Queenie's wardrobe consisted of long pants and long dresses, none of which were suited for the weather. I found her some denim shorts and slippers and packed her favorite long skirt in a waterproof bag. With an umbrella in hand, I escorted her to the gate.However, the place was quite flooded. People passing by stirred up the muddy surface, making it difficult to walk in the knee-deep water.It was almost 8:00 am, and Queenie pushed me back inside. "You should head back upstairs. I can wade through on my own, or else I won't make it in time.""No, you're not feeling well to begin with. Let me help you. Be careful." I insisted on accompanying her."No need for that. You can go back. I'll manage," she said firmly.Before she could leave, Andrew, dressed in black clothes, waded over. He stood tall in front of the building.He wasn't holding an umbrella, and the heavy rain soaked his clothes. Despite his clothes sticking to his body, he didn't look disheveled at all. On the contrary,
Less than five minutes after the post, Flynn, who had followed me on Instagram for years, sent me a message for the first time: "Is she with you?"I didn't reply and closed the app.A minute later, he called. After some hesitation, I answered. But I didn't make it easy for him. "Who is this?""It's Flynn. Luna, why didn't Queenie tell me she's with you? Do you have any idea how hard I've been looking for her? I've searched the entire city inside out," he roared through the phone. My ears stung slightly from it.Who did Flynn think he was? How dare he shout at me? Did he believe that every woman was like Queenie, willing to forgive him for all his wrongdoings?"Flynn, you'd better tone down that temper. I don't owe you anything and won't fall for your tricks. You even have a child with another woman! Who are you to yell at Queenie? What's with the act? "This is the first time I've cursed someone, Flynn. Are you fucking crazy? Why do you think you can just walk all over Queenie? A
"Okay. Did Flynn call you?" Colin asked."How did you know? Did he contact you?" I was surprised."He asked me before if I knew Queenie's whereabouts, but I didn't tell him. Actually, if you hadn't posted that photo, he might not have found out so quickly," Colin explained."I don't know if I did the right thing. I wanted Flynn to see it. After so many years, they need to end their relationship instead of letting it hang. Flynn owes Queenie an explanation. And he has to step up if we want Queenie to move on. "I don't want Queenie to wait any longer. I pity her. Being together for five years is long enough. I don't want her to waste a lifetime on Flynn. Flynn isn't worth it, and Queenie deserves better," I grumbled sadly."I just ended a call with Flynn, and he seemed very emotional. He might come over these days, so keep an eye on Queenie. If anything happens, call me immediately. Don't try to handle this yourself. "And make sure Queenie gets to have a talk with Flynn. It doesn
"Queenie, what are you doing!" An angry shout suddenly erupted, startling everyone.Queenie turned pale as she trembled in fear.I closed my eyes. I had guessed that this was bound to happen.Flynn appeared out of thin air and grabbed Queenie's wrist, pulling her to his side. He glared angrily at Andrew. "Queenie, is this why you blocked me and didn't come home for two months?"My anger surged instantly. I wished I could go over and give Flynn a good beating! What a foul mouth! He should really wash it out with a toilet cleaner. He couldn't see his own faults, yet he still dared to blame others. What nerve!When Queenie heard this, color drained from her already pale face. She forced a smile and looked up at the man she had foolishly loved for years. Disappointment lay heavy in her eyes, so heavy that Flynn dared not meet her gaze and awkwardly turned away.She pulled her wrist back, rubbing it gently with her other hand. She muttered softly, "Not everyone is like you."Flynn lo
"I'm here for Queenie. Get lost." Flynn closed his eyes and composed himself.It seemed that he had matured over the years and could now control his emotions with ease. However, while he might have excelled in the business world, he was not a suitable lover.Andrew tried to intervene again but was stopped by Queenie.Queenie emerged from behind him and looked up at Flynn. "Say what you have to say here. We have dinner plans in ten minutes."The veins on Flynn's forehead bulged and his cheeks were flushed, his eyes burning with anger. He was suppressing his emotions."Fine, I'll say it here. My parents chose Yanice to be my marriage partner. She's the woman you met that year. She has liked me for many years, but she's just a marriage candidate. I don't like her. "As for the child, I drank too much one night. I didn't even know what happened when I woke up. I was still lying on her, and we hadn't even pulled away," Flynn began speaking.Queenie trembled upon hearing this, and a w
"I've been with you since I was 19 years old. I'm almost 24 now. It's been five years, and we've never put an official title to our relationship. How many more years will this continue? "Should I spend the rest of my life being your mistress? Enjoying the glory and wealth you give me while bearing endless insults? Becoming known as a hated homewrecker? Is this your way of loving someone? "You keep saying that I'm the only one you love, and I should be happy. But this kind of love hurts more than I can bear. And I don't want it anymore. Since you're here today, I'll make it clear. Flynn Hayes, I don't want the past to repeat itself. Let's break up." Queenie choked up.Flynn's expression became frantic with a mixture of embarrassment and panic in his eyes. He rushed over in fear and grabbed Queenie. "No, Queenie. I never said you were a mistress! You're not a homewrecker either! You're the only one I love! Take it back, Queenie. I don't want to break up! "Queenie, I know you resen
"Yes, you do love me. I don't deny that. But you love power and status more. In front of these things, I'll never be your first choice. "Flynn, no one would want to spend their whole life waiting for someone else to choose them. I've done everything I could for love, and the same couldn't be said for you. I'm tired now."I'm not as kind and tolerant as you make me seem, and I can't share the person I love with someone else. And she's not just any woman, she's also the guarantee of your power and status. I know I'm not as important to you as she is. And your desire to want everything disgusts me. "So, I give up. I loved you. But my love for you has run out, and I don't dare to love you again. That's all I have to say. You can go now. Like I said, let's never meet again." Queenie gave one final sigh.Flynn didn't expect Queenie, who had always let him have his way, to be so determined to break up. He looked at Queenie in disbelief, searching for even the tiniest bit of reluctance,
Once we were far enough, I turned around. Flynn was still there, staring at our backs like an old, regretful man.We were close to the owner of the pasta restaurant. When he saw us, he welcomed us earnestly and served us the food we ordered.Queenie and I sat opposite each other while Andrew sat next to her.Andrew placed Queenie's order before her. She slurped the spaghetti quietly. It looked like she was ravenous.As she ate, her tears began falling onto the plate. She put down the cutlery, took a tissue paper, and began sobbing while covering her eyes.I let out a sigh of relief.I was glad that she cried. I was so afraid that she'd keep those feelings bottled up as that would take a toll on her mental health. Now that she had closure, she could finally move on from Flynn.She needed to cry the pain out. Then, she'd be able to start anew.As for Flynn, his wealth and status had inflated his ego. He wasn't worth it.And from now on, Flynn and Queenie's relationship was offic
