All Chapters of End of a Decade's Dream: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Because of what I said, Irene Cobb fainted right there in Dominic Moore's arms. But even as she passed out, she continued to wrap her arms tightly around his shoulders, refusing to let go.And, without hesitating for even a second, he scooped her up in his arms and carried her off in a hurry to take her to the hospital. While leaving, he didn't forget to rebuke me in front of everyone, calling me a petty and small-minded woman.Dominic said I couldn't even be gracious for three minutes—that I was deliberately trying to ruin the wedding ceremony.I had been with Dominic for ten years and legally married to him. His parents, Gordon Moore and Molly Porter, finally agreed to let me have a wedding ceremony after I got pregnant with his baby.Until ten minutes ago, I still believed that he would settle down, and I'd finally have a happy family of my own.But now, my own mother was ashamed of me. She threw her bag at me and wailed for me to get Dominic to turn back.Dad was also looking

I swallowed back the words on the tip of my tongue, ended the call, and informed the doctor he could proceed with the procedure."Are you sure about this?" the doctor asked softly. "The baby's perfectly healthy. Maybe you should talk to the father first?""That won't be necessary. He doesn't care."…After leaving the hospital, I went back to the house and packed my things. The house was filled with wedding favors and wedding gifts, reminders of the wedding ceremony that was supposed to have taken place.Clearly, Dominic hadn't come home at all in the last few days. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let these things remain in the house, sullying his eyes.Halfway through packing, Mom called me. "Eve, have you managed to appease Dominic yet? Has he forgiven you?"Her voice was full of anxiety and hopeful anticipation, but not a hint of concern for me.I told her I was divorcing Dominic.After a brief silence, I was hit with a torrent of tearful reprimands. Mom told me not to be willf

"What did you say?" Dominic exclaimed as he grabbed me by the shoulders with a look of utter shock.Smirking, I stared at him with the same scornful expression he gave me earlier and said, "I said I aborted the baby."His eyes went wide. His lips trembled as he said, "N-No. That's impossible. You're lying to me! You're just trying to trick me into getting a divorce! Well, don't even think about it, Evelyn!"I looked him squarely in the eye, refusing to give him the chance to look away. "You're the one who said that Irene matters more than both the baby and me, Dominic. Have you forgotten that already?"Grabbing his hand, I pressed it against my abdomen before continuing, "There's no longer a life growing inside of me."Dominic wrenched his hand back forcefully, his eyes turning red. "No… It's impossible…"Meanwhile, Mom and Dad finally caught on as well.Mom wailed, "You wretched woman! How are you supposed to solidify your position as Mrs. Moore if you don't have the baby anymo

Mr. Wentworth's mouth gaped. I didn't know what was on his mind. Meanwhile, Irene's expression was pretty ugly.Half an hour later, Dominic arrived. After walking into the conference room, he ignored Irene and asked anxiously, "Evelyn, what happened? Did you and Irene get into a fight?"Irene's face paled at his reaction, and she cried out with a pout, "What took you so long, Dom? These people were all bullying me!"She tried to throw herself into his arms for comfort, but he avoided her with a frown and asked, "What are you doing here?"His voice wasn't as gentle as it usually was.Eyes flickering, Irene immediately said tearfully, "It was Mrs. Moore. She heard that Evelyn lost the baby and was afraid that she wouldn't be able to handle the stress of work, so… she asked me to join the company and take some of the burden off her shoulders."Hearing that, I snorted.Back when I just found out I was pregnant, the doctor had said that I was at risk of a miscarriage. I wanted to tak

My eyes grew wet, and before I could stop myself, the tears spilled down my cheeks."Thank you, Mr. Wentworth."Mrs. Wentworth immediately pulled me into her arms and wiped my tears away. "What's wrong, my dear? If someone has hurt you, you can tell me about it. James and I will definitely help you."Leaning against her, I felt like I was wrapped in the warmth of a mother's embrace again.My voice was hoarse as I filled them in on what happened at the wedding ceremony and everything else since then."That's preposterous!" James shouted, slamming his hand against the desk. He was even more infuriated now than he had been when Irene slandered him earlier."How can Dominic do such a thing! That does it. I'm resigning right this instant. I'm leaving with you! There's no way I'm staying at this rotten company!"Mrs. Wentworth glared at him and instructed him to calm down before asking me, "Where are you staying now, Evelyn?"Sniffling, I replied, "I'm staying at a hotel. I'll probab
