All Chapters of No More You: Chapter 121 - Chapter 125

The moment his phone rang, Raven knew he had stayed too long.Not because he wanted to leave.Because a part of him hadn't wanted the moment to end.That realization unsettled him more than the alcohol ever could.He should have pulled away sooner.He knew that.The second he felt Azzmi lean into him, the second his thoughts stopped making sense, he should have created distance.Instead, he stayed.And now his pulse refused to settle.The room felt too quiet.Too small.Too full of everything he was trying not to think about.Azzmi looked exhausted.The night, the emotions, and the alcohol had finally caught up with her.Within moments, she curled onto her side and drifted to sleep.Raven stood there for a second.Just staring.Trying to organize the mess in his head.Trying to convince himself that the tightness in his chest was only because of the alcohol.It wasn't working.With a quiet sigh, he picked up a blanket and carefully covered her.She didn't stir.Didn't open her eyes.S

Three days without Raven should have felt normal.Instead, Azzmi kept noticing his absence.The house was quieter.The mornings were easier.And yet, every now and then, she caught herself expecting to hear his sarcastic comments from across the room.Annoying.Very annoying.Which was exactly why she refused to think about it.With Raven out of town, she could go wherever she wanted without worrying about awkward encounters or confusing conversations.So she stayed busy.Earlier that morning, she had delivered the toys to the children at Little Warriors Hospital.She had arrived sooner than promised.The moment the children saw the toys, their faces lit up.Some hugged the boxes.Others immediately started playing.One little girl had even burst into tears from excitement.The memory still warmed Azzmi's heart.It was easily the best part of her week.Now she was on her way to the women's conference.Liz had been sending messages all afternoon, asking what time she would arrive.At f
