All Chapters of Breaking Free Before It's Too Late: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

The next morning, I was rudely awakened by the incessant loud ringing of my phone.I sleepily opened my eyes and answered the call. At once, Archer's loud roars could be heard through the phone."Selene! What's your problem? The wedding is going to start. Are you trying to humiliate me in front of the rest of my family?"It had already come to this, and yet, Archer was still only thinking about his image and reputation.Nolan Group had invited press and media to attend the so-called wedding that was held just for the sake of it. So, what did that have to do with me, anyway?"I remember telling you yesterday that I wanted to call the wedding off.""What's the point of throwing such a big fuss?" Archer demanded, still not letting it go. "If you're unhappy about the wedding gift, then just tell me about it. There's no point in you threatening me in such a useless and roundabout way."If you really don't want to marry me, there are plenty more women in the world who can't wait to ge

I then left the wedding hall, dragging the rest of the wedding dress that had never been in my size anyway.The paparazzi immediately chased after me with a barrage of questions."Ms. Larcell, you've been with Mr. Nolan for years. Why did you both have a falling-out? Was it because of a homewrecker?""Ms. Larcell, could you please answer us directly?"Maybe it was because I truly had feelings for him many years ago, but I stopped in my tracks to answer them. "We have been together for too long and have just grown sick of each other. I don't know anything about a homewrecker. I'm not sure about that."I just hope that we can let each other go."This was the last and final time I was going to defend Archer's image.I could see him running out after me behind the paparazzi, as if it took him quite a while to process everything that just happened. I found it hilarious that he, a man who had never panicked in his life, suddenly looked lost and unsure of what to do next.I could even

The night scenery in Ferris was always beautiful, and my landlord and her family were very kind.However, I faced a lot of communication problems when I first came here because we spoke completely different languages.If I didn't explain myself, people probably wouldn't think that I was a divorced woman because I looked just like an exchange student.I never thought that I'd be divorced at the mere, young age of 25, either.Ever since coming here, I continued using my alias, Luna, to start over as a designer. However, this time, I wasn't going to be a jewelry designer anymore. I was planning to be a fashion designer instead.I used to dream about designing a perfect wedding dress for myself one day. But my own wedding had been roughly prepared in a huge rush.Archer didn't even bother having me go try on wedding dresses at the boutique. Instead, he had Jacklyn try them on for me.I could still remember the day when the paparazzi released a gossip article claiming that the CEO of

Luxe Co. worked a lot faster than I thought.A week later, I received an invitation to the launch of their new line of jewelry designs. Meanwhile, Luxe Co. thought that the rings I'd designed had a very deep meaning to them, so Tony decided to auction them off instead.He also sent me an invitation to the auction. I attended it with Marley, wanting to witness it with my own eyes. I hoped that their new owner would be a lovely couple who could experience the happiness I never got to have.Tony spent a lot of money organizing the auction. I was very surprised to learn that the plain wedding rings I'd designed were going to be the grand finale for the auction.The auctioneer, Liam Ryder, held up the pair of rings in his hand with much gusto and said, "The designer of these wedding rings was a famous jewelry designer in Crenia. Initially, she wanted to wear the rings with her lover for the rest of her life."Unfortunately, some things happened, and the designer ultimately never got to

Archer Nolan’s confessionI first met Selene Larcell when we were both in high school.I had always thought very highly of myself. Some would even call me vain and conceited. However, there were still hordes of girls falling left and right for me because I had a very handsome face.Still, I hated all of them. The only exception was Selene.Selene was my junior by a year. I had fallen in love with her at first sight. I just couldn't help it.Her eyes were bright, clear, and full of innocence. There were also two dimples in her cheeks when she smiled.Still, I knew better than to start dating in my high school life if I wanted to maintain my grades in school. Hence, I just tucked away my feelings for her and assumed that it was just nice to have her around.I never thought that we would fatefully end up studying at the same college, though. It was then that I truly started paying attention to her and trying to get hers in return.I started staging "coincidences" that would let us
