All Chapters of Dear Ex-husband, I Don't Love You Anymore : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

DIANA I stared at the laptop screen for a God knows how long. The words I was reading burned itself into my brain. The message was from my old laptop and from my other Gmail account and it had obviously been typed by Nathan. I checked the time the email had been sent, 2:45 AMNathan loved his sleep, if there was anything I knew about him, it was that he would never stay up till 2AM for any reason at all. I read the email again. “Diana, I found out you're telling the truth. As much as I don't want it to be true, I've found out that Neah had really died that day. And I had a hand in killing her. I regret my actions. These past few days have been very intense for me. I can't start to imagine what you're going through and I don't want to compare my pain with yours but I'm deeply hurt. I've made a lot of mistakes and I might still make a lot of mistakes, but I'm trying to be better. For both of us. The future is right in front of us, I don't want to sound cliche but I'm willing to sta

DIANA When I entered the house, Jaylen was sitting on the couch, alone. I closed the door behind me and dropped my bag on the table. “Why did you leave without me?” “Huh?” “You left when I told you to wait. You chose the bus instead, why?”“I'm not in the mood to explain. I'm actually very tired”There were many different things going on in my mind. I was wondering if I should wait till two weeks while they verify my new status.“How did your interview go?”“A problem came up. They didn't really complete the interview, they just congratulated me.”“What problem?” “It doesn't matter for now. Would you ever tamper with my university registration?”“No. Why would you ask that?” “I'm just curious.” “I know that you're smart, so there was no need to tamper with your registration, I knew that you'd get the admission.” I ran my fingers through my hair and took a deep sigh, the house was quiet and Jaylen was still staring at me with eyes that said he was extremely worried“What's wron

DIANAI stood there, wondering what the hell he meant by that. He was waiting for an answer. “You're more than enough Jaylen, You're one of the best gifts that life has ever given to me. You're the best thing in my life right now.”I was telling the truth, those words had come from the deepest parts of my soul. And yet there were more words I would never say out loud. Words like; I went to sleep last night wondering what it was like to be the one in your bed. I'm jealous of Storm, I'm jealous that over and over again, you never choose me. A little bit, maybe just a little bit, I want to know what it's like to be yours, but you don't want that and I feel like a fool. Since Neah's passing, you've been the light guiding me through every hour of the day. But instead I finished it off by saying. “You're the best brother anyone can ever ask for. You're the only person remaining from my childhood, I would never want to lose you.” His eyes darkened, I watched it happen. “I don't want yo

JAYLEN The word angry felt too thin to compare the giant amount of emotions beating around my chest and flowing through my veins. “You better have cancer.” I said as I entered the office. If Ark heard what I said, he made no show of it. He casually walked over to the swivel chair and sank into it. He turned his attention not to me, but to the window and he gazed out of it for a few seconds before turning to me. “I didn't really mean to interrupt you.” He said. A lie. “I don't believe you.”“I checked the entire house and there were no signs of you. You left the house unguarded.” he stared at me with a look that resembled disgust. “Imagine I was someone else. Imagine it was–” “No one is after my life, Ark. There is no danger.” a lie that I'd been trying to convince myself of. As long as I'm Jaylen, there might always be danger. And I was trying to change that, for Diana. “Do you sincerely see a future with her?” Ark asked but I had no inclination to answer him. He saw throug

It was silent and still in the room. The air was not just heated but it was also charged.“Diana, you will let me help you.” It wasn't a request, it was like an order. “I understand that you want to be independent, but give me the chance to help you now, until you get back on your feet. I want to take care of you.”I did not need to fight this, or fight him. I knew that I didn't. I can trust him. I nod my head.“Okay. Until I get back on my feet.” “I was worried about you, and you wouldn't pick up your phone.” His eyes were soft and needing. He reached out and with his thumb, he made soothing motions on my bottom lip. I froze, because it was just like our shared moment in the kitchen before Ark interrupted. Thankfully. We would have made a mistake, if it led to a bed, we would regret it… Wouldn't we? I wouldn't. The realization hit me and my pupils dilated in shame, I was angry because Ark interrupted but if there was no one to bear witness to it, I wouldn't be ashamed. It wo
