All Chapters of She Ditches Me for Her Ex-Fiancé: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Marcus' POVMy adoptive father, Benedict Dempsey, stood on the stage, his face beaming with delight."Today isn't only Elena's 22nd birthday. It's also the day she'll choose the man she wants to marry. The Dempseys and the Haysworths have been close for generations, and we've watched Marcus and Julius grow up."He turned to his daughter, Elena Dempsey. "Go on, Elena. Tell us who you choose."Beside him, Elena's mother, Yolanda Burke, smiled warmly. "I'm sure she'll choose Marcus. He's always been mature and dependable. He's helped Elena through more situations than I can count."Whether it came to academics or ability, I was far ahead of Julius.In fact, the Dempseys had already assumed Elena would choose me.The same scene had played out on this very day in my previous life. Without the slightest hesitation, Elena chose my younger brother, Julius Haysworth.I buried my feelings for her and decided to enroll at the university farthest from Jarrow. Once I left, I never intended

Marcus' POVSure enough, a bright red breaking news alert popped up on my screen."Breaking News. Major Accident on Jarrow Overpass. Black Maybach Crushed by Dump Truck. Driver Believed to Be Dempsey Group Heiress."Several blurry pictures from the scene appeared beneath the headline.The front of the Maybach had been crushed beyond recognition, while the driver's side had collapsed. A pool of blood stained the sidewalk, spreading across the road beneath the pouring rain.The article continued to update in real time."Ms. Elena Dempsey's legs remain pinned inside the wreckage. She has suffered devastating fractures and may be permanently disabled."My finger paused over the pictures.In my previous life, I'd been so worried about Elena that I secretly followed her car.When the accident happened, I risked being caught in an explosion and smashed the window with my bare hands. I nearly lost my own life dragging her out of the wreckage.Because I reached her in time, the nerves

Third-Person POVBenedict had sent his men to intercept Julius at the airport and bring him back by force.He froze every credit card in Julius' name and made the consequences clear. Unless Julius returned to the hospital and took care of Elena, he wouldn't receive a cent of his share of the Haysworth estate.With that money on the line, Julius reluctantly returned to Elena's room, his face dark with resentment.But Julius had spent his entire life avoiding responsibility. How could someone like him put up with a woman who could no longer walk?Because of the extensive nerve damage, Elena had lost control of her bladder and bowels.Julius stood a few feet away with one hand covering his nose, his face twisted in disgust. He refused to lay a finger on her.Instead, he hired the cheapest caregiver he could find, someone clumsy and heavy-handed."Please be gentle… My legs hurt…"The caregiver handled Elena roughly while turning her over, and the pain left her drenched in a cold s

Third-Person POVGavin frowned at Elena as though he couldn't understand how she had reached such an absurd conclusion."Julius? Why would you think he saved you? He doesn't have a single burn scar on his body. How could he possibly have carried you out of that fire?"Marcus, on the other hand, has a terrible burn scar covering nearly half of his left shoulder! You two grew up in the same household. Are you telling me you never once saw it?"Elena's mind went completely blank.Gavin's words exposed every lie she had told herself, forcing her to confront the truth she had spent two lifetimes refusing to see.The burn scar on Marcus' left shoulder…In her previous life, they had been married for ten years.Marcus never wore sleeveless shirts. Even in the middle of summer, he kept his shoulders covered beneath long-sleeved dress shirts.Once, Elena accidentally pulled open his collar and saw the disfiguring scar beneath it. What had she said to him then?"Marcus, that scar is hi

Marcus' POVElena's eyes were red with desperation, and rain streamed down her hollow cheeks."Marcus, I was wrong about you, but I know the truth now! You were the one who saved me from the fire, and Julius was the one who arranged the accident in my previous life. "I treated the man who tried to kill me like my savior. I must've been blind to treat you the way I did!"As she sobbed, she reached beyond the edge of the umbrella and clutched the hem of my suit jacket."Please, give me a chance to make this up to you. Come back to Jarrow with me. Everything the Dempseys own will be yours. I'll give you my life, too, as long as you'll forgive me…"She had cried herself hoarse, and her eyes were filled with desperation and regret.Astrid frowned, her gaze turning cold.She stepped in front of me, about to order the bodyguards to remove Elena, when I gently touched her arm.Then, I looked at Elena, who was confined to a wheelchair and reduced to begging in the pouring rain."Elen
