Semua Bab Expired Love: Bab 1 - Bab 8

He once swore I’d be the only woman he would ever touch.He said he'd be my eyes for the rest of our lives.Now, here I was, with my vision returned, and he was in bed with another woman. Maybe he didn’t love me anymore.I bit down hard on the inside of my cheek to stop myself from sobbing. However, the tears wouldn’t listen. They poured down my face, soaking into the pillow.“Sam, let’s get a divorce.” I choked out, the words slipping out of me before I could stop them.The room, filled with moaning and heavy breathing, went dead silent. Both of them turned to stare at me, eyes wide in shock.…Sam didn’t dare breathe. He clamped a hand over Alisa’s cherry-red lips and then cautiously waved it in front of my face with his free hand.Only when I didn’t react did he sigh a breath of relief. He reached out to stroke my cheek gently, coaxing me as he always did.“Babe, are you having a nightmare? Don’t talk nonsense. I’d never divorce you, silly girl. I love you... I love you

“Yeah,” I responded softly, my face blank.For the third time, Sam had lied to me.This entire photography studio had been rented out by him long ago. There weren’t any other clients.The staff nearby hesitated to speak and could only glance at me with sympathetic eyes.Alisa, clearly irritated by Sam’s attitude, stomped her foot. Then she shot me a look, her tone bratty and threatening. “Sam! If you don’t go to the hospital with me, I’m not leaving! And since you’re taking wedding photos, I’m taking them too!”Her ridiculous outburst made Sam visibly frustrated. He was afraid I'd find out the truth.He rubbed his temples hard. After a while, he gave in and nodded, unable to say no to her anymore.Alisa changed into a dress that was almost identical to mine on purpose.The three of us ended up in the wedding photos together, which was the final nail in the coffin of this joke of a marriage.“Sam, now that the photos are done, you can come with me to the hospital, right? Or I

She had always envied the rose garden.I told her before I’d give the roses to her.Standing in front of me now, the neighbor’s daughter froze as she looked at the flowers being loaded onto the moving truck.“Hazel, your husband spent a fortune on these roses for you. Every summer, I’d see you and him having candlelit dinners there. You’re really giving them to me? Just like that?”I gave her a soft smile. “There’s nothing left to hold on to. After all, they don’t belong to me anymore.”Once the roses were gone, the yard looked hollow and bare. However, I felt light and free.I walked back into the villa to finish packing my things. While sorting through the shelves, I spotted a small plush toy tucked away in a dusty corner.When Sam was just eighteen, working eight jobs to build a future for us in this city. As we barely saw each other during those days, I gave him that little toy.It could talk since I had recorded my voice: “Sammy, what are you up to? I miss you. When are yo

Sam looked appalled. His face twisted in fury as he pinched Alisa’s chin with a grip like iron, his voice ice-cold and menacing. “I told you, I’m not getting a divorce. My wife would never leave me!”Seeing blood seep beneath her, Alisa trembled and begged, “Sam, I was wrong… Please… save our baby…”However, Sam didn’t flinch. He only called the ambulance. By the time they got to the hospital, it was too late. The baby was gone.There, the doctor pronounced that Alisa would never be able to have children again.The news hit Sam’s parents like a bomb. They wailed, begged, and demanded that Sam find another woman to give them a grandchild. However, Sam was done.He booked a vasectomy the next morning.When asked why, he simply said, “I promised Hazel. If she couldn’t have kids, then I’d stay child-free for life.”…After moving to Northbridge, I entered my parents’ company.They taught me the ropes, and slowly, the pain of my marriage faded into the background.For the firs
