บททั้งหมดของ Final Breakup: No. 100: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

Thor Bentley and I grew up together—we were true childhood sweethearts.We were neighbors from the day we were born. We attended the same schools from kindergarten to high school, and we were always in the same class.At sixteen, we confessed our feelings for each other.At eighteen, during our coming-of-age ceremony, our families made it official with an engagement.We'd promised to enter the same university, graduate together, and marry right after senior year.Everyone envied us. They said we were a perfect match—meant for each other in this life and the next. And I believed that too. I thought I would grow old by his side, until the final semester of our senior year in high school, when a new transfer student named Lina Prescott joined our class.Lina was strikingly beautiful and bold, her arrival turning heads the moment she stepped through the door. Even the teachers adored her.When the seating was arranged, our homeroom teacher paired her with Thor, saying her grades wer

My throat tightened; the words lodged there, refusing to come out. I turned and walked away.When I reached the stairs, a small teddy was tossed from nearby, landing at my feet. The sight of it blurred my vision. Whenever my parents were away and the house felt too big and lonely, I would sleep at Thor's place. He had a room for me there, and I could only fall asleep clutching that bear.As I stood frozen, Thor continued to throw more stuff my way. The pajamas, photos, and toothbrushes I'd left at his house lay scattered at my feet. Thor's voice was cold and clipped. "Since we're breaking up, take your things and go."In the past, I would have sobbed and raged, begged him not to be cruel, then curled up and let the matter slide. But not now. I crouched down and collected my stuff with a steady hand.There were too many to carry. When I looked up and saw the fireplace, I walked over and began tossing things into the hearth. Flames hungrily licked the paper and leather; a loud si

One day, my school organized a field trip.I went with my deskmate, while Thor and Lina were practically glued together—like conjoined twins. They were inseparable, their closeness so blatant that everyone's gazes turned ambiguous. Some looked at them with teasing smiles, others at me with something between curiosity and pity.During lunch, Thor even cut her steak into small pieces for her, his every move gentle and attentive.My deskmate couldn't help herself and leaned closer, whispering, "What's going on with them?"I cast a calm glance in their direction and replied, "We broke up, that's all."My voice wasn't loud, but it carried far enough. The table fell silent, and several heads turned toward us in surprise."What? You two were so close—why would you break up?""Yeah, didn't you plan to get married after university?""Thor, didn't you love Aisha?"Thor said nothing. His silence was louder than any denial.My chest ached, but I raised my voice just enough. "We just were

Thor's special treatment of Lina had me worried; that was for sure. I had tried to win him back by threatening to break up, but all I earned was his disgust. Once I was no longer his only one, everything I did became wrong. It was clear, whatever he and I shared belonged to the past.As exams approached, I buried myself in study. Meanwhile, Thor and Lina grew closer by the day; rumor had it they were already a couple. I became the punchline in everyone's gossip. After the tests, I stayed home—nowhere to go—waiting for my acceptance letter.Soon, the envelope arrived. I took it from the courier and was about to open it when a shadow fell over my head and someone snatched the letter from my hands. I recognized the thief and felt my mood sour."Give that back—it's mine," I said.Thor ignored me and ripped open the envelope. My heart lurched; I lunged instinctively and grabbed it back."Don't look." I barked.He looked at me coldly. "I was curious how you did—wanted to see if m

My brows arched with fury as I snapped, "Shut your filthy mouth!"But Lina refused to stop. Her voice cut through the crackle of fire, every word soaked in venom."Yelling won't change anything. Thor is mine now. From now on, the one standing beside him will be me. In his heart, I'll always matter a thousand times more than you ever did."I scowled, glaring at her with open disdain. "Pathetic lovesick fool."My indifference only fueled her rage. Her face twisted with fury as she lunged forward and shoved me hard.I stumbled backward, crashing into the bookshelf behind me. Books rained down as I fell, the heavy spines striking my head. For a brief, disoriented moment, the world went dark.When I came to, the acrid smell of smoke filled my lungs. Through the haze, I saw Thor rushing in with a fire extinguisher, dousing the flames in front of him. Relief flickered for an instant—until I realized what he did next.He ran straight to Lina, scooped her into his arms, and carried her o
