was the perfect sucker, blindly worshiping his unforgettable first love.I had thought the Markles might sweep the whole mess under the rug, especially with Nathan choosing not to pursue the scandal.However, since they wanted to drag it back into the light, I wasn’t going to play nice anymore.“Take a good, hard look at your 'pure' first love!”Then I pushed the door and stormed out of the cafe.I was still fuming when suddenly I saw Lana standing right outside.The moment she spotted me, she ran straight toward Mark.“Mark! You proposed, didn’t you? Tell me you did it!“As long as she divorces Nathan, I’ll finally have a chance!”Hearing Lana’s words, I was furious.“Lana, I knew you were shameless, but not that shameless. Do you get off on stealing other women’s boyfriends or husbands?”Her face went deathly pale.It seemed
