Romans & histoires He Chose Her Over Me

My daughter and my husband’s godson were diagnosed with acute leukemia at the same time. The doctors said a banked cord-blood unit could save a life. His foster sister, Rebecca Sloan, knelt in front of me with her son in her arms and begged until her voice gave out. “Claire, please, let Leo have the cord blood. His father died right after he was born and I never banked any of my own. Have some pity on the two of us. “Leo is the only child I have. I’m begging you. Save him.” I refused outright. I was not going to gamble with my daughter’s life. Then, on the morning of my daughter’s treatment, my husband, Ethan Hale hit me with his car and left me critically injured. The wheels went ove

She explained to me the moment she saw him, she fell in love with him. After their little fling, she wanted to keep him for herself. But as time went by, she realized that he was also seeing other girls, including me. She glared at me and said, "But you're the one he chases! I don't understand how he could choose you over me. I tried so hard to get him, and you don't even do anything, yet he has you wrapped around his fingers." I could sense her frustration and anger, and I didn't know how to respond.

I trailed off, trying to suppress my tears. “Why are you crying? Truth hurts, isn’t it?” She leaned on to whisper those words to me. “In the end, he chose a better woman. He chose me over you.” “He just chose you for the sake of their company, and not because he loves you,” I fired back, trying to look brave. Her brows furrowed because of my response.

It was a clear message that she picked me over him. I didn’t gloat. That was never my style. But for once, he needed to see that love wasn’t something you could reclaim with grand gestures or diamond rings. Not after throwing a good woman away.

She needed to stand tall in front of this unrepentant cheat. “Come in, you look like this, and given our history, I can't help but care for you as well.” “Care? For me? From you? I must be in hell to hear you say these words. Didn't you choose her over me? Didn't you both decide to betray me? Look, I have a lot to do, excuse me!” She said as she bent back down to gather the mug cups and walk out on him, but when she reached the doors he dragged her back by her elbow.

That I indeed knew. “—you two were a complex puzzle with pieces that did not neatly fit together.” “That was why it did not work—” She cut me off almost instantly, “No, you two were simply bounded . . . Stuck in chains that were unfortunate enough to have picked to imprison you two.” “He chose her over me! That-that was no chain! It was out of his own volition—a choice he made.” I cried out in defiance, not accepting what she was trying to say.

, I look around in search of her. “She doesn’t think it is right for you both to meet yet”, he answers me and I arch an eyebrow. “I don’t understand. You chose her over me? You left because of her. Yo-“ “Listen” “Damn you Mr Timon Darc. Let me guess you had to choose and it was her” “Hear me out” “I will always be second to her or everyone won’t tell me to take care of her. First it was my dad, one strange woman who my heart warms up to and then yo-“

But the hurt was real and it was still there and the decision had been made and unmade decisions had a way of meaning nothing. Him choosing her over me had hurt in a way that the weeks of open rivalry never had. That was the part I kept coming back to. Not the accusation, not the raised voice, not even the look on his face. The choosing. The fact that he had stood there and chosen a version of events that made me the problem — without asking, without pausing, without the benefit of even a question — and the fact that it had landed in my chest like something that mattered. More than the beefing ever did.

“He chose her over me αnd my child.” I wiped my teαrs‚ pressed my hαnd to my stomαch‚ αnd inhαled deeply. And in thαt moment‚ I knew exαctly whαt to do.

He wanted to see my reaction when I saw him going out with my best friend. But every time I saw him, I moved out of the way out of shame. Eventually, I went abroad without telling anyone, and he thought that was proof that I played him like a fool. And that was why he dated Willow for two years. No, there was no love involved between them.
