All Chapters of My Story No Longer Includes You: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

All throughout their seven-year marriage, Connor Shaw would always offer prayer and worship to the God of his Fyerian faith before he ravished Sylvie Waverly.As they did the deed before the home altar, Sylvie couldn't stand the pain. She turned around to beg for mercy."Keep your mask in place, and don't turn around," Connor instructed quietly.Sylvie was briefly startled, but Connor soon made it impossible for her to focus. After some time, she heard him let out a low moan.She was a little out of it as she lay on the cold, hard floor. Her legs were still trembling.Now that the deed was done, Connor calmly pulled on a white dressing gown before tossing Sylvie a handkerchief. "Wipe it up. Don't sully God's eyes."Sylvie took a while to recover. Then, after she'd shakily put on her clothes and turned to leave, she heard Connor on the phone with his doctor, Gerald Dunn. Standing just outside the door, he openly stated, "I only married Sylvie to deal with my compulsive sexual di

When Sylvie opened her eyes once more, she found herself lying on a hospital bed. She heard Connor's friends grumbling beside her."Everyone in Jewelton knows Connor is celibate. Even after he married Sylvie, he never touched her. Who knows how she got pregnant? What if Anna hadn't found out in time? Did Sylvie expect Connor to raise some other bastard's kid?""Sylvie's hopelessly in love with Connor, but Connor is keeping himself chaste. I bet she wanted to use a kid to hold over Connor's head. What a dumb, evil woman.""Back in the olden days, a bitch like her would've been burned at the stake!"Sylvie had just woken up. Her throat was too dry for her to speak. She looked at Connor. Only he knew the baby was his.Connor sensed her gaze on him, but after hesitating briefly, he stayed silent.Sylvie withdrew her gaze without a second thought. She'd forgotten that Connor didn't love her at all. Why would he sully his celibate, religious image for her sake?Once his friends left,

Sylvie instantly recognized the pearl. It was the one she spat out when she took on a human form all those years ago.She raised her auction paddle and called out, "I'm bidding 500 million dollars."As soon as she finished speaking, the crowd burst into commotion.Connor looked at Sylvie in shock. "Have you lost your mind? Even if you're jealous, you shouldn't be hiking up the price like that."Sylvie couldn't even be bothered to look at him as she replied, "It's none of your business. I'm not spending your money."When she first came to the human world, she pawned off many of the treasures she brought from the underwater realm. All that money was stored in her private bank account, and she had more than enough to buy the pearl.Anna was displeased to see Connor talking to Sylvie. "Connor, I want you to help me get the Pearl of the Merpeople!"For the first time, Connor was a little hesitant when it came to fulfilling one of Anna's requests. Shaw Group was currently facing a bit

Connor accompanied Anna to the park to watch the fireworks display. Yet, for some reason, the sacred beaded bracelet he wore suddenly broke apart.When Anna saw the way Connor's expression turned dark, she grumbled in faint displeasure, "Connor, are you still worried about that bitch?"Doing his best to compose himself, Connor stroked her hair gently and said, "Why would I be? I'm going to spend today doing everything you want with you."Just then, a young woman approached with a bouquet and said, "Hi there! Our flower shop is doing a promotion today. If couples can prove their compatibility by answering three questions with matching answers at the same time, we will give the couple a free bouquet."Connor and Anna accepted the challenge.The young girl asked, "Where did you have your first date?""At the park.""At the cinema."Anna tugged on Connor's sleeve and said, "Are you misremembering things? We watched a romantic comedy at the cinema for our first date."Connor stiffe

Over the next few days, it was the talk of the town in Jewelton that Connor seemed to have descended into madness.He had missing person notices published in all the newspapers and media channels in a frenzied attempt to locate Sylvie. He even forked out a huge sum of money to create a mermaid statue in her honor and had it installed in the center of the downtown square, right in the heart of the city.Connor's hard-earned reputation fell by a landslide. Larson Group withdrew its investments, and Shaw Group's share prices took a nosedive, too.Furious, the shareholders held a meeting to demand that Connor come forward and salvage the situation. However, right in front of all the shareholders, many of whom had been with the company since its infancy, he said, "There won't be any further discussions on this matter until Sylvie is found."…Connor called Nick to find everything he could on merpeople. However, Nick said reluctantly, "Mr. Shaw, please stop clinging to such delusions.
