All Chapters of I Quit Your Love Story: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

After my shower, I was half asleep when I sensed someone trying to open the guest bedroom door. Daphne stood outside for a long time after finding it locked.Back when we were dating, we'd made a promise that we'd never sleep in separate rooms no matter how badly we fought.So, I'd insisted on sharing a bedroom with her even after she cheated on me time and time again.However, I'd been the one to take the initiative by moving into the guest room this time around.She called out to me several times, but I was too exhausted to talk. So, I just lay there and didn't bother responding.…The next morning, the first thing I did after waking up was text Jack Carver, my divorce attorney.Daphne and I had been married for nearly ten years, and we had a lot of assets to divide. I really had to plan ahead if I didn't want to end up with the short end of the stick.Jack was taken aback when I brought up divorce again. Then, he sounded exasperated as he snapped, "You're trying to get divor

Daphne had no idea she'd already been fired from Aerosea Group because of one careless signature.Regardless, she saw red when she came home that evening and found me lounging on the couch watching a movie.She stormed over, grabbed me by my arm, and demanded, "How can you sit there and watch a movie like nothing happened? Do you realize you nearly left Cyrus disfigured? How are you going to make it up to him?"She was so furious that her face contorted into an ugly scowl. I, on the other hand, remained utterly calm. "Daphne, have you forgotten that he once beat me up, too? I nearly ended up disfigured as well. And how did that turn out, huh?"Daphne froze at my words, remembering what had happened when we lost our second child.After her miscarriage, she made it seem that she'd punished Cyrus by firing him and sending him elsewhere. In truth, she was also protecting him, as she knew I'd go after him again if I got the chance.So, she'd decided to act first rather than wait for

I was aware that Daphne wasn't going to give up without a fight. I knew she'd find another way to come after me, but I hadn't expected Cyrus to be the one to make the first move.I had barely gotten home from work one evening when I found Cyrus blocking my doorway. The swelling in his face still hadn't gone down. Frankly, he looked like a fright.He held his chin high as he looked down at me, practically swaggering. He seemed determined to make sure everyone knew he was about to climb up the social ladder through his unborn child.He reached out to stop me from opening the door as soon as he saw me.My interactions with him had always been limited to catching him with Daphne and beating him up. Still, I wanted to see what he was up to this time. So, I stopped and waited to see what he'd do.When he saw me being so cooperative, he flashed me a winning smile before cutting straight to the point. "How can you be so cruel? Will you not be satisfied until Daphne ends up homeless? You t

After what had happened at the office, I could tell Cyrus was faking it with just a passing glance. Besides, why would a cleaning lady touch a grown man over six feet tall, much less hurt him?I was about to go over and tell him to quit crying wolf when Jack stopped me in my tracks. "Wait right here. I'll call the police. Remember to keep your distance the next time something like this happens again."I stopped in my tracks. It was best to listen to the lawyer at times like this.…Before long, the police and hospital personnel arrived, causing the entrance to be packed with people.Cyrus was lying on the floor, wailing the whole time. In fact, his wails grew louder when he heard the police had arrived. Anyone who didn't know any better would have assumed someone was slaughtering a pig inside.Oddly enough, the other person with a stake in this little drama, his lover, showed no sign of playing along. Instead, Daphne just stood to the side and watched, saying nothing. She wasn'
