Emma had spent five years trying to forget the one man who broke her heart-David. She thought she had moved on, built her life, and healed. But fate had other plans. One unexpected afternoon, he appeared at her doorstep, claiming he had changed, claiming he never stopped loving her. Furious, betrayed, and confused, Emma had no idea if she should slam the door... or let him in. Everyone warned her: David had walked away once-why trust him again? But when he looked at her with the same intensity she remembered, every doubt melted... and every buried feeling surged back. Just when Emma thought she could resist, secrets from their past resurfaced, a mysterious warning threatened her safety, and David's return stirred more than just old memories. Could she give love a second chance... or would trusting him again be the biggest mistake of her life?

I Never Should Have Let My Ex Walk Away Chapter 1 The Return

"David... why are you here?"

I froze mid-step, my coffee spilling slightly on the pristine white counter of my small apartment. His voice, calm yet laced with the arrogance I remembered all too well, made my heart thud painfully in my chest.

It had been five years since David left. Five years of heartbreak, rejection, and pretending I'd moved on. And now, here he was, standing in my doorway, looking exactly the same-maybe even better. The same sharp jawline, the same piercing eyes that used to see right through me, and that infuriatingly confident smile.

"You're still mad at me," he said, almost accusingly, as if I owed him an explanation.

"Mad? No, I'm... shocked," I admitted, though my voice trembled. "And maybe a little terrified that you actually showed up at my door without warning."

He stepped closer, unbothered by my attempt to back away. "I had to see you, Emma. There's... something I need to tell you."

My stomach dropped. Something he needs to tell me? Could this be the apology I've been waiting for-or worse, another reason to regret ever loving him?

"You left me," I said, my voice barely above a whisper. "After everything... you just walked away."

David flinched slightly. "I know. And I was wrong. I know that now. But things were complicated... things I couldn't explain back then."

I laughed bitterly. "Complicated? That's your excuse for leaving me crying in the middle of the street while you chased your so-called 'dream'?"

He winced, clearly not expecting my anger. "Emma, I never stopped thinking about you-not for a single day. I had to make choices back then... choices I regretted immediately. But I didn't know how to fix it."

I felt my chest tighten. Every memory-the hurt, the sleepless nights, the tears-came rushing back.

"Why now?" I asked, trying to steady my voice. "Why after five years of silence?"

David looked down for a moment, then back at me with a gaze that made my knees almost buckle. "Because I can't leave things like this anymore. I came back to make things right. To... try again."

I swallowed hard. "Try again? You mean... pick up where we left off?"

He nodded slowly. "If you'll let me."

I wanted to scream at him, to tell him how impossible this was. And yet, part of me-the part I had buried deep beneath layers of pride and resentment-wanted to throw myself into his arms and never let go.

"You don't just walk back into someone's life after five years and expect things to be normal," I said finally, my voice steadier than I felt.

"I'm not asking for normal," he said softly. "I'm asking for a chance. One chance to prove I haven't forgotten you... that I never really did."

The words hung in the air. And for a moment, I almost believed him. Almost.

I stepped back, keeping my hands pressed against the counter as if it could hold me steady. "You have no idea what I went through," I whispered. "Do you? Five years of pretending I didn't still love you, of forcing myself to live without you, and now you just show up, like nothing happened?"

David took a slow step forward. "I know exactly what you went through," he said, his voice low but firm. "And I hated myself every single day for causing it. I thought leaving was the only way to protect you... and me. I was wrong, Emma. So wrong."

The apartment felt too small, the air too thick. Memories of our past flooded me-the stolen kisses behind the school, the laughter in coffee shops, the way he used to hold me like the world could fall apart and nothing would matter as long as we were together. And then the heartbreak. The silence. The betrayal.

"You think saying that now fixes everything?" I asked, my voice cracking.

He shook his head, a shadow of pain crossing his face. "I don't expect it to. I just... can't leave without trying. You deserve the truth, Emma. You deserve to know why I left."

I hesitated, my body instinctively shrinking from him, yet my heart betrayed me with a flutter that refused to be silenced. "And what if I don't want to hear it?" I challenged, though curiosity had already begun to gnaw at me.

