That night, Axel ditched his room in the hotel and transferred to a villa overlooking the ocean.

He was relaxing on the sun lounger, drinking whisky beside the pool, drowning his sorrow while staring at the horizon above.

The evening was beautiful, a multitude of stars can be seen shining brightly in the sky above. The full moon added to the allure of the night. It could have been a romantic night if his wife was sitting beside him as they gazed at the stars above.

Sigh.

He breathed deeply, looking back at the biggest mistake he had ever made in his life. His first mistake was agreeing to the arranged marriage with Sherry and abandoning the woman he truly loves.

Clara gushes happily.Due to the shock and surprise, the empty mug that Sherry held in her hand accidentally fell and landed on the floor with a loud thud, shattering into pieces."What is that sound, daughter?

"Alright, we will talk about this matter after you come home. Today is not the right time to discuss family affairs," she said, dropping the topic quickly.

    One week had already passed since he last talked to Sherry. Russel was fighting the urge to call Sherry or send her a heartfelt message. He was expecting that she would beg him to reconcile with him. Unfortunately, she never sent him a message of reconciliation. Has she just forgotten him like that? As in? That hurts really bad! He thought he was very special in Sherry's heart. Why didn't she message him for reconciliation? Russell shook his head, feeling sad and disappointed that the woman he genuinely loved moved on quickly from their breakup as if he didn't exist in her heart. He can do the same if she can move on quickly from their broken relationship. He hated to admit that he did miss her so much, but he also got his pride and ego to think about. No! He won't call or message her asking for a reconciliation. He broke up with her, so be it! He will never back out from his decision. It's final! He will never wait for her. Now that he finally manages to break free from his obse

I won't be able to forget Sherry, and I can't move on if you always remind me of her. So I have to get rid of you. I'm sorry..."
