All Chapters of After I Left, My Billionaire Boyfriend Went Completely Mad: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

I didn't leave the room.My fingertip pressed hard against the phone screen until my knuckle turned white.The mockery in the voice chat room drilled clearly into my ears."Amelia has never known her place. Does she really think Damian actually has feelings for her?""Damian's just too nice for his own good, putting up with her this long. Anyone else would've dumped her ages ago.""Serena is the only one who truly deserves to be with Damian."That last one was Natalie, another illegitimate daughter of the Whitmore family. My younger half-sister.Just last month, she'd been working as a waitress at a banquet.Serena, who was attending as a guest, had mocked her in front of everyone, calling her a worthless illegitimate nobody.I was the one who stepped in front of her to shield her.The girl had stood there with red-rimmed eyes, timidly calling out to me.But now her voice was light and carefree, as if she'd long forgotten Serena's humiliation.Several business associates who had only g

Today was Damian and Serena's wedding day.All of Southport was buzzing about the lavish union between two powerful families.The ceremony was extravagant down to every last detail.Serena stood at the center in a custom-made gown.Guests streamed in without end.Everyone said she and Damian were a perfect match.Perhaps still not trusting that I wouldn't try to leave,Damian had threatened me into attending his wedding to Serena that very morning.I stood alone at the edge of the crowd, separated by a sea of people.Watching a grand, blinding ceremony that had nothing to do with me.Halfway through the wedding, the unexpected struck.The large screen, which had been playing highlights of the newlyweds, suddenly cut to something else.It was filled with the Whitmore family's secrets.Slanderous claims that my mother had been a homewrecker who schemed her way into the family.Ugly accusations plastered across the entire screen.The guests erupted. Whispers exploded through the room.Dam

Serena's grandmother stabilized. Damian returned to his private apartment in the city center, exhausted.This was the place where we had lived together for years.The apartment was pitch black. He called my name several times with no answer.He swept his gaze across the empty rooms, gripped by a panic he couldn't explain.He tore through the apartment, checking everything.My slippers were still by the door.My clothes were still in the closet.Even my luggage was neatly in place, not a single piece missing.Damian let out a breath of relief and collapsed onto the bed.Maybe Amelia was still at the hospital, keeping watch.The image of her kneeling on the hospital floor, begging him, was still seared into his mind.He didn't think he'd done anything wrong.For years, he'd covered every cent of her mother's astronomical medical bills.He'd ignored the judgmental stares and insisted on being with an illegitimate daughter.He'd been more than generous with her.That scene at the hospital

Damian's fixation on me became the last straw for Serena.She'd endured it for years. Pretended for years.She could tolerate Damian keeping me on the side.But she absolutely could not tolerate a woman who'd already vanished still consuming all of Damian's attention.Jealousy devoured the last of her reason.She secretly reached out to the informants Damian had searching for me.She issued her own private orders.If anyone found me, they were not to report back to Damian.They were to eliminate me immediately.She wanted me gone forever.What she never anticipated was that Damian, who had doubled back, overheard every word of that conversation.He couldn't believe it.He'd thought Serena was just oversensitive and a bit dramatic.He'd never imagined she would actually try to have me killed.He slipped away without confronting her.Instead, he had people quietly tracking Serena's movements.And what they uncovered led straight to the wedding day, where she'd snuck backstage when no one

In the years since I'd gone overseas, I had cut every tie to Southport. Cleanly and completely.When I first arrived at the research institute, the intense pace and the unfamiliar environment nearly overwhelmed me.But I pushed through.Within months, I'd caught up with the team.I settled into the demanding rhythm of work and life here.On quiet nights, I sometimes couldn't help looking back.If my mother hadn't been so ill,I would have gone abroad to study years ago, pursuing the path I was passionate about.With my abilities, I might have had a far brighter life by now.But life doesn't deal in what-ifs.All the regrets and pain of the past were behind me.I stopped dwelling on right and wrong.I lived my days peacefully, on my own terms.Now I was independent, stable, and free.I had a career I loved, friends who understood me, and a clean, fresh start.I thought I'd never have anything to do with Southport again.Until one late autumn, I looked up from the institute's entrance and
