All Chapters of A Love That Will Never Be: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ever since Carter had considered a divorce, he had counted his assets and drafted a divorce agreement. After that, he started to work on the business dealings between their family businesses.Carter was the leader of the Flanagan Group, while Misty was the daughter of the Lawrence family, who ran the Lawrence Group. After their eight years of marriage, the two family businesses were tightly intertwined. If Carter asked for a divorce, it would negatively hurt the stock prices and the ongoing partnerships. Hence, he needed to be one step ahead and prepare to face any future risks.Besides, he also needed to inform Misty's parents about his plan. He wouldn't want both families to be blindsided.After Misty argued with Carter over that broken bowl, she brought the newly repaired bowl to her best friend's home. Meanwhile, Misty parents were in the dark about the situation until Carter knocked on their door.Misty's mom, Kathy Mendel, was shocked to hear that Carter was considering a d

Zeke's bright eyes brimmed with confidence. In the past, Carter would have been triggered, but he was no longer the same man. He had since learned that a woman who could be easily wooed by others did not belong to you in the first place.He refused to spare Zeke one look in the face of Zeke's provocation. Zeke became furious. Snickering, Zeke added, "You'd better not cry when I take Misty from you.""Good luck," replied Carter dryly.Although Misty did not love him, she wouldn't fall in love with the young and rash Zeke either. She only cared about Zach. Zeke had only enjoyed Misty's attention because he was Zach's little brother.Carter helped Misty take care of the incident at the hotel and found new accommodations for Zeke before calling it a day.An idea occurred to Misty when they headed home in Carter's car. She turned to Carter, asking, "Darling, Zeke is holding an art exhibition in two days. Do you think you could show him some support?"Carter almost laughed at the absur

Terrified, Misty stared at the dejected Carter. Her eyes widened in disbelief as though she had seen his true colors.Between sobs, she wailed, "Carter Flanagan, that's too much!"Carter remained silent. After he said all there was to say, he stared at his feet quietly. He had kept his thoughts to himself for a long time, and it felt cathartic to say them aloud today.He even flashed an out-of-place smile filled with bitterness.Crying, Misty left the cemetery. She arrived home having cried her heart out. She complained, "Yeah, I might have forgotten about my in-laws' death anniversary, but I hurried to the cemetery when I remembered! Am I the only one who's in the wrong here? How about Carter? He should have reminded me and waited for me!"Misty had never expected Carter to confront her at the cemetery. She felt humiliated. He had never treated her in that way in the past.Of course, she knew very well that Carter disliked Zach, but he would never act petty over Zach, not to m

'This is your last chance,' Carter thought.A wave of unease swept over Misty, as though she was losing something important for good. But the fleeting panic was quickly replaced by a surge of anger. Trembling with rage, she lost all sense of reason.By now, she had forgotten what Carter meant by the eight chances, or perhaps, she didn't care at all."Carter, apologize to Zach!" Misty demanded coldly, her reddened eyes blazing.Even at this moment, all she could think of was Zach.Carter tasted blood in his mouth. He forced a faint smile and teared up. Finally, he blurted out the words that he had kept hidden for a long time, "Misty, let's get a divorce."Misty froze for a brief moment. Then, in her fury, she made a decision she would regret for the rest of her life."Fine, let's get a divorce!"No one—not even her husband—had the right to insult Zach Sterling.Carter wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. From the moment he brought up divorce, it felt as if all his nega

Was Carter serious about the divorce?"No! He can't be." Misty's mind went blank. Her ears rang, drowning out the world around her.Even after Carter packed all his stuff, she refused to believe he would dump her."He must be upset. This is his way of forcing me to back down, just like those times when I ran away from home, waiting for him to bring me back."That must be the only explanation. Carter loves me too much to divorce me."Misty spoke to herself as she dialed his number. Her racing heart calmed down when she heard the connecting tone on her phone. She even felt rather exasperated. Why would Carter emulate her, running away from home?Not only that, Carter didn't nail the whole thing. He should have blocked her on the phone as well!Her smile froze when she heard the busy tone. Carter had deliberately hung up on her. She redialed, only to realize he had blocked her number.With trembling hands, she WhatsApped him, typing a single word, "Darling."She could no longer s
