Never Forgive, Never Remarry

His touch made me feel physically sick. I wasn’t sure if it was morning sickness or just pure disgust at the sight of him. I gagged and spat out a mouthful of sour bile, instinctively pushing him away.

"Saveline, are you insane? Are you done yet?"

Funny enough. He didn’t care that I was throwing up. He only cared that I had pushed him.

"Yes, I must be sick. I've been insulted by millions of comments, I don't dare turn on my phone and I still apologize. If that's not being sick, then what is?"

Even after being cursed at so harshly, my voice remained soft and petulant as I voiced my grievance.

I'd always been gentle and timid by nature. When others bullied me, I would simply avoid them.

I remembered being bullied by a girl who acted sweet but was actually manipulative.

Without hesitation, David stepped in front of me and said sharply, “You better jump and drown in the river. That way, people would still think it’s just a piece of trash!”

The manipulative girl ran off after being scolded and David gently pinched my nose, speaking softly, “You little weakling, what would you do without me? You’d get bullied too much.”

I never imagined that one day, David would stand against me.

My parents were in the business of mining raw diamonds. That year, the mine collapsed.

My parents were driven to suicide by public opinion, leaving me trapped in endless darkness.

I was taken in by our housekeeper, but it was David who stole his father’s antique collection worth over ten million dollars and sold it on the black market to get the money to set up a home for me and the housekeeper in another city.

As for David himself, he was beaten severely by his father and then kicked out of the family.

When I was broken and battered, he treated me like a treasure.

But now that all the hardships had passed, the man who once pulled me out of the abyss was the same one pushing me into another torment that devoured me from the inside out.

I closed my eyes, bit my lip and choked back my tears. “David, let’s at least keep some dignity for each other. Let’s end this on good terms and get a divorce.”

David frowned slightly, his voice laced with confusion. “Saveline, you’re really divorcing me over something this trivial? It’s just cyberbullying, haven’t you been through worse? When your parents killed all those people, weren’t the insults you got back then even harsher? You’ve already been through it once, haven’t you? Why are you still so sensitive? I really don’t get you.”

The people closest to you always knew where it hurt the most.

He knew better than anyone that my parents’ deaths were a pain I would never be able to face in this lifetime. Yet, at this moment, he tossed it at me so effortlessly, as if it was nothing.

"Get out! I don’t want to see you!"

With bloodshot eyes, I hurled a pillow at him.

"Shrew! Completely unreasonable."

Cursing under his breath, he grabbed the sakura pink bag and stormed out.

Not long after, Lucia posted a new update:

"My big straight man couldn’t even complete a simple little task. Girls, tell me, should I make him kneel on a washboard?"

David immediately replied: "Diana, have mercy!"

The comment section was flooded with people squealing about how sweet they were.

It seemed I really was just a piece in their game.

Love was supposed to be for both of us, but while I was still figuring out what went wrong, I had already been pushed from the main role in his story to just a background character.

It was just another cliché romance story, where the new lover laughed while the old one cried.

I wiped away my tears and unlocked my password-protected notebook.

Then, I dialed an international call across the ocean.

James was the CEO of the world’s largest diamond mining company.

Growing up alongside my father, I had learned a lot about raw diamond mining.

Even though my father had fallen from grace, his reputation in the industry remained formidable.
