You're Gonna Miss Me When I'm Gone

"Calista Everhart, what do you mean by this? A divorce agreement?"Calista woke up as soon as she heard Lucian's voice. "Literally, a divorce."He smiled coldly. "Before you go to work, come to my office and take this trash away. I want you to be at Everglade Manor at 8 pm. Bring your luggage too." She sneered. "Lucian Northwood, are you—"Before she questioned his sanity, she suddenly understood why he was contacting her."You don't have to worry about Lily being called a homewrecker. The only people who know about our marriage are our parents and close friends. "To the outsiders, you're still the good guy willing to fully support your girlfriend's career and suffer the loneliness. Now that your sacrifice has borne fruit, everyone is happy for you." Pictures of Lucian sending Lily to the hospital had been taken and released last night. And now, Calista was bringing up a divorce. Lily would take the blame as the homewrecker if words got out.When Calista finished, she realized that

Calista was using Lucian's credit card. She thought it would be a waste to use her money to stay at a hotel.She called Yara to ask for her address. Then, she drove there. Jonathan followed her the entire way, but she ignored him.An ornament scratched her hand as she took her luggage out of the car. It was bleeding, but fortunately, it wasn't serious.Yara lived on the 17th floor. She was expecting Calista, so she left the door slightly open. She was momentarily stunned when Calista brought her luggage into the house. Calista hadn't mentioned it over the phone. Yara thought Calista looked like she had run away from home.She skipped putting on her face mask as she helped Calista with the luggage. "You should've told me about your luggage. I could've waited for you downstairs …"Then, she said, "You have a scratch. What happened?" Yara was worried and wanted to get a medical kit. But Calista stopped her. "It's fine. It'll heal in no time.""You spent so much money taking care of y

Calista didn't notice anything wrong with what Lucian said. Besides, she was still angry about his indifference. So, she responded with a sullen hum. Lucian took a sip of the soup. He placed the spoon back with a little force, and it clanged against the bowl. He then lifted the blankets and lay down. Calista still had her back to him as she turned off her bedside lamp. After that, she closed her eyes, ready to sleep.For the past year, they would sometimes sleep in the same bed. But there was always space between them. The bed was big enough to fit two people. However, that night was different. Calista was fast asleep when Lucian suddenly pressed his body against her. His firm chest pressed against her back, and she was wrapped in his embrace. She could feel his muscles through the thin layers of his clothing.His hot and rough breath brushed against her ear, raising the temperature in the room. It was scorching. Before Calista could react, she felt something pressing again

The wound on Lily's leg was wrapped in gauze. It was difficult to tell whether it was infected. However, the area was indeed swollen and bulging. "Has the doctor looked at it yet?"Lucian was too indifferent. He didn't seem concerned or bothered when he looked at her swollen leg. Lily couldn't tell what he was thinking, so she didn't dare butter him up. "I've let the doctor change the dressing. It's probably because I accidentally splashed some water on it while showering … That's why it got infected." Lucian took out a cigarette and placed it between his lips. He ignored the no-smoking sign on the wall. With a click, the lighter sparked to life. It cast a warm glow on his defined features.He took a drag before looking back at Lily's leg. "Lily, you should stick to this path since you chose it. Don't ruin yourself by giving up. You gave up everything to pursue this dream." Lily didn't expect him to say that. She thought he would at least feel distressed or comfort her when he saw

Calista looked at her in horror. "Would you let someone you like basically live like a widow for three years? You have a distorted view on love if you think that's normal."Yara agreed. "You're right. But why does he insist on you moving back? You're going to need to move out in three months. It's just unnecessary." Calista didn't know why. But she wasn't interested in finding out, either. During dinner, they eventually chose to go out and have stew.Calista chose a super spicy stew that caused her to sweat from how hot it was. She felt refreshed after the meal.She was scared Lucian would stir up trouble. So, she turned off her phone that night.She woke up early the following day. She placed her luggage in the car and moved to the apartment she rented. After that, she fixed her appearance and went to her future workplace—Justa Workshop.Jacob Xanders was in charge of the workshop. He was a short man and was about 60 years old. However, he seemed shocked to see Calista.
