I'm Not His Leading Lady Chapter 6
As I headed out of the house, Sean no longer tried to stop me.However, his expression was dark as he threatened, "I'm going to give you one more chance, Daphne, so stop kicking up a fuss, okay? I may not be as receptive the next time you try to talk to me."I was suddenly struck with a thought. So what if we had known each other for 27 years? I realized I no longer understood Sean.He should know best that I was the kind of person who never looked back once I made my mind up. But now, he seemed to think that I would want to get back together with him after I had asked to end our relationship.Without even bothering to look at him, I headed out of the house, dragging my suitcase along.Usually, in romance movies, the male lead would always wallow in regret once the female lead decided to give up on him, but Sean didn't. He didn't even send a text to try and patch things up with me.Once I saw him attending all sorts of events and gatherings with Cynthia, I couldn't resist crying.

Cynthia cried as she spoke. She even raised her hand to slap me, but Sean stopped her before the slap landed. He had a pained expression, though I couldn't tell whom his heart ached for.Gently rubbing her hand, Sean said, "Don't be mad. I know you're doing it for my sake."His words felt like needles stabbing me in the heart. To help him with his medical condition, I had gone abroad for two years. Even when I was exhausted in every way possible, I dared not take a break. The immense pressure I felt took a toll on my mental health and left irreversible damage on me.Resisting the urge to cry, I asked, "Sean, do you also think I owe you?"Sean stiffened, but he ignored me and coaxed Cynthia into heading to the car first. In spite of her reluctance, she left as instructed.Sean and I were once lovers, but now, there was nothing left for us to say to each other."Daphne, Cynthia works at that hospital. Must you go there too? She… won't be happy if you're her colleague. Can't you go

Various variations of the story about me abandoning Sean when he was sick started spreading across the internet.Soon, someone tracked down my identity and unearthed my information. They left scathing remarks and insults on the official websites of both the hospital and my family's company. They even questioned my academic credentials and claimed I was incompetent as a doctor.My reputation took a nosedive, and all of my patients asked to be assigned to someone else.Considering how rapidly the news spread, it was obvious that someone was fanning the flames behind the scenes.I took Sean's number out of my blocked contacts and called him. He didn't seem surprised at all to hear from me."Are you the one behind this?" I questioned.After a brief silence, Sean replied, "I simply didn't object to it."I thought my heart had grown numb by now, but it ached in pain anyway. I was so done with myself. I thought I would've been able to stop feeling hurt by now."Sean, don't you feel an

"I don't care about all of that," Sean declared. His eyes reddened, and his voice trembled as he continued, "Did you witness those things yourself?"Immediately, I figured out what he was referring to—his intimate acts with Cynthia.I nodded curtly in response, and all the blood drained out of his face."I was wrong, Daphne. I now realize just how big of a mistake I've been making all along. I'm the one who can't be without you," Sean declared.My expression remained indifferent as I replied, "Not everyone gets to be forgiven just because they recognize the error in their ways. I don't even want to look at you."Sean swayed on his feet. He didn't seem to expect me to respond like that.Even as I headed back to my place, I heard him mumbling to himself, "It's fine. Everything's fine. You can't leave me. You'll definitely come back to me."Considering the state of our relationship now, I couldn't fathom why he was so convinced of that.Either way, it felt like Sean was engrossed

