All Chapters of Not Where I'm Meant to Be: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

"The next item that's up for auction is former heiress of Murphy Group, Sarah Murphy's first night."My eyes flew open as the burning sensation in my gut suddenly disappeared.I was at the auction where my childhood crush, Sarah Murphy's first night, was being auctioned. As I looked around the familiar surroundings, I realized that I had been reborn.Sarah, who was standing on stage, shot pleading looks at me. However, I ignored her this time, keeping my head down and fiddling with my phone.In my past life, I had immediately paid an exorbitant amount of money to save Sarah the moment she stepped on stage.Sarah and I had been engaged ever since we were children.The Murphys were incredibly grateful that I had saved her and arranged for us to get married immediately.I happily agreed since I had been nursing a crush on Sarah since we were kids.However, Sarah always looked at me coldly after we got married.I thought that her change in behavior was due to how her family circum

Sarah had never looked at me kindly in my past life, let alone with such an adoring expression.She would only smile at me when she needed my help, but her smile looked more like a grimace than anything else. She also would only ask for my help when Kevin was in trouble, willingly abandoning her pride to curry favor with me for his sake.I thought that if I continued to treat her well, she would eventually look my way one day. I forgot that certain types of ice would never melt no matter how hard you tried to warm it up.My silence angered Kevin even more. He stepped forward and grabbed a fistful of my collar, shouting, "Are you deaf? I'm talking to you! Do you even have a shred of humanity left within you? How could you stand by and do nothing when your own fiancee was being tormented?"Our friends began to whisper among themselves upon hearing Kevin's words."Caleb does follow Sarah around like a loyal dog all the time. So, why wasn't he willing to fork out a million dollars whe

Apparently, Kevin had disappeared without a trace by the time the police rushed to the private room that night.I had also vanished when my friends finally snapped back to their senses.They felt guilty for criticizing me. Some even called me to apologize.However, none of that mattered to me anymore.I had no need for friends who would blindly criticize me when they didn't know the whole truth.Adam and Patricia had appeared in the private room that day because they started investigating Kevin after they found out that he and Sarah were together. They eventually discovered that Kevin was using drugs and immediately rushed over the moment they got their hands on photographic evidence.They heard Sarah saying that she was going to call off the engagement just as they arrived, which sent them into a panic.They knew that I had always had feelings for Sarah. When I told them that I wanted to call off the engagement, they had tried to convince her to change my mind. However, not onl

"Sorry, but I already have a girlfriend," I said. "And we're madly in love with each other.""Are you talking about the woman who was with you that day?" Sarah asked. "I know that you're just using her to get a rise out of me, Caleb. "You were willing to spend a million dollars to save me back then. And now, you saved my life again. I know that you still have me in your heart. You loved me for so many years. There's no way that you could just give up on me."Sarah looked rather confident. It was obvious that she still thought of me as her loyal dog—that I would bend to her will with a simple wave of her hand.I glanced at her before saying, "It's up to you whether you want to believe me."I no longer cared about what she thought.Sarah began to panic then. Her gaze darkened before a single tear spilled from the corner of her eye."I've learned my lesson, Caleb. I made many mistakes in the past. I was too gullible and easily believed in other people's words. Can you please forgi
