She Missed Her Last Chance のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 1 - チャプター 9

Donovan and Rebecca handed me the phone.Loree's voice came through."Rowan, something serious happened. Harvey's not doing well. I want to grant one of his wishes first."I went quiet. Didn't even know what to say.She'd run from our wedding so many times—and never once apologized. Now she was choosing to marry him.No explanation. Just one line—Harvey's in trouble.That was enough for her to throw everything away and marry him instead.And me?I'd wasted time, money, everything—proposing over and over before she finally said yes.I used to think if I tried harder—loved her more—things would get better.Today, I got it.To Loree, my love was disposable.If that's how it was, there was nothing left to hold onto.I grabbed the bank card off the table. Fifty grand. Meant for her.Their smug looks froze.Donovan slammed his hand over mine."Rowan, don't rush this. Don't be impulsive. I'll call Loree back right now. Calm down, okay? She's just being immature. You're not ser

One day left before my flight.I dragged the trash bags to the door, ready to crash, when the lock clicked.I was only staying one more night. Guess even that was too much to ask.I stepped out of the bedroom.Loree walked in. Harvey right behind her.Unbelievable. My fiancée brought her side piece straight into my place.She barely got inside before yelling, "Rowan! Where'd you put the stuff from my jewelry wall?"I didn't move toward her like before. Just stood there. The noise got on my nerves.There used to be a whole wall of necklaces by the entryway. She saw some influencer do it and had to copy it."What's going on?" she kept shouting.I yawned and pointed at the trash by the door. "Not just that wall. Your clothes, all that clutter too. Figured you wouldn't have time to pack, so I handled it. You're welcome."I was leaving anyway. No way I'd leave anything behind for them.Loree would never ignore expensive stuff. She bolted outside and started digging through the b

A blood-stained hand reached out. His voice was soft."It's okay. Don't be scared. I won't hurt you."That day, Loree wore gray contacts. She kept her head down, forcing the words out."I didn't see anything. I'm blind. I can't see. Please let me go!"He let out a quiet chuckle, said nothing, and helped her out of the alley.She followed him, stiff.Later, Loree found out Rowan had spotted those thugs near her place and tailed them on purpose. The blood? Lab mice. He'd smeared it on himself just to scare them.She couldn't believe it. Not until he left did she finally breathe.But now she couldn't stop thinking about him.So she started digging into his life. That's how she really got to know Rowan.A girl's curiosity about a guy—that's where it starts.Their hearts slowly pulled closer.The memory snapped, cut off by Harvey's sneer."Loree, if you ask me, Rowan had it coming. Guy was cheap. Selfish trash. Back at the wedding, he took the money and walked without looking b

I pulled her inside. Her yelling was already getting the neighbors' attention.She probably didn't expect to step back into what used to be our place.But nothing was the same.I'd cleared it out. New furniture. Renovated. Every trace of her—gone."You're really heartless. You didn't leave me a single memory."Seeing I wasn't kicking her out, she pushed it."Why would I?" I said. "You've been kneeling long enough. Go sit, then leave. Stop bothering the neighbors."That was it. The last bit of pity I had left.But Loree didn't see it that way. She thought I'd softened."We still have a chance, right? You still love me. We were so close. We were about to get married. Ten years—you can't just forget that. Let's start over."I looked at her, words stuck. She was the one who changed first.When I didn't answer, she stepped closer and grabbed my hand.I shook her off, hard. My voice didn't waver."People change. I'm not the same man—and neither are you. You changed first, rememb
