Lahat ng Kabanata ng I Was Almost a Wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

Logan and I had been together for three years. I once thought we'd go the distance.But everything changed the day Janice joined the airline.Logan, who was usually stoic, couldn't stop smiling when he told me he'd been assigned a trainee. At first, there was a hint of frustration in his voice—subtle, but unmistakable."The new hire's all thumbs. She can't even handle filing without screwing it up. I have no idea how she's supposed to fly a plane. And seriously, I'm not even single anymore. The last thing I need is upper management leaving some rookie to hover around and make my life harder!"But over time, Logan started bringing up Janice more and more, and "the new hire" slowly turned into just "Jan".What he didn't seem to notice was how his whole expression softened whenever he mentioned her, like he couldn't help it.I saw it as plain as day. But I never said a word.Back then, I believed that someone who'd just shown up couldn't possibly come between Logan and me, consider

Logan rushed to the location Janice had shared, but he saw no sign of anyone following her. She was deep in party mode at some nightclub blasting music.One look at her flushed cheeks, and his irritation flared. "Seriously? You hauled me out in the middle of the night so I can watch you get wasted and trash every aviation rule we've sworn to follow?"Janice's doe eyes shimmered with sudden tears. Pouting, she let out a whiny protest. "But you were drinking with me, Logan! I just thought you weren't having any fun, so I called you out. I only made up that excuse because I knew Ellie would freak out."But her words only made Logan bristle.For the first time, he snapped at her, his voice edged with a sharpness she wasn't used to. "I only drank with you earlier because you said you couldn't handle your liquor. And now not only are you out here alone at a club, but you're dragging Ellie into it too? Seriously, how ridiculous can you be?"But Janice didn't seem to register his anger at

The second Logan read the comment, it hit him like a bolt of lightning. He snatched the phone out of Janice's hands and dove into the account.As soon as he tapped the profile picture, he realized it was me. To make it worse, Janice had been blowing up my DMs for the past three years.She'd sent me everything—moments like him buying her coffee without thinking, the matching couple's rings she'd begged him to wear, even photos of her resting against his abs on their trips together.Logan stared at Janice on the daybed in disbelief. But the moment he saw the smug little smirk tugging at the corners of her lips, white-hot rage snapped through him.He seized her throat. "Why the hell would you do this? Why would you try to come between me and Ellie? Did you drive her away?"The questions tumbled out of him, raw and frantic.But Janice just grinned, wicked and unbothered, like the devil herself. She finally saw everything for what it was, and the sarcasm in her voice hit him like a sl

Two months felt like nothing. To me, the past few years had just flown by in a haze.Now, I was thriving. I'd worked my way up to become the top flight attendant at Pavrielle Airlines, which flew to destinations all around the world.Chief Blackwell told me this position was always meant for me, but back then, he'd heard I was getting married. So he'd kept quiet about the opportunity, worried that the distance would be too much for me.He never imagined I'd end up resigning on my own.I told Mom and Dad about the transfer, and while I was at it, I let them know I'd called off the wedding with Logan too.Relief washed over them, but it was short-lived before worry took hold."Ellie, you're going to be all by yourself out there. Watch out for sketchy people. And eat proper meals. Stop starving yourself just to stay thin…"Their voices faded into the usual chorus of concern, but for the first time in a long while, I felt genuine happiness.Logan and I had fallen in love in college

Just when I thought my blunt rejection would make Logan back off, he scooped up the ring box from the floor with a desperate kind of sadness and then dropped to his knees in front of me.I couldn't even put my feelings into words.Was it the thrill of watching the golden boy fall from grace? Or the satisfaction of seeing someone who once ignored me now begging at my feet?Maybe it was both.But as I looked at him, so utterly broken, it was like staring at my own pathetic reflection from years ago.Logan knelt silently before me, like he was bracing for the storm of my anger.But all I did was let out a tired sigh and turn away, ready to walk off, until I felt him grab the hem of my shirt like his life depended on it.In that instant, the calm I'd been clinging to for two months shattered, and the fury came roaring back to life.Unable to hold back anymore, I snapped, "Who are you trying to fool with this act of devotion now?"Logan rushed to explain. "Babe, I'm not trying to f
