Semua Bab I Died When My Ex Tried To Get Back Together: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Debbie Ford watched the letter slowly burn down to embers.Ignoring the danger, she grabbed a coat to beat at the flames until they died.In front of thousands of livestream viewers, she teared up and shoved me onto the white rose petals-covered sofa.“Charles, what on earth are you doing? Are you toying with me?”Her manager, Ken Zimmerman, shut the livestream off in a panic. I said nothing.She stood so close that I could smell the lingering cologne on her clothes. It was the same one George Brookes always wore.I suddenly remembered the time when she was still working as an extra on movie sets after we finished college. She had held my hand and told me very seriously, “Charles, when I win the Best Actress award, I’ll marry you, and we’ll have the grandest wedding ever.”When she actually did win the Best Actress award, she changed the deal.She told me to propose to her publicly during livestreams, and only after I had proposed to her a hundred times would she give up her

We had been together for many years. Every time I suggested going to the movies like any normal couple, she would loop her arm through mine and coax me softly. “Come on, I’m an actress now. If someone takes photos, my career will be in trouble. People might even dig into your private life. I just don’t want you to get hurt.” But after she became an actress, she was always “paired” with one male actor, or photographed vacationing with another male singer.All those sweet words she used on me in the past echoed in my ears. With how deeply I used to love her, the mockery only stung deeper. Halfway through the movie, George leaned close to her ear. “Debbie, reporters are everywhere outside the cinema. Should we leave early?”“We’ll go first. You leave later.” She did not ask for my opinion. She took George and left ahead of me. I stayed in my seat and quietly finished the movie. I would not suffer any longer for a woman who did not love me, and I would not live in fear becaus

George wore a crisp white suit and held the diamond ring in his hand. The smile on his face froze. His expression stiffened as he asked awkwardly, “Debbie, are you not happy to see me?” Debbie did not even bother answering him. Her eyes scanned the crowd, clearly searching for me, but I was nowhere to be found. George lowered his voice to plead, “Debbie, this is livestreaming everywhere. Please don’t embarrass me like this.” Debbie deserved her title as Best Actress. She quickly gathered herself and snapped back into her graceful persona.Seeing the gentle softness return to her face, George brightened up and said cheerfully, “Charles finally realized that you don’t love him and that he’s standing between us. He told me to fight for my own happiness. “He could be pretty sensible sometimes…” The gentle mask on Debbie’s face cracked. She gritted her teeth. “What did you say to him? Everything between you and me is just a publicity strategy. You don’t seriously think I bought

She even announced our relationship publicly on X. She admitted everything she had done to me in the past in hopes that I would see it and forgive her. When Jimmy relayed it all to me, I did not react. I could not even find the interest to care. I only said quietly, “I don’t want to hear anything about her anymore. She has nothing to do with me anymore. I don’t want to see her again either...” Jimmy agreed immediately with relief washing over his face, “Alright. I’ll make sure she stays far away. I’ll never let her bother you again.”My condition worsened by the day. The pain kept me awake through the night. I received a call from an unfamiliar number one night. The moment I heard her voice, I knew it was Debbie. “Charles, I know you are listening. Have you caused enough drama? “It’s all my fault. I’ve been too selfish. I’ve always loved you. Can you forgive me? Can we start over? “We can go abroad. They have the most advanced treatments. You’ll get better…” “Debbie…

“No… no, this can’t be! How is this possible?” Dad’s eyes suddenly cleared. He muttered to himself, as if trying to convince reality. “If he didn’t want to take care of me, fine… Why make up such a terrible excuse?” Jimmy watched the shift in his expression and thought of everything that had happened before. He finally asked the one question that had burned in his mind. “Charles is your biological son. Why? Why did you treat him like this?“You treated your stepson so well… why couldn’t you give even a fraction of that love to your actual son?” Dad froze. He was clearly unprepared for this question. He murmured nonstop, “He’s my son… I raised him through hardship… now he has a younger brother. If he supports the family, they’ll remember him… I’m old now, and I don’t have much time left… if anything happens to him one day, the family can help him in return… “He’s dating a big star, she has money… The news says she makes two million a day. I only asked for thirty thousand. If