Cynthia came charging over to us with tear-filled eyes.What a strange sight it had to be to see Sean holding onto me while she held onto him."She doesn't love you anymore, Sean. I don't want to break up with you, either. Haven't we had a happy relationship for the last two years? We love each other!" Cynthia declared.My heart was gripped with sorrow.Two years?I had been out of the country for two years, and their relationship had gone on for two years as well.It turned out that the duration of a relationship had no impact on how strong it was. It took over two decades to build up the foundation of our relationship, but two years was enough time to turn it into ruins.Yet, Sean, who used to constantly worry that I would bully Cynthia, flung her hand off him and scoffed cruelly."We love each other, you say? Who do you think you are? I only paid a bit more attention to you because you look like Daphne. "You're not someone I love. At most, you're just a toy that I've mista
I'm Not His Leading Lady Chapter 11
Just like that, two years' worth of constant effort and labor, those seemingly never-ending days and nights of exhaustion, had been reduced to a joke.I touched my face, instantly drenching my palm with tears.With a sarcastic smirk, I asked Sean, "So? Is that your excuse for cheating on me?"Sean lowered his head, his face turning a little pale. He said, "Cynthia looks so much like you. Plus, the moment I met her, I started getting better. That made me wonder if it was fate."That only made me feel even more scornful.It took an immeasurable amount of dedication and sacrifice to bring about significant progress in the field of medicine, but in Sean's eyes, it was merely a result of the so-called plot of a romance novel.Sean started getting agitated again. He tried to take my hand as he continued, "In the story, your life became a tragedy because you kept trying to pick on Cynthia. I didn't want you to end up like that. That's why I kept trying to stop you."But Daphne, I get i

Mr. Hoult paused briefly before he started hitting Sean even harder.Sean turned as pale as a ghost. He couldn't stop shaking."Mr. Hoult, I don't care if you want to teach your son a lesson. Even if you hit him to death right here, right now, I won't say a single word."Sean's eyes filled with a look of immense horror before he stumbled to the floor."Daphne…"I spotted a tear hanging from the corner of his eye.At the end of the day, Mr. Hoult did care about Sean. He tried to say something, but Dad stopped him."Edgar, make sure this punk never shows his face in front of my daughter again, or our friendship ends now. I'll do everything within my power to make your lives a living hell."Dad and Mr. Hoult had been friends for decades now, but he was willing to go this far for my sake.It looked like Mr. Hoult had more to say, but in the end, he didn't say anything. He simply apologized to me before taking Sean away.As I stared at the closed door, my tears fell. Someone I h

On the day I returned to the country, my boyfriend, Sean Hoult, threw me a welcome home party. However, my old friends all eyed me with looks of dissatisfaction and resentment as they made sarcastic comments.Someone remarked, "I'm amazed. Who would've thought that the person who up and left would actually be shameless enough to come back?"The others chimed in, expressing their agreement."I know, right? She's so shameless."When I left the country, Sean had been gravely ill with barely any hope of survival, and his business was in dire straits.In just two years, he made a miraculous recovery, and even his business had soared to new heights.However, Sean knew why I left the country.I turned toward him, but he remained quiet, showing no intention of standing up for me.All of a sudden, a woman named Cynthia Tucker picked up her wine glass and stood up. When I saw her face, I was momentarily stunned.She shared an uncanny resemblance to me, but the words that came out of her

I'm Not His Leading Lady Chapter 5
All of a sudden, I recalled what happened before I went abroad. Sean had hugged me and refused to let go. It was his first time shedding tears because of me."If we make it past this hurdle, Daphne, I'm going to marry you when you come back," he had said then.Cynthia was crying tears of joy. They embraced in blissful happiness while I went back out into the rain like a pathetic fool.The chill from the water that soaked into my shoes moved all the way up my body, chilling me to the bone.Ever since I found out Sean was cheating on me, I had been considering breaking up with him. However, we had known each other for 27 years and had been in a loving relationship for ten. He had long become a seemingly inseparable part of me.I didn't know how to ask for a breakup—to remove him from my heart.But now, I realized I would never be able to forgive Sean. In fact, I wished he had never appeared in my life.Sean was in a good mood when he came back. Even after he had just given another

Sean didn't look pleased when he came back from work.I was trying to avoid him, but he called out to me."Daphne."I had no choice but to face him, but the next words out of his mouth felt like a knife plunging into my heart."You went to her house, didn't you?"I froze in place, but he didn't even wait for my response before he continued with an irritated expression, "I remember promising you that nothing would ever happen between Cynthia and me. She's not like you. She's easily frightened. Why did you hang around outside her house to scare her?"I felt as if my blood had stopped flowing. All I could do was watch as Sean carried on with his rant."I know you're feeling insecure about me because you just returned to the country, but you're the one who insisted on going abroad back then. Can you not be so paranoid about everything? You're making life hard for all of us."I could almost hear my heart crumbling into pieces. I tried to summon every ounce of strength in me to smile
