All Chapters of Done With My Ex, Moving To The Next : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Chapter 42: “D'Ace Is Dead" STELLA It's been a day since graduation. I woke up early as usual, but the only difference between today and every other day was that I was a fashion academy graduate. With a degree from one of the most prestigious fashion academies. I was still processing every next move, and the last two months, I'd spent them on thorough thinking and finalizing the next steps to take. My plans included one thing I never thought would actually happen—moving out. I'd left Rhys at the ceremony last night, but as I'd predicted, he didn't come after me. I was done with the mixed signals. Unclear feelings. Whatever it was that had happened between us. Maybe a fresh start was all I needed to feel like the woman I'd actually become again. It was hard… but I knew I could do it. I stepped outside the guesthouse, a large duffel bag hung over my shoulder—it had his three dresses inside. The purple one I'd worn last night. The Red. And the white one. My phone rang aga

Chapter 44: Vulnerability In Lust. RHYS I wasn't expecting her at my office, with the dresses in her hand. I spent the whole of last night thinking about my mistakes and how I could correct them without making new mistakes. Last night, she really looked like she hated me but this? It just confirmed something: She didn't. I was just the jerk. “Don't make me hate you, Rhys" She cussed at me, her breath as sharp as the tip of a needle. “Are you sure?" A half-cheeked smile appeared on my lips. I wasn't sure I wanted a wide smile on my lips. “I know you want me just as much as I want … you, Blaze" I wasn't teasing her. Our eyes locked as my hand found her waist with a delicate hold, the other running over her blushed lips. "Just you..." A murmur escaped my lips. S

Chapter 46STELLAI shut the door behind me as I walked into Mrs Beaumont's office.My period had ended yesterday and as animalistic as I might have sounded when I sent him out of the guesthouse, I felt no remorse. I was starting again this time. Really DONE with everything I had with him. “Hello, Miss Stella. It's nice to see you" Her smile boldened the smile lines on her face. She'd always chosen to address me formally, since the year I turned 20. Even though Mrs Beaumont was a distant relative of my Mother, she'd never been at good terms with my Mother and her husband—my dad. "Thank you so much. I left my house as soon as I got your text, ma'am” I smiled, settling down in the chair she offered. “Your documents have been reviewed but a few confirmation needs to be done before we proceed" She flipped a few pages of the documents. “Um ... .most importantly, the name" She smiled, and I could tell she hoped it wouldn't offend me. “Valerializ” She pronounced the word and it smooth

Chapter 48RHYS This was the only place it felt right to bleed my heart out, I didn't hold back. I let my pain seep through the nib of the pen. My throat ached to release horrible screams, fueled with anger and pain. It hurt. It really did. “But what would actually happen, if one day, i snapped and became a beast?What would happen when I finally returned back to loving the beast I used to be?Then I'd be unstoppable. And she'd hate me. But I'd never stop. Because I'd want her to want me.What if everything ended?Was there a way to erase my past? Tell me. I'd do it. Was there a way to remove the carvings of pain on my heart? I'd burn it out. I'd do anything… anything to be the proud man I looked like. But inside of me, was every memory of the dark world I'd once drowned in. A dark life i was fighting not to live again. If I ever became D’Ace again, I would never… ever return to being Rhys Adrian. I'd never be the “Rhys" she called with a smile on her face. I'd never become Rh

CHAPTER 49STELLAI wiped the dust off her picture. I didn't cry—I only stared at her smile. I stared at the little mole on the side of her cheek—the same she'd always hated before she'd died. It was the same mole she'd complained she was going to book a doctor's appointment to take it off. I smiled instead. No. I wouldn't cry. I promised her I wouldn't. Her smile still remained beautiful, even in death. I desperately wished that she'd be in paradise because that was the only place she deserved to be. For a second, I imagined how beautiful she'd be, smiling again. I rubbed the dust off the frame. I wasn't going to cry or spend the whole day. “Valerie, if you're probably watching me," I almost broke my promise but I held back. I smiled instead. “I love you so much, bestie. And I promise, I'll get justice. For us." I nodded as though she was before me. I let down the roses—fresh, and scented. I'd never forget to bring her roses—not even in a century to come. My heart wasn'
