All Chapters of Love, Over and Out: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

I was an impoverished woman who came from the slums. On the other hand, William Blackburn was the son of the richest man in Wylland.The two of us, with vastly different identities, would end up getting involved with each other. We secretly tried out various difficult positions in all sorts of secluded spots while engaging in physical intimacy.William would torment me during every session. Exhausted, I was about to fall asleep when I heard the chime of a notification popping up on William's phone. I glanced at the screen, only to see a text on the screen."William, my stomach hurts a lot. I'm in so much pain…"The text came from a woman named "Ellie".All traces of sleep vanished instantly, and my eyes regained their clarity. Almost immediately, I felt a sense of discomfort coming from my heart.William exited the bathroom after his shower. He then picked up his phone and looked at the screen."You should rest. I'm leaving now."When I saw him turning his back on me, I blurt

I nodded before passing the letter of disownment to Dad. He didn't seem to expect that I'd be ready to sever our relationship once and for all, judging from how disappointed he looked when he gazed at me."You really are cruel."I raised an eyebrow in return before glancing at Valerie, who looked rather smug."Oh, I'm not as cruel as you, that's for sure. After all, a normal man wouldn't have brought his mistress home the day after his wife died," I retorted.Dad was rendered speechless. After he took the letter, he signed it without hesitation. Even though I was already mentally prepared for this moment, I still felt my heart throbbing in pain. After all, my own father had abandoned me.I turned on my heel and ascended the stairs. Every step exuded unwavering resolve and defiance.Only when I returned to my room did I sink to the floor as though I had lost my soul. Sorrow and agony engulfed me in an instant.The next day, I was still asleep when I was awakened by the noises o

The next day, the maids dragged me out of bed and began giving me a makeover before I could even wake up properly. As I looked around hazily, William walked into the room.He looked dashing in his custom-fitted black tux. His hair was swept back, and his eyes held a magnetic charm that could put me under his spell.Perhaps his looks were the reason I had fallen in love with him in the first place.William patted me on the head out of habit."I want you to attend a banquet with me."I stared at him, completely flabbergasted. Our relationship was secretive in nature. Not to mention, William had told me that his social status was very special, which meant he couldn't make our relationship public.What was he up to?But when we arrived at the banquet hall, I found out that it was actually Elaine's birthday banquet. William was worried that others might find out about our relationship, so he chose to maintain his distance from me. We even entered the banquet hall separately.I turne

Elaine nodded in response. Then, she melted into William's arms. He continued holding her while comforting her in soft tones.As I watched the couple being lovey-dovey with each other, I felt my heart going numb from the intense pain. I closed my eyes while suppressing my sorrow and rage.When Elaine left the ward, I finally opened my eyes. William was elated to see me awake. He also made sure to show me the same amount of concern.By then, I had already calmed down. I spent time with him as though nothing had happened. In fact, both of us chose to ignore the incident that had happened at Elaine's birthday banquet.During the time I was hospitalized, William visited me every day. At first, I thought he really was here to visit me. That was, until I noticed that Elaine happened to be staying in the ward next to mine. That was when cold realization dawned on me.William was never here for me. He was here for Elaine.According to a nurse, Elaine got hospitalized because of pneumonia

Today was the day I had promised Charles that I'd get married.I had already changed into my wedding gown. When I was about to get into the wedding car, Elaine came to the venue. She stood before me before tossing the wedding bouquet to me coldly. "Congratulations on getting married today."I watched as the bouquet landed on the ground. My response came out detached."You got your wish."Elaine smiled in satisfaction. Pride and arrogance gleamed in her eyes."Of course. Well, as long as you don't come back and stir up trouble for me, that is."A pregnant pause later, Elaine leaned into my ear and began mocking me. "Oh, Daphne… Don't tell me you seriously think William really likes you."My expression was calm as always. I merely shot her a sideways glance.Elaine harrumphed in return. "To tell you the truth, I got to know William way before you even met him. That's why he fell in love with me first. Whatever relationship he has with you only stemmed from his need for pleasure
