I chased after Jake Burton for eight years, only to break up with him when I saw he had saved his ex-girlfriend's contact as "Baby." Her name was Janet Flynn. "Just because I forgot to change the contact name?" I stared at Jake's mocking smile and nodded. His friends said I was narrow-minded and overreacted, but I just kept my gaze on Jake without saying a word. Jake's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost. After a moment, he simply sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to plead with me to get back together." Everyone in the room erupted in laughter. I pushed open the door, clutched the pathology report in my coat pocket, and walked into the night. I had wanted to weave a beautiful dream for the last moments of my life. But I shouldn't force love. It was even more bitter than the medicine I took.

I Broke up with My Boyfriend Before I Died Chapter 1

I chased after Jake Burton for eight years, only to break up with him when I saw he had saved his ex-girlfriend's contact as "Baby." Her name was Janet Flynn.

"Just because I forgot to change the contact name?"

I stared at Jake's mocking smile and nodded.

His friends said I was narrow-minded and overreacted, but I just kept my gaze on Jake without saying a word.

Jake's dark eyes seemed to be covered with frost. After a moment, he simply sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to plead with me to get back together."

Everyone in the room erupted in laughter.

I pushed open the door, clutched the pathology report in my coat pocket, and walked into the night.

I had wanted to weave a beautiful dream for the last moments of my life.

But I shouldn't force love. It was even more bitter than the medicine I took.

So I decided to end the relationship between Jake and me.

1.

"Jake, why don't you call Janet and tell her you miss her?"

At Jake's company celebration party, a young employee called his ex-girlfriend and wanted to get back together with her after he was emboldened by alcohol.

Mack shouted for Jake to call Janet at that moment. He seemed to have drunk a lot as well.

Jake opened his slightly drunken eyes and laughed and let them get lost.

It didn't have much impact. The crowd egged him on even more. One daring person teased, "Make the call and say we all miss your girlfriend."

The other company employees looked at me, puzzled.

Jake's girlfriend was publicly me now, so who was the girlfriend they were talking about?

They were confused but hesitant to ask. I raised my glass, took a big gulp, and swallowed the bitter liquid down my throat.

I had a crush on Jake for six years, dated him for two, but I still couldn't get his friends' recognition.

Mack glanced at me with bad intentions and said, "I dare not call Janet because someone is here, Jake?"

Jake chuckled and said, "What dare I not do?"

He took out his phone, dialed the number saved under "Baby."

Mack jeered again. "Oh, it's still Baby. Jake, you're quite shameless!"

Seeing the contact name, I was a little sad.

I had dated Jake for two years, but he always saved my number as the cold and distant name, Jenna Reed.

I thought he wasn't the type for romantic surprises.

Now he seemed only be tender to another woman.

The room fell into a silence, leaving only the anxious beeping of the phone, echoing with a suspenseful pause.

Watching Jake's tense expression and slightly curved lips, I suddenly lost my interest.

The call was answered as expected. The voice on the other end was sweet and playful with a slight anger. "It's early morning here. Why are you calling me? I was still sleeping."

Jake's voice was hoarse, "Who are you sleeping with?"

"Why do you care? Who are you to me, anyway?"

Jake tossed the phone onto the table, lit a cigarette, and let others see the contact name and hear the voice.

Indeed, Jake had never hidden his affection.

The smoke from his lips drifted slowly upwards, and his voice was soaked in alcohol. He said with a smile, "It's the concern from your ex-boyfriend."

Mack shouted into the phone with a mischievous tone, "Janet, Jake misses you, hahh!"

"Hmph, then keep missing me. Bye."

Even after the call ended, Jake's friends continued to tease him.

I downed another glass of liquor, and the burning feeling reached my stomach. White liquor was bitter, but not as bitter as a forced relationship.

I stood up and said, "Jake, let's break up."

The once lively room fell silent as the grave, and three seconds later, it exploded into chaos.

Almost everyone was criticizing me.

"Jenna, don't be so narrow-minded. It was just a phone call. Why do you overreact like this?"

