All Chapters of Goodbye Ex, I Found My New Flame: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“I’m afraid we have a little problem. Harold is nowhere to be found.” Diane’s younger brother, Lucas, said worriedly, avoiding his sister’s gaze.Diane felt a chill come over her at the sound of those seven words. She had been having a premonition all day, and now, it seemed that that premonition had come to pass.“That’s not possible. Our wedding ceremony starts in less than fifteen minutes. How can he be missing?” Diane asked faintly, already hyperventilating.“Just calm down, big sis. I’m certain we’ll find him. I’ll go and check again.” Lucas comforted his sister, but it was clear that even he didn’t believe his own words.“No, you stay here. I’ll go look for him myself. I need to clear my head anyway. He’s probably just really nervous and went to get some air or something.” Diane said.Before anyone could stop her, she got up and hurried out the door in search of her fiancé. She would not be able to bear the embarrassment if he turned out to be a no-show on their wedding day of a

“Oh, my goodness! I cannot believe my eyes! I must be seeing things.” Diane exclaimed in blatant joy and surprise, rushing over to hug Nicole.The two women hugged for what felt like an eternity, and as they hugged, Nicole and Harold’s eyes met.She winked at him sultrily, her eyes heavy with promises of what was to come, but he averted his gaze from hers nervously, wishing that she hadn’t come.The whole ruckus alerted Mrs. Collins, and Harold’s sister, Evelyn, who came outside to see what the ruckus was all about.“Alright, ladies. I guess this means that the vacation has to be postponed. I have to get to work urgently because something just came up, anyway, so I’ll see all of you later. Have fun.” Harold said.He hopped into the idling car to make a hasty getaway from the awkward situation he knew was about to unfold with the presence of his mother and sister, leaving Diane to deal with their luggage.Diane didn’t mind that the vacation was cancelled though, because she was overjoy

Harold Collins had never been so humiliated in his life. The more he thought about the solid beating that he had received at the hands of his brother-in-law, the angrier and more humiliated he became.That asshole had literally floored him in a fight in front of his employees, making him look like a bloody weakling.Had it been it was another person who did this to him, he would have since pressed charges and made sure that the person faced the full wrath of the law.However, he couldn’t press charges against Lucas for some personal reasons, and the bastard knew it very well, which was why he had satisfied his anger and pummelled Harold to his satisfaction.All the same, Harold couldn’t go home the way he was currently looking, with his split lips and both of his eyes nearly swollen shut. If his mother saw him in his current state, then she might decide to press charges against Lucas on his behalf, and that would spell some trouble for him.So he left work a little early and headed o

Nicole was greatly pissed, and rightfully so. It had been hours since Harold got up from the hotel bed and left without a solid explanation, discarding her like she was some whore that he picked up by the roadside.What annoyed her even more was that he refused to answer her calls. She had called him several times, but he was purposely ignoring the calls because his oh-so-precious Diane was in some so-called distress.“Yeah, right! That drama queen isn’t in any distress. She just wants to control Harold and she wants him all to herself.” Diane thought to herself spitefully.Well, since Harold was refusing to answer her calls, and she needed to know what he was doing, then she didn’t have any choice other than to call Diane to find out his whereabouts.“Bestie! How are you doing? Are you settling down fine?” Diane asked when she picked up the phone, sounding way too happy for Nicole’s liking.“I’m fine and I’m indeed settling down well. You sound happy.”“Oh, yes, I am. Harold and I de

The rest of the trip was ruined for Nicole because of the conversation that she had overheard, but somehow, she managed to pretend like everything was alright, while she thought of what to do.The first thing she did as soon as they got back from vacation was to hurry over to Nicole’s place, because of how down she was. Nicole never failed to lift her spirit whenever she was down.“I got you your favorite perfume,” Diane told Nicole after they had exchanged pleasantries, handing the perfume over to her.“Thank you, babe. You indeed are the best. Listen, I can’t help but notice that you look subdued. I hope my friend didn’t turn out to be right, after all, because I can't think of any other reason why you’ll look so down after just coming back from a romantic getaway.” Nicole said with great interest.“I …” Diane began, but she trailed off as fresh tears gathered in her eyes. She had cried a great deal in the past several days.“Diane! Is Harold truly cheating on you?!”“I … I’m not ex
