Too Good For You Chapter 12
Lance sobbed. "I've managed to contain the damage and reported her to the police, but the company's in chaos. Even if you don't want me, you still care about the company you helped build, right? It's your baby too! Please, come back. You're all I have now, Brianna."I should have listened to you and fired Lucinda back then! None of this would have happened if I had listened!"Suddenly, he lifted his head and fixed me with a pointed stare. "You aren't blameless, Brianna. You bear some responsibility too! You knew she was a snake. Why didn't you do more to expose her?!"I laughed. I had done exactly that countless times. I had shown him evidence again and again. He had never believed me."Oh, now you're just grasping at straws. No matter how many times I tried to show you proof of her rotten character, you wouldn't listen. You never stopped trusting her, Lance. Haven't you realized that by now?"You kept telling yourself she'd had a hard life growing up, so you always took her side
Too Good For You Chapter 11
Every time I wanted to take a break, Lance would somehow come up with a grand reason why I should keep going and work harder.Only later did I learn the truth: he wanted me to work more so he could free up time to date Lucinda. It was that ridiculous.No more. It was time to live for myself.…Lance sent only a few texts. When I ignored them for a while, he stopped altogether. Persistence had never been one of his strengths.I thought that was the end of it until one late evening while I was working. I was wrapping the last bouquet of flowers when he suddenly called.I had no intention of answering, but the fluttering ribbon somehow brushed against the screen and accepted the call."Good evening. Is this Mr. Lance Mitchell's significant other? Mr. Mitchell is currently too drunk to leave our bar. Please come and take him home."I paused and replied flatly, "Let him speak."The caller fell silent for a moment before responding. "Miss Carter, he's drunk. Please just come and get

Lance nonchalantly offered me a slice of cake. I didn't take it. Instead, I said, "No thanks. I'm allergic to butter."Only Lucinda liked her cake this buttery.He awkwardly set the slice back down.I checked the time and asked pointedly, "So, what's the purpose of this visit? I'd like to get to bed as early as possible. I have a train to catch tomorrow."He lifted his head sharply. "Why?"I saw the wistfulness in his eyes and swallowed the lump in my throat. "I'm returning to my hometown.""I'll go with you. I can buy a ticket right now." He immediately started powering on his phone.I genuinely couldn't tell what was going through his mind.Taking a deep breath, I said, "I'm not coming back, Lance. You don't have to go with me."His finger froze above the screen. At last, it seemed to sink in that I was leaving for good.I had come to this city for the person I loved. Now that I had lost that anchor, I had no reason to stay.He drew in a sharp breath as panic began to take
Too Good For You Chapter 9
Lance erupted, "When does your tantrum ever end, Brianna?! What did she ever do to make you hurt her like that?!"You know how hard her life has been, don't you? She grew up ostracized and was constantly subjected to false rumors and slander! What you're doing is no different from what those bullies did. It's despicable! Don't you feel any shame?!"I didn't even get a chance to say a word."What do you mean Lucy had a hard life?" one of his siblings asked.Lance began telling them all about it while shooting me several glares.The Mitchells quickly began to pity her."Oh my God. How could she be such a cruel bitch?! Lucy's already so traumatized! No wonder she has such low self-esteem... and Brianna thinks that makes her an easy target for her cheap schemes!" Marlene shouted.As Lance recounted Lucinda's supposed backstory to his family, flashes of sympathy and heartache occasionally crossed his face.Little did he know that none of it was true. Lucinda had made it all up to hi

I would want that car back. As for the joint savings account, I simply requested half of it, as stipulated by our legal agreement."Don't just take her word for it, Lance! You need to do your own due diligence! If she's lying to you, we'll suffer a huge loss!" Leah urged.Lance hesitated, then fixed me with a hard stare as if a realization had just struck him.When he made no move to verify my claims, Leah snatched his phone and checked for herself.Both the bank and the company's treasury department confirmed that nothing about his assets or personal wealth had changed.Good. I had said everything that needed to be said and was ready to leave."Right. The car Lucinda has been driving belongs to me, so please return it after it's been washed and sanitized. I've already presold it to someone else, so make it quick," I said."Wait!" he suddenly called out.I stopped, thinking he had more questions.Instead, to my disbelief, he asked, "Why are you divorcing me? I haven't done any
Too Good For You Chapter 7
Lance stared at the divorce decree numbly.The others exchanged glances, then broad grins spread across their faces. His siblings, in particular, made no effort to hide their excitement."Damn, Lance! Why didn't you tell us you'd been planning this? Mom and we had been discussing ways to convince you to divorce her!" Marlene exclaimed."Yay! I finally get a new sister-in-law!"Even Leah's anger had eased considerably. Her gaze softened when it settled on me. "You should have told me you two were getting divorced, sweetie! If I'd known, I wouldn't have wasted so much breath trying to persuade you!"Lance snapped out of his daze and immediately denied it. "But we aren't getting divorced!""Then what's that in her hand? A fake divorce decree to mess with you? What, she thinks you can't live without her now?" Nolan remarked, laughing alongside his sister.Even Lucinda giggled.Lance snatched the paper from my hand, tore it to pieces, and flung the scraps into the air like confetti,
