Falling In Love As She's Walking Away นิยาย & เรื่องราว

She preferred fresh air over air conditioning. As she looked out, she saw a couple kissing by the roadside. Nadia felt a pang of envy. When would she have a passionate romance like that? She thought she wasn't unattractive, so why was love so elusive for her? Just then, the couple separated under the streetlight. Nadia's heart sank when she recognized the man. It was Logan. And the woman he was kissing was his childhood sweetheart. Noticing her change in mood, Ian looked over and saw Logan as well.

“You only love me now that I don’t need it.” They stood in silence. A few feet apart. But with years of unfinished sentences between them. And then she turned and walked away, heels echoing on the tile like the closing of a door.

I looked at him for a long time and said quietly, “Vincent, I don’t hate you anymore.” His face turned even paler. Sometimes not being hated was worse than being cursed. It meant there was nothing left. Clara stood between us, her fingers trembling against the doorframe. She seemed to want to say something, but before she could speak, her body suddenly swayed. I reached for her before I even thought. She fell into my arms. Her body was terrifyingly light. When my fingers closed around her wrist, all I felt was bone under cold skin.

“Blаkе, gеt away frоm mе. I don’t want to talk. Juѕt lеаvе me аlоnе.” I реrѕіѕt аnd whеn she рullѕ hеr аrm аwау I rеасh аrоund and ѕuрроrt hеr with a hand аt the lоwеr bасk. Mу рrеѕеnсе mаkеѕ Aрrіl ѕtumblе back uр thе ѕtерѕ ѕhе саmе frоm. Shе gоеѕ іntо thе brownstone townhouse.

“She needs time to figure it out. We were wrong. Staying here only upsets her more. I left a card in the house—ten million euros. Enough for the rest of her life. And I’ll have people check on her from time to time.” My mother broke down sobbing. “It’s my fault. I should have gone to get her myself, not listened to Gianna. I failed her.” They got in. The car pulled away, rumbling down the dirt road until it vanished. I let go of the breath I had been holding. My palms were slick with sweat. My heart pounded. The coldness I had worn like armor fell away. I leaned against the doorframe, my nose stinging, but no tears came.

Her expression changes to embarrassment. Without a word, she opens the door and walks toward the house. I watch her go. I love her. God help me, I fell in love with Ashley. So why the hell would she do this? The ache in my chest splits me in two as I drive away.

But now, with this bright, glaring declaration of love in front of me, I could no longer deceive myself. Bryan wasn't reserved. He just didn't love me. The rain kept falling, relentless, showing no sign of stopping. And I no longer had a reason to wait. No one was coming to pick me up. So, I walked home alone. The downpour soaked me to the bone, the cold seeping into my heart, leaving it numb. It wasn't until midnight that Bryan finally returned. But this time, there was no warm welcome, no eager smile waiting for him. Only silence, thick and heavy, filling the unlit room.

The look on her face made me stop. Very slowly, she shook her head. No. "No Verena, you can't." I whispered. You can't leave me Verena. Her lips moved. You were supposed to be mine. I didn't need to hear her to know what she was saying. My heart broke into a million pieces. "I'm sorry." She mouthed before walking away. I watched as she walked past the gates. Away from me. I watched as the girl I loved walked away from me. I just watched.

God, that blasted archaic car didn't even have a heating system. "Love, come inside, please. You're freezing," I pleaded, my voice filled with concern. I rubbed her hand between my palms, desperately trying to infuse it with warmth. She turned her sad eyes to mine, the pain etched deep within them, and silently stepped out of the car. I rose to my feet, instinctively pulling her into my arms, seeking to comfort her. But she didn't return the gesture. Instead, she pulled away from me and walked through the front door, her steps heavy with disappointment.

For seven years, I've been dating Celeste Monroe, a CEO who never keeps her promises. Every time we make plans, she's either late or doesn't show up at all. The first time, her newly hired male assistant, Grady Keller, lost an important contract. I waited at the restaurant until closing, had my food reheated three times, and never heard a word from her. The second time, Grady called to say he was lost. Celeste was already downstairs when she got the call, but I sat through the entire movie without ever seeing her. After that, whenever Celeste and I had plans alone, Grady would suddenly have some kind of emergency. She would disappear without a word, then laugh it off afterward and promise