"Don't embarrass yourself. Jake doesn't like women who causes trouble. You've been chasing him for years. Don't provoke him."

Mack laughed mockingly. "You are just a stand-in. Are you thinking you could turn the tables?"

I kept my gaze fixed on Jake without speaking. Jake looked at me for a short moment, but I didn't change my mind. His dark eyes were filled with frost briefly. But he just sneered, "Fine. Let's break up. Just don't come back to me and cry to ask to get back together."

The room erupted in laughter.

"Jake, you are so confident, huh?"

Jake swirled his glass and said coldly, "She can't go through without me."

The crowd egged him on even more. I clutched the diagnosis report inside my pocket and walked into the night.

Fate had taught me how to live alone after my parents passed away.

Now, fate would use my death to show Jake that I could go through without him.

While I Was Bleeding Out, He Lit Lanterns For Her

Katie Oettgen

As I lay on the floor of our manor, bleeding out from a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, I used my last ounce of strength to call my husband, Cole. I begged him for help, my vision blurring. But the only thing I heard was the clinking of champagne glasses and his mistress's giggle in the background. "Stop the drama, June," Cole snapped, his voice cold. "We're about to go on stage. Don't call again." He hung up, leaving me to die alone on the Persian rug while he accepted an award with another woman on his arm. I woke up in the hospital days later. My baby was gone. They had removed my fallopian tube. Cole finally arrived, smelling of expensive scotch and his mistress's perfume. He didn't hug me. He didn't cry. Instead, he leaned over my hospital bed, pressing his knee into the mattress until my fresh stitches tore open and bled. "You embarrassed me by calling an ambulance," he hissed. "My mistress, Alycia, says you're faking it. Clean yourself up." He left me bleeding again to go announce a $10 million donation to Alycia's "groundbreaking" medical research. I stared at the TV screen, numb. The research Alycia was taking credit for? It was mine. I wrote that patent years ago under a pseudonym. They thought I was just a poor, orphan housewife who needed Cole's money to survive. They had no idea I was actually a billionaire scientist hiding my identity. I pulled the IV needle out of my arm. A drop of blood fell onto the divorce papers I had been hiding. I didn't wipe it off. I signed my name right over it. Then I walked into the bank, reactivated my dormant account with $128 million, and bought the penthouse directly overlooking Cole's house. The mourning widow is dead. The avenger is born.

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

No Longer Mrs. Cooley: The Architect's Return

Xiao Xiaosu

I went to the City Clerk’s office for a routine copy of my marriage license to finalize a trust fund audit. I expected a simple piece of paper, but the clerk’s pitying look told me my entire life was a lie. "The license was never finalized, Ms. Oliver. In the eyes of the state, you are single." The three-hundred-guest wedding at the Plaza and the Vogue features meant nothing. My husband, Gray Cooley, had intentionally filed the documents with a "procedural defect" so he could discard me without a legal divorce. Moments later, an iCloud invite titled "Our Little Secret" popped up on my screen. It was a photo of my best friend, Brylee, holding a positive pregnancy test at our Hamptons estate. Gray’s text to her was the final blow: "Happy anniversary, babe. This baby is the best gift. Once the trust unlocks today, we’re done with the charade." I soon discovered they were even stealing my career, reassigning my architectural masterpiece to Brylee while preparing my eviction notice. Gray's mother called me a "barren mule" in a leaked recording, mocking the infertility I suffered after saving Gray’s life in a construction accident. I wasn't a wife; I was a three-year placeholder used to secure his inheritance. How could the man I bled for treat me like a disposable prop? How could my best friend carry his child while pretending to comfort me through my darkest moments? The betrayal burned until it turned into a cold, hard stone of fury. I didn't cry. Instead, I walked into the penthouse of the Barretts, the Cooleys' most powerful rivals. I signed a marriage contract with Kane Barrett, the man the tabloids called the "Beast of Wall Street." "I want a wedding," I told his father, my voice steady and lethal. "Bigger than the one I had with Gray." If they wanted me gone, they would have to watch me become the woman who owns their world.
