All Chapters of Let the Lovers Have Each Other: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

"Ruth, are you sure you don't need me to stay? You're not feeling well, after all," Zayne Colman said with concern as he held my hands, seemingly reluctant to leave. A deep frown was etched across his forehead.Shaking my head, I rasped, "I'll be fine. Besides, Mom and the others will take good care of me. You can go without worry. "I know how important this project is. You and Reagan spent so many sleepless nights working on it. You're right at the finish line. How can I hold you back just because I'm sick?"My mother-in-law, Pamela Kinsley, patted Zayne on his shoulder. "Ruth is right. You and Reagan have both poured so much into this project. "You've even lost weight stressing over it. You're about to secure it. Hurry up and get ready to set off."My mom agreed, too. "Yes, Zayne. Reagan has only been at your company for a year, and she's already contributing significantly to such a major project, thanks to your guidance. "There are plenty of us here to take care of Ruth. Yo

By the next morning, my fever had subsided. Ignoring the nurse's protests, I signed the discharge papers and went back to the home I once shared with Zayne.I straightened my back and decided that it was time to clean out everything that belonged to him. It was time to start my new life. When I reached the study, my hand brushed against a small, locked iron box tucked away at the back of a drawer. In my previous life, I had once asked Zayne about it out of curiosity. He had smiled gently and said it contained some of his little secrets.I had never thought of opening it. But now… I fetched some tools and pried the small lock open.The moment the lid lifted, my breath caught in my throat. Inside was a thick stack of photos and a diary. Every photo was of Zayne and Reagan.There were pictures of them at the seaside, smiling under the sun, on a trip I never even knew they had gone on. There were photos of them at an amusement park, wearing matching headbands like a couple.And ther

To make sure that I could focus solely on my recovery, Zayne confiscated my phone, wallet, and even my laptop.Mom and Pamela took turns watching over me and never left my side. This was all to ensure that I would obediently board the plane for our so-called vacation five days later."Ruth, you have to eat well and get better. Then, we can go to Mordiva," Zayne said softly while feeding me a spoonful of soup. His voice was gentle, but each word was dipped in poison. I smiled weakly and ate the whole bowl. Then, I went straight to the bathroom to vomit it all up.That night, Zayne claimed he had urgent business to handle. He stayed in the study late into the night.I waited until I heard Pamela's steady breathing in the next room before silently slipping into the rarely used guest room.In the nightstand drawer was an old spare phone. It was a basic model I had once bought for my parents in case their smartphones broke down. They had barely used it and had probably even forgotten

Brad cut Zayne off mid-sentence and said impatiently, "I promised you I'd let you see your lover, didn't I? Well, here she is, right in your arms. "You do know I'm not running a charity here. You're a funny one, young man. I've decided to sell all three of you together. You can all reunite in hell!"Reagan's smile froze. Thinking of the torture she would endure at their hands should she stay, she shoved Zayne forward and pointed at him frantically.She screamed, "Sell him first! Let me go, Mr. Johnson. I can even trick my parents into coming here. I'll do anything! "Remember how well I served you last night? I can serve you again and do more new tricks. Please don't sell me off. I don't want to die!"Zayne's face contorted in shock and rage. In the next moment, he lunged at her and cursed, "Reagan! You bitch!" Brad wasn't interested in watching them fight. He waved his hand and ordered, "Lock them all up in the same room. Let them enjoy a nice little family reunion."The heav
