All Chapters of I Was Never His Ending: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

Zach led Rainie up the stage. One hand rested lightly at her back, while the other brushed a strand of hair behind her ear. That action alone made everyone bubble with excitement.A reporter quickly asked, "Mr. Lawson, who is this lady to you?"I clenched my fists. Zach hated direct questions. All his answers were very rehearsed and formulaic. When someone mentioned me the last time, all he did was offer them a polite smile."Ms. Jensen is part of the founding team, and I trust her professional ability."I hated how he wanted to keep us hidden, but then he would apologize with a big bouquet of roses. "The company's still making its way out. It's for the greater good."…Two months had gone by since that day. Now he was asked a similar question. He looked at Rainie, and when he spoke, his voice cracked. "She's… my salvation."Rainie cried right away. Camera flashes filled the air, so bright and rapid that my eyes nearly went dry.On the same day five years ago, after Zach's re

I asked, "Are those the roses we ordered?""Yes," he said coolly.I thought this was absurd. Even though the wedding was set aside after Rainie's divorce, the flowers were already ordered beforehand. He promised the samples would be sent to our place, and I would check them myself.Now they were in Rainie's house. "If I hadn't asked," I said, "you were never going to tell me, were you?"Impatience flickered on his face. "They're just roses. Rainie likes them, so I gave them to her.""But I like them too, and those are the samples we picked for the wedding.""You like them just because Rainie does." He fastened his seat belt and looked at my stunned face. "You have to understand that Rainie's the only female lead in this world, Diana. That won't change no matter how much you try to copy her."My ears buzzed. I came to this world six years ago. Not long after that, a certain man began watching me. The loyal and devoted second male lead who was destined to give everything he had

I was hovering in the air and saw the body still in the same spot. That was when I realized I had not left right away. And that was how I saw Zach's panic. All that talk about avoiding rumors and considering the bigger picture was thrown out the window.He shoved the crowd away and shouted at Diana, "Explain! What do you mean, you're leaving?"The employees were confused. "What's he talking about? Diana's right here.""And he was introducing Ms. Quinton. Now, he's going for Diana?"Rainie froze for a moment, and she said softly, "Diana's right here, Zach. Cam down."None of their words reached Zach. He stood before Diana and realized her face was stiff. There was nothing in her eyes, not even his reflection. Unease flickered in his chest. He reached out and grabbed her finger."You're scaring me, Diana."Then, Diana's eyes filled with light, and she shoved him away as if she was shocked. "What are you doing, sir?" She stepped back in displeasure and looked at her phone. "My depa

"Then, let's change the subject. What do you think about this bag? And this dress? I'm thinking of going to Dewmont for my graduation trip, but Hector said the dress is too revealing. Honestly, that guy lives in the last century. Maybe I should break up with him. We're going our separate ways after graduation anyway."My best friend kept talking and talking. When I still did not react, she tore open a bag of chips and shoved one into my mouth.I felt something filling up my mouth, and I looked at her. "What?"Frustrated, my best friend said, "Oh, look alive, will you, Seraphina? It's just your proposal getting shot down, big deal. I got shot down four times, and now I'm on my fifth attempt!"My brain buzzed, and I snapped out of it. Yeah, I was back. Six years in the novel was only six seconds in the real world. I was still a senior student who was tortured by her research proposal. That world had nothing to do with me anymore.For a month or so after that, my attention was fully

My phone was still open to the webnovel. There was only one chapter left in the story."Will you return to the world of the novel and see Zach one last time?"Two choices stood before me. Five years ago, I told the system I would not regret my choice. Now, I would say the same.I pressed 'No.'"Give him a message from me. Tell him I never guilt tripped him. I revived him because I loved him, and that was also why I stayed with him all the way through recovery. But it's in the past now, so I won't see him again."I paused for a moment and added, "Goodbye."The notification window disappeared. "Goodbye."….A few days later, I went into the story's final chapter. Chris' new company was listed, and he married the unnamed girl. The wedding was grand, far grander than the one he had with Rainie.Rainie was gone. Someone saw her at the airport, alone with luggage in tow. No one knew where she was going. As for the shares, she ultimately lost them.She tried to argue with a lawyer a