David's hand hovered in the air for a moment, then rested gently near mine-so close, yet not touching. "Then I'll wait. But I won't leave again without telling you everything."

I wanted to scream at him to leave, to slam the door and lock it, to protect my fragile heart. But the truth was... part of me wanted him here. Wanted to hear him out. Wanted to know if the boy who left me was still the man I once loved-or if he had become someone else entirely.

The silence stretched between us, heavy and electric. Outside, the city moved on, oblivious to the storm brewing in my small apartment.

Finally, David broke the quiet. "Emma... I know I don't deserve this. I know I walked away. But I've changed. And I'm here now. Will you at least let me try?"

My fingers tightened around the edge of the counter. My mind screamed no, yet my heart... my heart whispered maybe.

And then, just as I was about to respond, the phone on the counter buzzed. A message from someone I hadn't heard from in years. My eyes scanned the screen-and my stomach sank.

It was a warning.

And it wasn't about David.

I received a pornographic video. "Do you like this?" The man speaking in the video is my husband, Mark, whom I haven't seen for several months. He is naked, his shirt and pants scattered on the ground, thrusting forcefully on a woman whose face I can't see, her plump and round breasts bouncing vigorously. I can clearly hear the slapping sounds in the video, mixed with lustful moans and grunts. "Yes, yes, fuck me hard, baby," the woman screams ecstatically in response. "You naughty girl!" Mark stands up and flips her over, slapping her buttocks as he speaks. "Stick your ass up!" The woman giggles, turns around, sways her buttocks, and kneels on the bed. I feel like someone has poured a bucket of ice water on my head. It's bad enough that my husband is having an affair, but what's worse is that the other woman is my own sister, Bella. ************************************************************************************************************************ "I want to get a divorce, Mark," I repeated myself in case he didn't hear me the first time-even though I knew he'd heard me clearly. He stared at me with a frown before answering coldly, "It's not up to you! I'm very busy, don't waste my time with such boring topics, or try to attract my attention!" The last thing I was going to do was argue or bicker with him. "I will have the lawyer send you the divorce agreement," was all I said, as calmly as I could muster. He didn't even say another word after that and just went through the door he'd been standing in front of, slamming it harshly behind him. My eyes lingered on the knob of the door a bit absentmindedly before I pulled the wedding ring off my finger and placed it on the table. I grabbed my suitcase, which I'd already had my things packed in and headed out of the house.

I had just survived a private jet crash, my body a map of violet bruises and my lungs still burning from the smoke. I woke up in a sterile hospital room, gasping for my husband's name, only to realize I was completely alone. While I was bleeding in a ditch, my husband, Adam, was on the news smiling at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. When I tracked him down at the hospital's VIP wing, I didn't find a grieving husband. I found him tenderly cradling his ex-girlfriend, Casie, in his arms, his face lit with a protective warmth he had never shown me as he carried her into the maternity ward. The betrayal went deeper than I could have imagined. Adam admitted the affair started on our third anniversary-the night he claimed he was stuck in London for a merger. Back at the manor, his mother had already filled our planned nursery with pink boutique bags for Casie's "little princess." When I demanded a divorce, Adam didn't flinch. He sneered that I was "gutter trash" from a foster home and that I'd be begging on the streets within a week. To trap me, he froze my bank accounts, cancelled my flight, and even called the police to report me for "theft" of company property. I realized then that I wasn't his partner; I was a charity case he had plucked from obscurity to manage his life. To the Hortons, I was just a servant who happened to sleep in the master bedroom, a "resilient" woman meant to endure his abuse in silence while the whole world laughed at the joke that was my marriage. Adam thought stripping me of his money would make me crawl back to him. He was wrong. I walked into his executive suite during his biggest deal of the year and poured a mug of sludge over his original ten-million-dollar contracts. Then, right in front of his board and his mistress, I stripped off every designer thread he had ever paid for until I was standing in nothing but my own silk camisole. "You can keep the clothes, Adam. They're as hollow as you are." I grabbed my passport, turned my back on his billions, and walked out of that glass tower barefoot, bleeding, and finally free.
