All Chapters of Never to Meet Again, Never to Long for Again: Chapter 1 - Chapter 9

In the middle of the night, half-awake, I caught a glimpse of shadows by the door.“Jessie needs a transfusion. The hospital is out of Rh-negative blood, so we have to take Ashlyn over right now.” Grant’s voice was tense with urgency as he ordered the people behind him to take me away.I wanted to fight back, but my body was limp. I did not have an ounce of strength.Were they really going to go this far for Jessie?They knew perfectly well that if they forced another blood draw from me, it could kill me. “There’s another thing. Dad called just now. He and Mom are coming by the hospital to see Ashlyn. We won’t be able to keep this under wraps with them around,” Grant said with a frown.Jeremy stayed silent for a while. Then, as if he had made up his mind on something, he said, “Tomorrow morning, I’ll release the video. We’ll say Ashlyn cheated on you with multiple men, and the baby was lost because of the strain. I’ve taken care of everything else. Once that hits, Mom and Dad wo

The scandal made national headlines. The person I contacted had probably caught wind of it too, but I was the perfect candidate for a drug trial, so I was not worried he would say no.While I was deleting the messages, my eyes landed on the photo on my phone screen. It made a wave of bitterness surge in my heart.Grant and I had grown up together. We had gone to the same school, fallen in love, and become the picture-perfect couple.Jeremy was two years older than me and adored me. Anything I wanted, he got it for me. All of that changed the moment Jessie entered our lives.She came from the countryside and was beautiful, sweet, and the complete opposite of me.She was like a wildflower pushing up through a crack in the rocks, resilient and untamed. Just like that, all eyes turned to her, including those of Jeremy and Grant.Only I knew the truth. Jessie was not who she pretended to be. She and her friends once cornered me in a bathroom, tore off my clothes, and took many photo

Grant arrived at the scene around the same time. Like a mad man, he grabbed the first person he could get his hands on and asked, “It’s not real, right? Tell me it’s not real! Where is my wife? Where is she?”Everyone looked at him with sympathy. No one said a word.Just then, Jeremy stepped forward. “Where is the driver? Where is he?”A man pushed his way out of the crowd with panic all over his face. The moment he reached them, he dropped to his knees. “M-Mr. Wirkola…”“You made it out, but what about my sister? Why didn’t you save her?” Jeremy grabbed the man by the collar and questioned him. He sounded like he wanted to kill the man on the spot.The man turned ghostly pale. “It wasn’t my fault, Mr. Wirkola. Miss Webb told us to tie Miss Wirkola up and teach her a lesson! I didn’t know we’d get into an accident, Mr. Wirkola! It all happened so fast that I didn’t even…”Jeremy’s mind went blank. He could not hear anything anymore.He could not even stand steady.Jessie had or

Jessie’s face twisted in fear. Tears rolled down as she struggled, yet she could not make a sound. All she could do was stare at Grant in despair.She could not understand why the man who was so kind to her moments ago would do something so cruel.Then, Jeremy stepped through the doorway. His expression was icy, like he was looking at something foul. He ordered his men to set up a camera. When he walked in, Jessie tried to struggle and beg for his help, but when she looked into his cold gaze, that hope shattered.She did not understand. Were these not the two men who loved her most?Why were they doing this to her?She fought to break free, but she was too weak. Every time she nearly slipped out of someone’s grip, another hand pulled her back.She did not know how long it lasted. When the men satisfied their desires and finally left, Jessie lay on the ground in despair and tears.Grant sneered and towered over her with a look of pure contempt.“Every bit of pain Ashlyn suffer
