All Chapters of No More You: Chapter 131 - Chapter 140

As soon as he breaks the news to Zerra, she pulls her hand away from him, her face twisting in anger.“Did I hear that right?” she asks, her voice rising. “You can’t be serious with what you just said?”“Calm down and listen to me,” Raven tries, hoping to ease the tension.“Don’t tell me to calm down! You’re seriously going to do that with her? And what about us?” she snaps.“You’re getting the wrong idea,” he says quickly. “I’m only doing this for the sake of the company. That moment will mean nothing at all.”Even as he says this, a small part of him isn’t fully convinced. The words sound hollow, but it’s what he has to do.“How could you do this to me?” Zerra shakes her head, hurt evident on her face. “Do you mean to tell me I’ve been patient for nothing?”She continues ranting about how long she’s been waiting for him, and Raven can only rub his temples, trying to calm the situation. But nothing works. She keeps raising her voice until she finally tires herself out.“Are you done?

As soon as Raven reached Zerra’s bedroom door, he didn’t even have the energy to knock. He just pushed it open and stepped inside.Zerra was sitting on the bed, and when she saw him, she rushed over and wrapped her arms tightly around him. It seemed like she was doing much better, but right now, Raven couldn’t care less about that.“Babe, you’re back,” she said. “I’ve been trying to reach you.”Her arms were wrapped around his waist as if everything was fine between them, but inside, Raven’s blood was boiling.“You won’t believe what happened while you were gone. Your mother was here, and she was so mean to me. She told me to leave this house, but what she says doesn’t matter as long as you’re in charge. You’re the only one who can decide.”“Then go,” Raven said coldly, clenching his fists to keep his anger in check.“What?” she asked, her head snapping up in surprise.Raven couldn’t even look at her right now, so he kept his gaze fixed on the wall as he pulled away, gently removing h

After constantly thinking about Raven’s breakup, Azzmi finally managed to fall asleep around 4 a.m. Now, she was paying the price for it, feeling like she hadn’t rested enough. The exhaustion was clear in her eyes, but she wasn’t going to let it show. She’d use makeup to cover it up; she couldn’t afford to look like a mess.She was supposed to meet Amy at 12 p.m. to try on the diamond necklaces before their launch. Even though Amy would likely go ahead with the launch regardless of Azzmi’s opinion, Azzmi actually wanted to participate. She was honored that Amy had asked her. Given Amy’s fashion sense and her influence in the beauty industry, Azzmi was sure the pieces would be stunning.To be ready in time, Azzmi decided to take a shower. But just before she could step in, she heard from Raven. When she saw his name on her phone, she felt a wave of relief. She might have made it too obvious how happy she was to hear from him, and even asking where he was made her feel a little embarras

Raven already had a lot on his mind. There was the meeting this afternoon, Zerra’s desperation to see him, and the fact that Raicko was now dealing with the fallout of it all. That should have been enough to keep him busy, but then there was Azzmi, constantly pulling his attention back to her.After they stepped into his sister’s store, Azzmi seemed completely focused on whatever jewelry she was looking at, but Raven couldn’t help but notice her. As she leaned forward, he couldn’t ignore the outline of her curves. He knew he shouldn’t be looking, but it was impossible not to.Had she worn a different dress, would it have been any different?While leading her to the elevator, he wrapped his arm around her waist. It felt like it had been so long since he held her like this. He’d been trying to keep some distance, but now, here they were.As soon as they entered the office, Raven could tell Amy was watching closely. If she planned to tell their parents, Raven was ready to give her someth

After Azzmi’s question, Raven immediately felt stupid for asking. He looked away, clearing his throat. “If you don’t want to tell me, just go.”She sighed, then came back to him and sat on the couch across from him. She placed her handbag on the other seat, leaned back, and crossed her legs. For a few seconds, she touched the sides of her neck with her eyes closed. Raven didn’t know why she was doing it, but it reminded him of yesterday and everything that had happened when they stood in front of the mirror, especially when her body brushed against his.It was only when Azzmi began speaking that he snapped out of his thoughts.“I’m going to meet Jezton. He was my boyfriend in high school. I only recently reconnected with him.”“Are you two a thing again?” Raven held his breath without knowing why.“Why would you ask me that?” Azzmi raised her eyebrows.Raven cleared his throat. “Just answer the question.”She sighed. “No, we’re not.”She then told him all about Jezton and how she plan
