All Chapters of This Love Is Dead: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Before I could say anything, Laura glanced at her phone and urged Sharon again in Aurelian, "Come on, stop dragging your feet. Hurry up. Your precious brother is already calling you in the group chat. Today's important. Don't keep him waiting."Sharon froze for a second. She set the soup bowl down, leaned over, and kissed my lips before speaking with visible hesitation."Honey, have the maid clean up the dishes and go to bed early, okay? My girlfriends invited me for a night out. Can I go?"Seeing her like this, I couldn't help letting out a soft laugh."Sure. Go ahead. But you'd better not do anything that betrays me. If I ever find out, I won't hesitate to leave you."She froze, panic and unease flashing through her eyes.Her phone was ringing nonstop. She eventually picked it up, stood, and reached for her coat.As she walked out, she coaxed me seriously, "Don't worry, honey. In this life, I'm yours. Till death do us part, remember? You'll be the only husband I ever have. Tas

I spent an entire day burning every trace of myself away.Clothes, photos, anything that proved I had ever existed here. I left nothing behind.My flight was tomorrow. After tomorrow, none of them would have anything to do with me.Sharon still hadn't come home, but Curtis's constant taunts made one thing clear: She was busy exploring new positions with him.As for Tasha, she treated me like I didn't exist at all.I fulfilled my duty as a father one last time and cooked a full table of her favorite dishes.When she got home from school, she snorted coldly, ordered takeout for herself, and didn't say a single word to me.I sat there as the food went cold, watching the night deepen outside the window.Sometime past midnight, faint sounds came from the door.By the moonlight, I saw Sharon finally return, along with the man she loved most.Her cheeks were flushed. She was wrapped around Curtis, clinging to him, chasing his mouth, her hands roaming without restraint.Curtis held

For seven years, Sharon kept saying how sorry she was.She said that because of her legs, she couldn't give me a proper wedding.More than once, she promised that the day she stood up again, she would make up for it with a grand ceremony and make me the happiest groom alive.I believed her. I even let myself imagine it, picturing the three of us living happily ever after.In the end, her cruelty shattered every last bit of that future.After saying that, I didn't give Sharon another chance to speak. I deleted her and blocked her.I did the same to Tasha.I didn't linger. I boarded the plane without looking back and headed toward my own future.Watching the clouds drift past the window, the absurdity of this relationship finally hit me.All those claims about loving only me, all that so-called devotion and favoritism, none of it was real.Sharon used to love showing her affection in public.Back then, she would hold me and say, "Honey, I want the whole world to know you're mi

Sharon sped home while calling Oliver over and over, firing off messages nonstop.Then, she realized something terrifying.Every single way to reach him was blocked. She couldn't get through at all.The man who used to be gentle and steady, the man who would only smile and sigh even when she failed to keep a promise, had never ignored her before.Not once.This time, he had cut her off completely.Panic hit Sharon hard, and she ran several red lights in a row.But when she rushed into the house, that familiar figure was gone.Only Tasha was there, chewing on something. At her feet lay a bag of beef jerky and a test paper with a big red 14 circled on it.Seeing Sharon come back, Tasha hurried to hide the bag.She turned to stash the test paper, too, but it was already too late. She thought Sharon would scold her over the grade.Instead, Sharon reached out and picked up the divorce papers lying nearby, her hands trembling.She clenched the document tightly, not daring to turn

All those once sweet memories turned into blades, stabbing Sharon's heart, one cut at a time.Ever since Oliver left, her world had been completely overturned. Nothing was the same anymore.No one cooked dinner and waited for her to come home.The house that used to feel warm now felt empty, like a square concrete cage. It was so suffocating that she wanted to escape.And yet, she couldn't leave it.She was still a mother.When Oliver was around, even Tasha seemed obedient and sensible. Now, she felt like everything was working against her on purpose.Tasha cried all day, either demanding to see Oliver or refusing to go to school.Sharon asked everyone she could, pulling every string she had, trying to find Oliver.But there was nothing.All of it piled together until she felt like she was on the verge of losing her mind.She felt as if she had lost her entire world overnight. No matter how much she regretted it, no matter how many places she ran to, she couldn't bring back
