All Chapters of A Love That Will Never Be: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

A stark silence expanded in the room. Misty's deathly glare swept past every face before her. Without warning, she slapped the woman who insulted Carter the most. The woman let out a shrill scream and indignantly held her cheek.Ignoring the woman, Misty finally stared at Zeke. "Who told you I'm single now?"He looked flustered. "Misty, don't be mad at me. I…""Think carefully before you act on your assumptions," Misty snapped coldly.She had no intention of sparing anyone's dignity in her fury. As Zeke's face turned ashen, she continued, her tone sharp and merciless, "Carter and I signed the divorce papers, but we haven't finalized the divorce. We are still legally married. How dare you slander him in front of me?"Even if we were divorced, who the hell do you people think you are to insult him like that?"The room fell into a chilling silence. No one dared to make a sound.The crowd had gathered today with the intention of currying favor with Misty after hearing rumors of he

After the scandal at the club, news of Carter and Misty's impending divorce spread like wildfire within their social circles.Fortunately, Carter had a PR strategy in place to minimize the impact on the stocks and businesses of both the Flanagan and Lawrence families. Their professional partnership remained unaffected. Any transition appeared smooth.However, once it became clear that the divorce was inevitable, Carter's family began setting him up with new potential partners. Meanwhile, Misty repeatedly sought him out, which left Carter exasperated. To avoid both Misty and his family, he went on extensive business trips.This time, Carter traveled to Oceania City for a business talk with Milton Pharmaceuticals about a cancer drug research project. Before the trip, he meticulously studied the project and familiarized himself with the representative from the other side.However, when he arrived at the negotiation table, he was met with a surprise. Milton Pharmaceuticals had sent a

The sudden news came as a shock to Carter. Misty's words dropped a bombshell.Shaken, his eyes turned to the sonogram report and traveled to Misty's belly.Misty, feeling a bit embarrassed, gently touched her belly and explained softly, "I've been feeling nauseous and extremely tired lately. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and that's when I found out I was pregnant."Ten minutes later, Misty followed Carter into his apartment. Still bewildered, Carter poured Misty a glass of warm water. He wasn't expecting to be a father without warning.Since Misty was a professional dancer, she was very particular about maintaining her figure. She hadn't planned on having a baby so soon. Therefore, they'd always used protection.But contraception wasn't always foolproof. The report showed that Misty was already ten weeks pregnant. That tracked; they had slept together ten weeks ago. Carter was not only shocked but also unsure of how to handle the situation. The baby arrived without war

"Darling." Not noticing anything unusual about Carter, Misty reached out to take his arm with a smile.As always, Carter dodged her touch, but Misty did not mind. She knew patience was key to getting what she wanted.Recently, Carter's attitude toward her had softened considerably. It was only a matter of time before she talked him into going home.However, Misty had a nagging worry. How much longer could she hide her fake pregnancy from him as the months went by?Her best bet was to win him over before her "belly" began to show. At the same time, she needed to sleep with him and, even better, conceive his child, so that even if the truth eventually came to light, he wouldn't hold it against her for the baby's sake.She grinned widely at that thought. "Darling, we need to leave early today for the prenatal checkup. Oh, Mom and Dad really miss you too. Why don't we head over for lunch afterward? Mom is eager to share some parenting tips with us."Carter said nothing. He did not bu

Carter did not wander far from the rooftop. Standing in the stairwell, he listened to rescuers pulling Misty back from the edge of the rooftop. Only then did he let out a tense sigh.A draft came in through the half-open window, making him shiver. He realized that his back was drenched in cold sweat.Thankfully, everything ended well. Had Misty jumped off that tower today, people would have condemned him for pushing his wife to death.He let out a bitter chuckle and made his way down the stairs, but someone stood in his way."Are you never returning to Misty's side for real?" Zeke met Carter's eyes. He asked sternly, "Did you mean what you said on the rooftop?"Carter ignored him. He had never taken Zeke seriously. All Zeke got was a frosty "get out of my way."Feeling looked down upon, Zeke grew furious. With a grim look, he was about to speak when someone patted him on the shoulder.Taylor had shown up from nowhere. He wrapped his arm around Zeke's neck and dragged him aside.
