Goodbye Scumbag, Hello True Love Novels & Stories

He handed me a beautifully wrapped gift box. I opened it and to my surprise, it contained a small slice of cake. Luca smiled and said, “I remember how much you loved cakes from this shop, and I happened to be passing by.” I removed the packaging and finished the cake in one go. All of a sudden, rashes broke out across my skin. I didn’t care. It seems that he had long forgotten that I was allergic to mangoes. I said, “Tomorrow is our fifth anniversary, let’s have dinner together.”

Right before the abortion, I imagined a million ways he might react—maybe regret, maybe breaking down—but I never expected this. I suddenly burst out laughing, and it hurt so much that my stomach cramped up. The stitches I just got started bleeding a bit. Carl freaked out. "What's so funny?" I looked at the man I had spent six years with and felt nothing but disgust. He was unfamiliar to me now. "Carl, do you have any shame? How could you even say something like that? Just because you're a disgusting person, do you think I am too? I'm nothing like you!"

He said coldly, "Where the hell are you putting your dirty hands, Paul? She's Ced's girlfriend! Go sober up in a corner if you're that drunk. Don't act crazy here." But the guy, Paul Dixon, was clearly wasted. He just sneered and said, "What, you can stomach her pure act? Don't we all know what she's really like? She agreed to shoot those racy photos at the drop of a hat. I'm still waiting for Ced to show us the HD version. Now, she can't even handle a hand over her stockings? What a faker!" Cedric happened to push open the door and walk into the room just as Paul was spewing that vitriol. He heard every word, loud and clear.

Enough to die in that woman hands and ignore the real love I desperately wanted. “You’re right. I’m that person who ignore her and didn’t recognize her effort. But now, Mike. I want you to know that this is the start of that change. I know Catheryn loves me and I wanted to give back that love to her, unconditionally. You don’t need to bother when it comes to Eunice. Ignore everything she says and everything she asked of you to do. And you know who you need to follow, right?” I looked at him seriously. Mike nodded. “Yes, I only need to follow yours and the madam’s order.”

The enormous diamond sparkled brightly under the light. “I'm already yours. What more do you want?” He snuggled up to me, whining, “Honey, I’m starving for you right now.” His soft bangs tickled me, making my whole body itch. I couldn’t help but laugh as I planted a quick kiss on his cheek. That kiss seemed to flip a switch inside him. He grinned mischievously and started gently undoing my clothes. My body tensed up immediately. I had healed a lot under his love and care, but some scars still lingered in my heart, creeping into my life unexpectedly.

Love. END

I loved you and I am sorry, Eric

Amy tells me. I stand there in disbelief, listening to the sarcastic words, and feeling incredibly sorry for myself. I may not be the best person on the planet, but I know that I sure as hell don’t deserve any of this. “Well, then, congratulations to you and the father of your child. No, we can never ever be friends again, because I don’t make friends with snakes, and I hope that you both get the life that you deserve because you’re well-suited to each other.” I tell her at last, barely able to keep my voice from trembling.

“...and I will always love you for as long as a scar stays.” THE END
